Mr. Thomson addressed the Council and made the following statement: "As you will recall, 1 met with you a week ago on October 7, 2002 to discuss various options with respect to the Metropolitan Council's decision on the ElkolNew Market interceptor. One of those options was the possibility of initiating litigation. You gave me direction to proceed further with that possibility; I have done so and am back before you today to discuss that option further. In my opinion, in order to give . you candid advice with respect to the strategies and tactics and possibility of such a lawsuit, the need for the public to be involved in that is outweighed by the need of privacy for me to be able to communicate my thoughts and opinions to you confidentially. Therefore, it is appropriate if you so choose to meet in a closed session to discuss this issue." 02.137 .Motion was made by Mulvihill, seconded by Luick, to recess to an Executive Session, which would be closed to the public.
