Executive session called after adjournment of the meeting


Guest Larry

Recommended Posts

At our boards last special board meeting, the motion to adjourn the special meeting and disconnect the phone line which was passed. and the meeting was adjourned. A Motion was then made to go into executive session which was voted on and done. 

Is that an executive session or a non noticed meeting of the board from the Roberts Rules perspective. 

Was there the protection of executive session in that meeting if the minutes reflect the above?

thanks for the help!

Q. Is that an executive session or a non-noticed meeting of the board from the Roberts Rules perspective?

Strange.

You cannot adjourn a meeting, and then immediately convene a meeting of the same body.

Once you adjourn, there is no assembly left to entertain "motions" to do anything, much less "go into executive session". --- "Adjourned" means "over and out, Roger!"

Once a special meeting ends, your next meeting is a regular meeting. -- Barring some incredibly wild series of pre-arranged calendar dates of high peculiarity.

Your post-meeting appears to be a non-noticed (illegal) meeting, based on the scant information you have given so far.
