Board met in closed session and gave direction to staff; minutes sealed
Summary
The Durham County Board of Commissioners moved into closed session citing statute language read aloud; after closed session the chair reported direction was given to staff and the board voted to seal the closed-session minutes before adjourning.
The board moved into closed session during the March 24 meeting, citing a statutory reference read as "general statute 1 43 dash 3 1 8 dot 11 a 5." The motion to enter closed session was moved by Commissioner Valentine and seconded by Commissioner Burton; the board returned to open session and the chair reported that direction had been given to staff. The board then moved to seal the closed-session minutes and adjourned.
The closed session was described in the meeting as authorized by the statute recited by the chair. No substantive details of the closed-session discussion were disclosed at the public meeting beyond the chair's statement that direction was given to staff and the board's subsequent motion to seal the closed-session minutes.
