On Aug. 28, 2026, the board of selectmen held a special meeting and voted 2–0 to enter an executive session to conduct a pre-termination hearing under subdivision 6 of section 1-200 of the Freedom of Information Act, citing employment-related matters including performance, health or dismissal.
The presiding official moved "to enter executive session to conduct a pre termination hearing as permitted by subdivision 6 of section 1-200 of the FOIA, act relating to employment performance evaluation, health or dismissal of the public employee," and the board recorded a 2–0 vote to go into closed session. Staff clarified recording and public-session logistics before the board left the public meeting.
The board did not discuss the employee’s identity in open session, citing the FOIA basis for closure. The executive session was followed by a return to public session at 1:59 p.m., at which point the board took further action related to the personnel matter.
