Village attorney invokes Fla. Stat. 286.0118(a) to request closed legal advice
Summary
John Quick, identified in the transcript as the village attorney, told the council he sought legal advice under Florida Statute 286.0118(a) concerning Yacht Club by Luxcom LLC v. Village of Palmetto Bay and asked that a closed executive session be scheduled for July 23, 2026 at 6 p.m.
John Quick spoke to the council, citing Florida Statute 286.0118(a) as the legal authority to hold a closed executive session and asking for legal advice on the pending Yacht Club by Luxcom LLC v. Village of Palmetto Bay litigation. "Pursuant to Florida statute 286.0118(a) ... I, as the attorney for the Village of Palmetto Bay, wish to advise the village during this public meeting," he said.
Quick requested that the council hold an executive session on July 23, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. and named intended attendees, listing the mayor and council members, the village manager, himself (identified in the transcript as John Quick), and special counsel Alicia Gonzales, Pete Waldman, and Ed Martos. The public portion of the transcript contains no substantive discussion of litigation facts; the attorney's statement serves as a formal request to receive private legal advice in closed session.
