BOCC enters executive session and directs staff to continue negotiations with Winter Park URA on TIF
Summary
The Board entered executive session under CRS 24‑6‑402(4)(e) to develop negotiation strategy on the Winter Park Urban Renewal Authority tax‑increment financing and, on exit, directed the county manager and attorney to continue negotiations.
The Board voted to go into executive session at 10:18 a.m. under CRS 24‑6‑402(4)(e) to "determine positions relative to matters subject to negotiations, developing strategy for negotiations and instructing negotiators regarding the Winter Park Urban Renewal Authority." The session attendees were the three commissioners, the county manager, the assistant county manager and the county attorney.
The meeting returned from executive session at approximately 11:20 a.m. and the chair stated the board gave direction to the county manager and the county attorney to continue negotiations with the Winter Park Urban Renewal Authority specifically related to tax increment financing. No additional participants were added or removed during the session, and no public details of negotiation strategy were discussed in open session.
Why it matters: The direction permits staff to continue negotiating municipal financing terms that could affect tax increment revenues and local redevelopment funding. Executive‑session protections apply to strategy and negotiator instructions.
Next steps: County manager and county attorney will proceed with negotiations as authorized by the board; staff did not disclose further negotiation positions in open session.
