After executive session, committee forwards Mitchellville appraisal to council
Summary
Citing legal advice in executive session under S.C. Code §30-4-78.2, the committee voted unanimously to forward a Valbridge appraisal (dated 01/31/2025) for the 26.69-acre Mitchellville property to council for consideration of payment consistent with the appraisal and prior grant terms.
The committee moved into executive session under South Carolina law to receive legal advice on contractual terms and potential claims related to the Mitchellville property purchase and appraisal. After returning to open session, a committee member moved to forward the Valbridge appraisal for the 26.69-acre Mitchell property, dated Jan. 31, 2025, to council with a recommendation to consider approval of the appraisal and payment consistent with the appraisal and prior grant terms.
The motion carried unanimously by voice/hand vote. Committee members said the action was procedural following executive-session legal advice; staff will provide the appraisal to the clerk and council as part of the official record.
Why it matters: Forwarding the appraisal advances a county property-acquisition matter that could involve significant payment and contractual negotiation. The committee cited S.C. Code §30-4-78.2 as the statutory basis for private legal consultation in executive session.
Next steps: Staff will place the Valbridge appraisal and the applicant's correspondence into the council record for final consideration.
