Ms. Paterson

REFERENCE: Crisis mode should not change the basic rules of government transparency.
 Apr 2, 2020

In Carmel, City Council went into closed session to discuss a “threat to public services.” That threat, it turns out, is to the city’s bottom line: With so many hotels and businesses closed right now, tax revenue to the city has plummeted and, Mayor Dave Potter tells me, the city might have to consider layoffs because of it.
Closed-session meetings are normally reserved for a few things: property negotiations, litigation, personnel matters. Budget prospects are none of those.
It’s an improper use of closed session, says First Amendment Coalition Executive Director David Snyder. The “threat to public services” exemption is meant for things like a potential threats to public buildings or public utilities, so an agency’s plan on how to protect things remains private
