For example the September 4 2008 Special Meeting Minutes indicated that the Board held an Executive Session meeting from 12 30 pm to 1 00pm to discuss litigation the sale of the District s back property personnel and the 2009 Budget. On a motion unanimously approved at the regular meeting which immediately followed the Executive Session the 2009 budget was approved for submission to the Town of Hempstead. Further the District was unable to provide us with a copy of a budget package or any other data that was used for discussion of the budget. A review of Board minutes in the 4 months prior to September did not contain any mention that the budget was reviewed. The Commissioners did not comply with New York State Public Officers Law17 which provides that only limited matters such as those that imperil public safety relate to litigation or property or to personnel may be included in Executive Session. When we met with the Commissioners GSS former GSS and Accountant to discuss our preliminary findings related to evidence of budget reviews review of budget transfers lease buy decision making for specific vehicles and the acquisition and disposition of certain fixed assets we were advised that these matters were discussed at length in Executive Sessions of special meetings for which brief minutes only existed. We found that special meetings generally ranged from only 10 to 30 minutes in length. Discussion of these topics in Executive Session is not permissible under the New York State Public Officers Law. Audit Recommendations The District should ensure that a check dates and numbers for each invoice approved for payment be included with the Board .
