Monterey County supervisors recess to closed session for executive evaluations; no reportable action expected

The Monterey County Board of Supervisors convened a special meeting to conduct executive performance evaluations and immediately recessed to closed session, with officials saying there would be no reportable action.

Chair (speaker 2) opened the meeting, stating, "We are convening the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, special meeting for our executive performance evaluations," and asked that the record show supervisors Church, Lopez and Askew were present. The Chair also listed the closed-session items as 1(a) through 1(c).

The Clerk (speaker 1) said there were no additions or corrections to the closed-session agenda and added, "I will note that there will be no reportable action from the closed session as these are the executive evaluations." The Chair called for public comment on the closed-session items and on general public comment; the transcript records no speakers in chambers and no raised hands online.

Following the lack of public comment, the board recessed into closed session and the Chair said the board would adjourn from the closed session. The transcript includes a brief, unclear date reference rendered as "25th 20 26" and a start-time reference that a participant said would be "08:40." The record does not specify a clear calendar date or further public details about the evaluations.

Because executive performance evaluations are conducted in closed session under state law, the board did not present details of the discussions or any personnel conclusions during the public portion of the meeting. The meeting record indicates no formal motions or votes were taken in public and that no reportable actions would be released following the closed session.

The meeting was recessed to closed session; the public record in the transcript ends with that recess and the Chair's statement that the board would adjourn after the closed session.
