I asked the question: What is the criteria for executive session discussions? Attorney Gebo gave me what he called the short version explanation. I will give you the watered down version. Executive Session is for topics of personnel, labor negotiations, or litigations. Evidently there was a billing dispute between the owners of the Harbor Villa's and the Village of Abay. This was going to end up in litigation but an agreement was reached. Disputes heading towards litigation like this one are discussed in executive session. This was not your typical water bill dispute.
The VB assumed that the public would understand that this was a potential for litigation. I asked that they place a remark in the meeting minutes stating briefly why something like this was in executive session. For example: Harbor Villa water dispute [possible litigation]
