That the request came to the attention of staff after the Agenda was posted.

Motion by Rhodes Rigsby, seconded by Bhavin Jindal, and the motion carried by a vote of 5-0-0-0 to add the item of discussion to the closed session, based on the findings that 1) there was an immediate need to take action based on the scheduled court hearing date this month on the above-noted case, and 2) the matter came to staff's attention after the City Council Agenda was posted.
