When a board or ordsprog

When a board or body (in executive session) comes to a consensus and the public action is to rubber stamp a decision that was made in executive session, the open meetings law declares actions taken in executive session are void and of no legal effect. No decision can be made in closed session.

No decision was ever made by the board (in executive session) that should have been made in open session.

If the decision was made by consensus or straw vote in the executive session, that was a clear violation of the open meetings law.

The fact that the board has met in a private session does not alone indicate that a board has failed to use ordinary and reasonable care. In fact, boards routinely meet in closed session to consider a variety of issues. However, ultimately the decision of the board must be consistent with the authority granted to the board.

Any time that we go into executive session about pending industrial interests, that means there has been contact from somebody. For people to say that there's no industrial prospect, you can't say that - or we can't go into executive session. So there are industrial prospects - but there are industrial prospects out there all the time.

There will probably be personnel involved and they also have rights under the open meetings law. I'm not going to close the door on it (forensic audit) but it would have to happen in executive session.

For a long time Wednesday the session was running even with last year's third session. The end of the session helped.

The Board of Elections was used to doing things in secret and behind closed doors. Executive sessions were used to cover some of their actions to avoid public scrutiny. Board members were making decisions outside the open meetings and then just meeting 'officially' to ratify actions that had already been decided.
