Summary
Council moved into closed session under N.C.G.S. 143‑318.11(a)(5) to discuss acquisition of real property at 801 and 803 AB Causeway and provided the town manager with an offering price and instructions to negotiate; motions to enter and exit closed session passed unanimously 3-0.
The Town Council entered closed session at 10:23 a.m. under North Carolina statute N.C.G.S. 143‑318.11(a)(5) to establish or instruct staff concerning negotiation of price and terms for acquiring real property located at 801 and 803 AB Causeway. The motion to enter closed session was made by Councilmember Joseph Starling, seconded (as recorded in the minutes) by Councilmember Austin Waters, and passed by unanimous vote of those present (3-0).
In closed session councilmembers discussed purchasing the properties and instructed Town Manager John O'Daniel to proceed with an offering price and directions for negotiation. The council then voted unanimously to exit the closed session at 11:14 a.m. The minutes record that no further public action was taken in open session before adjournment.
The entering and exiting of closed session were recorded as formal motions with 3-0 votes; the minutes state council provided direction to the town manager to negotiate purchase terms for the two AB Causeway parcels. The minutes do not disclose the offering price or other negotiation terms discussed in closed session, consistent with the statutory exemption invoked.
