Council authorizes mayor to execute settlement in pending litigation

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.
