At 7:26 p.m. the City Council of Lindsay voted to convene an executive session under Sec. 551.071 of the Texas Government Code to receive legal advice related to pending or contemplated litigation or where attorney-client duties apply. The motion to enter executive session was made by Glenn Block, seconded by Klay Gilbert, and passed 5-0.
The council returned from executive session at 8:02 p.m., resumed open session and proceeded to consider and deny the Preliminary Plat for the Breezy Haven Addition. The executive-session motion language and citation of Sec. 551.071 were recorded in the meeting minutes; the record does not disclose the subject-matter details of attorney advice because Sec. 551.071 authorizes confidentiality for legal consultation.
Because the subject of executive session is privileged under state law, the public record includes only that the council invoked the attorney-client exception and then returned to act in open session.
