Hocking County commissioners approve routine items and move into executive session on sheriff’s collective bargaining
Summary
At its Jan. 22 meeting, Hocking County commissioners approved the minutes, bills and agenda, then voted to enter an executive session to discuss collective bargaining with the sheriff’s office; no bargaining details were discussed in the public record.
A county commissioner called the Hocking County commissioners’ meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 22 and said all three commissioners were present.
The board approved the previous meeting’s minutes after a motion and second. The board also approved payment of bills and the meeting agenda; each motion was seconded and carried with an "Aye" from the commissioners. "We have all 3 commissioners in attendance," the meeting speaker said before the group proceeded with the pledge of allegiance.
Later in the opening business, the speaker announced that the board would hold a closed session with the sheriff’s office "over collective bargaining." The speaker requested "a motion to move into executive session," which was made and seconded; a roll call produced three affirmative votes. The chair then stated, "We are now on executive session." The public portion of the record contains no further discussion of bargaining terms or related details.
The meeting record indicates no other substantive public actions or policy discussions before the transition into executive session. The transcript ends shortly after the board entered the closed session.
