Washington County board votes unanimously to enter executive session on potential litigation
Summary
During its Dec. 16 work session, the Washington County Board of Commissioners voted 4-0 to adjourn to an executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(h) to discuss potential litigation; the public meeting was recessed with a business session to follow at approximately 10:00 a.m.
Chair Katherine Harrington asked for a motion to adjourn to an executive session "pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(h) for the purposes of discussing potential litigation." The chair moved the motion, it was seconded, and the board voted unanimously, 4 to 0, to enter executive session.
Harrington said the board would convene a business meeting at approximately 10:00 a.m. and reconvene the work session at 1:00 p.m. The transcript records the motion and the unanimous vote but does not disclose the substance of the litigation discussion; executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(h) permits the board to discuss litigation strategy in private.
Commissioner Snyder was noted as not present at the start of the work session. No further public details about the litigation were provided in the transcript.
