Osage Beach Board moves to executive session to discuss litigation and privileged attorney communications
Summary
Following the parkway vote, the board voted by roll call to close the public meeting and move into executive session under section 6 10.021 to discuss litigation and privileged communications with the city's attorneys.
OSAGE BEACH, Mo. — After voting to restripe Osage Beach Parkway, the Board of Aldermen voted to close the public meeting and move into executive session to discuss litigation and confidential communications with attorneys.
An agenda notice stated the board would consider a roll-call vote to close the meeting under section 6 10.021 for legal actions, causes of action, litigation involving a public governmental body, and confidential privileged communications between the governmental body and its attorneys. A motion to move into executive session was made and seconded; the recorder conducted the roll-call vote and the meeting was closed to the public for the executive discussion.
What this means: Executive sessions permit discussion of litigation and privileged attorney communications outside the public record; the transcript records the board’s motion and roll-call to enter the closed session but does not include details of the litigation or attorney communications discussed in the session.
Next step: The board will reconvene in public after the executive session or at a later stated time, and any formal actions that require public record must be reported when permissible under law.
