Town of Middletown council recesses to executive session to discuss collective bargaining, potential litigation
Summary
The Town of Middletown Council voted unanimously to recess its open meeting and convene an executive session to discuss collective bargaining and potential litigation; the meeting record cites specific "general law" sections as the legal basis for the closed discussion.
At its meeting, the Town of Middletown Council voted to recess its open session and convene an executive session to discuss collective bargaining and potential litigation.
The motion to recess and reconvene in executive session passed with an affirmative voice vote. The meeting record includes a citation described as "general law sections 42 46 2, 40 2 40 6 4, and 42 46 5 a" and refers to collective bargaining and potential litigation as the subjects for the closed session.
Council members present for the roll call were President Paul M. Roderick; Vice President Thomas P. Welch III; Councilor Peter D. Connorton Sr.; Councilor Christopher M. Logan; Councilor Charles R. Roberts; Councilor Dennis V. Toronto; and Councilor Barbara Avon Villas. The meeting record shows the assembly moved immediately to the executive-session agenda item after the pledge of allegiance and a brief procedural exchange.
The transcript records the motion language and the vote. The meeting record states, verbatim: "Number 1, executive session, pursuant revisions rely on general law sections 42 46 2, 40 2 40 6 4, and 42 46 5 a, collective bar 2 collective bargaining council 90 4, 2 collective bargaining FOP, 2 potential litigation, review discussion, and a potential vote and or potential action and or vote in executive session and or an open session. Motion recess open session, reconvene in executive session." The record then notes the motion was seconded and reports, "All in favor. Aye."
The transcript does not record any substantive public discussion of the collective bargaining terms or litigation matters in open session, and no further actions or outcomes were recorded in the public portion of the transcript provided here. The council moved into executive session; the public record in this transcript ends before any return to open session or public disclosure of executive-session results.
Because the legal citations and some phrasing in the meeting record are presented as spoken text, the article quotes them as recorded rather than interpreting or correcting statutory references.
