State's attorney recommends keeping executive-session minutes closed; committee approves audio destruction policy
Summary
The state's attorney's office recommended that executive-session minutes remain closed where confidentiality persists and advised destroying executive-session audio recordings older than two years except those tied to pending litigation; the committee approved the recommendation unanimously.
The committee reviewed its executive-session minutes. A representative of the state's attorney's office (S12) advised the committee to continue to hold previously closed executive-session minutes where confidentiality still exists and to destroy executive-session audio recordings that are more than two years old, except recordings related to pending litigation.
Committee members voted on the state's attorney's recommendation and approved it unanimously. The action leaves minutes closed where confidentiality remains necessary, and directs destruction of older audio recordings unless they are connected to ongoing legal matters.
