Byron council votes to enter closed session to discuss pending litigation
Summary
At 2:05 p.m. on March 18, the City of Byron Mayor and Council voted to enter closed session under O.C.G.A. §50-14-2 to discuss pending litigation; the minutes list attendees and record a return to open session at 2:30 p.m.
At 2:05 p.m. during the March 18 special session, Council Member Michael Chumbley moved and Council Member Chris Hodges seconded that the City of Byron Mayor and Council go into closed session under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. §50-14-2) for the purpose of discussing pending litigation. The motion was approved; those voting in favor were Council Members Michael Chumbley, Chris Hodges, Rusty Adams, and Alan Dorsey; the minutes record no votes against the motion.
The minutes list attendees to the closed session as Council Members Alan Dorsey, Michael Chumbley, Rusty Adams, and Chris Hodges, and note city employees Deputy Clerk Dede Thibodeaux and City Administrator Tiffany Sandefur attended the closed session. The public minutes do not record the substance of the closed-session discussion, consistent with the cited statute.
A motion by Council Member Michael Chumbley, seconded by Council Member Rusty Adams, returned the meeting to open session at 2:30 p.m.; the minutes record the return as unanimous. The special session then adjourned at 2:31 p.m.
Because the minutes record only that the council entered a closed session under O.C.G.A. §50-14-2 to discuss pending litigation, no details of the litigation or related actions are included in the public record from this meeting.
