Correction to my update: Topic of tonight's closed Council session has been narrowed
|
This afternoon, while I was writing the update sent a little while ago, the agenda for this evening's 6:30 pm closed "administrative function" meeting of the Council was narrowed. It no longer will include any discussion of the scope of the planned audit.? The new description of the meeting reads: "The?Council will meet regarding evaluation of an outside legal firm to perform an independent?audit relating to the events giving rise to the litigation known as Cooper v. City of Takoma?Park. Administrative function sessions are closed to the public."? As I said in my update, I've been seeking assurances that any discussion of the scope of the audit itself can be as transparent as possible, so I'm happy that this change has been made. I'm comfortable that evaluations of the merits of possible outside investigators (which would likely involve naming them) indeed qualifies as an administrative function.? Best regards, Roger  Roger Schlegel City?Council Member,?Ward Three? 7500 Maple Avenue Takoma Park, MD 20912 Please note that all City emails can potentially be public. |
