Chair moves board into executive session to discuss collective bargaining and a hiring matter

Near the meeting's close, Commissioner Carpenter moved to enter executive session "for the purpose of discussing collective bargaining and hiring of a public" employee. He said the board would reconvene in the regular session in the chambers behind the meeting room and, if any public action followed, they would return to the public meeting room to undertake it.

The chair indicated he did not expect additional action at this time. The motion to move into executive session was announced on the record; no other public details were disclosed during the open session.
