The Navajo County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday approved a proposed settlement agreement in a property tax appeal involving Wal-Mart after meeting in executive session to consider the settlement proposal.
County attorneys and staff advised the board to enter executive session for the purpose of considering a settlement. The board recessed, consulted in closed session and returned to regular session; a supervisor moved to approve the recommendation that had been discussed in executive session, the motion was seconded and the board voted unanimously to adopt it. "We have a motion and a second. Any more discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor, vote aye," the chair said before the unanimous vote.
The board did not provide details of the settlement during public session, and no dollar amount or specific terms were disclosed in the meeting record. County staff thanked legal counsel for their work on the item.
