Agenda lists possible closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(c); any action to follow
Summary
Item 2 on the July 21 agenda invokes Iowa Code 21.5(1)(c) for a possible closed session to discuss litigation strategy and notes Item 3 will consider any action resulting from it.
The county's published agenda includes a listing for a possible closed session described as “to discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation or where litigation is imminent where its disclosure would be likely to prejudice or disadvantage the position of Winnebago County in such litigation” and cites Iowa Code 21.5(1)(c). The agenda also lists a subsequent item to consider approval of any action resulting from the closed session.
The agenda text is the notice provided to the public ahead of the meeting; it does not record whether the closed-session discussion occurred or what, if any, actions were taken. Any motion, vote, or formal direction tied to the closed session would be recorded in the official minutes or in a public action item when the board reconvenes, subject to statute and public-record rules.
