Ruidoso council votes to enter closed session on personnel, litigation and land matters

Following completion of the open‑session agenda items, the Village of Ruidoso council voted May 28 to enter a closed session. The motion cited sections of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated referenced in the transcript (recorded as 1015-1H2, 10151H7 and 10151H8 NMSA 1978) to permit discussion of limited personnel matters, attorney‑client privileged threatened or pending litigation, and the purchase, acquisition or disposal of real property and/or water rights.

The motion to go into closed session passed on roll call. The council then instructed staff to close public streaming and proceed to an executive session; no substantive details from the closed session were disclosed in the public transcript.

Because the matters are statutorily privileged or involve personnel or pending litigation, the council did not discuss them in open session and provided no further public details at the meeting’s close.
