Commissioners move to executive session on CCCAP funding, negotiations and legal advice
Summary
The board voted unanimously to enter an executive session under Colorado statute to receive legal advice and develop negotiation strategy regarding Colorado Department of Human Services funding allocation for the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCCAP) and related memorandum of understanding.
The Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to convene an executive session under Colorado law to receive legal advice and develop negotiation strategy concerning Colorado Department of Human Services funding allocations to the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCCAP), the memorandum of understanding regarding CCCAP, and resulting impacts on El Paso County and program recipients.
On the record, the chair referenced Colorado Revised Statutes authority for the executive session (C.R.S. 24-6-402(4)(b) and (e)) and named Kenneth Hodges, county attorney, and Stacy Quittick, executive director of the Department of Human Services, as the county staff who would participate in the closed session. A motion to go into executive session was moved and seconded; roll-call approval was 5-0 (Cammie Bremer — aye; Bill Wysong — aye; Corey Applegate — aye; Holly Williams — aye; Carrie Geithner — aye).
Why it matters: Commissioners said they needed legal advice and negotiation strategy on state funding allocations that could affect county administration of CCCAP and recipients. No substantive legal advice or negotiation positions were disclosed in open session; the board moved to a closed session for those discussions.
The meeting record shows the board entered executive session immediately after the motion and roll call. No public details from the closed session were read back into the public record during the portion of the transcript provided.
