OAG 82-341 is cited to support the position that conducting a 'straw vote' or informal vote during a closed session does not constitute a violation of the Open Meetings Act, provided that any final action is taken in an open session and the votes are recorded in the minutes. This citation is used to establish that the informal votes taken by the board were within legal bounds as they were not final actions and were followed by a formal vote in an open session.
