In a special meeting of the Snoqualmie City Council on March 7, 2025, Mayor Ross opened the session, emphasizing the use of Zoom technology for public access. The meeting began with a roll call, confirming the attendance of council members and excusing three members from the session.

The primary focus of the meeting was an executive session, which was scheduled to discuss potential litigation matters with legal counsel. This session, expected to last approximately 30 minutes, was deemed necessary to address issues that could have adverse financial consequences for the city if made public.

City Attorney Dina Burke, City Administrator Mike Chambliss, HR Manager Kim Johnson, and Peter Altman from Summit Law were present to provide legal insights during the discussion. Importantly, no actions were anticipated following the executive session, and the council planned to adjourn directly from this private meeting without returning to open session.

This meeting underscores the council's commitment to addressing legal matters discreetly while ensuring public transparency through recorded sessions. The outcome of the executive session remains to be seen, but it highlights the ongoing legal considerations facing the city.
