San Luis council delays vote on proposed settlement with Gethsemane Baptist Church

The San Luis City Council voted to continue consideration of Order No. 2025‑O5, an order described on the agenda as approving a settlement agreement in case No. 224CV00534, Gethsemane Baptist Church v. City of San Luis in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. K. Marion McQuill, the city attorney, was listed on the agenda as the presenter for Item 5(a). During the meeting a council member said, “I'm gonna move to continue this item until staff is ready to bring it back to a council meeting,” and another council member seconded the motion. The motion passed on a voice vote. The council’s action postponed any public vote on the proposed settlement; the transcript contains no public disclosure of settlement terms, dollar amounts or other conditions. The council did not adopt Order No. 2025‑O5 during the recorded session. Per the meeting record, staff will return the item to a future council meeting when they are prepared to present it; the transcript does not specify a target date or additional materials to be provided.
