Caucus cites South Carolina code, goes into executive session on legal and personnel matters
Summary
The chair cited South Carolina Code sections permitting executive sessions for attorney-client privileged legal advice and personnel matters; the caucus voted to enter executive session and later reconvened to act on business arising from it.
The chair stated that the meeting would consider items under the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act and cited South Carolina Code provisions allowing executive session for legal advice and personnel matters, specifically referencing sections read aloud as "30 dash 4 dash 70 a 1" and "30 dash 4 dash 70 a 2." The chair identified two subjects for executive session: matters concerning the Bluffton Township Fire District and a separate matter described as "UPS food litigation." The chair asked for a motion to enter executive session under those statutory authorities.
A motion was recorded (announced as from Glover) to go into executive session; a second was made and the chair indicated the council would go into executive session by a show of hands. The meeting later reconvened and the chair said there was business coming out of executive session, after which the caucus considered and acted on a suspension related to the Bluffton Township Fire District. The transcript records no detailed public discussion of the legal matters themselves, consistent with the stated invocation of attorney-client privilege.
