Summary
Under North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(a)(5) the board met in closed session Sept. 2 to receive instructions on negotiating the potential purchase of Parcel Nos. 157536 and 157515 (owner: Bruce Cameron, trustee) for use related to landfill operations and recreation and parks; the board returned to open session with no action taken.
The Alamance County Board of Commissioners voted Sept. 2 to enter a closed session under North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(a)(5) to receive instructions for negotiating a potential purchase of two parcels described in the motion.
County Attorney (name not specified) read the closed-session motion into the record: "Pursuant to North Carolina general statute 143-318.11(a)(5), I ask the board move into closed session to instruct the public body staff or negotiating agents concerning the position to be taken by or on behalf of the public body in negotiating the potential purchase of the real property described as Parcel Number 157536 and 157515 owned by Bruce Cameron as trustee to be used related to the operation of the landfill and recreation and parks departments." The board approved a motion to enter closed session and later returned to open session with "no action to be taken," according to the meeting record.
No purchase price, negotiation positions, or follow-up timeline were disclosed in the open record. The closed session was taken pursuant to the statutory exception for negotiating real-property transactions; the chair noted afterward that no action would follow the closed session.
