Subcommittee votes to enter executive session to discuss security deployments
Summary
The subcommittee voted unanimously to enter executive session under Massachusetts law to discuss security personnel, device deployments and related strategies.
The Fall River City Technology Subcommittee on June 5 voted to go into executive session to discuss the deployment of security personnel, devices and related strategies, citing Massachusetts General Law chapter 30A, section 21(a)(4).
A motion to enter executive session was made, seconded and carried by recorded vote. The chair called the roll for the executive session entry; the transcript records affirmative votes and states that Miss Larrie was absent. The transcript does not disclose the substance of the executive session.
Why it matters: The statute cited allows public bodies to meet in closed session to consider the deployment of security personnel or devices; the subcommittee used that provision to discuss security measures. The committee recorded the vote to enter executive session and convened into closed session at the end of the public meeting.
Speakers on the motion included the subcommittee chair and members Mister Bailey and Mister Agathe, who joined the roll call. No further public detail was provided in the transcript about the security discussion because it occurred in executive session.
