Executive Meetings <br /> Before closing a meeting to the public and <br /> going into an executive meeting, need: <br /> 1. 2/3 vote of board members present and a <br /> majority of the board's full membership <br /> 2. Vote recorded and entered into minutes <br /> 3. Announce reason for closed meeting <br /> We'll move from permitted interactions, which are not meetings, to the second basic <br /> Sunshine Law requirement: All meetings must be open to the public, unless specifically <br /> allowed by law to be closed. One type of meeting that can be closed to the public is <br /> the "executive" meeting or session. But certain requirements must first be met. <br /> First, there needs to be a two-thirds vote in favor of going into an executive meeting by <br /> all board members who are present and those members must constitute at least a <br /> majority of the board's full membership. For example, you have a 10-member board, <br /> with a quorum of 6 members — 2/3 of 6 equals 4, but you will need at least 6 members <br /> to constitute a majority of the full membership of 10 to vote to go into executive <br /> session. <br /> Second, this vote must take place during the public portion of the meeting and the vote <br /> must be recorded and entered into the board's minutes. <br /> Third, during the public portion, the board must also announce the reason for going <br /> into the executive session. <br /> 19 <br />
