Item 2017-10-171: Executive Session to discuss potential litigation matter
Upon a motion by Commissioner Rivers, seconded by Commissioner Crumbley, the board voted to go into Executive Session to discuss a matter of potential litigation. Following the Executive Session, the board reconvened upon a motion by Commissioner Brown and seconded by Commissioner Crumbley. Commissioner Rivers then made a motion to authorize the Chairman and the County Clerk to execute all documents, intergovernmental agreements and related materials concerning the 2017 Service Delivery Strategy with all local government entities, subject to the oversight and concurrence of the County Attorney. This was seconded by Commissioner Crumbley and approved 3-0-1 with Chairman Henderson abstaining due to a conflict of interest.
