Council approves executive session under CRS 24‑6‑402 to discuss property, litigation and lease negotiations
Summary
City staff requested and the council approved an executive session citing Colorado Revised Statutes section 24‑6‑402 subsections (4)(a), (4)(b) and (4)(e) to discuss property acquisition/lease/sale issues, receive legal advice, and develop negotiation strategy for topics including a water project, potential litigation and an ACCRA lease.
At the close of the March 25 meeting, city staff asked the council to enter executive session under Colorado Revised Statutes section 24‑6‑402 subsections (4)(a), (4)(b) and (4)(e). The stated purposes were to discuss the purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer or sale of real and personal property interests; to receive legal advice on specific legal questions; and to determine positions and develop strategy for matters that may be subject to negotiations.
The staff memo identified specific matters for the closed session: rights‑of‑way and road/water project issues, potential litigation and negotiations over an ACCRA lease. A councilor moved to go into executive session, another councilor seconded, the council voted by roll call in favor and the council left the room to meet downstairs; no further open‑session discussion or votes were taken that evening.
The city clerk was directed to retain the recording of the executive session for at least 90 days as required by statute. The council did not reconvene the open meeting that night.
