Non-public. Chester NH. Non-public at beginning of meeting.

2020: board of selectmen go into unscheduled non-public session after opening meeting and after Pledge of Allegiance. They removed the public from the meeting while they had a secret session, then allowed public comment. It was after this meeting they disabled the chat feature on Zoom. This practice of front-loading non-public has been done with meetings on town hall as well and with other committees in town, kicking us out of the meeting room for up to an hour. Chester, New Hampshire.
