    67-2345.  EXECUTIVE SESSIONS -- WHEN AUTHORIZED. (1) Nothing contained in
this act shall be construed to prevent, upon a two-thirds (2/3) vote recorded
in the minutes of the meeting by individual vote, a governing body of a public
agency from holding an executive session during any meeting, after the
presiding officer has identified the authorization under this act for the
holding of such executive session. An executive session may be held:
    (a)  To consider hiring a public officer, employee, staff member or
    individual agent. This paragraph does not apply to filling a vacancy in an
    elective office;
    (b)  To consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of, or to hear
    complaints or charges brought against, a public officer, employee, staff
    member or individual agent, or public school student;

    an interest in real property which is not owned by a public agency;
    (d)  To consider records that are exempt from disclosure as provided in
    chapter 3, title 9, Idaho Code;
    (e)  To consider preliminary negotiations involving matters of trade or
    commerce in which the governing body is in competition with governing
    bodies in other states or nations;
    (f)  To consider and advise its legal representatives in pending
    litigation or where there is a general public awareness of probable
    litigation;
    (g)  By the commission of pardons and parole, as provided by law;

side requests closed meetings. Notwithstanding the provisions of section
67-2343, Idaho Code, subsequent sessions of the negotiations may continue
without further public notice.
    (3)  No executive session may be held for the purpose of taking any final
