The Tamworth Select Board met in a second nonpublic session on March 24 to discuss a recent incident at a local wedding venue that raised public-safety concerns. According to the minutes, the Select Board office was inundated with reporters regarding the incident.
The minutes record that the board was advised by legal counsel not to make any public comment while an active investigation was under way. Session 2 is recorded as beginning at 7:15 p.m. and ending at 7:22 p.m.; the minutes state they were not sealed.
The minutes do not provide additional details about the nature of the incident, the venue involved, any victims or allegations, or the investigative authority handling the matter. The entry records only that the topic was discussed in nonpublic session and that legal counsel recommended refraining from public comment.
Because the minutes do not include further factual particulars or a public action, there is no recorded vote or direction to release further information. The board’s adherence to legal counsel’s advice, as recorded, means that public statements were withheld while the investigation remained active.
