Apple Valley Red-E-Mix, Inc., vs. City of Apple Valley litigation.

Graven to appeal the Court decision, dated September 17, 1981, in
the matter of Apple Valley Red-E-Mix, Inc., vs. City of Apple
Valley.
Mr. Graven stated that the Council had held a closed meeting, as permitted by law,
which began at 7:30 p.m. tonight. He said he had advised the Council at the be-
ginning of that meeting that if they discussed anything other than the matter of
the litigation, he would leave the room. He stated that they had not discussed any-
thing else and he advised them that their decision should be made at a public meeting.
Mr. Graven also said that any public discussion of what was discussed at the closed

matter.
