Select Board enters executive session over treasurer concerns; says more investigation needed
Summary
The Mount Holly Select Board moved into executive session April 21 to discuss concerns about the treasurer's discharge of duties; the Board returned saying it had received some information but further investigation will continue at the next meeting, and noted that the Treasurer is an elected position answerable to residents.
Select Board member Mark Turco moved the Board into executive session on April 21 to discuss concerns about the discharge of the Treasurer's functions; the motion was seconded by Diana Garrow and "approved unanimously," the minutes state.
On returning from executive session, Mark Turco said the Board "had received some information but more investigation is needed to continue this discussion" and emphasized that "the Treasurer is an elected position and the Select Board does not supervise the Treasurer, who is accountable to the Town's residents." Julie Parsells asked why she had not been included in the executive session; Turco responded that she had participated in a previous executive session and that the Board may invite people it "deems relevant" into executive session to provide information.
The transcript does not include further details of the information the Board reviewed in executive session, any allegations, or procedural findings. The record indicates the matter will be continued at the next Select Board meeting for further investigation.
