Guest mark Posted May 22, 2012 at 09:54 PM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 09:54 PM HiWhat details are needed to be provided in the public minutes as to why we went in camera? Can we just say we have the right under bylaw .....?Or do we have to give more information, say we are doing staff performance reviews for Jim and Sallie, or we are going to be discussing real estate acquisition?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. J. Posted May 22, 2012 at 09:58 PM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 09:58 PM It could read like this:"The assembly went into executive session at 8:42 PM."You should note that the assembly came out of executive session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Novosielski Posted May 22, 2012 at 10:05 PM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 10:05 PM About the only way there would be more specific requirements is if you are a public body, subject to your state's Sunshine Laws, which may prescribe that the motion to go into executive session must include additional information, such as the reason. Sunshine laws often limit the reasons why a body may go into executive session; RONR does not. So this would make it a matter that goes beyond the rules in RONR, and the purview of this forum. If any of this applies to your question, consult your body's attorney for details on how the motion must be phrased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted May 22, 2012 at 10:09 PM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 10:09 PM It could read like this:"The assembly went into executive session at 8:42 PM."You should note that the assembly came out of executive session.Is there anything in RONR that requires noting the time the assembly went into executive session (serious question)? I've looked around a bit, and haven't found anything yet that states this requirement. When other sorts of motions are made, the time of adopting the motion isn't put into the minutes... except for adjourning the meeting, I guess.

I think either would be important for completeness or clarity (p. 470., #7). I would include some type of change of session in that, but it is not straight out specified.
