Biloxi Council briefing on ongoing legal issues

The Biloxi City Council will conduct a rare executive session, closed to the public, at a point during its meeting on Tuesday afternoon to discuss ongoing legal issues associated with the Golden Nugget Casino rent money.
City Attorney Peter Abide has placed a measure on the agenda seeking the closed session to brief council members on the pending litigation with the state involving rent funds the state owes the city and potential issues with CSX Railway.
The state’s open meeting laws allows public bodies to enter into executive or closed session to discuss legal strategy. If any votes are taken in executive session they must be reported when the council returns from executive session.
