During new business at the Dec. 22 grievance subcommittee meeting, the chair announced Item 4: a request to enter executive session citing "law, chapter 38, section 21 a 3" to discuss parity with respect to collective bargaining, including grievances related to administrators and employees represented by the Court of Administrators Association.

The chair said the matter could have legal and financial implications for the committee and that the panel would reconvene after executive session, noting "there may or may not be statements at that time." The request was presented as a formal agenda item and documented in the public record; no public deliberation of the substantive grievance claims or a formal vote outcome appears in the transcript excerpt.

Committee members then moved to adjourn; multiple procedural calls for adjournment appear in the transcript, and a reconvened roll call shows some members responding "Here/Yes," but the record ends before a complete public tally for the final adjournment vote was provided.

The transcript establishes that the committee invoked the statutory authority for an executive session and planned follow-up, but the public record in the transcript does not include the executive-session discussion or any subsequent public actions taken on grievance claims.
