Humboldt County schedules canvass, sets next meeting and plans executive session under Iowa law
Summary
Supervisors set their next meeting to Nov. 13 at 8:30 a.m. to canvass election results and approve claims, and the board moved to go into a closed executive session citing Iowa Code 21.5(c) to discuss litigation strategy.
Humboldt County supervisors set their next meeting for Nov. 13 at 8:30 a.m. to canvass votes, approve claims and address other routine business. The board recorded motions to set that date and time and approved them by voice vote.
Later in the meeting a board member moved to convene an executive session, citing Iowa Code 21.5(c) to discuss strategy with counsel on matters presently in litigation; the citation was placed on the record as the legal basis for the closed session. The transcript shows the board moved to go into a "post session" and then recorded the statutory citation for the executive session item.
The scheduling discussion also referenced that the county courthouse is closed on the Monday in question for Veterans Day observance and that the board had to plan the canvass for an afternoon slot if mail returns required later processing; staff and members agreed on the Nov. 13 morning time as workable for the canvass.
Motions to schedule the meeting and to proceed to a closed session were made on the record; individual roll-call vote names were not specified in the transcript, but the board recorded approval via voice vote.
