Chair moves to enter executive session under South Dakota statute
Summary
The chair moved to enter an executive session under South Dakota codified model 1-25-2 (item 13); the motion was seconded and carried by an audible 'Aye.' The transcript does not record the subject of the closed session or a full roll-call vote.
The chair introduced agenda item 13 and moved that the body go into executive session under "South Dakota codified model 1-25-2," citing that statute as the legal basis for a closed session. A second was recorded and the chair called for a voice vote, saying, "All in favor, say aye." An audible "Aye" followed and the meeting entered executive session; the transcript ends after the body moved into closed session.
Why it matters: Executive sessions close portions of a meeting to the public and typically require citation of a statute or rule. The transcript records the legal citation used to justify the closed meeting but does not disclose the subject matter that will be discussed in executive session or provide a roll-call tally of votes.
Details: The record includes a motion to enter executive session, a stated second, the chair's call for a voice vote, and an audible affirmative response. The transcript does not identify who seconded the motion, does not record the names of anyone voting, and does not specify the agenda subject for the executive session. Because those procedural details are not in the transcript, they are reported here as not specified. The meeting then moved into executive session under the cited statute.
