Summary

Council voted to amend today’s agenda to add an executive-session discussion concerning the proposed convention-center hotel location or related expansion matters under SC Code section 34-78-5; the motion was moved, seconded and affirmed by roll call.

The Columbia City Council on Feb. 6 approved an amendment to the agenda to add an executive-session item described as "matters relating to the proposed location expansion or provisional services encouraging location or expansion of industries or other businesses" linked to SC Code section 34-78-5 (the convention center hotel). The motion was moved and seconded and a roll-call affirmation is recorded in the meeting transcript.

The transcript records the motion and a roll-call confirmation but does not clearly attribute individual ‘yes’ responses to named members in the text, so the article notes approval without a full vote-by-name tally. No substantive discussion of the hotel location took place in open session; the matter was added for discussion in executive session.

What’s next: The item will be discussed in executive session per the council’s amendment; no public details or votes on the hotel location were recorded in the open session transcript.
