Summary
The council entered closed session under Open Meetings Act section 8(e) to consult with its attorney on Archer v. City of Charlotte (Case No. 1:26‑cv‑01863) and under section 8(h) to consider material exempt from disclosure under FOIA section 13(1)(g); the council returned to open session after each closed session.
The Charlotte City Council voted to enter closed session twice during the July 13 meeting.
Council Member Scott made the motion and it was seconded by Council Member Neumann to enter closed session pursuant to Open Meetings Act section 8(e) to consult with the city attorney about trial or settlement strategy in connection with pending litigation: Archer v. City of Charlotte, Case No. 1:26‑cv‑01863. The council returned to open session later in the meeting.
A second motion, made by Council Member Scott and seconded by Council Member Neumann, moved the council into closed session under Open Meetings Act section 8(h) to consider material exempt from disclosure by state statute, specifically FOIA section 13(1)(g). The council again returned to open session after considering the exempt material. No additional details about the litigation or the exempt material were disclosed in open session.
