We have a situation where the City Council wants to meet in Executive Session to discuss initiating a claim against a local 501C3 Foundation which owes funds to the City which 1) were improperly deposited into the 501C3 account without a vote of the City Council; and 2) other funds which were owed to the City by the Foundation by Contract. One of our Council members is also on the board of the 501C3 entity so he/she would have a possible conflict. Can the Council vote to go into Executive Session, but exclude the member who is also on the 501C3 Board? Roger Rinehart RINEHART LAW OFFICE A Professional Corporation 115 S. Rock Island Avenue P.O.
