Summary

The Prison Board entered an executive session during its May 18 meeting; the minutes record the motions to enter and to return but do not disclose the substance of the executive-session discussion.

Controller Jeff Balzer moved that the board enter executive session; DA First Assistant Chuck Washburn seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Later, Commissioner Sean Kertes moved to return to public session, seconded by Controller Jeff Balzer, and the motion again passed unanimously. The meeting agenda listed executive session as an option for personnel or litigation matters, but the public minutes do not disclose whether personnel, litigation or another permitted topic was discussed.

After returning to public session, the board announced the procedure for adding items to the agenda that may have arisen during executive session and then took official action on a matter added to the agenda (the inmate totes purchase). The minutes provide no additional detail about the executive-session content.
