Vice Mayor Carl C. Hansen called for a motion to approve the Announcement of the
Closed-Door Attorney/Client Session.
Councilmember Dalack wished to have a discussion relative to the Closed-Door
Attorney/Client Session scheduled for September 3, 1999, prior to the vote to approve
Announcement of the same.
Mr. Dalack stated that he realized time was of the essence relative to holding the
Closed-Door Attorney/Client Session. However, he noted that he could not be in
attendance tomorrow (Friday, September 3, 1999) nor was Mayor Mackail able to attend.
He asked if it was possible to reschedule the Closed-Door Attorney/Client Session for
next week so that all five Councilmembers could be present. Village Manager Bradford
stated that he believed Mayor Mackail would be out of town next week. Vice Mayor
Hansen commented that it was very difficult to get five Councilmembers to meet, and even
four was sometimes difficult. Councilmember Dalack then acknowledged that the
Closed-Door Attorney/Client Session would have to be held on Friday, September 3,
1999.

Village Manager Bradford stated he wished to note for the record that the Subject Matter
of the Meeting (under Item No. 1) involved two separate Petitions: Village of Tequesta v
Palm Beach County Health Department, and Village of Tequesta v the South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD) and the Loxahatchee River Environmental Control
District (ENCON). Attorney Scott Hawkins advised Mr. Bradford that he wished to
discuss strategy relating to these two litigation matters in a Closed-Door Attorney/Client
Session, and that it was along the lines of what was discussed at the last Close-Door
Attorney/Client Session.
Vice Mayor Hansen asked if it would be possible for Mr. Dalack to discuss with Mr.
Bradford his feeling on what the strategy should be so that Mr. Bradford could take his
comments to the meeting tomorrow, since Mr. Dalack would not be able to attend the
Closed-Door Attorney/Client Session. Mr. Bradford stated that he thought it was possible
and believed that it would be all right for Mr. Dalack to tell him what his feeling is as long
as there was no decision-making involved. This solution was acceptable to Mr. Dalack
who noted that what he and Mr. Bradford discussed today would be part of the record for
tomorrow's meeting.
Councilmember Schauer made a motion to approve the Announcement of the
Close-Door Attorney/Client Session Councilmember Capret7~conded the
motion. The vote on the motion was:
Joseph N. Capretta - for
Basil E. Dalack - for
Carl C. Hansen - for
Elizabeth A. Schauer - for
The motion was therefore passed and adopted and the Announcement was approved
as stated.
