Columbus County Board Returns to Regular Session, Accepts Closed-Session Report
Summary
The Columbus County Board returned to regular session after closed session, heard Attorney General Kent report that two real estate, two economic development, two personnel and one attorney–client privilege matter were discussed, took no action, and approved accepting the closed-session report by voice vote.
The Columbus County Board of Commissioners reconvened in regular session after a closed session and approved a motion accepting the closed-session report, according to the meeting transcript.
Attorney General Kent reported the topics discussed during the closed session, saying, "There were 2 matters of real estate, 2 matters of economic development, 2 matters of personnel, 1 matter of attorney client privilege that were discussed." The board was told it had taken no formal action in closed session: "Board took no action tonight," the transcript records.
Earlier, an unidentified meeting speaker moved to recess the closed session into regular session; "Motion by commissioner Smith, second by commissioner Floyd" was recorded and the body approved the motion by voice. Later, the body approved a motion to accept the closed-session report; the transcript records "Motion by commissioner Bullard or Berg. Seconded by commissioner Bullard," followed by a voice vote in favor. The transcript does not show roll-call tallies or the names of individual members voting 'yes' or 'no.'
The meeting paused for a two-minute recess after the motions and votes. The transcript contains no further details about the substantive items discussed in closed session and records that the board "took no action tonight."
