Franklin County commissioners recess to executive session to discuss potential litigation
Summary
The board recessed into a 15-minute executive session to discuss potential litigation, citing an RCW citation read aloud in the meeting; the session was extended and the meeting later reconvened and adjourned.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners recessed into an executive session to consult on potential litigation and later extended that session before reconvening and adjourning.
Chair (Unidentified Speaker 2) announced the need for an executive session and recessed the meeting. Mr. Danzel (Unidentified Speaker 5), identified in the record as the county administrator, told the board they needed a 15-minute executive session "for potential litigation" and asked for the RCW citation. A speaker on the record read the citation as "4231101 I." The chair stated the meeting would reconvene at 09:20.
When the board briefly reconvened, Unidentified Speaker 6 announced the commissioners would extend the executive session by an additional 10 minutes under the same RCW, saying they would return at 09:31. After those deliberations, the chair reconvened the public meeting and adjourned the session; no substantive motions or votes related to litigation were taken in public at the meeting.
Because executive sessions are closed, the record in the transcript does not disclose details of the litigation under discussion; the meeting transcript contains the session length and the RCW citation as read aloud.
