Onslow County commissioners approve agenda and consent agenda, move to closed session
Summary
At the May 5 meeting the Onslow County Board of Commissioners adopted the meeting agenda, approved the consent agenda and voted to go into closed session; vote counts were not specified on the record.
The Onslow County Board of Commissioners took three procedural votes during its May 5 meeting: adoption of the meeting agenda, approval of the consent agenda and a motion to enter closed session.
The chairman called for a motion to adopt the agenda; an unidentified commissioner moved and another seconded. The board voted verbally in favor and the chair said, "Hearing none, motion carries." No roll-call tally or named votes were recorded in the public transcript.
Later the board approved the consent agenda after a motion and second, again without roll-call or recorded tallies. The consent agenda included appointments and a listing of surplus property sold, as noted by commissioners during their comments, but the transcript did not list agenda item numbers or the names of the appointees.
At the end of open session the board voted to enter closed session. The motion to go into closed session carried after an audible voice vote; the chair announced the board would not return to open session.
The meeting record on the public transcript does not list individual vote tallies or identify the commissioners who made or seconded the procedural motions. The transcript does reference the board's public-comment rules when the chair introduced the public-comment period.
