Summary

The Polk County clerk announced an executive session under Oregon statute to discuss labor-negotiation deliberations and to consult with counsel about current or likely litigation; the clerk cited ORS 190.260 in the announcement.

Before adjourning to closed session, the clerk told the board the body would meet in executive session under Oregon law to conduct deliberations with designated representatives on labor negotiations and to consult with county counsel concerning litigation or litigation likely to be filed.

The clerk stated on the record: "The board will meet in executive session pursuant to ORS 190 two-six 60 sub 2 d to conduct deliberations with persons designated by the governing body to carry out labor negotiations and some sub age to consult with counsel concerning the legal rights and duties of a public body with with regard to current litigation or litigation likely to be filed." The transcript uses that phrasing; the statutory citation is commonly written ORS 190.260(2)(d) and (2)(a). The announcement closed the open portion of the meeting for the stated deliberations.
