BOCC moves into executive session to get legal advice on fire recovery, alley maintenance, tax liens and BOE settlement
Summary
County attorney Brandon Hirsch requested an executive session under Colorado statute to receive legal advice on planning department responsibilities for fire recovery, maintenance of an alley behind the motor vehicle office, a Board of Equalization settlement with Colsey LLC (case 25BAA411), and county rights regarding sale or transfer of tax liens in Colorado City; the board moved into executive session following a motion and aye votes.
Brandon Hirsch, representing the county attorney's office, requested an executive session at the July 9 Pueblo County BOCC work session to receive legal advice under state law on multiple specific matters.
"I'm requesting executive session to hold a conference with the county attorney to receive legal advice on specific legal questions pursuant to CRS 24 6 4 2 4 b regarding planning department responsibilities concerning fire damage assessment, recovery, and coordination, the county's rights and responsibilities with respect to maintenance of an unnamed alleyway behind Public West motor vehicle office, the settlement between the Public County Board of Equalization and Colsey LLC in case number 25BAA411, and regarding the rights and duties of the county with respect to possible sale or transfer of tax liens on parcels in Colorado City," Hirsch stated.
The chair asked for a motion to enter executive session; the chair then recorded a motion and a second and called for the vote. "All in favor, say aye," the chair said, and the board responded with ayes and proceeded into executive session. No additional discussion or public details were provided on the record about the substantive legal questions; those matters were identified for confidential legal consultation under the cited statute.
Next steps: The BOCC entered executive session for legal advice. Any public actions that result from that session would need to be recorded in future public minutes or subsequent meetings.
