Summary
The Town of Eden Selectboard convened an executive session July 16 under VSA 313(a)(3) to discuss the appointment, employment, or evaluation of a public officer; minutes state the executive session produced no decisions and the suspension motion occurred after the session.
The Town of Eden Selectboard held a brief executive session on July 16, 2025, citing VSA 313(a)(3) "to discuss the appointment, employment, or evaluation of a public officer or employee," the minutes show. The minutes record the executive session began at 2:04 p.m. and ended at 2:16 p.m., and explicitly state, "No decisions were made," during that closed portion of the meeting.
After returning to open session, the board moved on personnel action related to the Animal Control Officer. The minutes note the board "does recognize that Matt is also a Constable, but the selectboard has no authority over an elected official," a procedural clarification the board recorded while approving a suspension of animal control duties pending the outcome of charges. The assistant town clerk's minutes indicate a letter will be sent to Matt Hill to notify him of the board's action.
