Commissioners approve two $2,500 gifts, move into closed session and adjourn
Summary
Lee County commissioners approved two one-time $2,500 gifts (Helping Hands Clinic and OMI), voted to enter closed session to discuss a business location expansion, and adjourned the special called meeting.
During the June 29 special called meeting, commissioners authorized two one‑time gifts of $2,500 each from commissioners' budget line items to Helping Hands Clinic and to OMI, to be executed at the county manager's discretion.
The chair described those transfers as coming from conference, meetings, and travel line items in the FY27 commissioners' budget; the county manager said he would prepare a budget amendment in July to make the transfers formal if the motions were approved. The board approved the motions by voice vote.
Later in the meeting, a motion was made to enter closed session under the North Carolina statute cited by the board to discuss matters related to the location expansion of a business; the board voted to move into closed session and asked the public to leave. The meeting was subsequently adjourned by voice vote.
The transcript records the approved one‑time transfers and the closed‑session motion; details about the business under discussion and the final budget amendment language were not disclosed in open session.
