Summary

Prosecutor Jason Loreen and Sheriff Brad Thurman asked the board to go into executive session to discuss potential contract negotiations with the humane society; the board held the session and later announced no action resulted.

Jason Loreen of the prosecutor’s office and Sheriff Brad Thurman asked the board to move into executive session to discuss a potential contract with the humane society. Loreen proposed starting with a 15‑minute session and said more time could be added if necessary. The board complied and recessed into executive session to discuss contract negotiations.

After the executive session and a brief extension, the board returned to open session and announced that no action had been taken on the matter. Commissioners thanked the presenters for their time. The meeting proceeded to other closing business and adjourned.

The transcript records the request for executive session and the board’s return, but it does not include details of the contract under discussion or any votes because those matters were discussed in executive session and no public action was recorded at the meeting.
