Swain County commissioners approve county manager contract after closed session
Summary
After a closed session for contract negotiation, the board voted to accept a county manager employment agreement; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote on July 21, 2026.
The Swain County Board of Commissioners convened a closed session under NCGS 143-318.11(a)(5) for contract negotiations and returned to open session to approve a county manager agreement.
Following the closed session the chair asked for a motion: "Do I have a motion we accept the contract for the county manager agreement?" A commissioner moved and another seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and commissioners indicated approval. The board recorded the motion, a second and a voice vote; the transcript records the contract as accepted but does not include a roll-call tally or the contract's financial terms in open session.
The meeting packet referenced a closed-session citation and described the session as a contract negotiation; commissioners provided no additional public details of contract terms at the meeting.
