At a June 25 meeting the Somerset Board of Selectmen voted to enter executive session under M.G.L. ch. 30A, §21(a)(2) to conduct strategy sessions for negotiations involving several non-union positions; the roll call showed all three selectmen voting aye.

The Somerset Board of Selectmen voted June 25 to enter executive session to conduct strategy sessions in preparation for negotiations with non-union personnel under M.G.L. chapter 30A, section 21(a)(2). The motion to enter executive session was made by Selectman Costa and seconded by Selectman Bednarik; Selectmen Smith, Costa and Bednarik each voted aye on the roll call.

The executive session notice named the positions and individuals discussed: Treasurer/Collector; Jamison Barros; Fire Chief; Jason Phillips, Deputy Fire Chief; and Tammy Pacheco, Finance Director. Because the board met in executive session under the cited statute, the meeting record does not disclose the substance of those strategy discussions. The motion to enter executive session was made at about 5:05 pm and recorded as approved before the board reconvened in open session at 6:05 pm.

The board took no additional public action on those negotiations at the reconvened public session. Future open-session updates, if any, will appear on a subsequent agenda.
