Council votes 9–0 to enter executive session to discuss litigation strategy
Summary
The Committee of the Whole voted unanimously to enter executive session under Iowa Code section 21.5(1)(c) to discuss strategy with counsel in matters involving litigation and planned to adjourn directly from that session.
Near the end of the July 15 meeting the Mayor moved the council to go into executive session "to discuss strategy with counsel in matters involving litigation pursuant to Iowa Code section 21.5(1)(c)." The City clerk called the roll for the executive session and the council recorded nine "yes" votes; the Mayor said the meeting would adjourn from the executive session and not reconvene in the chamber.
The motion was made and the roll call (as read aloud in committee) recorded unanimous consent to enter executive session; the committee did not discuss litigation matters in open session and no substantive details were discussed on the public record. The transcript records the legal citation invoked for the executive session.
