Coosa County commissioners add pending litigation to agenda, convene executive session
Summary
At the Oct. 17, 2025 continued meeting the commission voted to add discussion of pending litigation to the agenda and entered an executive session; motions to enter and exit the executive session were recorded as unanimous.
During the Oct. 17, 2025 continued Coosa County Commission meeting, commissioners agreed to add an agenda item to discuss pending litigation and subsequently moved into an executive session to address it.
The minutes record: "MOTIONED BY COMMISSIONER JOHN FORBUS TO ADD TO THE AGENDA TO DISCUSS PENDING LITIGATION. SECONDED BY CHAIR LAMAR DAUGHERTY. UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED." Following that addition, the minutes state that Commissioner John Forbus moved "TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION," seconded by Commissioner Bertha K. McElrath, and that the commission later voted to come out of executive session on a motion by Commissioner Brandon Davis, seconded by Commissioner John Forbus; both motions are recorded as unanimously approved.
The minutes do not include details of the litigation discussed while in executive session (the record is consistent with standard practice that litigation strategy discussed in executive session is not included in open minutes). The commission's action to add the litigation item and hold an executive session is the principal recorded outcome in the public minutes.
