Langley council holds closed executive session on potential litigation
Summary
The Langley City Council convened a closed executive session June 29 to consult with legal counsel about potential litigation under state law; the session lasted from shortly after 5:30 PM and was extended until 7:00 PM before the council returned to open session.
The Langley City Council convened a closed executive session with city legal counsel June 29 to discuss potential litigation, Mayor Kenny Horstman said.
"The council will now convene an executive session ... to discuss with city legal counsel litigation or potential litigation," Horstman said, citing RCW 42 31 10 1 I as the statutory basis for the closed meeting. The mayor announced the executive session shortly after the meeting opened at 5:30 PM and said it would initially run to 6:30 PM.
Council members extended the executive session two times, with the mayor noting it was extended first to 6:45 PM and then to 7:00 PM before the meeting returned to open session. No details of the litigation discussion were disclosed during the public reconvening; the council followed the statutory process that allows closed consultations with legal counsel when public discussion would likely cause legal or financial harm to the agency.
The council reconvened in public at 7:00 PM and resumed a short agenda before adjourning at 7:06 PM. No formal motions or votes related to the executive-session topic were recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
