At the end of the Dec. 2 pre‑agenda session the Iredell County Board of Commissioners voted to enter closed session to discuss personnel matters.

Chair Connolly moved to enter closed session following a five‑minute recess, and Commissioner Brown made the motion. The chair asked for all in favor and multiple commissioners responded "aye." The board referenced North Carolina General Statute 143‑318.11(a)(6) as the legal authority for discussing personnel in closed session.

The meeting recessed for five minutes and proceeded to closed session; no further details on personnel matters were disclosed in the public portion of the meeting.
