Richland County officials accept employee resignation, hold executive session with no reportable action

Richland County officials accepted the resignation of a county employee and entered an executive session during a public meeting; the officials later said there was no reportable action from that executive session and the meeting was adjourned.

County officials moved to accept the resignation of an employee; the transcript does not specify the employee’s name, who made or seconded the motion, or the vote tally. Shortly afterward, officials made a motion to enter an executive session. At the close of the meeting officials said there was “nothing to report” from the executive session, and the meeting was adjourned.

The transcript records the motions but does not provide identifying details for the employee whose resignation was accepted, nor does it include vote tallies or the names of the members who moved or seconded the motions. The sequence in the record shows (1) a motion to enter executive session, (2) a motion to accept a resignation, and (3) adjournment after the executive session.

Because the transcript does not identify the employee, who moved the motions, or the vote counts, this article does not attribute those actions to any named individual. The record does indicate that officials acknowledged the acceptance of the resignation and explicitly stated there was no reportable action coming out of the executive session.
