BOOK 22 PAGE 603 7. To plan, conduct, or hear reports concerning investigations of alleged criminal misconduct - per N.C. Gen Stat 143-318.11(a) (7). 8. To hear or investigate a change or complaint by or against an individual, public officer or employee - per N.C. Gen Stat 143- 318.11(x) (6). b) The Board may hold a closed session only upon a motion duly made and adopted at an open meeting. Every motion to close a meeting shall cite one or more of the permissible purposes listed in Subsection A of this rule. A motion based on preventing the disclosure of information that is privileged or confidential shall also state the name or citation of the law that renders the information to be discussed privileged or confidential. A motion based on consulting with an attorney in order to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the attorney and the public body shall identify the parties in each existing lawsuit concerning which the Board of Commissioners expects to receive advice during the closed session. Any motion to go into a closed session must be approved by a majority of those board members present and voting. C) Unless the motion to go into closed session provides otherwise, the county manager, county attorney, and clerk to the board may attend the closed session. No other person may attend the closed session unless specifically invited by majority vote of the board. d) When the board holds a closed session, it is simply a permission to exclude the public; it is not an authorization to prohibit those present from disclosing what occurred during the closed session. III. ORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD Rule 4 Organizational Meeting (a) Even-numbered Years. On the first Monday in December following a general election in which county officers are elected, the Board shall meet in the Commissioners' Room, Lee County Government Center, 106 Hill Crest Drive, Sanford, North Carolina, at a designated time.
