executive sessions

Executive sessions are private meetings held by a legislative or governing body, such as a city council or board of directors. During these sessions, discussions about sensitive topics—like legal issues, personnel matters, or security concerns—occur without the public or media present. This confidentiality allows members to speak freely and address issues that require privacy. After the executive session, the group may resume open meetings to share relevant decisions or information. These sessions help ensure transparency and accountability while protecting sensitive information necessary for sound decision-making.
