Closed session: council authorizes two lawsuits Item J

Lawsuits and settlements

Before the open meeting the council met in closed session on three legal matters: two cases of anticipated litigation in which the city would be the plaintiff, and one existing personal injury auto accident lawsuit against the city (case no. 24NNCV04282 on the agenda). Reported out in open session: the council voted 5-0 in each of the two anticipated matters to authorize the city attorney's office to file suit. Who the city intends to sue, and over what, was not disclosed; that is to be made public once the suits are filed. No reportable action was taken on the existing case. No one commented on the closed session items.

  • Authorize the city attorney's office to commence litigation in the first anticipated-litigation matter, with the city as plaintiff (vote taken in closed session and reported out; mover not stated). Result: passed, 5-0.
  • Authorize the city attorney's office to commence litigation in the second anticipated-litigation matter, with the city as plaintiff (vote taken in closed session and reported out; mover not stated). Result: passed, 5-0.
  • Existing litigation, a personal injury auto accident case against the city (case no. 24NNCV04282 on the agenda): no reportable action. Result: no action.
