Disclosure of Executive Session Actions under Open Meetings Act

(47) Under an amendment to the Open Meetings Act, effective July 1, 1989, public bodies subject to the Act which conduct business under exemptions specified in the Act must, at least every six months, determine whether the need for confidentiality still exists with respect to each item considered under such exemption. Atached are copies of the minutes of the executive sessions of June through September 1991, and previously unreleased items from November 1990, through May 1991. The university counsel and the secretary of the board, after consultation with appropriate administrative officers, have recommended that certain items considered in the periods covered should retain their confidential status, e.g., items of land acquisition in November 1990, January, February, June, July, and September of 1991; personnel matters in May 1991; pending litigation in June and September 1991; and that all other items considered in those sessions be released to the public. (Attached materials are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) The further recommend that the president of the University be authorized to release those items retaining confidential status as soon as the need for such confidentiality no longer exists.

On motion of Mr. Boyle, these recommendations were approved. Contracts, North Wall, Memorial Stadium, Urbana
