Board votes 4–0 to adjourn to executive session on real property negotiations

The Washington County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Tuesday to adjourn the work session into executive session to discuss real property negotiations. Chair Pro Tem Jason Snyder moved to recess to executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(e); the motion was seconded and passed by a 4–0 voice vote.

Before the vote, County Counsel Barnett confirmed the required participants would be available and noted partners in facilities and other staff were expected to attend. Commissioner Willie said he could not attend the executive session and left the remote meeting; the remaining commissioners approved the motion.

The board agreed to a short break and to reconvene in executive session to discuss the matter outlined in the motion. No substantive details of the property negotiations were discussed in open session.
