Public Works committee schedules closed session under RSMo 610.021 subsections 1 and 13
Summary
The committee moved and seconded a motion to hold a closed session following the meeting under Revised Statutes of Missouri section 610.021 subsections 1 and 13 for privileged communications; members scheduled the closed session in the judge’s chambers.
Manuel Barcomb, chair, asked the committee for a motion to convene a closed session following the regular committee agenda for the purpose of “conducting privileged and confidential communications” under section 610.021, subsections 1 and 13, of the Revised Statutes of Missouri. A motion was made, seconded and the committee scheduled the closed session to be held in the judge’s chambers adjacent to the meeting room.
A committee member asked whether subsection 13 specifically pertained to personnel matters; committee discussion noted subsection 1 permits closed deliberations for privileged communications with county counselors and subsection 13 is commonly cited for certain personnel or litigation discussions. The committee did not disclose the subject matter beyond the cited statutory authority and no substantive discussion on the closed session topic occurred in open session.
The committee adjourned the open meeting and indicated the closed session would follow as announced; no vote within closed session was recorded in the public transcript.
