Livingston City Council retires into closed session over labor talks, litigation and appointment
Summary
The Livingston City Council opened a special meeting, received no public comment on closed-session items and recessed into closed session to discuss labor negotiations, four anticipated litigation matters and a public employee appointment; no votes were taken in open session.
The presiding official opened a special meeting of the Livingston City Council in June 2004 and the clerk performed roll call, confirming that all council members and the mayor were present.
The clerk stated, "For the record, all council members and mayor are in attendance." The presiding official then led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance and called for a moment of silence for first responders and military members.
The meeting moved to citizen comments limited to closed-session agenda items: item 6, conference with labor negotiator; item 7, conference with legal counsel regarding anticipated litigation (four matters); item 8, conference with labor negotiators; and item 9, public employee appointment. The presiding official asked whether there were any callers on the phone and whether there were comments in the chamber; finding none, the official closed citizen comments at 06:05.
The presiding official announced the council would retire into closed session to discuss the listed items, saying, "And we are going to retire into closed session, and we'll be right back." The transcript records no motions or votes in open session and no public comments were made on the closed-session topics.
The council's next public action following the closed session is not recorded in this transcript.
