Commission enters nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3 II(a),(c) and votes to seal minutes
Summary
Commissioners voted to go into nonpublic session under New Hampshire RSA 91-A:3 II(a) (personnel matters) and II(c) (reputation of a person) and afterward voted to seal the minutes citing potential adverse reputational effects.
The commission voted to convene a nonpublic session under New Hampshire RSA 91-A:3 II(a) (personnel matters) and II(c) (reputation of a person other than a member of the board). The motion passed by roll call, with the chair later bringing a motion to come out of nonpublic and to seal the minutes on the basis that disclosure could have an adverse effect on a person's reputation.
During the public readback, a commissioner asked why the minutes were being sealed; the chair cited the statute and the potential adverse reputational effect as the legal basis for sealing. The roll-call vote to seal the minutes passed with commissioners Chandler, Parker and McGee recorded as yes.
