Commissioners approve surveyor letter; move into executive session on labor negotiations

During the Sept. 1 work session the board polled members and recorded affirmative responses to approve and sign a letter asking the county surveyor to choose between two positions. Following that vote, the chair announced the board would recess into executive session under the cited statutory subsection for labor negotiations and asked certain staff to step out; the board said it would return to regular session and adjourn after executive session.

The session did not include public detail on personnel negotiations because the chair cited the statutory exemption for labor negotiations; no additional votes or outcomes on the executive-session matter were disclosed publicly during the meeting.
