Executive Sessions

The City Council meets in executive session to discuss sensitive matters or receive information. These executive sessions usually deal with real property transactions, litigation, or labor negotiations; other allowed subjects would include employment of a public officer, dismissal or disciplining of a public officer, preliminary negotiations involving matters of trade, employment performance of the chief executive officer, or negotiations regarding public investments. Although the public may not attend executive sessions, representatives of the news media may attend and, while information obtained during the session may not be printed, it may be used as background. Decisions are not made during executive sessions; a consensus may be reached, but all decisions resulting from information obtained in executive session are made during a public meeting.
