Selectboard met in sealed non-public session and declined back-tax extension
Summary
The Selectboard met in non-public at 4:01 p.m. under RSA 91-A:3 II(c) to consider a back-tax matter, decided not to grant an extension requested by a property owner, and voted to seal the non-public minutes.
The Sanbornton Selectboard held a non-public session at 4:01 p.m. on May 6 under New Hampshire RSA 91-A:3, II(c), citing matters that could adversely affect the reputation of a person. The meeting included Selectmen Brandon Deacon, Mark Brown and Ralph Carter, Town Administrator Trish Stafford (remote), Town Clerk/Tax Collector Julie Lonergan and the property owner who owed back taxes.
After discussing the application for assistance or extension related to back taxes, the board decided not to grant an extension as recommended by Town Counsel. Selectman Brandon Deacon moved to leave non-public session at 4:50 p.m.; the board then voted to seal the non-public minutes on the grounds specified in RSA 91-A:3, II(c). Roll call votes were recorded in the transcript: Deacon, Brown and Carter voted to enter and to seal the minutes.
Because the minutes were sealed under the statute cited, detailed deliberations were not disclosed in the meeting’s public record. The Selectboard reconvened in public session at 5:00 p.m.
