Board holds executive session on potential litigation; Chair says no decision announced
Summary
Pacific County commissioners entered an executive session July 16 to discuss litigation or potential litigation under RCW 42.30.110; after reconvening the Chair said there was no decision at this time.
At the July 16 special meeting the Chair announced the board would meet in executive session for the purpose of litigation or potential litigation as provided by RCW 42.30.110, estimating a 30-minute session beginning about 2:02 p.m. The Chair invited the public to return after the session.
When the board reconvened, the Chair said the executive session had "ended at 02:16" and that "there was no decision for me at this time," and then adjourned the meeting. The transcript contains an internal timing inconsistency: the Chair estimated a 30-minute executive session (returning about 2:32 p.m.) but later stated the session ended at 2:16 p.m. The record does not identify participants in the executive session or any substantive outcome.
Because executive sessions for litigation are statutorily confidential under RCW 42.30.110, the transcript reports the convening and the Chair'9s statement that no decision was reached, but does not record discussion or actions taken during the closed session.
