1. Welcome
2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items.
3. Possible Executive Session to discuss pending or probable civil litigation to which the public body may be a party and confidential attorney-client communications made for the purpose
of providing professional legal services to Council and to discuss negotiating or securing of real estate purchase or lease options.
T. Barritt moved that Council make a specific finding that premature general public knowledge of: 1) confidential attorney-client communications made for the purpose of providing professional legal services to the Council; and, 2) related to the Burton
application, pending or probable civil litigation to which the City may be a party, would clearly place the City at a substantial disadvantage. M. Emery seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. T. Barritt moved that, having so found, I now move that the Council enter into executive session for the purpose of discussing the matters identified in the previous motion as well as for a separate session to discuss the negotiating or securing of real estate purchase or lease options. Inviting in: Colin McNeil, Kevin Dorn, Tom Hubbard, Shawn Burke, Paul Conner, Alan Newman, Alex Crothers, Justin Worthley and Brian Dunkiel. T. Chittenden seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
The Council then entered executive session. 4. Adjourn
