(I have added the text of the law and inserted it into the agenda below)

To consult with an attorney employed or retained by the public body in order to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the attorney and the public body, which privilege is hereby acknowledged. General policy matters may not be discussed in a closed session and nothing herein shall be construed to permit a public body to close a meeting that otherwise would be open merely because an attorney employed or retained by the public body is a participant. The public body may consider and give instructions to an attorney concerning the handling or settlement of a claim, judicial action, mediation, arbitration, or administrative procedure. If the public body has approved or considered a settlement, other than a malpractice settlement by or on behalf of a hospital, in closed session, the terms of that settlement shall be reported to the public body and entered into its minutes as soon as possible within a reasonable time after the settlement is concluded.

14.Adjourn/Recess

PRESS KIT/COMMISSIONER AGENDA

This is the press kit that the clerk of the Board of Commissioners mails out to each county commissioner and member of the press before the meeting takes place so that commissioners and the members of the press will know what is to be discussed at the meeting. Macon Media is currently the only member of the local press that shares this information with the general public.
