Columbia County board moves into executive session for labor negotiations and HR records
Summary
The Columbia County Board of Commissioners entered executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(d) for labor negotiations and ORS 192.660(2)(f) to consider personnel records exempt from public inspection; media and designated staff were allowed to attend but not report deliberations.
At the end of the public agenda, the Columbia County Board of Commissioners announced it would move into executive session citing ORS 192.660(2)(d) to conduct labor-negotiation deliberations and ORS 192.660(2)(f) to consider personnel records exempt from public inspection.
The board’s chair told attendees that representatives of the news media and designated staff may remain for the executive session but that “representatives of the news media are specifically directed not to report on or otherwise disclose any of the deliberations or anything said about these subjects during the executive session except to state the general subject of the session as previously announced.” The chair also said, “No decision may be made in executive session.”
The public was asked to leave the room or virtual meeting for the executive session; the board said it would return to open session and welcome the audience back at the conclusion of the closed meeting. The transcript does not record deliberations held in executive session or any subsequent public action.
