Francestown Select Board holds two brief non-public sessions and votes to seal the minutes
Summary
The Francestown Select Board entered non-public sessions on March 23 under RSA 91-A:3 II(e) to discuss pending litigation and RSA 91-A:3 II(c) to discuss a health hazard; after exiting the sessions the board voted to seal the minutes, citing likely harm from disclosure.
During the March 23 meeting the Select Board voted to enter a non-public session at 6:05 p.m. under RSA 91-A:3 II(e) to discuss pending litigation. The motion to enter non-public was made by Chair Karen Kitzgerald, seconded by Select Board member Scot D. Heath, and recorded with all three members voting Aye. The board exited that session at 6:09 p.m.
At 6:10 p.m. the board entered a second non-public session under RSA 91-A:3 II(c) to discuss a health hazard; the motion was made by Chair Kitzgerald and seconded by Select Board member Heath, with the minutes recording all three members voting Aye. The board exited the non-public session at 6:27 p.m.
Following the non-public sessions the board agreed to seal the minutes "because it was determined that divulgence of this information likely would render the proposed action ineffective," and the motion to seal passed unanimously. The minutes note only the statutory citations, times, roll-call Aye votes and the vote to seal; they do not disclose the substance of the litigation or the health-hazard discussion.
