Executive Session Authorized
Councilmember Ohlson made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Roy, to adjourn into executive
session, as permitted under City Code Section 2-31(a)(2) for the purpose of meeting with the City
Attorney regardig legal issues.
Councilmember Troxell asked why the motion for the executive session was so vague and not more
specific. City Attorney Roy stated State law requires that the motion state the particular Code
citation under which the motion is made that permits the executive session and the topic with as
much specificity as possible without compromising the purpose for which the executive session is
held. Historically, Council has not specified the topic with regard to legal issues or litigation or
potential litigation as it might say more than Council wants to say in order to preserve the purpose
for which the executive session is held. Everything discussed will be related to potential litigation.
The vote on the motion is as follows: Yeas: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson, Poppaw, Roy and Troxell.
Nays: none.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
