the fly was wondering if Albert and Gwenn recused themselves from the close door session

The 3/25/2015 agenda posted on the Village website stated that the Council would discuss the Valley ligation in a closed session. The 64,000.00 dollar question would be ,did the Village Manager ask Mr. Rogers to tell Albert ,who has previously admitted a conflict  and Gwenn who despite overwhelming appearance to the contrary denies a conflict; to recuse themselves because of their previously mentioned conflict of interest with the hospital ? The presumption around town seems to be that they both attended and participated in the closed meeting . A fact which I am sure Mr Rogers vehemently objected to, not wanting anything to undermine that very lawsuit?
