Open Meetings Act; R.C. 121.22; App.R. 16; App.R. 12; public meeting; executive session; summary judgment; presumption of regularity; executive session. The trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to the appellees. The appellant did not show a genuine issue of material fact that the appellees violated Ohio's Open Meetings Act. Appellant could not overcome the presumption of regularity that the appellees properly performed their duties. Appellant failed to present evidence that the Board discussed any improper subjects in executive session, failed to keep adequate meeting minutes, or failed to follow the proper procedure to enter executive session. Appellant did not show that the appellees improperly retained counsel, and there was no evidence that appellees ever formed a special committee to investigate him.
