Better yet, can some folks be banned from making requests due to abuse of the system? Dessert for thought.

The town council voted unanimously to not allow the planner to rescind her resignation after discussions in closed session. Reasons unknown.

Actually, they voted on it in open session after (supposedly) discussing it in closed session. They still did not give reasons and Robin was shocked to say the least. Now Michael Brandt is gonna have to be the planning department until they figure out what to do. Michael's got enough work to do as town administrator. I think they are in for a big mess.....
I'm really gonna miss Robin!

| So no one knows? I didn't know Robin well, but she helped me understand how to start my home business and she was very helpful and cheerful. I found her to be very professional and certainly a positive addition to the town. Its a shame that she is one more casualty of this battle.

The town councilmen/women and Mayor plus the Town Manager would know, but at this point, no one's talking.
Of course, remember that old saying: Two can keep a secret if one is dead.

It's my understanding that since the discussion took place in closed session, NONE of the above mentioned folks are ALLOWED to tell. Right?

The distinction is more appropriately between the words (not) ALLOWED and (not) SUPPOSED* to tell.
In any event, the adage of only keeping secrets if only one remains is still a truism. Things hidden in the dark always have a way of finding light.
* NOTE: What do they arrest you for if you breach the rule or confidence?

| The issue with Robin Smith was a personnel issue. My understanding is that by law, those discussions are permitted to be held in closed session.

Personnel or interpersonal?
