Island County commissioners add executive session, approve agenda and consent items
Summary
The board approved an amended agenda that added an executive session under RCW 42.30.110(1)(g) to discuss qualifications of an applicant for public employment, approved the consent agenda, then entered executive session at 10:45 a.m. and adjourned after an extension to 11:15 a.m.
A board member moved on Jan. 20 to add an executive session at 10:45 a.m. under RCW 42.30.110(1)(g) to discuss qualifications of an applicant for public employment; the motion was seconded and the amended agenda was approved by voice vote.
The board then approved the consent agenda by voice vote. The chair announced there were no regular agenda items or public hearings on the day's agenda, and noted next Tuesday's meeting will be held on Camano Island where the board will take public comment on a speed study but will take no action.
At 10:45 a.m. staff announced the board had entered executive session under RCW 42.30.110(1)(g); the session was expected to last until 11:00 a.m. with no announcement expected. The chair requested a 15-minute extension, and staff later announced the board had adjourned following executive session at about 11:15 a.m.
What happened procedurally: The record shows motions to approve the agenda as amended and to approve the consent agenda; the meeting then recessed to a closed executive session permitted under state open-meetings law to discuss an applicant's qualifications. No substantive policy votes or ordinance actions were taken in open session during this meeting.
