FOAC holds closed session on police cybersecurity assessment, then accepts findings
Summary
The Financial Oversight and Audit Committee met in a closed session under the El Paso city charter and Texas Government Code to deliberate a cybersecurity assessment for the El Paso Police Department, then returned to open session and accepted the assessment findings.
On April 9 the Financial Oversight and Audit Committee retired into a closed session to discuss the El Paso Police Department cybersecurity assessment, citing the El Paso city charter and Texas Government Code chapter 551, subchapter D (section 551.089) for deliberations regarding security audits.
The committee recessed for a closed session at 1:14 p.m. and returned to open session at 1:42 p.m. Chairwoman Alejandra Chavez then entertained a motion to accept the findings discussed in closed session; the motion and second were recorded and the motion passed. The transcript records the statutory authority used to justify the closed meeting but does not provide the assessment details (those deliberations occurred in closed session and remain confidential as allowed by law).
Because the discussion and any sensitive technical details were conducted under the closed-session exception for security audits, the meeting record correctly limits public disclosure of those specifics. The committee's public action on returning to open session was to accept the findings; the transcript does not specify a vote tally.
