Members vote to enter executive session to discuss litigation, personnel, property and procurement

Members present voted to enter an executive session at the meeting to discuss potential personnel matters, pending or imminent litigation, proposed real-property transactions (including water rights or shares), security deployments, alleged criminal-conduct investigations, ethics complaints and procurement deliberations, the public record shows. The motion to move into the executive session was made on the floor; the transcript records one member saying “So moved” and another saying “It’s seconded,” though the recording does not identify the mover by full name. A roll-call vote followed, with multiple members recorded as voting yes. Member Bollinger said “Yes,” as did Member Brenton, Member Hall, Member Kelly, Member Carrie, Member Bridal and Member Wood during the roll call. Member Booth’s response is recorded as “Yeah.” Several members who were asked during the roll call (Member Boggess, Member Davis, Member Earl, Member Green and Member Longacre) do not have clearly recorded responses in the transcript excerpt provided. The motion was approved and the meeting moved into closed session. The motion as read on the record listed the permitted topics for the executive session in detail: a person’s character, competence or health; pending or imminent litigation; certain matters regarding the acquisition or sale of real property, including water rights or shares; deployment of security personnel, devices or systems; investigation of alleged criminal conduct or receipt or review of an ethics complaint when the public body is the independent legislative ethics commission; certain matters under the jurisdiction of a legislative ethics committee; and deliberations and decision-making related to the procurement process. The transcript does not identify the specific statutory citation authorizing the executive session. The record does not identify the governing body by name, the meeting date, or the identities of the motion maker and seconder beyond the brief remarks captured in the transcript. The available transcript covers roughly 1.5 minutes of proceedings on this item, focused on the motion and the roll-call vote. The public portion of the meeting concluded with the body moving into the closed session as approved on the roll call.
