Clay County commissioners hold emergency meeting, move into closed session to discuss pending litigation
Summary
Clay County commissioners met in an emergency session on May 11, 2026, approved the agenda and moved into a closed session to discuss pending litigation under Minnesota Statutes §13D.05, subd. 3(b). The board later returned to open session and adjourned, scheduling the next regular meeting for 08:30 the following day.
The Clay County Board of Commissioners convened an emergency meeting at 8:30 a.m. on May 11, 2026, and approved the meeting agenda after a motion by Commissioner Ebinger and a second from Commissioner Bair.
The chair then announced item two on the agenda: a closed session to discuss pending litigation under Minnesota Statutes §13D.05, subd. 3(b), which covers attorney–client privileged communications. Commissioner Ebinger moved to enter the closed session and Commissioner Bair seconded; the board voted aloud (members responded “Aye”) and the chair declared the motion carried.
After the closed session, Commissioner Ebinger moved to return the meeting to open session, with Commissioner Bair seconding. The board again voted aloud (responses recorded as “Aye”), and the chair declared the motion carried.
The chair said the board had covered all items on the emergency agenda, announced a regularly scheduled board meeting at 8:30 a.m. the next day, and adjourned the emergency session.
The transcript records the motions, the seconder, and that members vocalized “Aye” and that the chair declared motions carried; it does not enumerate individual vote tallies or record the names of every voter. The transcript also does not specify the meeting location.
