Selectboard holds executive session on personnel, votes to issue ethics warning for appointed-board violations
Summary
After entering executive session under M.R.S.A. Title 1 §405(6)(A) to discuss a personnel matter, the Selectboard exited and voted 4-0 to issue a warning to members who violate the Code of Ethics for selectboard-appointed boards.
The Skowhegan Selectboard entered executive session on Jan. 13 under M.R.S.A. Title 1 §405(6)(A) to discuss a personnel matter and then reconvened in public to take action.
After exiting the executive session, the board voted unanimously to issue a warning to members who violate the Code of Ethics for selectboard-appointed boards. The minutes record the motion and a 4-0 vote; no further detail about the personnel matter or the identity of the warned members was included in the minutes.
Chair and board members did not provide additional public detail at the meeting about the personnel matter or the grounds for the warning; the minutes identify the executive-session statutory authority used but do not record any findings or sanctions beyond the warning motion.
The action concludes the board’s closed discussion at this meeting; the minutes show no subsequent disciplinary steps were taken.
