County board holds executive session for legal advice on referenced Senate bill; no decisions recorded
The board voted to enter executive session under Colorado Revised Statutes CRS 24‑6‑402(4)(b) "for the purpose of receiving legal advice on specific legal questions related to interpretation and implementation of Senate Bill 23 1 6 6" (as stated in the public record). The motion to enter executive session passed on a roll‑call vote recorded in the transcript as 5–0.

After the executive session, the board voted to exit the executive session and County Attorney Kenneth Hodges reported the board had received legal advice and that no decisions were made in the closed session.

Limits on reporting: the transcript records only that legal advice was provided and that no decisions were made; it does not disclose the substance of the legal advice or identify the specific legal questions addressed. The transcript also spells the Senate bill number phonetically; the record does not provide additional identifying information about that bill in open session.

Ending: The board returned to open session, the clerk completed final agenda housekeeping, and the meeting was adjourned.
