Commissioners reschedule and cancel budget worksessions, enter closed session under attorney-client exception
Summary
At the May 13 special meeting the board voted unanimously to reschedule the May 21 budget worksession to May 22, cancel the May 27 worksession, and voted to enter a closed session under N.C. Gen. Stat. §143-318.11(a)(3); no action was taken after the closed session and the meeting adjourned.
During the May 13 special-called meeting, the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved several procedural motions and held a closed session under the attorney-client exception.
Chairman Dr. Dan Eichenbaum moved, and Commissioner Mark Stiles seconded, to reschedule the May 21 budget worksession to May 22; the motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Cal Stiles moved, and Commissioner Alan Bryant seconded, to cancel the May 27 budget worksession; that motion also passed unanimously.
The board then voted, on a motion by Commissioner Cal Stiles seconded by Commissioner Ben Adams, to go into closed session pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-318.11(a)(3) to consult with the county attorney and preserve attorney-client privilege. The minutes record that the motion passed unanimously. After returning to open session, the minutes say no action was taken on matters discussed in closed session. Commissioner Cal Stiles moved, and Chairman Eichenbaum seconded, to adjourn; that motion passed unanimously.
The motions were recorded in the minutes as unanimous; the minutes do not provide additional detail about the closed-session subject matter, consistent with statutory confidentiality for attorney-client consultations.
