Board votes to deny FOIA appeal tied to search warrant for Owens resident
Summary
After brief discussion about the status of an active investigation, the board voted to deny an appeal of a FOIA denial related to a search warrant for an Owens resident; the motion to deny the appeal was made and carried on a voice vote.
Board members discussed an appeal of a FOIA denial that the board had previously returned. Commissioners asked whether the case remained open and whether disclosure could interfere with an active investigation; staff said the matter remained an open investigation.
A committee member moved "that we deny the appeal for the FOIA request pertaining to the search warrant for the Owens resident." Members voted on the motion by voice and the board denied the appeal.
No detailed redaction or legal rationale beyond the statement that the case is an active investigation was recorded in the meeting transcript; the board did not enter into an in‑camera or closed session on the matter during the public meeting.
