Town of Stratford returns from executive session and promptly adjourns

An unidentified member moved to return the meeting from executive session and the motion was approved by voice vote, according to the meeting transcript of the Town of Stratford. The body then took a motion to adjourn that was seconded and approved by voice vote, and the meeting was closed.

The motion to leave executive session was introduced with the words, “Mister chairman, I make a motion that we return from executive session.” A voice vote followed; those presiding said “Aye,” and no opposition was recorded in the transcript excerpt. After the chair announced the body was back in open session and moved to the next agenda item, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the seconder was identified as Miss Whittum and the meeting was declared adjourned.

The transcript excerpt captures only the procedural actions: a motion to end executive session, the chair’s announcement that the body was back in open session and moved on to agenda item No. 8, and a subsequent motion and second to adjourn. The record does not include the date of the meeting, the names or titles of the members who moved to end the executive session or who made the motion to adjourn beyond the references in the excerpt, nor any substantive deliberation or votes on ordinances, resolutions, or other agenda items in the provided portion of the transcript.

No formal roll-call vote totals, motions on ordinances, or other substantive decisions appear in the supplied transcript excerpt. The meeting segment ends with the presiding officer saying, “Any opposed? We stand adjourned.”
