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.
