The Columbus County Board of Commissioners recessed into closed session under North Carolina General Statute §143-318.11(a)(3) to discuss attorney–client privileged communications and personnel matters, and later reported that no action was taken, according to remarks at the meeting.
The motion to go into closed session was made by Commissioner Bullard and seconded by Commissioner Smith; members present voted in favor. After the closed session, the county attorney summarized that commissioners had discussed attorney–client privilege matters and some personnel issues and said no action resulted from those discussions.
Following the county attorney's report, Commissioner Byrd moved to approve what the transcript calls the "general count." Commissioner Watts seconded that motion, and the board voted in favor. The transcript does not define "general count" or specify what documents or minutes, if any, that phrase refers to.
An approximately three-minute recess preceded the return to the regular session, which the chair announced at the close of the item. The meeting transcript does not include further details about the subjects discussed in closed session or any decisions beyond the two recorded motions.
