CEO Carlos Migoya said in the report that the meeting was private because “we don’t want our competitors to know what we’re planning.”
Florida’s Sunshine law requires public access to government records and meetings. However, a specific exemption allows public hospitals to close a meeting involving a strategic plan if “the disclosure of [the strategic plan] would be reasonably likely to be used by a competitor to frustrate, circumvent or exploit the purpose of the plan before it is implemented,” according to the report.
A court reporter will transcribe the meeting, and a transcript of the meeting will be available to the public in no later than three years.
