The City Council is to meet in executive session, which is not open to the public, at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Executive Session Conference Room, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.

Agenda items are:

  • Discussion and/or consultation for legal advice with the city attorney regarding the city’s invocation at council meetings and contemplated litigation;
  • Discussion and/or consultation for legal advice with the city attorney regarding an amendment to the development agreement between the city of Apache Junction and Mehmood Mohiuddin; and

READ: What is being decided behind closed doors?

State law allows the meetings per Arizona Revised Statutes 38-431.03, which states, in part, that upon a public majority vote of the members constituting a quorum, a public body may hold an executive session. It goes on to list seven subsections detailing the types of meetings that may be held, according to azleg.gov.
