Sussex County returns from executive session; no report on land acquisition or litigation
Summary
After an executive session on land acquisition and litigation, Sussex County officials said there was "nothing to report out today." The body then recessed until 1:30 p.m. following unanimous votes to end the closed session and begin the recess.
Sussex County's governing body returned from an executive session and announced there was "nothing to report out today" after discussing land acquisition and pending and potential litigation, a meeting speaker said.
The remark came when Mr. Moore responded to the presiding officer's request for a report after the board moved out of executive session. "We discussed land acquisition and pending and potential litigation, and there is nothing to report out today," Mr. Moore said.
The body took two procedural votes. First, members voted to end the executive session and resume the public meeting; the motion was moved by Mr. Riley and seconded by Mr. McCarran. The roll call afterward recorded yes votes by Mr. McCarran, Mr. Riley and the presiding officer (name not specified in the transcript). Following that, the presiding officer asked for a motion to recess until 1:30 p.m. Mr. Riley moved and Mr. McCarran seconded; the same recorded votes were cast and the body recessed.
No ordinances, contracts, appointments or other reportable actions on the discussed land-acquisition or litigation matters were recorded during the open portion of the meeting. The transcript shows the executive-session subjects as land acquisition and "pending and potential litigation," and the meeting record states explicitly that there was "nothing to report out today."
The meeting resumed public session briefly to record the motions and votes before recessing. The presiding officer announced the body would reconvene at 1:30 p.m.
