Trustees enter nonpublic personnel session and vote to seal minutes
Summary
During the June 16 meeting trustees entered a nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3, II(a) to discuss personnel, returned to public session, and voted 5-0 to seal the nonpublic minutes.
The Jaffrey Public Library Trustees voted June 16 to enter a nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3, II(a) to discuss personnel matters. Carol Greenwald moved to enter nonpublic session and Emily Carr seconded; a roll call recorded all five trustees voting yes and the board entered nonpublic session at 3:52 p.m.
Trustees later voted to exit the nonpublic session; Emily Carr moved to exit and Deb Weissman seconded, with a roll call again recording all five trustees voting yes. Nonpublic session ended at 4:16 p.m. After returning to public session, Carol Greenwald moved to seal the minutes of the nonpublic session and Emily Carr seconded; the motion carried 5-0.
Why it matters: RSA 91-A allows municipalities to hold nonpublic sessions for personnel matters; sealing minutes restricts public access to the nonpublic minutes. The minutes record the statutory citation and the motions and roll-call outcomes, but do not describe the personnel discussion or the reasons for sealing beyond the statutory citation.
Next steps: The nonpublic minutes were ordered sealed by trustee vote; the minutes do not record additional public-facing outcomes or directives stemming from the nonpublic session.
