Strafford County executive committee votes to enter nonpublic session to discuss detainee matters

The executive committee voted by roll call on Feb. 20 to enter nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3 II(c) to discuss county detainee matters that the county attorney said could have a negative effect on an individual's reputation.

The chair explained the meeting would be narrow in scope, that the televised stream would be cut, and that only the superintendent of the jail, the county administrator, and the chair of the county commission would remain in the room for the nonpublic discussion. The committee took a roll-call vote to approve the nonpublic session and then cleared the public room to proceed.

Minutes of the nonpublic session will be taken in accordance with RSA requirements and any substantive material that must remain confidential will be recorded in nonpublic minutes. The public meeting will reconvene afterward for any administrative actions necessary to adjourn.
