101865
. (a) Prior to holding any closed session, the agenda item or
items to be discussed in the closed session shall be publicly
identified. An item may be identified by reference to the item or
items as they are listed by number or letter on the agenda. In a
closed session, only those matters covered in the statement may be
considered. Nothing in this article shall require or authorize a
disclosure of information prohibited by state or federal law.
(b) The corporation shall designate an officer or officers who
shall attend each closed session of the board or a committee and keep
a minute book of the session. The minute book may, but need not,
consist of a recording of the closed session. The minute book is not
a record subject to Section 101871 and shall be kept confidential.
The minute book shall be available only to members of the board or
committee or, if a violation of this chapter is alleged to have
occurred at a closed session, to a court of general jurisdiction
wherein the corporation lies.
(c) After any closed session, the board or committee shall
reconvene into open session prior to adjournment and shall make any
disclosures required by subdivision (d) of action in the closed
session. Announcements required to be made in open session pursuant
to this article shall be made at the location announced in the agenda
for the closed session.
(d) Any action taken during a closed session of a meeting shall be
announced publicly, including the vote or abstention of every
director present, as follows:
(1) Approval of an agreement concluding property negotiations
pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 101864 shall be reported after
the agreement is final, as specified below:
(A) If its own approval renders the agreement final, the
corporation shall report that approval and the substance of the
agreement in open session at the meeting during which the closed
session is held.
(B) If final approval rests with the other party to the
negotiations, the corporation shall disclose the fact of that
approval and the substance of the agreement upon inquiry by any
person, as soon as the other party or its agent has informed the
corporation of its approval.
(2) Approval given to its legal counsel of a settlement of pending
litigation, as described in subdivision (g) of Section 101864, at
any stage prior to or during a judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding
shall be reported after the settlement is final, as specified below:
(A) If the corporation accepts a settlement offer signed by the
opposing party, the body shall report its acceptance and identify the
substance of the agreement in open session at the meeting during
which the closed session is held.
(B) If final approval rests with some other party to the
litigation or with the court, then as soon as the settlement becomes
final, and upon inquiry by any person, the corporation shall disclose
the fact of that approval, and identify the substance of the
agreement.
(3) Approval of an agreement concluding collective bargaining or
contract negotiations with represented or unrepresented employees
pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 101864 shall be reported after
the agreement is final and has been accepted or ratified by the
other party. The report shall identify the item approved and the
other party or parties to the negotiation.
