Summary
The board voted to close the June 3 meeting at 7:31 p.m. to discuss labor negotiation strategy under Minn. Stat. §13D.03 and sections 179A.01–179A.25, reconvened at 9:43 p.m., and voted to proceed as directed in closed session; the minutes do not disclose substantive closed deliberations.
At 7:31 p.m. the Chisago County Board voted to close the meeting for a lawful closed session to consider strategy for labor negotiations under Minn. Stat. §13D.03 and sections 179A.01–179A.25. The minutes list participants present for the closed session, including County Attorney Janet Reiter and Assistant County Attorney Jeff Fuge, department directors, administrators and all five commissioners (Commissioner Swenson appearing virtually). The board reconvened at 9:43 p.m. on a motion to end the closed session.
Following reconvening, the board voted to "proceed as directed in the closed session." The minutes do not provide any further detail on the strategies discussed or actions approved during the closed deliberations; Minnesota law permits the board to withhold those deliberations when they concern negotiation strategy.
