Any thoughts would be appreciated. Does the term "individual salaried public officer" include a board member of a public trust, when that board member does not receive any salary? The City is aldermanic, and the Council will be appointing a person to fill a vacancy on a public trust. The City is the beneficiary of this Trust.  So, the question is ultimately whether the City Council may go into executive session for this issue. One AG opinion states: Opinion No. 92-23 (1992) (Okla.Atty.Gen. Nov. 24, 1992) " ¶ 5 Your question thus appears to be answered directly by the provisions of 307 of the Open Meeting Act. Although your question specifically addresses individuals appointed to fill a vacancy in an elective county office, we find that the provision of 307 allowing executive sessions to discuss the appointment of public officials generally is broad enough to include those salaried employees and public officials who are appointed to fill vacancies."
