Closed Sessions. The Board may enter into a closed session during a regular, adjourned regular, special or adjourned special meeting to consider matters as may lawfully be considered in such sessions. Prior to any closed session, the item(s) to be discussed will be disclosed and only those matters covered in such disclosure may be considered in such closed session. Disclosure may take the form of a reference to the item(s) as listed by number or letter on the agenda. Due to the fact that the national and state water, environmental, and political issues are so complex, the Board may find that the participation of the Authority's Directors and their Alternates in closed sessions of the Board meetings is essential in order to allow the Alternate Directors to be able to keep abreast of these matters so that they may vote meaningfully upon issues presented at meetings when they are called on to do so. After a closed session, the Board will report publicly, orally or in writing, any action taken in closed session required to be disclosed, as well as the vote or abstention of every Director present as provided by law.
