Executive Sessions in MuniMins

MuniMins processes your entire recording, including executive sessions and closed portions of meetings. You control what appears in the final minutes.

Recording Executive Sessions

Keep recording through executive sessions. MuniMins will transcribe them like any other part of the meeting.

Editing Out Sensitive Content

After processing, when you review your minutes:

  1. Click Edit on the minutes.
  2. Delete or redact content from executive sessions that shouldn't be public (personnel matters, real estate negotiations, etc.).
  3. You can leave a note like "[Executive session discussion removed per state law]" if you want to indicate content was discussed.
  4. Save your changes.

What to Keep, What to Remove

The rules vary by state, but generally:

Keep: Votes taken in executive session, outcomes of decisions, approval of actions taken.

Remove: Specific details of personnel matters, strategy for pending litigation, real estate negotiations, personal information.

Consult your municipality's legal counsel if you're unsure what to redact.

Recording Notes

If you want to make notes about what was in an executive session without including details, you can add a line like: "Executive Session: [Topic] — [Outcome or action taken]"
