Siskiyou County authorizes legal defense in two lawsuits after closed session
Summary
After closed session the Board authorized County Counsel to defend Raimi Naegle v. Siskiyou County (Klamath Circuit Court) and John Doe J.C. v. Progress House, Inc. (Siskiyou County Superior Court), and to use Porter Scott staff as outside counsel to assist.
The Board met in closed session May 5 to discuss existing and anticipated litigation under Government Code §54956.9. County Counsel F. Dean Morgan announced that the Board authorized the County to defend itself in Raimi Naegle v. Siskiyou County (Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, County of Klamath, Case No. 26CV16646) and in John Doe J.C. v. Progress House, Inc. (Siskiyou County Superior Court, Case No. 26CV05543). The Board also authorized County Counsel to use Porter Scott staff as outside counsel to assist in both matters.
Mr. Morgan reported the actions were approved by motions made in open session after the closed‑session deliberations; the minutes record the Board’s authorization but do not provide further details about strategy, settlement authority, or cost estimates.
