Seattle City Council Special Meeting - Executive Session 22222

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

My name is Deborah Juarez and I'm the Seattle City Council president.

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 or potential or actual litigation.

The council's executive sessions are 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 sessions.

I expect the executive session to end by 1.33.

That's about 30 minutes.

If the executive session is to be extended beyond that time, I will announce the extension and the expected duration.

I will now call the roll.

Council President, this is City Clerk Martina Simmons.

Once Eric confirms that only authorized attendees are on the line, I'll conduct the roll of those attendees.

Okay, confirming.
