Commission holds brief executive session on state roads under attorney-client privilege

The Crawford County Commission recessed into a closed executive session for 10 minutes to consult with county counsel about State Road matters under attorney-client privilege and returned to open session without public action. Commission Chairman Carl (last name not provided) requested the executive session stating it pertained to state roads and involved attorney-client privilege. The motion specified participation by the three commissioners and county counsel. The board reconvened in open session and continued meeting business; the transcript records no formal vote or action resulting directly from the executive session. Why it matters: The commission invoked a standard legal privilege to discuss an issue involving State Road(s) with counsel in private; no public details of the discussion were disclosed in open session.
