What this was about
The Kershaw County Council held a special called meeting on May 30, 2023, primarily to enter into an executive session. The purpose of this closed-door meeting was to receive an attorney-client privileged legal briefing concerning a pending, threatened, or potential legal claim as permitted under South Carolina Code Section 30-4-70. This session allowed council members to consult with legal counsel regarding sensitive litigation matters away from the public eye. Consistent with state transparency requirements, the council confirmed upon returning to public session that no decisions were made and no votes were taken while in executive session. The meeting was attended by the full council, with some members joining via phone or Zoom. This procedural session ensures the county remains informed on active legal threats that could impact taxpayer resources or county liability. The council concluded the meeting immediately after exiting the executive session with no further legislative business conducted.
