Summary
The board voted to enter closed session to consult with the county attorney about pending litigation referenced in the record and to consider qualifications or fitness of public employees, citing state statutes and relocating the meeting to a private area with the Code Enforcement officer invited.
The chair moved that the Burke County Board of Commissioners enter closed session to consult with the board attorney and preserve attorney-client privilege in a matter the transcript records as "Burke County versus Juan Pedro 25 CBS 57 Burke County Corp." The chair also said the board would consider employee qualifications, competence or fitness and to prevent disclosure of privileged information, citing state closed-session provisions.
The chair called for a vote, the board proceeded to the private session and invited a county code enforcement officer to attend portions of the closed meeting. No public details were released during the open meeting about the substance of the litigation or personnel matters; the board cited legal authority for the closed-session action on the record.
