Summary
County Attorney Cynthia Mitchell requested an executive session under Colorado Revised Statutes §24-6-402(4)(b),(e),(a) to receive legal advice on pending litigation, an employment matter that may result in litigation, contract negotiations, and a potential lease; the board moved, seconded and voted to enter executive session.
County Attorney Cynthia Mitchell requested an executive session under Colorado law to allow the board to receive legal advice and to discuss negotiations and potential property matters.
Mitchell cited Colorado Revised Statutes section 24-6-402(4) and identified specific grounds: receiving legal advice regarding pending litigation in Uhernick v. Pueblo County; an employment matter that may result in litigation; discussions related to the Public Service Company’s Just Transition solicitation; and "developing strategy for negotiations, and or instructing negotiators" regarding a potential contract with Digital Heart Media, potential contracts related to marijuana excise-tax scholarships, and a potential agreement to lease a parking lot at Fourth Street and Santa Fe Avenue. She also cited the statutory exception authorizing discussion of the purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer or sale of real property regarding the same parking-lot lease.
The chair asked for a motion "to go into executive session for the reason cited." A motion and a second were recorded on the transcript; commissioners responded "aye," and the record shows the board then entered executive session.
On the record, the board approved entering executive session; the work session transcript shows no further public discussion while the board conducted the closed session.
