Summary
The board moved into executive session under Colorado statutes to receive legal advice and to discuss negotiation strategy on the county case Taylor v. Dimock and to address a Department of Human Services employment matter.
The Garfield County Board of Commissioners voted to adjourn to executive session under Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) sections 24-6-402(4)(b) and (e) to receive legal advice and to determine positions and strategies related to negotiations.
The two topics identified on the record were: (1) legal advice and negotiation strategy regarding the county case Taylor v. Dimock (Garfield County case number 24CV32), and (2) legal advice and positional strategy concerning an administrative employment action arising from the Department of Human Services. The board returned from executive session and confirmed for the record that no topics outside of those publicly noticed were discussed and that the board provided direction to negotiators; no additional public action was announced at the meeting’s close.
The board recorded an affirmative two-thirds vote to enter executive session and specified the statutory bases for confidentiality during the closed proceedings.
