Commissioners discuss improving emergency communications after water‑main breaks and enter executive session
Summary
Commissioners reported a meeting with EMA and department staff to improve public communications following a large set of water‑main breaks, and later voted to enter executive session to discuss imminent litigation and property acquisition/sale.
During the discussion session Commissioner Steve said the county could have handled recent widespread water‑main breaks better and described a meeting with EMA and department staff to upgrade communications and synchronize operations with public safety. "We could have handled it better. We need to handle it better," he said, and encouraged residents to sign up for the county EMA notification system.
Later the presiding commissioner noted the meeting began late because the board attended a ribbon cutting for a new trades building at the career center, and the board moved into executive session "for the purpose to discuss imminent litigation and to consider the purchase or sale of public property." The motion to enter executive session was seconded and approved by roll call.
No substantive discussion of the litigation or property transaction occurred in open session; the board recorded the unanimous vote to enter executive session and adjourned afterward.
