§ 6.7. Executive session.

The city council may hold an executive session upon an affirmative vote of two-thirds of its members present, taken at an open meeting for which a public notice has been given. The executive session shall be limited to matters allowed by law. In no case shall any binding action be taken in an executive session. A request for an executive session must be made by a councilmember or an official of the City of Slidell with a councilmember's concurrence. A written and signed statement shall be submitted to the council through its council/chairman president, in the format attached hereto and made a part thereof by reference, and shall serve as the agenda for the executive session. In the event one or more members of the council calls for a point of order in executive session, the president of the council shall rule whether the matter is pertinent to the executive session agenda. If the councilmember or members raising the point of order do not agree to the ruling, the executive session shall then be adjourned and a vote shall be taken in the open meeting to determine if such a matter is in order.
