Pegram votes to have town attorney decline intervention in Tennessee CSX false claims lawsuit
Summary
After an attorney–client session, the board voted 3–0 to have the town attorney file paperwork declining intervention in the Tennessee CSX false claims lawsuit; the action was taken in closed session and recorded on the public agenda upon resumption.
Following an attorney–client privileged session, the Town of Pegram Board unanimously directed the town attorney to file paperwork declining intervention in the Tennessee CSX false claims lawsuit.
Alderman Miranda Montgomery moved that the attorney file the paperwork; Vice Mayor Bob Sanders seconded the motion. The recorded vote was Sanders—yes, Morehead—yes, Montgomery—yes; Howington and Paszek were absent. The minutes state the motion carried.
The minutes do not provide details of the privileged discussion or the attorney’s legal analysis; they record only the board’s post-session direction to decline intervention and have the attorney submit the appropriate paperwork.
