The first change is to add a closed session for Monday, June 7, 2021 starting at 7:00 pm.  The purpose of the closed session is “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;” NCGS § 143-318.11(a)(6).  Per North Carolina State Statutes, the meeting will start in open session.  The public may attend the opening of the meeting until the closed session begins.  With the addition of a closed session on June 7, the closed sessions currently scheduled for May 11, May 13, and May 20, 2021 at 5:30 pm will be canceled.
