KAMLOOPS — A few days after Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson filed a lawsuit against a city councillor, council has scheduled a special closed meeting.

The new meeting is on the City of Kamloops calendar for next Tuesday (June 20) at 8:30 a.m.

Stated subjects of the closed meeting are litigation or potential litigation facing the municipality, and the receipt of advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege.

On Monday (June 12), Hamer-Jackson filed a lawsuit against Councillor Katie Neustaeter, accusing her of defaming him. It’s not known if next Tuesday’s closed meeting directly relates to that legal action.
