	(b)  A meeting of the board is open to the public, except that a meeting, or portion of a meeting, in which the board considers an application for an installment contract, loan, or a change in terms of a contract or loan, or considers a subject listed in AS 44.62.310(c), will be held in executive session. The public portion of any meeting will be recorded and a summary will be incorporated into the minutes of that meeting.

The notice will provide the date, time, place of meeting, purpose of the meeting, and the location of any teleconferencing facilities that will be used. Notice of meetings will also be posted on the Alaska Online Public Notice System and at the board's principal office.  
	(e)  Notice of an emergency public meeting will be published by the board as provided for under (d) of this section if the board determines that sufficient time is available.
