Beaufort County caucus to enter executive session to discuss legal advice, property and personnel
Summary
The chair read statutory bases for an executive session covering legal advice on pending claims, negotiations over real property in unincorporated Beaufort County described in the transcript as the 'North Widgeon Tracks,' economic development related to 'Project Cloud' at Hilton Head Airport, and employment/personnel matters. A motion by Councilman Vassman to enter executive session passed by voice vote.
The chair announced that the caucus would adjourn into executive session to receive legal advice and discuss negotiations and personnel matters, citing South Carolina statutory provisions as the legal basis.
As read aloud, the chair listed the statutory bases: "South Carolina code section 30 dash 4 dash 78 2, receipt of legal advice where the advice relates to pending, threatened, or potential claim..." and cited additional sections under 30-4-70(a) concerning negotiations incident to proposed contractual arrangements and discussion of matters relating to location or expansion of industries. The chair identified a parcel described in the transcript as the "North Widgeon Tracks" in unincorporated Beaufort County and referenced economic development tied to "Project Cloud at the Hilton Head Airport." The transcript also records the chair listing employment-related topics that may be discussed in executive session.
A motion to go into executive session was recorded: the transcript notes a motion by Councilman Vassman, a second, and an affirmative voice/show-of-hands vote. The chair cautioned there "may or may not be items to arise out of Executive Session." The body then adjourned to the executive session location indicated by the chair.
