<br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that later in the agenda the Council would recess to the <br />executive session. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers inquired as to whether the executive session would <br />be open or closed. <br /> <br />Mr. Corwin indicated that, if Council recesses to a closed session to vote, they would be <br />knowingly violating the opening meeting law. ,He further stated that he would sue the <br />City and each individual Council Member because they would be libel. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she would like to research the information <br />received from Mr. Corwin concerning violation of the open meeting laws. She then <br />indicated that she was not comfortable making a decision at this meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Corwin indicated that a written request for data was submitted and that request was <br />refused. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg told Mr. Corwin that Council had heard his opinion on the matter and <br />was aware of his concern. <br /> <br />Mr. Corwin told Council that proceeding to an executive session for a vote would make it <br />an intentional act because Council has been made aware that it is illegal to do so. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated that Council relies upon its counsel and accepts his advice <br />because they are not attorneys. He then indicated that Mr. Hoeft and Mr. Corwin appear <br />to have a difference of opinion as to how the law reads. <br /> <br />VI. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES <br /> <br />1.
