Randazzo outlines when executive sessions require more detail on the agenda
Michelle Randazzo reviewed statutory and practical expectations for executive sessions, saying boards should include as much information as possible on the agenda without compromising confidentiality. She noted that for litigation the case name is usually required and for real‑estate transactions the property address is generally listed, though she acknowledged limited exceptions when disclosure would harm negotiation positions.

Randazzo reminded members that votes to enter executive session "have to start in the open" with a roll call and that the chair must announce whether the board intends to reconvene after executive session. She also urged periodic review of executive session minutes to determine whether confidentiality has expired and to bring potential releases to the full board for a vote.
