Public asks commissioners to hold talks with Village District of Eidelweiss in public; commissioners seal non‑public minutes
Summary
Members of the public urged transparency for upcoming talks with the Village District of Eidelweiss and asked that a non‑profit subcommittee meeting be public; the board entered non‑public under RSA 91‑A:3 II(a) and (c) during the meeting and later voted to seal the non‑public minutes.
During the public comment period Fred Cain and other community members asked the commissioners to ensure transparency for planned discussions with the Village District of Eidelweiss. Cain specifically asked that any meeting between the commissioners and VDOE be held in public; Executive Director Mellisa Seamans said she would consult with the county attorney about that request. Dallas Emery asked whether a meeting between the commissioners and the nonprofit subcommittee would be public; Seamans confirmed the subcommittee meeting will be public.
Separately, the commissioners voted to enter non‑public session as permitted under New Hampshire RSA 91‑A:3, II (a) and (c) (Parker/McGee, 3‑0 by roll call). After reconvening the board voted to seal the minutes of the non‑public session on the grounds that release would likely have an adverse effect on the reputation of a person other than a public body member.
