Agenda is improperly-written
Item #3, “EXECUTIVE SESSION” is wrong because the decision to go into executive session requires a vote. The way this item appears on the agenda, assumed that the outcome of that vote has been fixed in advance. It is logically possible that the Board would vote against going into executive session.
It would be proper to put on the agenda that a motion and vote to go into executive session is expected. The own resolved this issue a decade or more ago, but there seems to be no institutional memory, and no “rules of the road” manual to guide the Board.
typo correct
