Closed Session on Mayor Removal Action Pretrial Hearing (26-0906)

Context: Identical items citing Texas Government Code § 551.071 and Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.05 were posted for special council meetings on both 2026-06-08 and 2026-06-09 concerning the pretrial hearing for the removal action of the mayor.

Recommended: Obtain the posted notices, certified agendas, and any open-session minutes for the special council meetings held on consecutive days regarding the mayor's removal pretrial hearing, and confirm whether any vote or action was taken in open session after each closed consultation. If the record shows only a closed-door item repeated verbatim with no open-session follow-up, you need the certified agenda now to evaluate whether the attorney-consultation exception cited was properly invoked before the file grows.

Context: The same executive session item concerning the pretrial hearing for the removal action of the mayor appears twice, on 2026-06-08 and 2026-06-09, with no recorded open-session outcome and no identified next procedural step.

Recommended: Ask the city secretary whether the June 8 special meeting was recessed, cancelled, or lost quorum, forcing an identical closed-session item to be re-posted for June 9 — and request the outside counsel engagement letter and billing records for the mayor removal pretrial hearing. Word-for-word repetition of a closed-session item on back-to-back days is the anomaly, and the answer disappears from staff memory once the litigation concludes.
