WAYLAND — January 21, 2021 — Wayland selectmen vote 5-0 to take River's Edge negotiations behind closed doors.

Carlson declared that public discussion "may have a detrimental effect on the litigating, negotiating, or bargaining position of the town." Selectmen Mary Antes, Tom Fay, Dave Watkins and Lee Anderson joined Carlson in the unanimous roll-call vote. Town Administrator Louise Miller, Assistant Town Administrator John Bugbee and Management Analyst Jason Adams were invited to attend.
