Selectmen enter nonpublic session and vote to seal minutes under RSA 91‑A:3 II(c)
Summary
The Sugar Hill Board of Selectmen voted to enter a nonpublic session citing RSA 91‑A:3 II(c) (reputational matters) by roll call, later voted to seal the minutes because divulgence would likely render a proposed action ineffective, and then left nonpublic session and adjourned.
The Sugar Hill Board of Selectmen moved into nonpublic session at 5:50 p.m. and cited RSA 91‑A:3 II(c) — the public‑meeting exemption for matters that, if discussed in public, would likely affect the reputation of a person unless that person requests an open meeting.
A roll‑call vote to enter nonpublic session was recorded as Yes from Richard Bielefield, Chris Ellms and Rusty Talbot. After the nonpublic discussion the board voted to seal the minutes, again recording roll‑call Yes votes from each member, on the basis that divulgence would likely render a proposed action ineffective. The board left nonpublic session and adjourned at 6:20 p.m.
The minutes identify the statutory basis for the nonpublic session and state that the minutes were sealed; they do not disclose the subject matter discussed, consistent with the exemption cited.
