Cochise County supervisors enter executive session, return with no action and adjourn
Summary
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting Aug. 27, voted to go into executive session citing an Arizona statute as read aloud in the meeting, returned with "no additional action" and adjourned at 10:31 a.m.
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors met in a special session Wednesday, Aug. 27, and voted to go into executive session after an unnamed board member read aloud a statutory citation as the basis for the closed session. The board returned from executive session with “no additional action” and adjourned at 10:31 a.m.
The meeting began in the Supervisor's Executive Conference Room on Melody Lane with a roll call. Supervisor Crosby of District 1 was absent, the presiding official said, due to a conflict of interest. Supervisor Gomez (District 2) and Supervisor Antonari (District 3) were present in person.
An unnamed board member moved “that we go into executive session as authorized under ARS 38 dash 4 3 1 dot o 3 subsection a 3 and 4,” and the presiding supervisor seconded the motion. The presiding supervisor then called for the vote; members present responded “Aye,” and the board entered executive session. Those noted present at the start included Clerk of the Board Laura Longarm and staff members Joe Casey, Sharon Gilman and Paul Correa. The meeting record also referenced an online participant identified in the transcript as “Mr. Russe.”
After returning from executive session, the presiding supervisor stated, “It is 10:31, and, there will be no additional action.” The board then adjourned. The board also noted at the outset that, under Arizona law as stated at the meeting, minutes and discussions in executive session are to be kept confidential.
No substantive public actions, votes on ordinances or resolutions, or directions for staff were reported in the public record during the special meeting; the only formal action recorded in the transcript was the motion to convene the executive session and its passage.
The meeting was convened specifically as a special board meeting and included the possibility of an executive session; the transcript does not specify the subject matter discussed in executive session, nor does it list any follow-up tasks or public outcomes arising from that closed session.
