Council authorizes mayor to execute settlement in pending litigation
Summary
After returning from executive session on pending litigation, council authorized the mayor to execute the settlement offer when presented; council voted unanimously and no members of the public addressed the settlement item in chamber.
The council recessed to executive session for consultation with the city attorney on pending litigation and returned to open session. After the executive session, Council Member Ford moved that "the city council authorizes the mayor to execute the settlement offer when presented," the motion was seconded, opened for public comment (none in chamber), and the mayor called the vote. The record states the motion "is carried unanimously." No roll-call individual votes were entered into the public record during the open-session vote.
The litigation matter was read into the record before executive session, including the court cause number and multiple listed parties. Council authorized the mayor to sign settlement documents "when they are properly executed," and indicated action would be taken in open session if the documents are presented for signature.
