Board moves into executive session to receive legal advice and discuss negotiations
Summary
County attorney requested an executive session to obtain legal advice on several matters and to develop negotiation strategy; the board moved, seconded and entered executive session.
County Attorney Cynthia Mitchell requested an executive session at the Feb. 25 meeting to receive legal advice and to develop negotiation strategy on several matters, and the board voted to go into executive session.
Mitchell asked the board to meet in executive session under statutory provisions cited in the request to receive legal advice on specific legal questions related to a potential illegal-gambling ordinance; potential litigation involving Greenview Trust and the Fountain Creek Watershed District; personnel policies concerning promotions, demotions, lateral transfers, bonuses and stipend pay adjustments; and to determine positions and instruct negotiators concerning a potential contract with Digital Heart Media, an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Ryde for road maintenance, and an agreement with the Ryan Sports Complex Commission.
Mitchell cited statutory authority in the request as cited in the meeting transcript. A motion to convene the executive session was made and seconded; those present responded in the affirmative and the board entered executive session.
Why it matters: Executive sessions are permitted to discuss privileged legal advice and negotiation strategy; the items listed include litigation and procurement/negotiation matters that could affect county legal and fiscal positions. The board did not disclose deliberations held in executive session.
Ending: The board entered executive session; no further public action was recorded on these items in the open meeting minutes from Feb. 25.
