ECMC holds executive session for legal advice on two contested dockets

During the Sept. 30 meeting, Chair Robins moved that the commission receive legal advice in executive session. AAG Boudreaux advised the commission of the statutory basis for such a session under Colorado open-meetings law and identified the two dockets under discussion.

AAG Boudreaux told the commission: "Pursuant to open meetings law, the commission is entitled to enter into executive session at this regular meeting to receive legal advice pursuant to Colorado revised statutes 24 6 4 0 2 3 8 3." Commissioners voted to enter executive session; the AAG later reported that legal advice had been provided, and that no deliberations, votes or decisions occurred during the confidential session. The commission then returned to public session and resumed deliberations.
