Summary
The board voted to enter a nonpublic session under the cited 91‑A exemptions for legal advice and security issues and subsequently voted to seal the nonpublic minutes for two years covering both topics.
The Select Board voted to enter a nonpublic (nonpublic/closed) session under the statutory authority cited in the meeting (referred to in the transcript as "91 a 3 2 j" and related subsections) for the purposes of legal advice and security issues. The motion to enter nonpublic session was seconded and carried by roll call.
After returning to public session, the board moved to seal the minutes of the nonpublic session for two years for both topics discussed and voted in favor. "I'll make a motion that we seal the meeting minutes for 2 years," the chair said during the public motion. The board recorded the vote as affirmative by voice; members also discussed best practice of stating the reason for sealing on the record and asked staff to ensure the required details are included in the minutes.
