I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

Closed Session

NH RSA Chapter 91-A: Access to Public Records and Meetings

  1. Have a quorum: for BPL Trustees, 3
  2. Be in a noticed, public session
  3. Recorded, roll call majority vote on a motion to go into non-public session based on one of the following:
  4. keep minutes
  5. 2/3rd recorded vote to seal
  6. majority to UNseal
  7. 72 hours to publicly disclose UNsealed minutes

Legal Counsel

Consultation with legal counsel is not a meeting under RSA 91-A. If, in the course of public session, a board wants to consult with legal counsel, it should vote to (possibly temporarily) adjourn the meeting. I believe Roberts would call this a Recess.
