Board votes to enter executive session to discuss potential litigation
Summary
At the end of the April 22 work session the Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to adjourn into executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(h) to discuss potential litigation.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on April 22 to adjourn into executive session to discuss potential litigation under Oregon law.
At the close of the public work session, the chair asked for a motion to adjourn into executive session “pursuant to ORS 192.660 sub 2 sub h for the purposes of discussing potential litigation.” A motion to move into executive session was made and the clerk recorded the vote as 5–0 in favor.
The transcript records the board’s unanimous 5–0 vote but does not identify the motion’s mover or provide further public detail about the subject of the litigation. The board recessed to executive session immediately after the vote.
Outlook: No public details about the subject matter of the executive session were disclosed during the public meeting; state law allows the board to discuss litigation in closed session.
