Summary

The Board entered non-public session under RSA 91-A:3 II(a) and II(l) and later voted unanimously to seal the non-public minutes for five years, citing potential adverse effects from divulgence; the minutes were sealed upon reconvening.

At 10:43 a.m. on April 13 the Merrimack County Board of Commissioners voted to enter a non-public session under RSA 91-A:3 II(a) (personnel) and II(l) (legal). Commissioner Lovlien moved to enter non-public, Commissioner Shurtleff seconded, and roll-call votes were all 'Yes.'

Chair Trachy reconvened the public session at 11:10 a.m. The Board then voted unanimously to seal the non-public minutes for five years on the basis that divulgence could adversely affect the reputation of a person other than a Board member or render the proposed action ineffective. The minutes were sealed in a roll-call vote of 3–0.

No further detail was released in the public minutes about the subjects addressed in non-public session.
