Summary
At a special March 2025 meeting, the Mauldin City Council entered executive session under state statute 30-4-78-2 to discuss negotiations on proposed contractual arrangements, then voted unanimously to approve lease and stadium project agreement amendments and authorized the mayor or designee to execute them.
The Mauldin City Council at a special-call meeting in March 2025 moved into an executive session to discuss negotiations incident to proposed contractual arrangements under state statute 30-4-78-2 and, after returning to open session, unanimously approved amendments to a lease and to a stadium project agreement and authorized the mayor or his designee to execute the amendments.
The meeting was called to order at approximately 6:01 p.m. and the council voted to go into executive session to discuss negotiations allowed by state law. Councilmembers Matney (identified in the transcript also later as "Mattingly") and Reynolds seconded the motion to enter executive session, which the council approved 5-0. The council returned to the council chambers at approximately 6:40 p.m.; a staff member reported, "Coming out of executive session, no decisions were made. No votes were taken." The council then considered action on items discussed in executive session.
A motion "that we approve the lease and stadium project agreement amendments as discussed in executive session and authorize the mayor and or his designee to execute the agreement amendments" was moved and seconded; the council approved the motion unanimously, 5-0. The council then completed routine business and adjourned, with the adjournment carrying 5-0.
The meeting transcript identifies the governing body members present as the mayor, Councilmember Matney (appearing in the transcript once as "Mattingly"), Councilmember King, Councilmember Reynolds and Councilmember Allgood. City Administrator Duncan and Assistant Administrator Saxon were noted as present.
The council cited state statute 30-4-78-2 as the legal basis for the executive session. The transcript does not provide the text of the lease or the stadium project agreement amendments, the financial terms, or the names of other contracting parties; those details were "not specified" in the public record provided in the transcript.
