Board adds urgent closed‑session item over newly served lawsuit against county
Summary
Siskiyou County counsel asked the board to add an urgent closed‑session item to authorize defense of Friend v. Sierra Pacific Industries; the board approved the addition by voice vote so counsel could act before the next regular meeting.
The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors added an urgent closed‑session item on a newly served complaint so county counsel could obtain direction and authorization to defend the case before the board's next regular meeting. County counsel said the complaint in the matter of Friend versus Sierra Pacific Industries was served on the county clerk after the agenda was posted and cited Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1) as the basis for adding the item.
A county representative asked the board to "determine by 0.667 vote of the members present today that this is an urgency item pursuant to Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1) and it be added to the closed session agenda." A motion to add the item was moved and seconded; supervisors present voted aye and the item was added. The clerk earlier reported the board had met in closed session at 08:31 and returned at 08:52 with no reportable action on agenda item 3(a).
