Summary

Council members voted to enter closed session under North Carolina statutes to consult with the town attorney, discuss price and material terms of potential real property transactions and review confidential personnel matters.

At the end of the Jan. 12 workshop a council member moved to enter closed session citing North Carolina statutes; another member formally moved and council members voted to go into closed session.

The motion referenced North Carolina General Statutes as stated in the meeting: "NCGS 143-318.11(a)(3) to consult with an attorney and preserve the attorney-client privilege, (a)(5) to establish or instruct negotiating agents concerning the price and other material terms of a contract to purchase real property, and (a)(6) to review or discuss confidential personnel matters." A council member then moved to go into closed session and members voted in favor by voice.

No decisions or votes on the referenced matters were conducted in open session; the council proceeded to closed session for attorney consultation and confidential negotiations and personnel discussions, as authorized by the cited statutes.
