Policy specifies terrorism-related and IT/security topics that may be discussed in closed session

The Union City policy dedicates a section to subsection (11) of the statute, identifying specific terrorism-related subjects that may be discussed in executive session: investigation of plans or schemes to commit terrorism; vulnerability assessments of government facilities; deterrence, prevention, or protection planning; response or remediation planning after an act of terrorism; and investigations of completed acts.

The policy also limits executive sessions on information-technology topics to narrowly defined technical details, listing seven types of information that must be specifically identified before IT material may be discussed behind closed doors (for example, "design or functional schematics" and "system configuration information"). The document explicitly states a definition of terrorism and clarifies that "Peaceful picketing or boycotts and other nonviolent action shall not be considered terrorism (21 O.S. §1268. l)." By enumerating both subject areas and granular IT criteria, the policy narrows the scope of what terrorism- or security-related material can be handled in private.
