Council casts vote after executive session

At the end of a long night for the Oconee County Council, the council passed a motion that left some in the audience wondering. There were no details provided after the following motion by District Three’s Paul Cain passed unanimously: “My motion is that we direct the administrator to proceed pursuant to the terms discussed in executive session.” The council moved into the private meeting around 6:45 and did not emerge until two hours later. The stated purpose for the executive session was an economic development matter and a pending litigation matter—neither of which was specified.
