Selectboard moves into executive session to review attorney letter on a property; decides not to send draft letter
Summary
Under 1 V.S.A. § 313(f) the board met in executive session to review a draft attorney letter regarding a central property, concluded the draft was inappropriate to send, and agreed to seek additional information from counsel before next steps.
The board voted to enter executive session under 1 V.S.A. § 313(f) for confidential attorney–client communications about a draft letter from the town's attorney concerning a central property. Chair Cathy read the motion and the statute into the record: "I need a motion to move into executive session, 1 VSA 313 f, confidential attorney client."
After convening, board members reviewed the attorney-drafted letter and agreed it was not appropriate to send to the landowner in its current form. Members said they would contact the attorney for additional information and next steps and reconvene on the topic. The public record notes the board did not send the draft and will pursue further legal clarification before taking action.
