Rio Blanco County’s governing body approved its Jan. 20, 2026, agenda and moved into executive session to conduct personnel interviews for the county’s emergency manager position, members said during the meeting.
Speaker 2 moved that the body enter executive session “pursuant to CRS 24-6-402(4)(f) for discussion of personnel matters regarding interviews for the emergency manager position,” and Speaker 1 seconded the motion. A roll call recorded affirmative responses during the vote. The chair called the executive session to begin at about 11:35 a.m.
The body recessed the open meeting for the purpose of continuing those personnel discussions, with Speaker 2 moving to recess until 3:00 p.m. to continue interviews; Speaker 1 seconded. Attendees confirmed reconvening plans and technical/logistical arrangements to resume the executive session later in the day.
After reconvening in the afternoon, Speaker 2 moved to exit executive session and return to public meeting; Speaker 1 seconded and a roll call recorded affirmative responses. Speaker 2 then moved to adjourn the public meeting, Speaker 1 seconded, and the meeting was concluded. The transcript contains partial roll-call readings and some responses are unclear in places; the public record in the transcript shows roll-call confirmations (recorded as "Aye") but does not provide a full, unambiguous tally for every motion.
No substantive policy discussion, public comment, or decisions on ordinances, budgets, or contracts occurred in open session during the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.
