Summary
The board entered two executive sessions—one on potential litigation and one on contract negotiations. No action resulted from either session. The board authorized County Attorney Joe McNally to contact and preliminarily retain special counsel for the Board of Adjustment, subject to later ratification.
County Attorney Joe McNally requested an executive session to discuss potential litigation; the board entered executive session at 10:21 a.m. with McNally, the County Board and Andrew Willis of Cline Williams present. The board returned to open session at 11:13 a.m. with no action taken.
