The Willard City Council moved into a closed session during its Feb. 26, 2026 meeting to discuss imminent litigation after a motion from Council member Jake and a second from Chair Rob.
The meeting opened with an invocation from Chair Rob and the Pledge of Allegiance led by Council member Jake. Chair Rob told attendees the start time had been moved to 6:00 p.m. because the first agenda item was a consideration of a closed session.
During the business portion of the meeting, Council member Jake moved "we enter a closed session." Chair Rob seconded the motion. Jake said that "imminent litigation is permitted under UTEC 0 5 2 dash 4 dash 2 0 5," citing the statutory basis offered for holding a closed session.
The council conducted a roll call. The transcript records affirmative responses from Jake, Ron, Rex, Mike and Jordan; Chair Rob then excused the members to proceed into a closed session. The roll call responses were recorded as "Yes" for each named member, and the motion to enter closed session carried.
No further formal actions or votes were taken in open session on the litigation item before the council recessed to the closed session. After members were excused, brief informal comments about office space and providing donuts were exchanged; those remarks were conversational and not part of the council's formal business.
The council is expected to reconvene in open session after the closed session (not specified in the transcript).
