. Notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the
contrary, the board may hold executive sessions in conjunction with
any regular or special meeting and maintain confidential information
and records limited to matters concerning interstate claims to the
use of Colorado River system waters in judicial proceedings,
administrative proceedings, and negotiations with representatives
from other states or the federal government. Whenever the board holds
an executive session in conjunction with any regular or special
meeting or maintains as confidential any information or records
hereunder, the board shall make an affirmative finding in its public
minutes that the holding of an open meeting or the disclosure of the
information or records to the public would substantially impair the
performance by the board of its statutory duties. At the end of the
minutes of each meeting of the board shall appear the certificate of
its executive secretary that the meeting was held in accordance with
the provisions of Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of
Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code
and Sections 12516 and 12519 of the Water Code.
