2.04.090 Executive session.
A. If permitted subjects are to be discussed at a meeting in executive session, the meeting must first be convened as a public meeting and the question of holding an executive session to discuss matters that come within the exceptions of subsection (B) of this section shall be determined by a majority vote of the council. The motion to convene in executive session must clearly and with specificity describe the subject of the proposed executive session without defeating the purpose of addressing the subject in private. Subjects may not be considered at the executive session except those mentioned in the motion calling for the executive session unless auxiliary to the main question. Action may not be taken at an executive session, except to give direction to an attorney or labor negotiator regarding the handling of a specified legal matter or pending labor negotiations.
B. Upon adoption of a motion stating the purpose for an executive session, the council in closed session may discuss:
1. Matters, the immediate knowledge of which would clearly have an adverse effect upon the finances of the public entity;
2. Subjects that tend to prejudice the reputation and character of any person, provided the person may request a public discussion;
3. Matters which by law, municipal Charter, or ordinances are required to be confidential;
4. Matters involving consideration of government records that by law are not subject to public disclosure.
C. This section does not apply to quasi-judicial boards when holding a meeting solely to make a decision in an adjudicatory proceeding. (Ord. 648 § 3, 2005)
