Dan, identified in the meeting record as the speaker raising the issue, told the council and commissioners that a multi-agency meeting with probation, mental-health partners and others raised urgent concerns about courthouse security tied to a forthcoming project. He said specifics were not appropriate for a public meeting and asked the bodies to set a joint executive session so he could present options and cost estimates.

"I don't wanna talk about my security in a public meeting," Dan said, asking for a closed meeting possibly on a Friday or before the next regular meeting on Feb. 10. Staff agreed to advertise a joint executive session and coordinate timing; Angie was asked to handle public notice. Dan requested enough lead time to gather information and suggested starting at 7:30 a.m. or earlier the day of the meeting so commissioners and councilors could attend prior to the regular session.

The presenter also said he would provide additional details in the executive session and intends to return with specific recommendations; several members expressed support for coordinating a date and ensuring proper advertisement of an executive session for security reasons. No public details of the security concerns were discussed in the open record.
