Senior Staff Attorney Monica Jackson presented the Town of Angier's request that 331
Courtland Drive be conveyed to Town of Angier from County of Harnett. The property contains
a pump station with a tax value of $25,000. She noted the property was conveyed to the County
by the Dorman's in 2011 and is a residential lot. Mr. Jeffries noted it looks like a buildable lot.
It was the consensus of the commissioners to consider approving this request, but including a
reverter clause if they discontinue use for pump station, during an upcoming regular meeting.
Commissioner McKoy moved that the Board go into closed session for the following purposes:
(1) To discuss certain personnel matters; and
(2) To consult with the County's legal staff in order to preserve the attorney-client
privilege concerning the handling of a potential claim; and
(3) To discuss matters relating to economic development in Harnett County.
This motion is made pursuant to N.C. General Statute Section 143-318.11(a)(6)&(5)&(4).
Commissioner Miller seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Commissioner Elmore moved that the Board come out of closed session. Commissioner Miller
seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Commissioner Elmore moved to adjourn the meeting at 11:23 am. Commissioner McKoy
seconded the motion that passed unanimously.
