Motion to Close - NOTE: The Council will not return to open session. HCC-411-FY20 I move that the Mayor and Council close the Council Meeting of June 4, 2020 to discuss personnel matters, discuss an investigative proceeding, and consult with staff about potential litigation. The reasons for closing the meeting under these exceptions are to maintain legally required confidentiality regarding personnel information, an ongoing investigation, and pending litigation. I move that the Mayor and Council find that public discussion of the number of police officers on patrol at a given time during any shift and the reasons therefore, constitutes a risk to public safety or to public security. *** Upon the approval of the first part of the motion*** I move that the Council meeting of June 4, 2020, be closed on the additional basis that public discussion of the deployment of police services constitutes a risk to public safety or to public security. The meeting will not return to open session. This session will be closed under the authority of the Annotated Code of Maryland State Government General Provisions Article Section 3-305(b)(1) To discuss the appointment, employment, assignment, promotion, discipline, demotion, compensation, removal, resignation, or performance evaluation of appointees, employees, or officials over whom this public body has jurisdiction; any other personnel matter that affects one or more specific individuals; 3-305(b)(8) consult with staff, consultants, or other individuals about pending or potential litigation; 3-305(b)(10) To discuss public security, if the public body determines that public discussion would constitute a risk to the public or to public security, including: (i) the deployment of fire and police services and staff; and (ii) the development and implementation of emergency plans; and 3-305(b)(12) to discuss an investigative proceeding involving actual or possible criminal conduct.
