Bd. of Commissioners of Danville v. Advocate Commc'ns, Inc. 61.805, 61.810 Court of appeals properly found that the exception to open meetings related to the acquisition of real property did not apply because a board of commissioners went into closed session to discuss its intention to bid on real property offered for sale pursuant to an absolute auction, an auction without reserve; the board's post-auction approvals, while public, were window-dressing because the city was already compelled to complete the purchase or answer a complaint for specific performance. Bd. of Comm'rs of Danville v. Advocate Communs., 527 S.W.3d 803, 2017 Ky. LEXIS 501 (Ky. 2017). Link
Jefferson Cty. Bd. of Ed. v. Courier-Journal 61.810 In order to fully comply with subsection (2) of this section and KRS 61.815(1) notice of the county board of education of the business intended to be discussed in a closed session should contain information that the board of education intends to conduct an executive session for the purpose of discussing the sale or acquisition of real property and that the reason for privacy is due to the fact that publicity at the deliberation stage might be likely to affect the value instead of merely saying that the business to be discussed was “property and negotiations.” Jefferson County Board of Education v. Courier-Journal, 551 S.W.2d 25, 1977 Ky. App. LEXIS 693 (Ky. Ct. App. 1977). Link
Jefferson Cty. Bd. of Ed. v. Courier-Journal 61.810 Notice given in open meeting preparatory to closed session that the closed meeting would be held to discuss “property and negotiations” was not sufficient compliance with the requirement of notice of subsection (1) of KRS 61.815 for the term “property” fails to reveal whether it is real or personal, for purchase or for sale or whether publicity would affect its value.
