The Port Angeles City Council held a special meeting on January 27, 2026, for the sole purpose of conducting an executive session to discuss potential litigation with legal counsel. The meeting was brief and procedural, lasting approximately 1.5 hours total with no public business conducted. Mayor Dexter was under the weather and joined the executive session virtually, while other council members met in person. The meeting was conducted as a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and remote participation, though the executive session itself was closed to the public. The executive session was initially scheduled for one hour but was extended by 30 minutes. Upon conclusion of the closed session, the council immediately adjourned the special meeting without returning to public session for any additional business. #
