Livingston County board votes to enter closed session to discuss pending litigation, citing MCL 15.268
The Livingston County Board of Commissioners voted to go into closed session during its May 13 meeting to discuss a written legal opinion and a pending litigation matter.

The Chair moved to convene a closed session under the statutory provision cited during the meeting (MCL 15.268). Commissioner Sample made the motion to enter the closed session and Commissioner Deaton supported it. The Clerk conducted a roll-call vote; every commissioner gave an affirmative vote and the Clerk announced the motion carried.

The board read aloud a case reference during the motion that the record captures as “23-31864-C.” The meeting transcript does not record any substantive discussion of the litigation in open session, nor does it disclose the underlying facts of the case; the board proceeded to the closed session after the roll-call vote.

Because the matter moved to closed session, the transcript provides no further detail about the litigation or the written legal opinion cited as the basis for closure.
