Executive session recordings raise questions
SANDPOINT — Bonner County commissioners voted Tuesday to seek further clarification on a protection order against Commissioner Steve Bradshaw filed earlier this year by Commissioner Asia Williams. The vote came after a deputy was found to be recording executive sessions.
While details of the protection order, which is sealed, are unavailable to the public, the year-long order prevents Bradshaw from entering the Bonner County Administration Building except to attend regularly scheduled Tuesday business meetings. When he does attend those meetings, a deputy has been instructed to follow him until he leaves the premises.
While Commissioner Luke Omodt has voiced his disapproval of the deputy sitting in on meetings, things got more complicated this week when it was discovered that the deputy has been recording video and audio footage of executive sessions on his body camera — an action that could have legal ramifications.
