Council votes to enter executive session to consult legal counsel about potential litigation
Summary
The Harrison City Council voted Dec. 11 to enter executive session under Idaho Code 74-206(1)(f) to consult the city attorney on legal ramifications and options for pending or imminently likely litigation. The motion passed with council assent recorded in the minutes.
At the close of its Dec. 11 meeting the Harrison City Council voted to enter executive session under Idaho Code 74-206(1)(f) to consult with legal counsel concerning the legal ramifications of pending or imminently likely litigation. The motion was made by Will Butler and seconded by Joe Cornell; the minutes record AYE votes by the present council members.
The minutes state that the executive-session authority is being invoked to communicate with legal counsel about legal ramifications and options for pending litigation or controversies likely to be litigated. The record also notes that the mere presence of legal counsel at an executive session does not satisfy statutory requirements. No substantive substance of the legal discussion is recorded in the public minutes, consistent with the confidentiality of executive sessions under Idaho law.
