Deschutes County commissioners approve consent agenda; announce executive sessions for labor negotiations and anticipated litigation
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda by general assent and announced two executive sessions under ORS 192.660(2)(d) and (h) covering labor negotiations and anticipated litigation; one labor item involves the county's 911 governing body.
The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda and then announced two executive sessions at the Jan. 15 meeting.
A motion to approve the consent agenda was made, seconded and passed by general assent. Commissioner Chang said "Yes," and the chair said they would also vote yes; the transcript does not record names for the motion maker and seconder.
Later in the meeting the board convened executive session under Oregon Revised Statutes 192.660 subsections (2)(d) and (2)(h) to discuss labor negotiations and anticipated litigation. The board specifically noted that one of the labor negotiations subjects will be considered with the board acting as the governing body of Deschutes County 911. The announcement stated that designated staff and media may remain, but the media may only report that the board met and the statutory basis for the executive session; recording devices were prohibited. The announcement also stated that no final decisions would be made in executive session and the board would reopen the meeting and inform the public when it concluded.
The transcript records the board moving into two executive sessions; no further public outcome or a roll-call vote on matters discussed in executive session was recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
