At the start of a joint Lawrenceburg City Council and Utility Service Board work session on Oct. 27, City Attorney Del Webb requested a motion authorizing the legal department to make a settlement offer to the entity referenced by the attorney.

A motion was made and seconded. On a voice vote the attendees said "Aye" and the mayor announced the motion carried. The meeting record did not include a roll-call tally of individual votes or disclose the identity of the counterparty; council minutes and supporting materials were not available in the meeting transcript.

The motion was procedural and limited to authorizing the legal department to make an offer; no settlement terms were discussed, and no legislation, ordinance or contract award was executed at the meeting.

The session then moved to a presentation by Danner's Creek Development regarding a grading permit request for Borrow Area 6.

Ending: The authorization was passed by voice vote; any follow-up or public disclosure of settlement terms would be performed by the legal department or appear in subsequent meeting materials, if provided.
