Council unanimously votes to enter closed session on labor and litigation matters
Summary
At the meeting's conclusion a motion to enter a closed session for labor negotiations, reasonably imminent litigation, personal competence of an individual, and legal advice passed unanimously following a roll call vote.
At the end of the work session Councilmember Wharton moved to enter a closed meeting for the purposes of discussing labor negotiations, reasonably imminent litigation, the personal and professional competence of an individual, and to receive advice of counsel. Councilmember Dugan seconded the motion.
The chair called the question and a roll call recorded 'Aye' votes from Councilmember Young, Councilmember Pietro, Councilmember Wharton, Councilmember Carlson, Councilmember Dugan and the chair; staff stated the motion passed unanimously and the council adjourned into closed session.
Why it matters: Closed sessions are routine for discussing privileged legal strategy or personnel matters but remove those items from public view under state law. Councilmembers recorded a unanimous vote to convene the closed session; no deliberations from that session were shared in this work session record.
