Chair calls executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(h) to consult with counsel on litigation
Summary
Chair Jay Trost called an executive session at 3:36 p.m. under ORS 192.660(2)(h) to consult with counsel about litigation; the session ended at 4:12 p.m. and the meeting was adjourned the same day.
Chair Jay Trost moved the board into executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(h) "to consult with counsel concerning legal rights and duties of a public body with regard to current litigation or litigation likely to be filed." The executive session began at 3:36 p.m. and concluded at 4:12 p.m., at which time the meeting was adjourned.
The minutes record the statutory basis for the closed session (ORS 192.660(2)(h)) and also cite ORS 192.640(1) regarding meeting notice; they do not record any substantive public actions or decisions taken during the closed session, consistent with the closed nature of executive sessions under state law. The minutes indicate no further public action after the session and list the meeting adjournment at 4:12 p.m.
Because executive sessions are confidential by statute, the minutes provide authority citations and start/end times but do not disclose topics discussed or any legal advice content. Any public next steps or formal actions would need to be recorded in a subsequent open meeting entry if the board takes them.
