Douglas County commissioners reconvene, end executive session with no public action recorded

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners reconvened from an executive session and voted to come out of the closed session before taking any further public business. "May I get a motion to come out of executive session?" the chair asked, and the board recorded a motion, a second and an affirmative announcement that the motion carried.

The chair began the meeting by telling residents that the board "handled county business in executive session." A staff member reminded commissioners that they needed to reconvene on the public record before voting; after the motion to end the executive session was called and seconded, the chair said, "Motion carries." The transcript also contains the phrase "Motion carries. 3." immediately after the announcement; the public record does not otherwise specify a numbered vote tally.
