Council holds closed session on land acquisition and personnel, cites North Carolina statutes
Summary
At a special July 23 meeting the council moved into closed session to discuss potential land acquisition under N.C. Gen. Stat. 143-318.11(a)(5) and personnel under (a)(6); the council returned to open session and approved a town manager contract.
The council convened a special meeting July 23 at 4:00 p.m. and the chair said the purpose was to go into closed session to discuss potential land acquisition under North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(a)(5) and to discuss specific personnel under 143-318.11(a)(6).
The chair asked for a motion to go into closed session; a motion and a second were recorded and the council proceeded to close the public portion of the meeting. The transcript shows the council returned to open session at 4:28 p.m. but does not record the content of the closed-session deliberations on land or personnel.
After returning to open session the council acted on an employment matter by approving a contract to hire Catherine Cathy as town manager, effective Sept. 28. The council did not provide on-the-record details of the closed-session discussion; the statutory citations given on the record are the only public justification for using closed session.
The meeting concluded with an adjournment announced by the chair at 4:29 p.m.
