Board moves into closed session to discuss litigation strategy under Iowa Code
Summary
Polk County supervisors voted to enter a closed session to discuss strategy with counsel on matters in litigation or where litigation is imminent, citing Iowa Code § 21.5(1)(c).
The Polk County Board of Supervisors voted to go into closed session to discuss strategy with counsel on matters that are in litigation or where litigation is imminent, and for which disclosure would likely prejudice the county’s position, the board recorded.
The board cited Iowa Code § 21.5(1)(c) as the statutory basis for closing the public meeting. A motion to enter closed session was made, seconded and approved by roll call with all supervisors present voting yes. No substantive details from the closed-session discussion are recorded in the public transcript.
The board left open the expectation that any actions resulting from the closed session would be announced publicly if required by law once the matter permits disclosure.
