Columbus County commissioners recess closed session and approve general count

The Columbus County Board of Commissioners recessed its closed session and returned to regular session after a motion identified in the record as moved by Commissioner Bullard and seconded by Commissioner Floyd was approved by voice vote.

The chair told the board that during the closed session commissioners discussed personnel matters, economic development and attorney-client matters and that no action was taken. Later in the meeting Commissioner Byrd moved that “the general count be approved”; that motion was seconded by Commissioner Bullard and likewise carried by voice vote.

The board announced it would recess again to 6:30 p.m. The transcript records the procedural motions, the named mover and second for each motion and the chair’s summary of closed-session topics; it does not record roll-call vote tallies or additional deliberations on the matters mentioned. No formal actions stemming from the closed-session discussions were reported in the record.

The meeting proceeded with routine procedural business and was recessed to 6:30 p.m.
