12.CLOSED SESSION
A.Closed Session as authorized by North Carolina General Statute Section 143-318.11 (3)
to meet with Town Attorney regarding potential Litigation arising from delinquent
Privilege Licenses
Finance Director Greg Siler reported that Privilege Licenses are to be renewed each July. After
July 31st, businesses are considered delinquent. There are now 12 delinquent businesses and the
Town is requesting the Board authorize Town Attorney to pursue collection.
Commissioner Lowen stated that he feels the authorization to proceed with delinquent Privilege
Licenses collection should be delegated to the Town Manager instead of having to be brought
before the Town Board each time. The Board discussed transfer of the authorization, and
agreed to give the Town Manager the authority to authorize the pursuance of delinquent
Privilege License collection.
ADDED CLOSED SESSION ITEM: Corbinton Commons Update
The Board discussed the Corbinton Commons court decision. Town Attorney Bob Hornik
stated that there is no automatic right to appeal. The Town could file for a petition of
discretionary review. Most of these petitions are denied. He stated that the Board’s options are
to litigate out the other two outstanding court cases Corbinton Commons now has pending, or to
sit down with them and try to work out differences and find common ground, or ask the
Supreme Court to take the case on discretionary review.
The Board discussed their desire to pursue litigation through the Supreme Court.
B.Closed Session as authorized by North Carolina General Statute Section 143- 318.11(6)
to Conduct the Town Manager’s Annual Performance Evaluation
