SUBJECT: JJ Wiggins Litigation-Executive Session DEPT/DEPT REQUEST: BACKGROUNDIDETAIL OF ~EPORT: On Tuesday, April 8, 2014, during the County Attorney's Report at the Board of County Commissioners meeting, pursuant to s. 286.011, Florida Statutes, I advised the Board that I desired advice, in a closed attorney/client meeting, concerning the pending litigation where L.E. Strope, Joseph P. Branch and Etta N. Holbrook (Trustees of the J.J. Wiggins Memorial Trust) have filed litigation against Glades County in Glades County Circuit Court, as Case No. 13-44CA. The individuals who can attend the closed attorney/client meeting are the four Board members, the County Attorney, the County Manager, and the court reporter. The closed attorney/client meeting has been scheduled for the regular Board meeting day of Tuesday, May 13, 2014, at 1 :30 P.M. and is being listed as an agenda item because the closed attorney/client meeting must begin during a public meeting of the Board in order to satisfy s. 286.011 (8), Florida Statutes. A copy of the Notice of the closed attorney/client meeting that was published on Sunday, May 4, 2014, in the Hendry-Glades Sunday News is attached. I have acquired the services of a court reporter to attend the closed attorney/client meeting to be held at 1 :30 P.M. The process of going into the closed attomey/client meeting is that when the item comes up on the Board meeting agenda, it can be continued to 1 :30 in the afternoon and then when all the other business of the meeting is concluded, the meeting itself can be recessed until 1 :30 in the afternoon. At 1 :30 in the afternoon, the Board can reconvene in the public meeting to consider this one agenda item and then we can proceed to enter into the closed attorney/client meeting, at which time everyone but the four commissioners, the County Attomey, the County Manager, and the court reporter will be removed from the closed attorney/client meeting. A transcript of the entire closed attorney/client meeting will be taken by the court reporter and will be retained, in confidence, until such time as the litigation is "concluded" as described in s. 286.011(8), Florida Statutes. The purpose of the closed attorney/client meeting is "confined to settlement negotiations or strategy sessions related to litigation expenditures..." as provided in s. 286.011 (8)(b), Florida Statutes. No decision making can occur during the closed meeting session; therefore, the closed meeting session is essentially for me to acquire advice on settlement negotiations and strategies. Any final decision making, including the final approval of a settlement. if one is reached in the future, between the parties will have to be approved in a future public meeting of the Board.
BUDGET IMPACT: Yes' No -If Yes, how much? From where? COORDINATION WITH: ON MOTION of Commissioner Beck seconded by Commissioner Echols the Board continued the agenda item (Executive Session) to 1 :30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 for purposes of entering into a closed attorney/client meeting under s. 286.011 (8), Florida Statutes, related to the L.E. Strope, Joseph P. Branch, and Etta N. Holbrook (Trustees of the J.J. Wiggins Memorial Trust) v. Glades County pending litigation case. Motion carried by 4-0 vote.
