On June 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM, the Frederick City Council convened in City Hall for a public meeting that immediately moved into closed session. The council voted unanimously to enter closed session at 3:15 PM to discuss cybersecurity matters, citing the Maryland Code General Provisions Article 3-305(b)(15), which allows closed sessions when public discussion would constitute a risk to security assessments, deployments, or implementation of security measures.
Good afternoon. I would like to ask the council to convene any closed session in accordance with the authority granted under the INATED Code of Maryland General Provisions Article Three Zero Five B fifteen to discuss cybersecurity. If the public body determines the public discussion would constitute a risk to security assessments or deployments relating to information requests, resources technology, network security information, or deployments or implementation of security personnel, critical infrastructure, or security devices. Do I have a motion? So moved. A motion has been made by Council Vice President Shacklet, and seconded by Council Member Kazemchak to convene to a closed session at three fifteen.
