Boonville Executive sessions ordinance (§ 2-148)

(a) Whenever any information permitted to be held in executive session is received from the mayor, the room shall be cleared of all persons except the members, the clerk, and the sergeant at arms, and shall be so continued during the reading of such information, and unless otherwise decided by the council during all debates and proceedings to be held thereon.

(b) When the president or any member shall inform the council that he has a communication to make, which he conceives ought to be made in executive session, the council shall, in like manner, cause the room to be cleared until the communication is made; the council shall then determine whether the matter communicated requires executive session and take action accordingly.
