A committee member moved that the Arapahoe County Board enter executive session to receive legal advice under Colorado law, and Commissioner Rhonda Fields seconded the motion.
The mover asked the board to act "pursuant to section 24-6-402(4)(b) of the Colorado Revised Statutes to receive legal advice regarding the following items," and then listed three topics: "Number 1, discuss potential fire ban ordinance. 2, discuss Centennial annexation, Potomac Park number 1 and 2. And 3, discuss settlement offer in the Crown Castle case." The language of the motion was taken from the meeting record.
Commissioner Rhonda Fields seconded the motion; the chair called for the ayes and the board voiced its support. The meeting record notes that Commissioner Assami was absent and excused for the vote to go into executive session.
The motion to move into executive session passed and the board proceeded to closed session for legal advice on those three items. No public deliberations or vote outcomes on the substantive topics were taken in open session during this meeting.
