Committee chair moves into executive session to consider appointments; no formal action taken

The Community Development Public Service Committee convened on Monday, April 6. The committee chair opened the meeting, led the Pledge of Allegiance and asked members to adopt the day's agenda; the motion to adopt was made and seconded and carried as called by the chair.

The chair then brought forward a motion to approve the minutes of the committee's March 9, 2026 regular meeting; the motion was seconded and the chair called for a vote. The transcript records participants saying "No" during the exchange; a definitive, recorded vote tally or final on-the-record outcome for the minutes was not provided in the transcript.

The chair announced the committee would enter an executive session "to discuss appointments to boards, commissions, and committees pursuant to the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act," listing affected bodies including Buford Jasper Water and Sewer, the Tax Advisory Committee, the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Construction Board of Adjustment and Appeals, the Design Review Board, the Gullah Geechee Historic Neighborhood Community Development Corporation, the Gullah Geechee Task Force, the Housing Action Committee, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission. A motion and second to go into executive session were made, the chair called for the favor, and the committee entered executive session.

After returning to open session, the chair reported that "there was no formal action taken in executive session." With that announcement, the chair adjourned the meeting.

The meeting record does not include names of members who moved or seconded motions, detailed vote tallies, or any appointment decisions made in executive session; those details were either not on the public record or not recorded in the provided transcript.
