Knox County Commission moves into executive session to consult legal counsel
Summary
At a special meeting on Tuesday, March 11, the Knox County Commission voted to enter an executive session to consult with legal counsel pursuant to the statute cited on the record; the chair made the motion, it was seconded and approved by voice after the chair skipped public comment because no one was present in person or online.
The chair called a special meeting of the Knox County Commission to order on Tuesday, March 11, and announced the commission would skip the public comment period because "there's nobody here, and there's nobody online," the chair said.
The chair then said the commission would "move directly into an executive session," adding it "could be an executive session for consultation with legal counsel pursuant to 1 MRSA, 4056 e." The chair made a motion to enter executive session; a second was recorded and, after the chair asked "all those in favor?" the meeting recessed into executive session, the chair said.
Earlier in the brief session, a committee member commented about housing conditions, saying of the Minhagen House that it is "the trailing queue where there's no place else to live and it becomes a community." That remark was not followed by a public comment period; the chair had announced the commission would skip public comment owing to no in-person or online attendees.
The record shows the motion to enter executive session was moved and seconded and carried by voice; no roll-call tally or further public details about the executive session's content were disclosed in the transcript. The commission discussed where to hold the session (at the dais or at the table) and the chair said they would move down to the table before the meeting moved into executive session.
