Council votes to enter executive session; clerk announces claim against Spas Septic over 460 Walton St. damage
Summary
The council voted to go into executive session to discuss pending litigation. The clerk announced the city has filed a claim against Spas Septic for damage at 460 Walton Street and said further action will be taken at the Tuesday meeting.
The council voted to go into an executive session on proposed or pending litigation after a short procedural motion. Clerk moved the session and a colleague seconded; the body approved the motion by voice vote and convened the closed-door session.
In open meeting the clerk announced, “So the city filed a claim against Spas Septic, for damage, at 460 Walton Street,” and added that further action would be taken at the next Tuesday meeting. No additional details about the claim or the nature of the damage were offered on the record at this meeting.
The announcement preceded other agenda items and was repeated as part of the mayor’s package of business to be addressed. The clerk said the lease-authorization and related legal-services items that appear later on the agenda tie to the discussion of that same damage claim.
No litigants, settlements, or dollar amounts were disclosed during the public portion of the meeting; the council moved into closed session to discuss the city’s legal position. The council is scheduled to reconvene or report next steps at the Tuesday meeting cited by the clerk.
