Kentucky Public Library Trustee Manual 86 How to go Into Closed Session Quick Reference Library board meetings are subject to Kentucky’s Open Meetings Act and are limited as to what may be discussed in closed (executive) session. The three most common reasons and the steps used to go legally from open meeting to closed session are listed below. In addition to citing the KRS number and general exemption category (property, litigation, or personnel), the minutes must also record the specific reason. This must be more specific than the categories listed above, but need not be so specific as to negate the need for private discussion. Examples of specific reasons are included below. The President or any other Trustee states, “I move the XYZ County Public Library Board go into closed session under KRS 61.810…[choose an option below].” The motion requires a second and a majority vote. The President (or other presiding officer) will state for the minutes, “The XYZ County Public Library Board will go into closed session at 7:28 pm.” This motion, second, vote, and the exact time will be recorded in the minutes. • • • under KRS 61.810, Section One, Subsection b [written as KRS 61.810(1) (b)] to discuss the purchase [or sale] of property for the Library. 1. 2. “The reason is to discuss a counteroffer by the seller.” “The reason is to discuss the method of sale.” under KRS 61.810, Section One, Subsection c [written as KRS 61.810(1) (c)] to discuss litigation involving the Library. 1. 2. “The reason is to discuss a settlement offer from opposing counsel.” “The reason is to discuss strategy for a potential lawsuit.” under KRS 61.810, Section One, Subsection f [written as KRS 61.810(1) (f)] to discuss a personnel matter. 1. 2. 3. “The reason is to discuss hiring a new director.” “The reason is to discuss a disciplinary action taken last week.” “The reason is to avoid damage to the reputation of the individual whose actions may lead to dismissal.” Record in the minutes the time the Board reconvened the open meeting.
Chapter 7: Appendix NOTE: No matters may be discussed in the closed session other than those publicly announced prior to convening the closed session. In Regard To Closed (Executive) Sessions: • No final action may be taken in a closed session; only in open session, therefore no minutes are taken during the closed session. 87
