Select Board places employee on administrative leave after executive session
Summary
The South Thomaston Select Board voted to place an employee on administrative leave effective immediately following executive-session consultations with legal counsel; the board said it could not discuss the substance of the personnel matter in public. The board then moved into a further executive session to continue deliberations.
The South Thomaston Select Board voted unanimously to place an employee on administrative leave effective immediately following an executive session, the board recorded.
Board members said they had consulted with legal counsel during closed session and that the board could not disclose the details publicly. A board member moved for administrative leave and the motion was seconded; the vote was recorded in the meeting as John: yes, Sue: yes and Jeff: yes.
Public commenters asked how town facilities — specifically the library/community center — would be staffed the following day. The board said Select Board member Sue would coordinate coverage and the advisory committee would assist in staffing while the board manages the personnel matter.
The board announced it would go back into executive session later in the meeting to continue personnel deliberations, citing a personnel-matter exemption (the minutes record the board referencing "4056A"). No further personnel details were disclosed at the public meeting.
The board did not identify the employee in public session and said details remain confidential under executive-session rules; any subsequent personnel actions will be announced in accordance with applicable law and board policy.
