Miss Mitchell requested that the board move into an executive session under Colorado Revised Statutes section 24-6-402(4)(b) to receive legal advice and to develop negotiation strategy and instruct negotiators on specific matters. Miss Mitchell said the topics included the county’s public comment policy, the terminated intergovernmental agreement with the city related to the regional building department, and strategy for negotiations on a contract for Runyon Field lighting.

A motion to enter executive session was made, seconded and the chair called for a voice vote; commissioners answered “aye,” and the board entered executive session.

The transcript records the request and the board’s unanimous voice vote to convene an executive session but does not include the names of the motion’s mover or seconder in the public record excerpt. The board returned to open session later (not included in this excerpt).
