Island County commissioners add closed-door session on real estate, approve consent agenda
Summary
The Island County Board of Commissioners approved an amended agenda to add a 1:00 p.m. executive session to discuss real estate sale, purchase or lease, then approved the consent agenda; the board recessed into a closed session later for the planned discussion.
The Island County Board of Commissioners voted to amend its Feb. 10 agenda to add an executive session at 1:00 p.m. to discuss "real estate sale, purchase, or lease if a likelihood that disclosure would increase price," citing state open‑meetings authority.
Commissioner St. Clair moved to approve the amended agenda; the motion was seconded by the Chair and approved by voice vote. The Chair read the statutory basis for the closed session and announced the board would reconvene in the Administration Building, Room 116, and expected the executive session to last until about 1:30 p.m. The clerk later announced a 15‑minute extension, moving the end time to 1:45 p.m., after which the board exited the session and adjourned without a public announcement.
Earlier in the meeting Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the consent agenda; Commissioner St. Clair seconded and the board approved it by voice vote. The board noted there were no regular agenda items or public hearings for the Feb. 10 meeting, and that most county offices would be closed on Presidents' Day (Feb. 16).
No details of the executive‑session discussion or any votes taken in closed session were announced publicly at the meeting's close.
The meeting record shows the board followed the statutory process for holding a closed session on real estate matters and moved forward with routine consent business before recessing into the executive session.
