Summary
At its Nov. 13 meeting the Hideout Town Council voted to enter a closed session to discuss litigation. Two members were explicitly recorded voting 'yes' and the presiding official declared the motion carried before the council recessed into closed session.
The Hideout Town Council voted to enter a closed session to discuss matters of litigation during its Nov. 13 regular meeting.
The presiding official announced the council would "go into... to discuss matters of litigation," then asked for a motion to move into closed session. A motion was made and seconded; the transcript records participants saying "So moved" and "I'll second."
When the vote was taken, a participant identified as JJ said "Yes, sir," and a participant identified as Jonathan later answered "Yes." The presiding official then declared, "So motion carries," and the council recessed into closed session to address litigation-related matters. The transcript includes no detailed description of the litigation or any statutory citation beyond an unclear shorthand, "It's I and b." The record does not specify a complete vote tally or identify who moved and seconded by name.
No other substantive agenda items were discussed on the public record in the minutes provided; the meeting proceeded immediately into the closed-session portion after the motion.
The council did not announce a timetable for returning to open session or provide further public details about the litigation during the recorded portion of the meeting.
