Selectmen enter nonpublic session under RSA 91‑A:3 II(c) over health/hoarding concern; minutes sealed
Summary
The board entered nonpublic session at 5:40 p.m. under RSA 91‑A:3, II(c) to discuss a health/hoarding matter raised by the Fire Chief; the nonpublic minutes were sealed and the board left nonpublic and adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
The Selectmen voted to enter a nonpublic session at 5:40 p.m. on July 21, 2025, citing RSA 91‑A:3, II(c), which covers matters that, if discussed publicly, would likely affect adversely the reputation of any person. Richard Bielefield made the motion to enter nonpublic session; Rusty Talbot seconded. Roll call votes to enter nonpublic were recorded as Bielefield—Yes; Chris Ellms—Yes; Rusty Talbot—Yes.
While in nonpublic session the board voted to seal the minutes, again by unanimous roll call. The board left nonpublic session and adjourned at 5:50 p.m. The minutes record that the Fire Chief had sent a letter about a health/hoarding issue and that the board would discuss it in nonpublic session; no other details were disclosed in the public minutes because RSA 91‑A:3, II(c) permits keeping reputation‑sensitive matters private.
Because the discussion and any supporting documentation were recorded in sealed nonpublic minutes, the public minutes include only the statutory citation and the procedural votes to enter and seal nonpublic session.
