Taos Ski Valley TIDD board holds closed session over public-records request; no votes taken
Summary
At a May 29 special meeting, the Village of Taos Ski Valley Tax Incremental Development District Board moved into a closed session to discuss litigation tied to an Inspection of Public Records request from Michael Fitzpatrick; motions to enter and exit the closed session passed 4-0 and no votes were taken during the closed session.
The Village of Taos Ski Valley Tax Incremental Development District (TIDD) Board moved into a closed session at its May 29, 2025, special meeting to discuss pending litigation related to an Inspection of Public Records (IPRA) request filed by Michael Fitzpatrick. Board Chair Thomas P. Wittman called the meeting to order at 4:01 p.m.
Board Member Leach moved to go into closed session to discuss pending litigation tied to the IPRA request; Board Member Frimm seconded and the motion passed 4-0. The minutes record Board Member Turner as the mover of an earlier motion to approve the agenda, with Board Member Frimm as seconder; however, Turner was noted as absent during roll call in the same transcript.
In the closed session the board discussed the IPRA request and related litigation. Board Member Rockey stated that "some documents requested by Mr. Fitzpatrick do not exist" and added that other requested materials are already public through Taos County. The record states that no votes were taken during the closed session.
After the closed session, Board Member Leach moved to end the closed session and reopen the meeting; Board Member Frimm seconded and the motion passed 4-0. No miscellaneous items were discussed. The board announced its next scheduled TIDD meeting for July 21, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. via Zoom. The meeting adjourned following a motion by Board Member Frimm, seconded by Board Member Rockey, which passed 4-0. The minutes are signed by Board Chair Thomas P. Wittman.
The record shows a procedural inconsistency: the agenda-approval motion is attributed to Board Member Turner even though the roll call notes Turner was absent. The transcript does not resolve that discrepancy.
