Board enters closed session to discuss potential purchase of two parcels for landfill and parks; no open-session action reported
Summary
The county attorney asked the board to move into closed session under North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(a)(5) to discuss negotiation strategy for the potential purchase of two parcels owned by Bruce Cameron as trustee; the board moved into closed session and later reported no action was taken.
The Alamance County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Sept. 2 to enter a closed session to discuss negotiation strategy for the potential purchase of two parcels to support landfill operations and Recreation and Parks, the county attorney said.
The county attorney cited North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(a)(5) and identified the parcels by Parcel Numbers 157536 and 157515, saying the property is owned by Bruce Cameron as trustee. The attorney said the closed session was to "instruct the public body staff or negotiating agents concerning the position to be taken by the public body in negotiating the potential purchase" and that no action was anticipated after the closed session.
The board moved into closed session after a motion and second and returned to open session later in the meeting; the public record states there was no action taken following the closed session.
The county attorney's announcement was the only substantive public description of the closed-session subject; no purchase price, negotiation terms, or further details about timeline or next steps were provided in open session.
No formal public vote on a purchase was recorded in open session.
