Board approves Jan. 24 minutes; Chair moves to enter executive session
Summary
During the Feb. 20 Gardner City Board of Assessors meeting members approved the Jan. 24 meeting minutes; the Chair also moved to enter executive session citing General Law Chapter 30A, Section 21(a)(7), but the transcript does not record the outcome of that motion.
The Gardner City Board of Assessors approved the minutes of its Jan. 24 meeting during the Feb. 20 session after a motion and a second; the transcript records the motion, a second and that the minutes were "approved," but it does not include a vote tally.
Later in the meeting the Chair (name not specified) announced a motion to enter executive session "under general law chapter 30 A, sections 21 a 7, to comply with or act under the authority of any general law, not to return to open session upon adjournment." The Chair said, "I will make a motion to enter into executive session, not to return to," but the provided transcript ends before any vote or outcome on that motion is recorded.
The transcript does not provide a formal vote roll call or tally for the minutes approval, nor does it record whether the executive-session motion passed. The statute cited in the announcement appears in the meeting text as "general law chapter 30 a, sections 21 a 7."
