Summary
State's Attorney Jenny recommended continuing to hold executive‑session minutes because confidentiality remains necessary and to destroy audio recordings older than two years except those tied to pending litigation; the committee accepted the recommendation.
State's Attorney Jenny recommended that previously held executive‑session minutes remain confidential because the need for confidentiality persists, and she advised destroying audio recordings of executive sessions that are more than two years old except for those related to pending litigation. Jenny stated the office’s recommendation explicitly and the committee approved the action by voice vote.
The chair asked for a vote on the state's attorney's recommendation and recorded the approval as unanimous. Jenny also noted the audio‑destruction recommendation excludes recordings tied to pending litigation, which will be retained for case‑related reasons.
