Summary
The York County Board of Commissioners approved a motion to go into executive session at 8:33 a.m. to discuss a general assistance claim, citing the need to prevent needless injury to an individual; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
The York County Board of Commissioners voted to go into executive session at 8:33 a.m. on June 14 to discuss a general assistance claim, the board said at its meeting.
A commissioner moved "that we're going to executive session at 8:33 to discuss the general assistance claim to prevent the needless injury of an individual," and the motion was seconded. The chair called for a roll call, and members indicated their assent, after which the board recessed into executive session.
The motion and the stated reason were made during general business after the chair opened the public forum. The transcript records the board citing the protection of an individual's privacy as the basis for the closed-session request. No further details about the substance of the assistance claim or the individual involved were disclosed in open session.
The board had previously noted that open meetings laws are posted in the chambers and on the county website, and that proof of publication for this meeting appeared in the News Times on June 9. The meeting minutes show the board followed the procedural steps to move into an executive session; names of the motion mover and seconder were not specified in the public portion of the record.
