On Jan. 20 the Centennial City Council moved to enter executive session to receive legal advice on specific legal questions concerning 2024 housing legislation, Governor Polis’ executive orders, and a related lawsuit filed by home-rule municipalities against the state of Colorado.
Mayor Sweetland announced the intent to convene an executive session pursuant to Colorado statute. A council member moved to enter executive session for the stated purposes and a second was recorded; the transcript shows the chair then adjourned the meeting and the executive session was to be held upstairs. The clerk and city attorney were noted as participants for the session; no further business was to be conducted that evening.
The transcript does not record the roll-call vote totals in the public record excerpt, only that a motion and second were made and that two-thirds is the statutory threshold for entering executive session under the cited statute. The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:45 p.m. and the executive session was scheduled to follow.
