Board votes to enter executive session to instruct negotiators on draft IGA with Aurora for domestic violence prosecution funding
Summary
A motion to enter executive session under Colorado statute to instruct negotiators on a draft intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between Arapahoe County and the City of Aurora concerning funding for prosecution of domestic violence cases was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; Commissioner Sumi was absent and excused.
The Board of County Commissioners approved a motion to enter executive session to "instruct negotiators regarding a draft IGA between Arapahoe County and Aurora concerning funding for the prosecution of domestic violence cases," citing Section 24-6-402(4)(e) of the Colorado Revised Statutes.
The motion was moved and seconded during the study session; presiding commissioners indicated the motion carried on a voice vote with "aye" from the board. For the record, Commissioner Sumi was absent and excused, the meeting transcript shows. The board then recessed into executive session.
Why it matters: The cited statute authorizes executive sessions for the purpose of giving instructions to negotiators on a matter involving the county's position in collective bargaining or in contract negotiations and similar confidential deliberations. The transcript records the motion text and the board's voice approval but does not record a roll-call tally with individual votes.
Ending: The board went into executive session as announced; further public details of the IGA or negotiations were not discussed in the public portion of the meeting.
