Commissioners vote to enter executive session to receive legal advice under C.R.S. 24-6-402
Summary
The board voted unanimously to adjourn its public meeting and enter an executive session to receive legal advice from counsel, citing attorney-client privilege and noting that no minutes or reporting would be kept.
The Dolores County Board of County Commissioners voted to adjourn its public meeting and enter an executive session to receive legal advice from county counsel, citing Colorado law on attorney-client privilege.
A commissioner asked the board to move "pursuant to" the relevant Colorado statute and to receive legal advice from counsel; the motion was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The transcript records the citation as "CRS 246-402," which the board referenced when describing the attorney-client privilege; the correct statutory citation for Colorado's open meetings/executive-session statute is C.R.S. 24-6-402.
The chair stated that attorney-client privilege would apply and that no minutes or reporting would be kept for the executive session. The board then recessed the public meeting and proceeded to the closed session.
No public details of the legal advice were disclosed in the record, and the transcript shows no other public action on the subject before the executive session.
