The Cochise County Board of Supervisors voted Thursday to enter an executive session to discuss an open-meeting-law matter, citing Arizona Revised Statutes §38-431.03(A)(3). The special meeting began in the Supervisors Executive Conference Room in Bisbee; the board entered executive session at 11:40 a.m. and reconvened at 12:29 p.m.

Speaker 2 moved that the board "go in executive session as authorized under ARS 38-431.03(A)(3) to discuss issues regarding open meeting," and Speaker 1 seconded. Speaker 1 called for a voice vote; three "Aye" responses were recorded and the motion carried. No public record of the executive-session discussion was offered in the transcript, and Speaker 1 reminded attendees that executive-session minutes and discussion are confidential.

Before recessing to executive session, the board confirmed attendees and staff who would participate. Speaker 1 named the deputy attorney for the civil division, spoken as 'Correa' with 'Whitehead' stated immediately thereafter in the transcript; the transcript also lists 'Dylan Haendel,' 'Miss Gilman,' 'Joe Casey,' 'Laura Lowenheim,' and a supervisor named 'Stoker.' The roll call recorded 'District 1, Crosby' and 'District 3, Anne Snowy' as present; District 2's name is not clearly stated in the transcript.

After returning from executive session at 12:29 p.m., Speaker 1 announced the next meeting would be at 1:00 p.m. in the main boardroom and adjourned the special session. The transcript does not record any formal actions taken during the executive session or any public findings arising from it.
