Summary
The board listed closed-session items for litigation and a union contract under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11) and 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2), went into closed session, and later reconvened; the minutes provide statutory citations but no substantive public detail.
The Mercer County Board's agenda included two closed-session items: litigation pursuant to 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11) and a union contract pursuant to 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2). The minutes list the statutory citations and record a motion to go into closed session made by Board member Arbet and seconded by Board member Moreland; the motion is recorded as approved 8-0. The minutes also record a motion to come out of closed session moved by Board member DeMink and seconded by Board member Hawn, recorded as approved 8-0.
The public minutes do not disclose the substance of the closed-session discussions. The entry provides the meeting's statutory justification for closing the session but does not include any outcomes or directions that were made within the closed session in the public record.
