At the Oct. 16 meeting the Glocester Town Council voted to enter a closed executive session to discuss collective bargaining and pending or potential litigation. The motion cited Rhode Island statute governing executive sessions and listed litigation matters including West Foster LLC v. Jessica Parker in her capacity as tax assessor (administrative tax appeals concerning assessments for tax years 2024 and 2025) as items for discussion.

The clerk conducted a roll call for the motion; councilors voted in favor and the meeting recessed to closed session for attorney-client and bargaining/litigation discussion. The council did not take public action on those items at the Oct. 16 open meeting.

No minutes of the executive session discussion were included in the public record at the time the meeting adjourned.
