The CPRA board voted unanimously by roll call to enter an executive session to discuss settlement authority for pending litigation.
At the end of the public meeting the board considered a motion to enter executive session to discuss settlement and to authorize the chairman and agency executive leadership to negotiate terms. The motion was made by board member Bourgeois; the chair called for a roll-call vote. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from the named board members, after which the board moved into executive session.
