The Stark County Board of Commissioners recessed into executive session twice during its March 4 meeting to address legal and economic-development matters.

At 2:46 p.m. the board entered a second executive session under Ohio Revised Code §121.22(G)(8) to consider confidential information related to a request from another political subdivision concerning economic development. The roll-call vote to enter that session recorded Commissioners Richard Regula and Bill Smith voting yes and Commissioner Alan Harold abstaining; the record notes the motion carried and the board left the session at 3:31 p.m.
