Council moves to closed session citing North Carolina statutes to consider personnel matters
Summary
Citing North Carolina statutes, the chair moved the Robbinsville Town Council into closed session to consider personnel matters; a council member seconded the motion and the meeting prepared to adjourn to a personnel session.
The council moved to enter closed session to discuss personnel matters. The chair read statutory language and invoked North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(c) and North Carolina General Statute 160A-168, stating the meeting would close for permitted personnel discussion.
A council member seconded the motion and the council prepared to move into closed session; the transcript records the reading of the statutes and the motion but does not include the closed-session discussion itself.
Why it matters: North Carolina law allows governing bodies to move into closed session for specified topics including personnel. The council followed the statutory procedure by reading the cited statutes before adjourning into closed session.
Outcome: Motion to enter closed session was moved and seconded; the public portion of the meeting ended and the council moved to closed session for personnel as authorized by state statute.
