Gary,

No, they never left executive session before adjourning; the motion to postpone was made in executive session.

Thank you! That makes sense.

So it may be prudent for the assembly to decide on some statement regarding what happened to it.

Yes, certainly a subject for executive sessions future...

Sorry, I messed up my example. Here is the actual situation: 

1. Regular meeting is called to order
2. Main motion A is brought before the board.
3. Embarrassing amendment B is brought before the board.
4. The board votes to enter executive session
5. Embarrassing amendment B is ruled out of order
6. An appeal fails.
7. Main motion A is postponed to the next meeting
8. Meeting adjourned.

So I have to include the amendment and the appeal in the minutes for the executive session. Do I also need to include the amendment in the minutes for the main meeting?

Hello all, I have a question about how to record both general minutes and executive session minutes when a motion introduced in a regular meeting is disposed of in executive session.

Example:

1. Regular meeting is called to order
2. Main motion A is brought before the board.
3. Embarrassing amendment B is brought before the board.
4. The board votes to enter executive session
5. Embarrassing amendment B fails
6. Main motion A is postponed to the next meeting
7. Meeting adjourned.

I am writing minutes separately for the regular meeting and the executive session. Should I include Main motion A in the regular meeting minutes? Must I include embarrassing amendment B in the regular meeting minutes? If so, how can I describe the disposal of these motions, since they were disposed of in executive session?
