The Board of Supervisors held a special meeting and went into closed session on one item; after the closed session the board returned with "no reportable action," Chair (unnamed on the record) announced. Dolores Lucero used the meeting's public comment period to call for greater disclosure of closed-session business, and Council Larimer explained the legal basis for calling a special meeting on an urgent matter.

During public comment, Dolores Lucero criticized holding business outside public view. "I'm amazed that that you're having a special meeting that it could have been put on the agenda for Tuesday. I hope this is not regarding, whatever closed session you had Tuesday. If it is, I think you should have done that then," Lucero said. She added, "nothing that you do in business should be behind closed doors, period," and said citizens "are the boss" and deserved disclosure of the board's deliberations.

Council Larimer, speaking during the meeting, characterized the session as an urgent matter rather than an emergency and described the procedural notice standard the board followed: "Oh, so so first of all, I I wouldn't say it's it's an it's not an emergency meeting. It's an urgent matter, which means, you you would put it on a special meeting, 24 hours of notice or more. And when a quorum of the board is available at the next possible moment after the 24 hour period, you can hold a a special meeting to deal with the matter that needs to be dealt with." Council Larimer also confirmed that a quorum must be available before holding such a special meeting.

Chair (unnamed on the record) recessed the open meeting into closed session, then reconvened and asked Council Larimer whether any reportable action was required. Council Larimer responded: "Mister chairman, 1 item was heard in closed session. There is no reportable action." The chair then adjourned the special meeting.

The meeting record shows one public commenter signed up for R1. The transcript does not specify the closed-session subject matter or identify any motions, votes, or orders arising from the closed session; the board stated explicitly that there was no reportable action. The meeting included brief discussion among supervisors about whether the special meeting notice and scheduling had been understood and publicized; Supervisor Plummer was referenced as having told staff he was out of town and that the scheduling process was understood, but Plummer did not speak on the record at the special meeting.

This article summarizes what was audible in the public portions of the special meeting and the official statement on reconvening; it does not report on the contents of the closed session, which were not disclosed during the public record.

The board's next routinely scheduled meeting and any subsequent public items related to this closed-session matter were not stated on the record during the special meeting.
