Yarmouth ZBA enters executive session under chapter 38 section 21 a 3 to discuss litigation
Summary
At the start of its May 8 meeting the Yarmouth Zoning Board of Appeals entered executive session pursuant to chapter 38 section 21 a 3 to discuss litigation related to petition 5024 (property referenced in the transcript); the board returned to open session later in the evening.
The Yarmouth Zoning Board of Appeals entered executive session at the start of its May 8 meeting under the authority cited in the agenda as "chapter 38 section 21 a 3" to discuss litigation related to petition 5024 concerning a property referenced in the meeting materials. The board returned to open session later in the meeting.
Chairman Sean Igoe read the executive-session language from the posted agenda, saying it was anticipated the board would go into executive session pursuant to "chapter 38 section 21 a 3 to discuss litigation relating to petition 5024." The transcript identifies the property in that motion as related to a unit address referenced in the agenda materials.
The chair said that meeting in open session could have a detrimental effect on the position of the board and called for a motion. A motion to enter executive session was made, seconded and approved by unanimous roll call; the chair declared the board was in executive session. The meeting resumed in open session later; no substantive details of the executive session discussion were disclosed in open session.
Because the board conducted the litigation discussion in executive session, no additional record of the discussion is available in the open transcript.
