Kernersville board moves to closed session on real‑property/contract negotiations, then adjourns
Summary
The board voted to enter closed session to consult with legal counsel on a matter involving attorney-client privilege and to instruct negotiating agents concerning price/terms for acquisition of real property; after the closed session the meeting returned to open session and adjourned.
The Kernersville Board of Aldermen voted Dec. 9 to enter a closed session to consult with the town attorney and to instruct negotiating agents on position-taking regarding the purchase of real property and related contract terms. The motion cited a North Carolina statute as read into the record during the meeting.
A member moved the board into closed session, the motion was seconded, and the board entered closed session. The transcript records the statutory basis in garbled form (as spoken during the meeting): "Pursuant to North Carolina General statute 140 three-three 18, 0.1183," followed by language about preserving attorney‑client privilege and instructing negotiating agents concerning the acquisition of real property by purchase and negotiation of contract terms.
After the closed session the mayor returned the meeting to open session, asked whether any further business existed, and, receiving none, asked for a motion to adjourn. Alderman Thompson moved to adjourn, Alderman Apple seconded, and the meeting was adjourned.
