An unidentified speaker recorded in the Hampton County meeting transcript announced the council’s exit from executive session and said the body had discussed three personnel matters, including evaluations of the county attorney, the clerk-to-counsel and the county administrator. “In executive session, we had 3 items that we, discussed,” the speaker said.
A motion to come out of executive session was made and seconded; the presiding speaker asked for any discussion, then asked members to indicate approval by raising their right hands. The speaker recorded that the group approved the motion to exit the executive session on that show-of-hands vote. The speaker characterized the personnel reviews as discussion items and said no formal action resulted from them.
The speaker also said the council had held a separate discussion on an administrative finance personnel matter and again said “there’s no action to be taken” — framing the exchange as clarification rather than a policy decision. The transcript likewise records that agenda item 9.3, also described as a personnel matter, was discussed by county council members and that no action was taken.
After reporting on the executive-session topics, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded; members approved the motion by show of hands and the speaker declared the meeting adjourned. The transcript notes the clerk was not present for the vote: “We didn't have our clerk to counsel…I'll fill her in, as what occurred,” the speaker said, indicating staff would brief the clerk after the meeting.
No formal votes with tallies by name, ordinances, resolutions, contracts or other binding actions are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The most recent procedural outcome recorded is that the council approved exiting the executive session and then adjourned the meeting.
