The council entered executive session to discuss pending litigation (Timothy Bork et al. v. City of Abbeville). After the closed-session discussion the city attorney summarized recent settlement talks with the plaintiffs' counsel and asked the council to accept the proposal included in the packet. The attorney stated the packet contained numbers that would resolve claims by the plaintiffs and asked for a motion to accept the settlement terms; the council moved, seconded and approved the settlement.
The attorney described multiple plaintiffs and the packet'based settlement terms but did not name individual plaintiffs during the public report. The exact dollar figure presented orally in the transcript was not clearly formatted in the record and should be verified in the executive-session packet and settlement documents before publication.
