Council votes to enter closed session on pending litigation; routine start motion approved earlier
Summary
The council approved a procedural motion to begin the Oct. 21 work session and later voted by roll call to move into a closed executive session to discuss pending or imminent litigation under the cited statute.
The meeting began with a procedural motion to start the work session; the motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice.
Near the end of the agenda, the mayor asked for a motion to enter a closed executive session under the statutory citation read aloud during the motion. A motion to move into a closed session to discuss pending or imminent litigation was moved and seconded; the council conducted a roll-call agreement approving the closed session. No substantive details of the pending litigation were discussed in open session; staff and council then moved to the closed session as permitted under the cited authority.
The motion language referenced the statutory authority as read by the chair (verbatim as spoken in the packet), and staff recorded the membership present for the roll call before recessing into the executive session.
