Approved minutes from the county board’s March closed sessions have not been posted to the county website or filed in the clerk’s minute book at the courthouse in Whitehall, the two places state statute and the county’s own records policy direct approved minutes to go. Open-session minutes from the same meetings were posted in April.
The clerk’s office has said the closed-session minutes are pending review and will be released once counsel signs off. The office did not offer a date.
Closed-session minutes may be withheld only while the reason for closure still applies. The Pioneer will check again each month and report what it finds.
