The board’s response to Higgins’ demand was facilitated by the town council and the diligent efforts of Bill Donnelly, who gathered and posted the meeting minutes on the town’s website. Although initially uncertain if the board needed to vote on the minutes, the decision was made to approve them formally, honoring the commitment made to Higgins. The board members discussed the legitimacy of voting on minutes for meetings they did not attend, referencing Robert’s Rules of Order to affirm the validity of such votes.
