The La Paz County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 6 convened an executive session under Arizona Revised Statutes §38-431.03(A)(3) for legal advice about Planet Ranch Road. Following the closed session, the board returned to open session and authorized the county attorney and staff to take action as instructed in executive session.

The board voted to enter the executive session and later to authorize staff action; the meeting transcript records motions and voice votes but does not record the substance of legal advice or the specific actions authorized because they were discussed in closed session. Board members said they did not know whether further public action would be required when they recessed for the executive session and estimated the closed session would last roughly 30 minutes.

Because the discussion occurred in executive session, the public record here does not include legal advice, options discussed in closed session, or the specific steps the attorney and staff were directed to take.
