The Sysco County Board of Supervisors completed roll call and announced it would go into a closed session at the start of its meeting; the transcript does not state a reason for the closed session.
The announcement came after the clerk called the roll. Supervisor Valenzuela, Supervisor Howe, Supervisor Harris, Supervisor Kopsak and Supervisor Ocren each responded present during roll call. A staff member told the room, "We are now gonna go into closed session." The transcript contains no motion or recorded vote related to the closed session and does not state when the public meeting would reconvene.
Why it matters: closed sessions are used for matters exempt from public disclosure under state law. The board did not record or announce the subject of the closed session in the provided transcript, so the public record here does not identify the legal basis or topic for the nonpublic meeting.
Details: The transcript shows the roll call and the announcement of the closed session only; no deliberations, motions, votes, or return-to-open-meeting statements appear in the supplied transcript. The number of supervisors who responded during roll call was five. The transcript does not specify the meeting date, the length of the closed session, or any follow-up actions.
