At a short special meeting, the Page County board voted to have the county attorney contact the law firm Ehlers and Cooney to pursue outside legal counsel for an upcoming IUC hearing. The motion was made by a committee member, seconded by the Chair, and carried after audible 'Aye' responses from those present.
The Chair opened the meeting and said the board’s primary item was to discuss hiring outside legal counsel for the county. The Chair also noted that MidAmerican had originally been expected to speak but, on the advice of the county attorney, the board would address the hiring decision internally. A committee member said they were trying to determine whether outside counsel was needed for the IUC hearing and suggested that the county attorney reach out to Ehlers and Cooney to obtain the necessary information and next steps.
The committee member formally moved that the county attorney contact Ehlers and Cooney to proceed with matters related to the IUC hearing. The Chair asked for and recorded a second. The Chair then called for a vote; those present responded 'Aye,' and the Chair said the motion carried. The board recorded that the county attorney would contact Ehlers and Cooney to move forward.
After that action, a committee member moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded, the Chair called for a vote, audible 'Aye' responses were recorded, and the Chair noted the time at 12:02 p.m. The meeting ended shortly thereafter.
