Bridgton Select Board enters executive session to consult with code officer, then adjourns

The Bridgton Select Board convened a special meeting April 13 and, after confirming a quorum and conducting the pledge of allegiance, voted to enter an executive session under 1 M.R.S.A. chapter 4056‑H for consultation with the town code officer on pending issues.

The chair opened the meeting and noted the time was running behind at about 3:20 p.m. During roll call the chair said Richard and Scott were absent; Phil and Sue responded present. The chair then asked Carolyn, a select board member, to lead the Pledge of Allegiance; Carolyn recited the pledge.

With a quorum present, the chair announced the board would move into an executive session "in accordance to 1 MRSA chapter 4056H," describing the purpose as consultation with the code officer on pending matters.
