Committee approves continued confidentiality for executive‑session minutes and selective audio destruction
Summary
Following a recommendation from the state's attorney's office, the committee voted to continue holding previously withheld executive‑session minutes and to destroy audio recordings older than two years except those tied to pending litigation.
The committee voted to maintain confidentiality for previously held executive‑session minutes and to destroy audio recordings more than two years old, except for recordings related to pending litigation, following a recommendation from the state's attorney's office.
"It's a recommendation of the state's attorney's office that all previously held minutes continue to be held because the, reason for the confidentiality still exists, and to destroy executive session audio recordings that are more than 2 years old except for those that relate to pending litigation," a representative read to the committee. The motion was made, seconded, and the chair called for a vote; Julie recorded an "Aye" and the chair announced the motion passes.
No member requested further clarification; staff indicated the recommendation comes from the state's attorney's office and that retained minutes will remain confidential where the statutory or other stated reason for confidentiality continues to apply.
