Commissioner moves to enter closed session to discuss labor negotiations under Iowa Code 20.173; vote outcome not recorded in transcript
Summary
A commissioner moved to go into closed session pursuant to "Iowa Code 20.173" for discussion and decision on labor negotiations and collective bargaining; the board asked for a roll call but the transcript does not record the vote result.
A commissioner moved to go into closed session “pursuant to Iowa code 20.173 for discussion decision on labor negotiations, collective bargaining,” citing the statutory authority on the record.
The chair asked the county clerk (Becky) to conduct a roll call. The transcript records the motion and the clerk being asked to call the roll but does not record the roll-call responses or the motion’s final outcome.
Because the transcript ends before a vote tally is reported, the meeting record in the transcript does not show whether the board entered closed session. The board’s stated authority for a closed session was listed in the meeting audio as “Iowa code 20.173.”
Next steps: The clerk and chair proceeded with the roll-call procedure on the record; any formal closed-session vote or action is not captured in the provided transcript excerpt and should be verified in the official minutes or audio file.
