Since Tuesday is Election Day, the Edmonds City Council will meet a day earlier than usual — on Monday, rather than Tuesday.

The council will meet in executive session starting at 5:15 p.m. regarding potential litigation. The council may take action as a result of the executive session meeting, according to the agenda sent by the city Friday.

At 5:45 p.m., the City Council will hold a reception in the Council Chambers for Jim Tarte, who has served as the city’s financial consultant while the city conducted a search for a permanent finance director.  At 6 p.m., the City Council will meet separately as committees in different meeting rooms in the Public Safety Complex, 250 5th Ave. N., with agendas as indicated below:
