Carroll County officials approve settlement in claim by Sadie Hansen
Summary
Carroll County officials voted 3-2 to accept a settlement related to a claim by Sadie Hansen after returning from a closed session; the claim had been investigated by the county attorney, the sheriff's office and the insurer's attorneys. Settlement amount was not specified in the transcript.
Carroll County officials voted 3-2 to accept a settlement related to a claim by Sadie Hansen after returning from a closed session, the chair said.
"In the closed session, claim was made by Sadie Hansen," the chair said, and added that the matter "has been investigated by the insurance company and attorneys, a county attorney and also the insurance company's attorneys and the sheriff's department." The chair then said the board would vote on whether to accept the settlement agreement.
The chair said, "I'll make a motion to accept the insurance," and a second was recorded. A roll call followed: McCray voted yes; Johnson voted yes; Miners replied, "Reluctantly, yes;" Hausman voted no; Anderson voted no. The chair announced the motion carried and later stated, "It's been approved 3 0 2," a phrasing that conflicts with the roll-call responses recorded (three yes, two no). The transcript does not specify the dollar amount or other terms of the settlement.
After the vote the meeting moved directly to adjournment. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded, and the board approved it by voice vote.
No further details about the claim or settlement terms were provided in the transcript, and the record indicates the board discussed the matter in closed session before approving the settlement in open session.
