12. MOTION TO CLOSE BOARD MEETING FOR ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE REGARDING THE HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS COURTS.
The next item on the agenda is a closed session that will allow the School Board to receive legal advice related to a lawsuit entitled “Independent School District No. 477, Princeton v. Midwest Asphalt..”  The Open Meeting Law, Minnesota Statute section 13D.05, subdivision 3(b), states that the School Board may close a meeting pursuant to the attorney-client privilege.  During the closed meeting, the School Board will discuss with its attorney the lawsuit the District filed and subsequent appeals.  The Board will discuss with its attorney the outcome of a recent appeal and how that ruling affects the District’s position, and strategy for responding to a petition for review and further proceedings.  There is a need for absolute confidentiality because the District’s position would be compromised if such discussions took place in public and could be overheard by other parties or their attorneys.  Accordingly, pursuant to the law I have cited, I will hereby entertain a motion that this meeting be closed pursuant to the attorney-client privilege.
