Executive Session Script
The Select Board will be going into Executive Session to discuss two issues, one pursuant to G.L. c.30A, §21(a)(3) to discuss strategy with respect to an ongoing litigation; and the second, pursuant to G.L. c.30A §22 (f)(g) to comply with any general law for review of Executive Session Minutes, both of which would have a detrimental effect on the position of the governing body if discussion were in open session. The Board will not be returning to open session.
