Clear Creek commissioners enter executive session for legal advice on lodging-tax ballot question
Summary
The board voted to move into executive session to receive legal advice from the county attorney about legal questions related to House Bill 47 and a possible county lodging-tax expansion and ballot measure; the board said no written minutes would be taken and returned to regular session without decisions made.
The Clear Creek Board of County Commissioners moved into executive session to receive legal advice from the county attorney about legal questions the board identified as pertaining to House Bill 47 and a possible county lodging-tax expansion or ballot measure.
On the record, the chair moved that the board confer with the county attorney "for the purpose of receiving legal advice on specific legal questions pertaining to House Bill 47, county lodging tax expansion and pursuing a ballot measure," citing the Colorado statute referenced in the meeting transcript (quoted there as "CRS 246 40 24 B"). The chair told the board no written minutes would be taken for the closed session and that no decisions would be made while in executive session. The motion passed by voice vote and the board convened a separate, closed Zoom for the executive session.
After the closed session the board returned to the public meeting and confirmed that no decisions were made and no minutes were kept for the executive session. The board then resumed the regular session and adjourned.
The transcript records the substance of the stated purpose (legal advice related to lodging-tax questions and potential negotiations) and the procedural points (statute cited; no minutes; no decisions in session). The meeting did not disclose the county attorney's advice on the public record.
