Council moves into executive session for property, legal and personnel matters
Summary
Council voted to enter executive session to discuss purchase of property, attorney-client privileged legal advice (Project Riverview), performance evaluation of the municipal judge, and personnel matters; no deliberations from the closed session were reported in open session.
At the end of the public session, the City of Orangeburg City Council voted to go into executive session. The mayor read the stated grounds for the closed session, which included "purchase of property, the receipt of legal advice, other matters covered by the attorney client privilege, project Riverview," and cited "South Carolina code section 30 dash 4 dash 70 a 2." The council also listed the performance and evaluation of the municipal judge and other personnel matters and cited the code sections given during the reading.
A motion to enter executive session was made by Councilman Stroman and seconded by Councilman Grievous; the mayor called the vote and announced the motion carried. The public portion of the meeting concluded with the council entering executive session and no further substantive deliberations or outcomes from that closed session were reported in the public record presented.
Because the matters were discussed in executive session, the transcript contains no open-session details about property negotiations, legal advice on Project Riverview, the municipal judge's evaluation or the personnel matters referenced.
