A commissioner moved to enter nonpublic session "in pursuant to RSA 91‑A" to discuss dismissal, promotion, compensation or discipline of public employees as allowed by state law; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Mello and the commission voted in favor. The public record shows the commission then took a roll call for entry into nonpublic session; the commissioners present voted yes and Commissioner Davis was recorded as absent.
