Chair moves into closed session to consult attorney and discuss personnel under North Carolina statute

The chair of the special meeting requested a motion to go into closed session "to consult with the town attorney and to preserve attorney-client privilege and discuss specific personnel pursuant to North Carolina General Statute," saying, "Um, so now can I get a motion uh, to go into closed session to consult with the town attorney and to preserve attorney-client privilege and discuss specific personnel pursuant to North Carolina General Statute." The motion was made, a first and second were noted, and the chair announced the meeting would enter closed session by voice consent.

The transcript does not identify the presiding official by personal name; this article uses the functional label "the chair" because no individual was named in the record. The motion to enter closed session was moved and seconded on the record; no individual mover or seconder names, vote counts, or roll-call tallies appear in the transcript.

The meeting reconvened from closed session at 4:14 p.m. The chair then asked for a motion to adjourn the special meeting; a motion and a second were recorded and the meeting was adjourned by voice consent. The transcript includes no further formal actions or votes and provides no details about the personnel matter discussed while in closed session.

The only legal reference recorded in the discussion is to "North Carolina General Statute," without a specific statute number cited in the transcript. Because the record contains no named officials, vote tallies, or additional documentary references, the public record in the transcript is limited to the board's entry into closed session under state statute and its subsequent adjournment.
