Stockbridge council holds closed session, then declines action on SDDA budget
Summary
The council entered a closed session to review an attorney’s opinion, reconvened, and by motion chose not to take action on the SDDA budget; the minutes note times for closure and reopening but do not include a roll-call vote on the SDDA motion.
The Village of Stockbridge council moved into a closed session at 7:28 P.M. to review an attorney’s opinion and reconvened at 7:58 P.M., according to the minutes of the June 2 special meeting.
President Ogden made the motion to close the session, supported by Cattel. The minutes record the reconvening motion (moved by Cattel, supported by Fairbothom) and also record a subsequent motion (moved by Cattel, supported by Howlett) that the council "not take action towards SDDA Budget." The minutes do not record a roll-call vote for the SDDA-budget motion.
Why it matters: The closed session suggests the council reviewed confidential legal advice; after discussion, the council opted not to take action on the SDDA budget in that meeting. The minutes do not disclose the attorney’s opinion or the content of the closed-session discussion, consistent with confidentiality rules.
The meeting then moved to adjournment at 8:20 P.M. No public comment on agenda items was recorded for this session.
