At the July 14 meeting the Selectmen voted to enter a nonpublic session citing RSA 91-A:3, II(c) and later voted to seal the nonpublic minutes; roll-call votes were recorded as Yes by all three members present.

At their July 14 meeting the Sugar Hill Selectmen voted to enter a nonpublic session citing RSA 91-A:3, II(c), which permits closed sessions for matters that could harm a person’s reputation if discussed publicly.

Selectman Richard Bielefield made the motion to enter nonpublic session; Selectman Chris Ellms seconded. A roll-call vote was recorded and the board moved to nonpublic at 5:45 p.m. The minutes record the statutory citation as the foundation for the closed session.

After the closed session, Selectman Rusty Talbot moved to seal the nonpublic minutes "because it is determined that divulgence of this information likely would render a proposed action ineffective," seconded by Selectman Chris Ellms. Roll-call votes to seal the minutes were recorded as Yes by Richard Bielefield, Chris Ellms and Rusty Talbot. The board then voted to leave nonpublic session and adjourn at 5:55 p.m.

The minutes do not disclose the subject matter discussed in nonpublic; the board recorded the statutory basis for closing the session and the subsequent seal vote.
