Commissioners vote to enter closed session to consult counsel on litigation and appointments
Summary
The board voted unanimously to close the meeting under the Maryland Open Meetings Act to consult counsel about two Harford County Circuit Court cases (C12 CV2600281; C12 CV2501030), a building-permit extension request, and to discuss potential appointments to the vacant town administrator position.
A commissioner moved and another seconded that the public meeting be closed under the Maryland Open Meetings Act (General Provisions Article 3, section 3035 B178) to consult with counsel on pending litigation and to discuss personnel and permit matters.
The chair read the closed-session topics: consultation on Harford County Circuit Court cases C12 CV2600281 (Town of Bair, Maryland versus 121 Southbond Street LLC) and C12 CV2501030 (Harford County Maryland versus Town of Bair Maryland), consideration of a request for extension of the Hickory Flats building permit, and potential appointments to the vacant town administrator position. The stated reason was to protect attorney-client privilege and applicants’ privacy.
The motion passed on a roll-call vote: Commissioner Foss, Commissioner Chismar, Commissioner Taylor, Commissioner Hanley and Chair Eddie all voted "I." The board entered closed session and the public portion of the meeting concluded.
