Palmetto Bay schedules closed session to discuss Yacht Club litigation
Summary
The Village of Palmetto Bay announced an executive session to obtain legal advice on Yacht Club by Luxcom LLC v. Village of Palmetto Bay (case no. 2020023918CA01). The village attorney cited Florida Statute 286.0118(a) and requested a follow-up closed meeting on July 23, 2026 at 6 p.m.; council recessed and later adjourned.
The mayor of the Village of Palmetto Bay opened an executive session to discuss pending litigation, saying the meeting was "to discuss the Miami Dade County Circuit Court case of Yacht Club by Luxcom LLC versus Village of Palmetto Bay, Florida .... case number 2020023918CA01." The announcement identified the specific lawsuit to be discussed in closed session.
The village attorney told the body he sought legal advice under Florida Statute 286.0118(a), citing the statute as the basis for a closed session. He asked that the council hold an executive session on July 23, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., and named planned attendees including the mayor, council members, the village manager, himself (identified in the transcript as John Quick), and special counsel Alicia Gonzales, Pete Waldman, and Ed Martos. "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," the attorney said.
No public deliberations on the merits of the lawsuit were recorded in the public portions of the transcript. The council recessed for the executive session after a motion and second; later, after the closed portion concluded, the council moved to adjourn and members responded "Aye." The transcript contains a likely transcription error near the close — the phrase "Tomino Bay" appears, which has been corrected in this report to "Palmetto Bay."
