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.
