Committee votes to enter executive session to discuss disposition of real property
Summary
The committee voted to enter executive session under Maine law to discuss disposition of real property for economic development; a roll call recorded affirmative votes by Councilor Fisch, Councilor Haas, Councilor Wenard and Councilor Mauer.
A committee member moved that the Economic Development Committee enter executive session under 1 M.R.S. §405(6)(C) to discuss disposition of real property for economic development. A second was recorded.
The chair called for a roll‑call vote. Councilor Fisch, Councilor Haas, Councilor Wenard and Councilor Mauer each voted yes, and the chair announced the committee was in executive session.
Why it matters: 1 M.R.S. §405(6)(C) authorizes executive sessions to discuss disposition of real property when public discussion could disadvantage the municipality’s bargaining position; the committee’s recorded vote authorized a closed session to discuss the matter further.
