The Board of County Commissioners of Boulder County on July 1 authorized two executive sessions, both scheduled for Wednesday, July 2, 2025, to discuss real property matters and mineral rights under Colorado's open‑meetings statute.
Deputy Natalie Sprant told the board she was "here to request authorization for the board of county commissioners to go into executive session Wednesday, 07/02/2025 at 10AM with county attorney Ben Pearlman pursuant to CRS 24 dash 6 dash 4 0 2 subsection for a real property issues regarding the potential acquisition of a property North Of Hygiene, a property South Of Lyons, and a potential open space property exchanges with a municipality within Boulder County." Later she requested a second executive session at "1PM ... pursuant to CRS 24 Dash 6 Dash 4 0 2 4 a" to discuss mineral rights associated with a property half a mile north of Oxford Road and just west of East County Line Road.
The board moved, seconded and approved both requests by voice vote; the clerk recorded "all in favor. Aye." No substantive discussion of the specific parcels, purchase terms, or parties was held in open session. The actions authorized confidential executive sessions under Colorado Revised Statutes section 24-6-402.
The transcript does not record any votes or decisions arising from the executive sessions themselves; the authorization in open session was limited to convening closed meetings for privileged legal and negotiation discussions as allowed by statute.
