Council votes unanimously to enter closed session for economic development discussion
Summary
At the end of its May 6 meeting the Hickory City Council voted unanimously to go into closed session to discuss an economic development matter that was not on the published agenda.
A council member moved at the May 6 meeting that the Hickory City Council go into closed session to discuss an economic development matter not on the published agenda; a second was given and the motion carried unanimously.
The council voted verbally — “All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed, like sign? Alright. That carries unanimously” — and the meeting then recessed to closed session. The transcript records the motion, the second and that the motion carried unanimously; it does not record the mover’s or the seconder’s name in the public portion of the transcript, nor does it record any details of the substantive matter discussed in closed session.
No formal action (ordinance, resolution or vote with roll call) tied to the closed‑session item was recorded in the public minutes during the meeting’s public session. Any official decisions resulting from the closed session would be subject to the city’s public‑meeting rules and would appear in future public minutes if required.
