Kootenai District trustees move into executive session under Idaho law to consider hiring
Summary
At its meeting the Kootenai District Board of Trustees voted to enter an executive session "pursuant to Idaho code 74-206(a)" to evaluate candidates for a public hiring decision; the roll-call vote recorded affirmative responses and the meeting moved into closed session.
The Kootenai District Board of Trustees voted to enter an executive session to consider hiring a public officer. The motion, read aloud by the board clerk, said the board would go into executive session "pursuant to Idaho code Idaho code 74 2 0 6 subsection a to consider hiring a public officer, employee, staff member, or individual agent, whereas respective qualities of individuals are to be evaluated in order to fill a particular vacancy or need." The text of the motion and the statutory citation were given on the record.
A roll-call vote followed. Trustee Taft, Trustee Getchas, Trustee Verkis and Chair Wilcox registered affirmative responses during the roll call; the clerk then stated, “We are now in executive session.” The motion was approved and the meeting moved into closed session for confidential evaluation of candidate qualifications. The motion’s maker and seconder were not specified on the public record provided in the transcript.
No further public action or decision on hiring was recorded in the transcript; the board’s use of Idaho Code 74-206(a) indicates the discussion was limited to the confidential personnel matter described in the statute.
