Board follows state's attorney recommendation to retain executive minutes, destroy older audio
During the annual review of executive‑session minutes, counsel representing the state's attorney's office recommended that previously held minutes remain confidential because the need for confidentiality persists. Counsel also recommended destruction of executive‑session audio recordings that are more than two years old, except for recordings tied to pending litigation. The board asked for comments, received none, and carried the motion to follow counsel's recommendation.

The transcript records the counsel recommendation and that the motion carried; it does not include roll‑call vote tallies or any specific list of recordings to be destroyed. The transcript notes the exception for recordings relating to pending litigation.
