Board votes to enter executive session to receive legal advice on Xcel letter and Gun Club IGA

At the close of the study session, a commissioner moved that the board enter executive session "pursuant to section 24 6 4 0 2 4 b of the Colorado revised statutes to receive legal advice" and under additional subsections to develop negotiation strategy and instruct negotiators. The motion listed two items: an Xcel Energy response letter related to an Iliff Avenue construction demand letter, and the intergovernmental agreement for relocating a core electric transmission line to allow expansion of Gun Club Road.

The motion was seconded and the board approved the executive session on an aye vote. County attorneys had previously indicated certain negotiation terms and legal advice would be handled behind closed doors. Commissioners indicated they would give direction after the executive session or, if appropriate, a thumbs‑up to proceed with negotiated terms.
