Committee member moves to reconvene open session; three executive-session votes disclosed and minutes sealed
Summary
A committee member moved to reconvene Glocester's open session, disclose three votes taken in executive session, and seal the executive-session minutes; the council approved the motion by voice vote.
A committee member moved to reconvene the council into open session and to disclose three votes taken during a recently closed executive session, saying, "So I'll make a motion to reconvene open session." The motion also asked the council to seal the minutes of the closed executive session; another member seconded the motion and the council approved it by voice vote.
The disclosure covered one vote on agenda item 1(a), one on 2(a) and one on 3(a), according to the motion offered on the floor. The chair then asked that the minutes of the executive session be sealed. The council proceeded with a voice vote with multiple members responding "Aye." No numerical roll-call tally was provided in the transcript.
The procedural vote set the stage for remaining agenda items, including a discussion of a Rhode Island Department of Education decision and later consideration of a collective-bargaining agreement for town clerks.
