Mendocino County Board of Supervisors adjourns to closed session; report out says staff given negotiating authority

The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors called a regular meeting, took roll, and adjourned to closed session to hear items listed as CS1, CS2 and CS3. The board said it would reconvene no earlier than 11:30 a.m.

When the Board returned to open session, the presiding official asked county council for a report out. County council reported that information had been provided to the board on closed-session items 1 and 2, information had been provided with regard to closed-session item 3, and negotiating authority was given to staff.

Earlier in the meeting the clerk confirmed there was no public present in chambers and no online commenters during the public-comment period. The meeting concluded when the presiding official announced it was 12:30 p.m. and adjourned.

The report out did not include further detail on the subjects of CS1–CS3 or on the scope or limits of the negotiating authority; the council's statement was limited to confirming that information was provided and that authority to negotiate was granted to staff.
