Summary
The Londonderry Selectboard entered two executive sessions on May 4 under Vermont statute for pending/probable litigation and for employee reviews; both entries were unanimous. The board did not disclose substantive details from the closed meetings.
The Londonderry Selectboard entered two executive sessions on May 4, 2026: one under 1 V.S.A. § 313(a)(1)(E) for pending or probable civil litigation and a second under 1 V.S.A. § 313(a)(3) for appointment, employment or evaluation of a public officer or employee. Selectboard member James Ameden moved the litigation session entry and invited the Zoning Administrator, the Town Attorney and the Town Administrator to attend; the motion passed unanimously.
Minutes show the litigation session ran from 4:30 to 4:51 p.m. and the personnel session ran from 4:54 to 5:10 p.m. The board’s public record and state statute allow the Selectboard to discuss those matters in executive session but require that any final hiring or appointment decisions be made in an open meeting and that the reasons for such decisions be explained publicly; the minutes record no final hiring outcomes in the open portion of this meeting.
