The board approved a motion under agenda item 13 to go into executive session to discuss the character and professional competence of individuals and pending or reasonably imminent litigation. Members provided a voice vote in favor and the meeting recessed briefly to set up the closed session.
The request for the executive session was made on the record at the start of the item; the transcript records a speaker asking for a motion that "the board go into executive session for the purpose of discussing the character, professional competence, and pending or reasonably imminent litigation."

The transcript also includes the phrase "Mount Hyannis is a yes," which appears in the record but is unclear in spelling or identification. The record shows the clerk or chair asked whether Member Carey was present; no vote for Carey is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
The board paused the public meeting "for a few minutes" while the executive session was set up and then recessed from the public portion of the meeting. The transcript excerpt provided does not record what occurred inside the executive session or any subsequent actions taken after the closed session.
