While most governmental meetings are open to the public, closed sessions may be held under Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) 120/2 (c), which allows exceptions to the open meeting rules. Personnel matters, collective bargaining, buying or leasing property and litigation are among the exceptions that allow closed meetings.
After the board completed its discussion on the two agenda items covered by ILCS 120/2 (c) (1) and 120/2 (c) (5), the meeting was adjourned.
