[Vision2020] Executive Sessions

[Stephanie Kalasz]

	For those of you who are interested, this is from the Idaho
Code:

	 

	> TITLE  67

	>                       STATE GOVERNMENT AND STATE AFFAIRS

	>                                   CHAPTER 23

	>                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

	>     67-2345.  EXECUTIVE SESSIONS -- WHEN AUTHORIZED. (1)
Nothing 

	> contained in this act shall be construed to prevent, upon a
two-thirds 

	> (2/3) vote recorded in the minutes of the meeting by
individual vote, 

	> a governing body of a public agency from holding an executive
session 

	> during any meeting, after the presiding officer has identified
the 

	> authorization by specific reference to one (1) or more of
paragraphs 

	> (a) through (j) of this subsection for the holding of such
executive 

	> session. An executive session may be held:

	>     (a)  To consider hiring a public officer, employee, staff
member or

	>     individual agent. This paragraph does not apply to filling
a 

	> vacancy in an

	>     elective office;

	>     (b)  To consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining
of, or 

	> to hear

	>     complaints or charges brought against, a public officer,
employee, 

	> staff

	>     member or individual agent, or public school student;

	>     (c)  To conduct deliberations concerning labor
negotiations or to 

	> acquire

	>     an interest in real property which is not owned by a
public agency;

	>     (d)  To consider records that are exempt from disclosure
as 

	> provided in

	>     chapter 3, title 9, Idaho Code;

	>     (e)  To consider preliminary negotiations involving
matters of 

	> trade or

	>     commerce in which the governing body is in competition
with 

	> governing

	>     bodies in other states or nations;

	>     (f)  To communicate with legal counsel for the public
agency to 

	> discuss

	>     the legal ramifications of and legal options for pending 

	> litigation, or

	>     controversies not yet being litigated but imminently
likely to be

	>     litigated. The mere presence of legal counsel at an
executive 

	> session does

	>     not satisfy this requirement;

	>     (g)  By the commission of pardons and parole, as provided
by law;

	>     (h)  By the sexual offender classification board, as
provided by 

	> chapter

	>     83, title 18, Idaho Code;

	>     (i)  By the custody review board of the Idaho department
of juvenile

	>     corrections, as provided by law; or

	>     (j)  To engage in communications with a representative of
the public

	>     agency's risk manager or insurance provider to discuss the


	> adjustment of a

	>     pending claim or prevention of a claim imminently likely
to be 

	> filed. The

	>     mere presence of a representative of the public agency's
risk 

	> manager or

	>     insurance provider at an executive session does not
satisfy this

	>     requirement.

	>     (2)  Labor negotiations may be conducted in executive
session if 

	> either side requests closed meetings. Notwithstanding the
provisions 

	> of section 67-2343, Idaho Code, subsequent sessions of the 

	> negotiations may continue without further public notice.

	>     (3)  No executive session may be held for the purpose of
taking 

	> any final action or making any final decision.
