The Community Mental Health of Ottawa County board approved the Oct. 24 meeting agenda and the consent agenda, and later voted to meet in closed session to consider a legal opinion.

A motion to approve the agenda was made and passed by voice vote. The board then moved to approve the consent items; because the packet included financial items, the consent approval was conducted by roll call. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from the directors present: Director Van Hoven, Director Duff, Director Wick, Director Juritzma, Director Fockler, Director Davis, Director Van der Zwag, Director Wenzel, Director Bunce and Chair Bird. The board chair announced the motion carried.

For new business, the board approved a motion to meet in closed session under Section 8(a) of the Michigan Open Meetings Act to consider material exempt from public disclosure (legal opinion). The motion passed on a roll call vote in which the directors recorded affirmative votes (the roll call recorded "Yes" from the directors present). The board recessed to an adjoining conference room for the closed session and reconvened later.

Provenance: Agenda approval at 1335.99; consent roll call recorded starting at 1392.87; motion and roll call to enter closed session at 4848.05–4893.57.
