- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Shutesbury Planning Board devoted attention to a legal complaint from Kohl’s against the town. The board decided to enter an executive session to discuss the matter, citing that an open session would be detrimental to the town’s position. The executive session was the most significant item on the agenda.
The meeting began with routine greetings among the attendees, followed by an acknowledgment of seasonal changes in the town’s maple trees. The attendance included Planning Board members Michael DeChiara, Deacon Bonnar, Steven Bressler, and Robert Raymond, among others. After a brief public comment period, which saw no participation from attendees, the board transitioned to the main agenda item.
The chair for the meeting initially opened the session and then requested Michael DeChiara to oversee the remainder of the proceedings. A motion was made to enter into an executive session for the purpose of discussing the complaint from Kohl’s. The motion was seconded by Deacon Bonnar and passed with a unanimous roll-call vote among the present members.
The specifics of the legal complaint were not disclosed in the open session of the meeting, adhering to the sensitivity of legal discussions.
