Motions in camera and making minutes retroactively public
Guest posted a topic in General Discussion
I was part of an in camera special meeting where significant and controversial motions were passed. Because the meeting was held entirely in camera and all motions and votes happened in camera, should those motions be made public? I'm at a public organization where all open session meeting minutes of the governance bodies are required to be made public. I have now read that a body can move motions in camera only if the motion will only affect people who are privy to the secret proceedings. Is this correct? If the motions carried in this in camera meeting were of consequence to the larger community, are they required to be made public in the way that all other motions carried in regular session meetings are? And what about the minutes? Should they be made public too? If the answer is no--the motions must stay private--and no--the minutes must stay private, how can these motions and minutes be retroactively made public?- 3 replies

Can a motion be made in camera?

For a sub-committee in camera meeting (Board Directors). Do you provide notice to ALL members of the sub-committee as a way of informing them of the meeting, knowing that not ALL can attend? My understanding is that a meeting is not taken as an in camera or executive session but rather a SECRET MEETING when any committee member is not informed or is excluded from notice. Please advise
