Lake County commissioners enter executive session over Alpenflow variance application; no decisions made
Summary
At a March 4 special meeting, the Lake County Board of Commissioners voted to enter an attorney–client executive session under C.R.S. § 24-6-402(4)(b) to receive legal advice on an Alpenflow variance application. They exited at 9:28 a.m. with no decisions and adjourned at 9:30 a.m.
The Lake County Board of Commissioners voted to go into an attorney–client executive session at 8:26 a.m. Wednesday to receive legal advice about an Alpenflow variance application, then exited the session at 9:28 a.m. and adjourned at 9:30 a.m., the meeting record shows.
“Commissioner Bullock moved to enter into executive session,” the transcript records. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Andrew Lee and both commissioners voted in favor. The Board cited C.R.S. § 24-6-402(4)(b) as the statutory authority for the closed session.
The purpose recorded for the executive session was to receive legal advice from the county attorney regarding the legal standards and risks associated with the Alpenflow variance application. County Attorney Matt Hobbs and County Manager Candance Bryans were listed among those present for the session, as were Deputy Clerk Andrew Higby and Tracey Lauritzen; the transcript does not state Lauritzen’s role.
The record states the Board came out of executive session at 9:28 a.m. and that “no decisions were made in executive session.” The transcript also notes that the topics discussed were subject to attorney–client privilege and were not recorded. With no further business, Commissioner Matthew Bullock adjourned the meeting at 9:30 a.m.
The transcript does not report any formal votes or actions on the Alpenflow variance application during the public portion of the meeting, nor does it disclose the substance of the legal advice given in executive session.
