The Knox County Commission voted 3-0 on Feb. 1, 2025, to enter two executive sessions to discuss personnel matters, then reconvened and adjourned the public meeting.
Commissioner 1, a Knox County commissioner, opened the meeting and said, “We are recording. I will call this, what's today's date? Tuesday, 02/01/2025 meeting of the Knox County Commission to order. I see that all 3 of us are present. We have a agenda, and as with always, we open it up to any public comment.” Commissioner 1 said there were no members of the public to speak.
Commissioner 2 moved to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters “pursuant to 1 MRSA 40568,” the statute cited in the meeting transcript; the motion passed by voice vote with three in favor and none opposed. Commissioner 1 said the commission would not take any votes during the executive sessions.
