York County commissioners approve minutes, adopt agenda and move into executive session after public comment
Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting the York County Board of Commissioners approved minutes from Oct. 1, unanimously adopted the agenda and voted to go into an executive session described as necessary "to prevent the needless injury and harm to an individual." A resident, Willard Peterson, addressed the board during public comment.
The York County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 15 approved the minutes of its Oct. 1 meeting, unanimously adopted the day’s agenda and voted to enter an executive session described by the chair as needed "to prevent the needless injury and harm to an individual." The board met in the county chambers and recorded verbal roll-call affirmations for each action.
During the public comment period, Willard Peterson of 514 Road 13, York (identifying himself as from Bradshaw) told the commissioners he had not planned to speak but said he had been "treated so bad before the meeting," prompting him to come forward. The chair thanked Peterson after his remarks.
Shortly after public comment the board voted, with a motion and second recorded on the record, to convene an executive session at 8:33 p.m. The stated reason for the closed session was to prevent "needless injury and harm to an individual." The transcript records that two individuals, Chandra and Gary, were present to join the executive session.
The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance and the chair announced that the open meetings law is posted in the chambers and on the county website and that proof of publication appeared in the News Times on Oct. 10. No formal controversy, amendment or other substantive policy debate was recorded in the portion of the transcript provided; the record supplied ends as the executive session was convened.
