Text excluding items 17, 29 & A2
There are two item that I am told we need to take up in executive session at this time. Then we'll come back to cdbg. The reason for this is that the county attorney says that based on the action that we take, they will know what to do in preparation for further discussion with us this afternoon.
>> we're going into executive session now?
>> yeah, but just for two item. Not for -- for item a-2, dhos approve agreement for legal services regarding lawsuit styled northwest Austin m.u.d. Number 1 is 11 verse alberto gonzales, attorney general of the united states, case number 106-cv-01384, plf, in the u.s. District court for the district of columbia, and the second one is one that joe gieselman says we need to take so we can give lcra some advice before a deadline, and that is number 17, which is to consider and take appropriate action on comments to the lower colorado river authority on the harbor ventures incorporated marina application, cross water yacht club in precinct 3.
>> that is related to number 29, so could you also announce that one?
>> a-2 was the only one that I announced. I announced a-2.
>> could you also announce number 29?
>> not if we're supposed to have a full discussion of it?
>> I don't think it will be.
>> a-2, we can do in a five minutes, can't we?
>> I think so. The reason we're doing this is to protect our right to go in there in case there's any overlap. Commissioner Daugherty wasn't in the meeting last week, so in case there's a question or two, this is a safeway legally. We plan to not cover the second one so much, be but then come back later in the day on just the second one.
>> 29, revised language, receive legal briefing and take appropriate action regarding case number 106-cv-o 1384 plf in the united states district court for the district of columbia, northwest Austin municipal utility district number one versus alberto gonzales, attorney general of the united states concerning preclearance politic act and constitution alty of Texas five of the voting rights act, 42 usc, section 1973-c. Both of these are under consultation with attorney exception to the open meetings act. The item regarding lcra is under consultation with attorney also. We'll discuss these three item and return to open court before taking any action.
>> ...on the cross water yacht club, move that we authorize staff to add a concluding paragraph that's a bit more general than the draft comments that we saw. Put those in final shape for the judge's signature. Asap and for submission to the lcra without the judge's signature if that will get it done.
>> second.
>> move that we those executive gieselman, the -- the omnipotent or near omnipotent executive manager to sign the comments. Discussion? Favor favor? That passes by unanimous vote. We also discussed a 2, the matter involving retaining outside council to represent Travis County in the northwest Austin m.u.d. Number 1 versus alberto gonzalez to protect Travis County's interest. Based on the information that we received I move that we authorize the county attorney to -- to present a contract to renee hicks, along the line, same terms and condition that's we discussed and that were offered by mr. Hicks and that we -- that we request an update next Tuesday. October 31st on this matter. Discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. So I think that takes care of item no. 29, also. We will have that back on next week.
