Angel Fire council votes down settlement offer in Bavec lawsuit
Summary
A motion to accept an offer to settle Bavec v. Angel Fire failed on a roll-call vote; council recorded 'Nay' votes and the motion did not pass, as announced by the mayor.
The Village of Angel Fire council considered an offer to settle the pending case Bavec v. Angel Fire and voted against the motion on a roll-call vote.
Mayor Lindsey asked for a motion to approve the settlement; the motion was made and seconded but failed when roll-call votes were read. The roll-call in the transcript shows the listed council members recorded “Nay,” and the mayor announced the motion failed.
No details of the settlement offer or financial terms were read into the record during the public portion of the meeting. The council returned from the earlier executive session on pending litigation under NMSA 10-15-1(H)(7) and explicitly stated that no decisions were made in that closed session.
Outcome: the settlement motion failed and no alternative settlement was presented on the floor.
