Select board moves to executive session on sheriff contract and votes to send a counteroffer
Summary
The Bennington Select Board entered executive session on the Bennington County sheriff contract for contractual discussions and, after the closed session, voted to send a counteroffer to the sheriff's office; the board said possible action may follow.
The Bennington Select Board on June 25 moved into an executive session to continue contractual discussions with the Bennington County Sheriff's Department and later voted to send a counteroffer.
A motion to enter executive session "for contractual reasons to discuss this sheriff's department" was made, seconded and approved, and the board met in closed session. Afterward, a motion to send a counteroffer on the sheriff's contract was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the board noted that there may be possible action after the executive session.
The public record at the June 25 meeting does not disclose the counteroffer terms. The board recorded the motions and votes on the public record, but did not provide a detailed tally of votes or the content of the proposed counteroffer at the time of adjournment. The clerk will include next steps and any formal documents on a future agenda as required by municipal practice.
