Commissioner declares recusal from Social Services takeover vote
Summary
During the special meeting, a commissioner said they would excuse themselves from the vote to assume control of the Social Services Board because they are a sitting member of that board; the recusal was announced before the voice vote.
A member of the Bertie County Board of Commissioners announced they would be excused from the vote to assume direct control of the Bertie County Social Services Board because the member also serves on that Social Services Board.
“Mister chairman, at this point in time, I will exclude ... myself ... because I'm a ... sitting board member of the social service,” the commissioner said, and indicated they would not take part in the vote. The remark was recorded before the motion was seconded and advanced by voice vote.
The transcript does not identify the recusing commissioner by full name in their speaking turn. The chair and other members proceeded with the motion after the declaration of recusal; no roll-call vote was recorded in the public transcript.
