These Minutes were approved by the CEC at its Open-Session meeting on
December 20, 2013, but without making the content public as it was still sensitive at that
time.
In response to a query by Mr. Kanter on May 6, 2014, Mr. Valente, Town Manager, advised
that the content of these Minutes could then be made public. The CEC at its joint
Open-Session meeting with the Appropriation Committee on May 7, 2014, approved
making the Minutes public and then did so by submitting these Minutes for the TownÈs
public archive on May 12, 2014.
