Members vote to enter executive session to discuss personnel and potential litigation

A presiding member asked the assembled members to move into an executive session to discuss "the character, professional competence, and pending or reasonably imminent litigation," and members approved the motion by roll call during agenda item 15.

The presiding member said, "I am seeking a motion that the board go into executive session for the purpose of discussing the character, professional competence, and pending or reasonably imminent litigation." Member Booth is recorded as making the motion; a second was recorded but the transcript does not identify who seconded it. The motion was then decided by roll call, with all recorded members voting yes.

Names recorded as voting yes in the roll call include Member Kelly; Member Booth; Member Riel; Member Lehi; Member Lehr; Member Carrie; Vice Chair Wood; Vice Chair Hart; Member Hall; Member Green; Member Earl; Member Brinton; Member Bollinger; and Member Bogus. The presiding member also announced a roughly seven-minute break while the meeting prepared to move into the executive session.

The transcript does not identify the full name of the presiding member or the formal name of the board, and it does not state any statutory citation or the specific legal basis cited for the closed-session authority. The record likewise does not show when the body returned from the executive session or any subsequent action taken after the session. No other substantive discussion or public comment on the agenda item is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
