Commissioners Open Discussion

Public Comment

Closed Session: Maryland Code, General Provisions Art. § 3-305 (b): (7) & (8) To consult with staff, consultants, or  other individuals about pending or potential litigation”. We are closing the meeting to discuss this topic because public discussion of any theories of imposing liability or interposing defenses, and next steps, would adversely affect the County’s position in litigation. Further, the Commissioners do not want to waive the attorney-client privilege.
