Frank Clifton said that Todd Jones will send this document in an email to the County <br /> Commissioners for feedback and will address the other issues that are raised. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that it has been five years since the County Commissioners <br /> asked Information Technology to bring a comprehensive wellness plan to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners and no one has shown the Board the most updated programs and the <br /> capabilities of what the County Commissioners have at their disposal currently. He said that, <br /> before anything else is done, this is a key component. Before anything else is done, <br /> Information Technology needs to meet with each Board member to find out their tech <br /> capability. <br /> Deputy Clerk to the Board David Hunt said that tonight was an experiment. He asked if <br /> there was anything that worked really well or did not work at all. <br /> Commissioner Hemminger said that the ability to see the slideshow on her computer <br /> was good. However, she could not see a whole page at a time on her computer. <br /> Commissioner McKee said that on the shorter abstracts it was easier to understand and <br /> read. On the long abstracts, it was almost impossible to read it and understand it. <br /> Commissioner Foushee said that she is glad they are moving in this direction and the <br /> directions given by staff to download information made it much easier. She was glad to not get <br /> a 500-page paper packet. <br /> Chair Pelissier said that she was very excited about doing this. She had trouble with a <br /> longer agenda item also, but she could get used to it. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that it would be helpful to refer in the body of a long <br /> document to a long map early on in a link that would prepare the County Commissioners to <br /> download it ahead of time so they will be ready when that item is discussed. <br /> 8. Closed Session <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Hemminger to go into closed session at 10:35:20 PM for the purposes of: <br /> "To consult with an attorney employed or retained by the public body in order to preserve the <br /> attorney - client privilege between the attorney and the public body, which privilege is hereby <br /> acknowledged," NCGS § 143-318.11(a)(3); and <br /> "To discuss matters related to the location or expansion of industries or other businesses in the <br /> area served by the public body, including agreement on a tentative list of economic <br /> development incentives that may be offered by the public body in negotiations," NCGS § 143- <br /> 318.11(a)(4); and <br /> "To discuss the County's position and to instruct the County Manager and County Attorney on <br /> the negotiating position regarding the terms of a contract to purchase real property," NCGS § <br /> 143-318.11(a)(5); and <br /> "To consider the qualifications, competence, performance, character, fitness, conditions of <br /> appointment, or conditions of initial employment of an individual public officer or employee or <br /> prospective public officer or employee;" NCGS § 143-318.11(a) (6). <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> RECONVENE INTO REGULAR SESSION <br />
