Douglas County commissioners enter executive session on litigation, legal advice and labor negotiations
Summary
After routine items and recognitions the Douglas County Board voted unanimously to go into executive session for litigation, legal advice and labor negotiations and adjourned at 10:57 a.m.
The Douglas County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Aug. 26 to enter an executive session to discuss litigation, receive legal advice and conduct labor-negotiation discussions.
Motion by Commissioner Morgan, second by Commissioner Rogers, passed on a roll call vote with six commissioners recorded as voting in favor. The board recessed for the executive session; when it reconvened later it approved a motion to adjourn and ended the public meeting at 10:57 a.m.
Why this matters: Executive sessions are authorized for confidential discussions on litigation strategy, attorney-client advice and labor negotiations. The board did not announce the content of the confidential items during the public meeting.
What was said: At the time of the motion the board chair noted the recess for Labor Day the following week and that the public meeting would resume after the recess as scheduled.
Procedure: The board announced the statutory purpose for going into executive session and recorded a unanimous vote authorizing the closed session; no further details were provided in open session.
