may negotiate unless we have established these limits.
It would certainly not be in the best interests of the
community and the public funds that we are about to expend
if we didn't have this Executive session, and if. the
public and the person with whom we were going to negotiate
knew what our outside limit were. Now if some of this
board would ever have this kind of function, then of
course there is no reason that they should not have
Executive sessions, but it seems to me that Executive
sessions 'should be allowed, but only on a very limited
specialized circumstance. That is what I would assume would
occur.
I think it is unrealistic when you have a board
of three, to assume that if you put a requirement in that
there will always be public sessions, that they will not,
whether by phone or otherwise discuse some of these issues
and what I think you are doing, in let's say in the words
of purity, you are causing people to do things that they
would not otherwise do, and they are doing it perhaps
really with the best motives in order to protect the best
interests of the State.
