Clallam County commissioners enter executive session on real estate and direct further investigation

The Clallam County Board of Commissioners held a special meeting and recessed into an executive session to discuss the purchase or sale of real estate, approving a 30-minute session by voice vote and later directing staff to continue investigating the opportunities discussed.

Commissioner Mike French, Commissioner Mark Ozias and Commissioner Bridal Johnson attended the special meeting along with Administrator Todd Doheny; Steve Curry (public courts); Mark Wayne, chief financial officer; Olivia Capps (right of way); and Jay Reno, civil deputy prosecutor. The commissioners moved to enter an executive session "for a period of 30 minutes," and the board approved the recess by voice vote, with three ayes recorded on the public audio.

The board indicated it would be "back on the record at 02:00" and subsequently returned from the executive session. After returning, commissioners discussed continuing work on the subject and agreed that staff should "continue to further investigate the real estate opportunities described today." The transcript records agreement but does not show a formal roll-call vote or additional details about the properties, purchase price, negotiation parameters, or timelines. No specific properties or transaction terms were disclosed in the public remarks recorded.

The special meeting concluded shortly after the direction to continue investigations; attendees thanked one another and the session ended. The public record in the provided transcript does not include a formal motion with a recorded roll-call for the post-session direction or any supporting materials distributed during the executive session.
