The county board voted unanimously to follow the state's attorney's office recommendation that previously held executive session minutes remain confidential because the need for confidentiality still exists, and that executive-session audio recordings older than two years be destroyed except for recordings that relate to pending litigation.

A representative for the state's attorney's office presented the recommendation to the board, explaining the retention and destruction criteria. The board asked no substantive questions and approved the motion as presented.

The action preserves confidentiality for executive sessions where continuing confidentiality was deemed necessary while clearing stored audio recordings older than two years that are not tied to ongoing litigation.
