A Select Board member moved at the July 20, 2026 meeting of the Lyman Select Board to enter an executive session "to go into executive session per 1 M.R.S.A. §405(6)(E) discussion regarding legal matters." The Chair seconded the motion and, after calling for the question, the board recorded two "Aye" responses and the Chair announced the board would go into executive session.
The motion cited 1 M.R.S.A. §405(6)(E), which the board identified as the statutory authority for a closed deliberation on legal matters. No further details about the subject of the legal discussion, any parties involved, or a timeline for returning to open session were provided on the record during the public portion of the meeting.
Other opening items included a short welcome and the Pledge of Allegiance. After the motion and vote, participants discussed seating and microphone placement as the body prepared to move into the executive session.
The meeting record shows the motion was moved by a Select Board member and seconded by the Chair, and the Chair declared the board in executive session after the favorable vote. The transcript does not record individual voter names beyond two spoken "Aye" responses, nor does it record a public description of the legal matters to be discussed.
