The 10-day requirement may be waived at the discretion of the board for good cause.

(3) When the board, in the course of its deliberations, is required to utilize or refer to documents which are exempt from disclosure by law or these rules, the chair shall announce in the preceding open portion of the meeting that the consideration of material which is exempt from discussion or disclosure by law or by these rules is required. The board shall then take a roll call vote on the question of closing the session. Upon the recording of a 2/3 vote of the board to close the session, the board shall go into closed session to discuss and consider the material.
