Thank you, Madam Clerk.
The purpose of this special meeting is to hold an executive session regarding pending potential or actual litigation.
If there's no objection, the agenda will be adopted.
Not seeing or hearing any objection, the agenda is indeed adopted.
We will now move into executive session and I will share this information so we're officially there.
As presiding officer, I'm announcing that Seattle City Council will now convene an executive session.
The purpose of the executive session is to discuss pending potential or actual litigation.
The council's executive session is an opportunity for the council to discuss confidential legal matters with city attorneys as authorized by law.
A legal monitor from the city attorney's office is always present to ensure the council reserves questions of policy for open session.
I expect the time of the executive session to end at 1.30.
The Executive Session is to be extended beyond that time.
I will announce the extension and expect the duration.
At the conclusion of this Executive Session, the City Council meeting will be adjourned.
The next regularly scheduled City Council meeting is today at 2. So with that, we'll move into Executive Session.
