Council authorizes administrator to proceed with Columbia Place Mall property acquisition
Summary
Following executive session discussion, Richland County Council authorized the county administrator to proceed with acquisition of a Columbia Place Mall property as discussed in closed session.
Richland County Council voted to authorize the county administrator to proceed with acquiring the Columbia Place Mall property after an executive-session briefing.
The authorization followed executive-session discussion of property inquiry matters. The motion specified that the administrator should proceed with the acquisition as discussed in closed session; council then voted to approve the motion in open session. No acquisition price, contract terms or seller identity were disclosed in the public meeting record.
Council members later offered and then withdrew motions to reconsider the action; the authorization stands as approved. County staff will follow the acquisition steps discussed in executive session and will report back to council as required by procurement and property-transaction rules.
Because negotiations and legal advice were discussed under executive session rules, the council did not provide additional public details at the Tuesday meeting. The authorization instructs staff to move forward, subject to any additional approvals or formal disclosures required by county policy or state law.
