Kittitas County commissioners hold multiple executive sessions; no public action recorded
Summary
At a May 15 special meeting the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners entered several executive sessions under RCW 42.30.110 for personnel matters; the public minutes record no votes or other public action resulting from those sessions.
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners on May 15 announced and recessed into a series of executive sessions to discuss personnel matters under state law and recorded no public action.
At 1:03 p.m. Chairman Laura Osiadacz announced a 10-minute executive session with Clerk Julie Kjorsvik and HR Director Jeanne Killgore under RCW 42.30.110(q) to evaluate qualifications of applicants for public employment or to review employee performance; she cited RCW 42.30.140(4) and said that final personnel actions must be taken in public and that no public action was anticipated. The board reconvened at 1:13 p.m. and recorded that no action was taken.
The minutes show the board then recessed back into executive session with a second 10-minute recess announced at 1:13 p.m. under RCW 42.30.110(g). Later in the record the board again reconvened and announced a brief (five-minute) executive-session recess with the same personnel attendees. The transcript contains inconsistent or partially garbled time notations for one reconvening; the minutes consistently record that no public action resulted from these closed sessions.
The meeting ultimately adjourned in the minutes (adjournment entry listed at what the record indicates as 1:28 p.m.). The meeting record does not include motions, votes, or any formal public decisions tied to the executive sessions.
