Commissioners move to close meeting to discuss pending litigation amid several ongoing civil matters
Summary
County staff and the contract civil attorney reported on several civil matters, including a fairgrounds lease, Catalysts for Change agreement, termination of a Code Red agreement, and easement work for Lower Luther Road; the board voted to close the meeting to discuss pending litigation.
Contract Civil Attorney Jacque Papez joined the April 23 meeting to brief the commissioners on multiple civil items. Administrative Officer Angela Newell told the board she is working with counsel on the Fairgrounds lease, a Catalysts for Change agreement, and termination of the Code Red agreement. Papez said her paralegal is engaged on easements tied to the Lower Luther Road realignment and that there had been no updates on an Encroachment Permit for Selms Road since November.
Following the legal updates, Commissioner Scott Miller moved to close the meeting to discuss pending litigation. Commissioner Scott Blain seconded the motion and it was recorded as carried; the minutes note the board closed the meeting to continue the litigation discussion in a closed session.
No further detail about the content of the litigation discussion appears in the minutes. The public minutes record the existence of the legal matters and the board’s decision to close the meeting but do not state outcomes of any closed discussion or identify parties to pending litigation.
