Whatcom County Council Committee of the Whole - Executive Session
The Whatcom County Council Committee of the Whole convened a brief 20-minute executive session Tuesday morning to discuss pending litigation with their attorneys regarding a legal challenge to an initiative aimed at repealing the Healthy Children's Fund tax levy. The closed-door meeting was attended by six of seven council members and two county attorneys. The executive session was called under RCW 42.30.110(1)(i), which permits closed meetings to discuss pending litigation. No public action was taken during the session, and the meeting concluded without any motions or votes on the matter discussed. The session's brevity and the specific legal authority cited suggest this was likely a routine legal briefing to keep council members informed about litigation strategy or developments in the case challenging the initiative to repeal the children's health tax levy.
