Votes at a glance: New Shoreham Council — closed session, sealed minutes, authorization to draft contracts
Summary
At its June 4 work session the New Shoreham Town Council took three formal procedural votes: to enter a closed session, to seal the closed-session minutes, and to authorize the town manager to pursue drafting employment contracts with three named officials for review. The council set no policy changes tied to those votes at the public meeting.
The New Shoreham Town Council recorded three formal procedural actions at its June 4 work session.
1) Closed session: The council voted to convene a closed session under the terms cited at the meeting. The motion was seconded and the ayes carried. The meeting minutes from the closed session were later sealed.
2) Seal closed-session minutes: After returning from closed session, the council voted to seal the closed-session minutes. The motion carried by voice vote.
3) Authorization to pursue contract drafting: At the conclusion of the closed session, the council authorized the town manager to move forward to pursue drafting contracts with the town manager (administrative role as referenced), the director of administration/town clerk (Billy McGinnis) and the finance director (Mona Halterla) for review. The council authorized the town manager to proceed with that drafting; members moved, seconded and the ayes carried.
Votes were taken by voice and the council stated the results in the meeting. No council action to adopt or execute employment contracts occurred at the public meeting; the authorization directed staff to pursue drafting documents for future consideration.
(Procedural note: the public transcript records the council’s voice votes; the official minute tallies and sealed minutes are in the council’s record.)
