Board votes to enter executive session on pending litigation
Summary
The URA voted to go into executive session to consult with legal counsel about the legal ramifications and options for a matter that is likely to result in litigation, citing Idaho's executive session statute.
At the end of regular business the chair moved that the board enter executive session to consult with legal counsel about the legal ramifications and options for a matter described as not yet litigated but "eminently likely to be litigated." The motion cited Idaho Code regarding executive sessions and passed by roll call; the meeting recording was scheduled to be stopped before the closed session.
"I make a motion that we go into executive session pursuant to Idaho Code section 74 2061 to communicate with legal counsel for the agency to discuss the legal ramifications of and legal options for pending litigation or controversy," the chair said (transcript citation reads '74 2061' in the record). The board voted to enter executive session and staff said they would shut off the public recording while the closed meeting proceeded.
