Summary
At a special Feb. 20, 2025 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Cleveland County unanimously voted to strike two planned executive-session agenda items that would have invoked 25 O.S. §307(B)(4) and named outside counsel; no public comments were recorded.
The Board of County Commissioners of Cleveland County voted unanimously Feb. 20, 2025, to remove two agenda items that would have convened an executive session for confidential communications with legal counsel under 25 O.S. §307(B)(4). Chairman Rod Cleveland moved to strike the items; Vice-Chairman Jacob McHughes seconded the motion and the vote was recorded as Rod Cleveland, yes; Jacob McHughes, yes; Rusty Grissom, yes.
The agenda text cited outside counsel by name, listing Spencer Fane LLP; Green, LLC; and Fellers, Snider, Blankenship, Bailey as legal counsel related to a pending investigation, claim, or action. The formal motion removed both agenda items (listed in the agenda as items G and H), and the board did not proceed with the executive-session discussion. The meeting record shows no public comments and no additional announcements from commissioners. The board reconvened its schedule without taking the confidential action the items would have authorized.
