The committee moved into executive session to discuss a potential property acquisition and did not return to open session, citing the exemption in Massachusetts open-meeting law for negotiation strategy.

Chair or presiding member read the executive session citation aloud: "The board will be entering into executive session for MGL chapter 30 a section 21 and not returning to open session to discuss potential property acquisition exemption number 6 as the chairs determined that open meeting may have detrimental effect on the town's position." A motion to enter executive session was made and seconded.

A roll-call vote to enter executive session recorded the following responses: Ellen, "Aye"; Al, "Aye"; Paul (committee member), "Aye"; Jesse, "Aye"; and Doug, "Aye." The chair instructed public attendees that the committee would proceed in executive session and thanked them for attending.

Ending: The meeting transitioned to executive session and public attendees were excused; no further public details on the acquisition were discussed in open session.
