The Edmond City Council convened a special meeting Aug. 13 and immediately entered an executive session to discuss pending or potential litigation under RCW 42.30.110(1)(i), the presiding officer said. The council recessed to the closed session at about 5:00 p.m. for an expected duration of roughly 90 minutes and returned at about 6:30 p.m., when the meeting was adjourned.

“The council will now convene in an executive session to discuss pending or potential litigation per RCW 42.30.110(1)(i) for approximately 90 minutes until 06:30PM,” the presiding officer said. The statement indicated the session was being held under the cited provision of the Revised Code of Washington, which permits closed deliberations on litigation in certain circumstances.

No public votes or substantive details of the executive-session discussion were disclosed in the public record at the meeting. After the closed session, the presiding officer called the special meeting back to order and said, with no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m.

Because the matters were discussed in executive session, the council did not provide details about the litigation topics, any deliberations, or any decisions taken during the closed session on the public record.
