After concluding the Board of Equalization business the Board of County Commissioners moved into two separate executive sessions during the July 30 meeting. The first executive session was convened under CRS 24-6-402(4)(b) to allow the county attorney to provide legal advice on questions related to TABOR (Taxpayer's Bill of Rights), the application of TABOR to proposed ballot language, and the board's budget authority as it relates to sheriff operations and staffing. The second executive session was convened under CRS 24-6-402(4)(f) to discuss personnel matters connected to the county's severance policy.

No written minutes were kept for the executive sessions and commissioners recorded that no decisions were made while in executive session, consistent with statutory executive-session rules. The board returned to the public meeting and concluded the agenda after the sessions.

Ending
The board noted the sessions were for advice and personnel discussion only; any actions requiring public vote or formal resolution would be brought back to a public meeting and recorded in the minutes.
