At a June 15 joint meeting at Stoddard Town Hall, Terri LaRoche, chair of the Stoddard Selectboard, moved to send the Selectboard and Library Trustees into nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3,II(b) to discuss the hiring of an employee. Dean Dorman seconded the motion and a roll-call vote to enter the nonpublic session was recorded as approved unanimously by the Selectboard attendees and Library Trustees.
The meeting entered nonpublic session at 6:04 p.m. The public minutes record only that the topic discussed in nonpublic was the hiring of an employee; the transcript provides no further public detail about the content of that discussion or any personnel action taken during the closed session.
The boards returned to public session at 6:49 p.m. Terri LaRoche moved, and Jason Kovarik seconded, that the minutes of the nonpublic session not be sealed; the motion passed. Immediately after that vote the record states, "No decisions were made." The joint meeting adjourned at 6:53 p.m. The minutes were submitted by Town Administrator Michelle L. Pong and include signature lines for the Selectboard and Library Trustees.
The nonpublic session was authorized under RSA 91-A:3,II(b), the state Right-to-Know provision cited in the minutes for personnel matters. The public record in this transcript does not specify whether any hires or employment terms were finalized during the nonpublic portion; the minutes as presented state only that no decisions were made in the public meeting.
