PULL YOUR MIC DOWN SO I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
MA'AM, BEFORE WE GO IN CLOSED SESSION, I WANNA BE SURE THAT WE ARE COMPLYING WITH OUR OWN POLICY AS WELL AS THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR RECORDING IN CLOSED SESSION.
I NEED TO UNDERSTAND FULLY, BECAUSE IT VARIES WITH OUR CODE OF ETHICS.
IT VARIES, UM, WITH OUR CHARTERS FROM CITY TO CITY, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
SO EXACTLY WHERE DO WE STAND AS A GOVERNING BODY? AND I WANT TO, I WANT TO TALK TO OUR ATTORNEY TO BE SURE WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW, OUR CHARTER, AND OUR CODE OF ETHICS AS FAR AS, UM, TAPING ENCLOSED SESSION.
OUR CITY SECRETARY ACTUALLY IS MANDATED UNDER STATE LAW TO HAVE A CERTIFIED AGENDA OF THE CLOSED MEETING.
THERE ARE SOME CITIES THAT DO PROVIDE FOR THE RECORDING OF THE CLOSED SESSION, BUT NONE OF THAT IS RELEASABLE UNLESS IT'S COURT ORDERED TO BE RELEASED.
AND SO IF THE COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS IS WANTING A RECORDING FOR A POTENTIAL FUTURE COURT ORDER, THEN I WOULD ASK THE CITY'S SECRETARY WHETHER OR NOT SHE HAS ANY MEANS BY WHICH RECORDING THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
AND IF SHE DOES, GREAT, BUT SHE STILL CAN'T RELEASE IT UNLESS IT'S A COURT ORDER.
AND WHEN YOU DID THAT, UH, QUESTION IT WASN'T RHETORICAL, IT WAS FOR AN ANSWER.
CITY SECRETARY SHOOK HER HEAD, WHAT YOUR, YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT CITY? THE SECRETARY.
