A governmental body may hold a closed session only by affirmative public vote of either two-thirds of the members of the body or all of the members present at the meeting. A governmental body may hold a closed session only to the extent a closed session is necessary for specific reasons. The reason for holding a closed session must be announced and entered in the official minutes. A roll-call vote must be taken and the minutes must show how each member voted.
Final action by any governmental body on any matter shall be taken in an open session unless some other provision of the Code expressly permits such actions to be taken in closed session.
A governmental body shall keep detailed minutes of all discussion, persons present, and action occurring at a closed session, and shall also tape record all of the closed session. The detailed minutes and tape recording of a closed session shall be sealed and shall not be public records open to public inspection.
Nothing in this section requires a governmental body to hold a closed session to discuss or act upon any matter.
