Rico trustees move into executive session to discuss voluntary cleanup settlement
Summary
Trustees voted 6-0 to enter an executive session Aug. 21 to discuss the townwide Voluntary Cleanup settlement, negotiation strategy, and instruction of negotiators under Colorado law; Mayor Nicole Pieterse moved the motion and Trustee Cristal Hibbard seconded.
During the Aug. 21 meeting the Board of Trustees moved to go into executive session to discuss the townwide Voluntary Cleanup settlement (VCUP), positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations, the development of negotiation strategy, and instruction of negotiators pursuant to Colorado law. Mayor Nicole Pieterse moved the motion; Trustee Cristal Hibbard seconded. A roll-call vote to enter executive session passed 6-0.
The minutes cite Colorado's executive-session authority for closed-door negotiation discussions: § 24-6-402(4)(e), C.R.S. The minutes record that the motion was approved; they do not include the substance of the closed-session discussion, which is consistent with statutory confidentiality for negotiation strategy and settlement deliberations.
