Is there any law or policy that prohibits discussion of specific personnel in meetings like that? I wasn't sure when I heard them allude to discussing personnel in closed session.

It's the reverse of what you describe. They can talk about these things in public or they can talk about them in closed session. There's probably some need to discuss certain issues like litigation or personnel issues in closed session - and they are allowed to do so under the OMA. But there is nothing specifically preventing them from discussing this topic in public.
