During the discussion the County Attorney recommended an executive session pursuant to Colorado statute 24-6-402(4)(b) to receive privileged legal advice "regarding the contract, and legalities in that contract and rights and remedies under that contract." The Chair moved to go into executive session for that purpose and the motion was seconded; the board voted in favor and the meeting moved to executive session.
