During the July 17 meeting the chair requested a motion to consider entering a closed executive session to determine whether the board should meet in executive session to discuss residency appeal matters and potential litigation. A motion was made and the chair announced she needed a motion for consideration; the transcript reflects the procedural request and that a motion was sought.

The item matters because executive session discussions are confidential and relate to ongoing personnel or legal matters that the board may need to resolve outside public view. The chair also announced the next regular meeting date and said Mr. Chase would return to inform the board whether they would enter executive session.

The transcript records the procedural motion to consider closed session but does not record the closed session itself or its outcome in the public minutes. The board scheduled the next meeting for Aug. 7 at 3:00 p.m.
