USDA asks city attorney for support on sewer lift station bids; council consults attorney in executive session
Summary
USDA representative asked for a city-attorney letter supporting awarding sewer lift station work to the second-lowest bidder; the council entered a brief executive session for attorney consultation before returning to open session.
Mike Pan of the USDA told the council the agency requested a letter from the City Attorney supporting the sewer lift station improvement bids being awarded to the second-lowest bidder. The request prompted council action to consult with legal counsel on the procurement question.
Council Member Thomas Capp moved "for an executive discussion for 10-minutes for consultation with an attorney for the city which would be deemed privileged in an attorney-client relationship"; the motion was seconded and approved, and the council recessed for attorney consultation before returning to open session. No public details of the attorney consultation were disclosed in open session.
The council did not announce a final bid award during the meeting; the matter remained under advisement with legal counsel and the USDA request noted on the record.
