We are puzzled. The schedule for finding a new Town Manager includes on April 4th, a Closed COWncil meeting on “the search process.” Our understanding of the Brown Act is that a closed session is allowed to “consider the appointment” of the Town Manager but not to discuss the search process.

In contrast, during the week of September 26th, there will be Town COWncil Closed Sessions “Interviewing and selecting final Town Manager candidates.” We think this clearly falls within the exception which allows a closed session to consider the appointment of the Town Manager.

We can’t help wonder what is intended to be discussed on April 4th and has the Town Attorney determined that it is appropriate for a closed session?
