DRAFT <br />10/12/17 <br />requesting the executive session. Those in attendance may then <br />discuss the propriety of the executive session. <br />6. Before any discussion on the merits of any topic in the executive <br />session, the City Attorney or other attorney representing the City shall <br />give an opinion as to the propriety of the executive session and shall <br />provide guidelines as to the limitations that apply to the discussion. <br />7. At any time, any participant may object to the continuation of the <br />executive session. Upon the making of such objection, all discussion <br />shall cease, and the Council shall reconvene in an open session for the <br />purpose of determining the propriety of continuing the executive <br />session. An affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the entire Council <br />shall be required to continue the executive session. <br />8. Upon completion of the executive session, the Council shall reconvene <br />in an open session. The person who requested the executive session <br />shall provide as detailed an explanation as allowed by law without <br />disclosing any confidential matter or any matter which would adversely <br />affect the City's interests, and shall announce what procedure, if any, <br />will follow from the executive session. <br />9. Discussions that occur in executive session shall be recorded, and <br />access to the record shall be provided, in the manner and to the extent <br />provided in the State statutes concerning open meetings and the State <br />statutes concerning open records. <br />F. SOCIAL GATHERINGS: Social gatherings, at which the discussion of <br />public business is not the central purpose, are not subject to any of <br />these Rules or other meeting requirements. <br />G. RESCHEDULING: The Council may reschedule meetings for dates and <br />times outside its regular meeting schedule to avoid holidays, elections, and <br />other matters, to achieve a quorum, or to allow for additional time for a <br />meeting. To reschedule such meetings, the Council first must provide <br />notice and approve of the proposal to reschedule. Notice to reschedule a <br />meeting may be given on any regular or special meeting agenda. <br />H. CANCELLATION: Any scheduled meeting may be cancelled by the Mayor <br />with the consent of three (3) Councilmembers in the event unforeseen <br />emergent conditions exist which make conduct of the impractical (for <br />example, in the case of power outage) or travel to the meeting unduly <br />hazardous (for example, in the case of blizzard conditions). In the event of <br />such cancellation, all agenda items for such meeting shall not abate but <br />shall be deemed continued to next regular meeting of the Council. <br />Louisville City Council Rules of Procedure page 5 <br />adopted <br />
