Council votes to seal executive-session minutes under Rhode Island law
Summary
Councilors voted to seal the executive-session minutes pursuant to a Rhode Island statute cited during the meeting; the motion was moved and seconded and approved by roll call with all recorded votes 'yes.'
At the same special meeting, the Chair said the council would consider sealing the minutes from the executive session, citing "Rhode Island General Law 42 46 7 c." A council member moved to seal the minutes; a councilor seconded, and the council approved the motion by roll-call vote.
The transcript records affirmations for the roll call, with each named councilor recorded as voting "yes" and the Chair also casting a yes vote. The council did not discuss substantive content of the sealed minutes on the public record; the action was purely a procedural vote to limit public disclosure of the executive-session record.
