The council and any other city board or commission shall publicly report actions taken in closed session related to any litigation, and the roll call vote on such actions, unless the report would, in the written opinion of the city attorney for specifically stated reasons, clearly jeopardize the city's ability to effectuate service of process on one or more unserved parties, impair the city's ability to resolve the matter through negotiation, mediation or other form of settlement, or expose the city to potential liability or litigation. Notwithstanding the city attorney's written opinion, the council may under any circumstance, by majority vote, determine that it is in the city's best interests to disclose actions taken in closed session related to litigation. The public report shall be given as soon as possible, but no later than the next regular meeting, and shall include the vote or abstention of every member present. The city attorney's written opinion shall be made public, along with any action taken and any vote thereon, as soon as any litigation is concluded.
