meetings
Can a council hold a closed meeting regarding the revision of the counties salaries?
Re: meetings
It depends on the circumstances. Under Maryland's open meetings act, if a quorum of a public body meets to discuss the public's business, the meeting must be open. But there are exceptions and exemptions that might apply. A meeting including a broader discussion of salaries in the context of the budget, for example, should probably be open. A discussion about specific salaries of specific individuals might be covered by an exception. I've handled several open meetings act cases and would be happy to discuss your situation in more detail.
