The Chisago County Board closed its April 1 meeting under Minnesota statute to discuss offers on two parcels identified as the Old Jail Site (PIDs 12.00082.00 and 12.00048.00), reconvened, and then voted to "proceed as directed" from the closed session.

At 7:17 p.m. the board voted to close the meeting under Minn.

County Attorney Janet Reiter, County Administrator Chase Burnham and other staff were present in the closed session alongside the commissioners.
