BOOK 44 HGt 602 'Elk 3. To consult with an attorney employed or retained by the Board of Commissioners in order to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the attorney and the Board of Commissioners, which privilege is hereby acknowledged. General policy matters may not be discussed in a closed session and nothing herein shall be construed to permit the Board of Commissioners to close a meeting that otherwise would be open merely because an attorney employed or retained by the Board of Commissioners is a participant. The Board of Commissioners may consider and give instructions to an attorney concerning the handling or settlement of a claim, judicial action, or administrative procedure. If the Board of Commissions has approved or considered a settlement, other than a malpractice settlement by or on behalf of a hospital, in a closed session, the terms of that settlement shall be reported to the Board of Commissioners and entered into its minutes as soon as possible within a reasonable time after the settlement is concluded - per N.C. Gen Stat 143-318.11(a) (3). 4. To discuss matters relating to the location or expansion of industries or other businesses in the area served by the Board of Commissioners - per N.C.

Gen Stat 143- 318.11(a) (5). 6. To consider the qualifications, competence, performance, character, fitness, conditions of appointment, or conditions of initial employment of an individual public officer or employee or prospective public officer or employee; or to hear or investigate a complaint, charge, or grievance by or against an individual public officer or employee. General personnel policy issues may not be considered in a closed session. A public body may not consider the qualifications, competence, performance, character, fitness, appointment, or removal of a member of the Board of Commissioners or another body and may not consider or fill a vacancy among its own membership except in open meeting. The final action making an appointment or discharge or removal by the Board of Commissioners having final authority for the appointment or discharge or removal shall be taken in an open meeting - per N.C. Gen Stat 143-318.11(a) (6). 2
