[edit] City Council discusses Willowbank condo lawsuit

"Just a bare quorum of Georgetown City Council met in a special meeting Thursday afternoon to discuss one of several lawsuits. The specific case being discussed was the Willowbank condos lawsuit.

Another series of issues with Thursday's meeting had to do with apparent violations of the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Executive sessions are permitted for the purpose of receiving legal advice. However, an executive session has to come after a formal opening of a meeting of a governing body, such as a City Council. Members must vote in public to go into executive session, and when that session is concluded the Council members must return to a public session and specifically state that no votes or actions were taken while in executive session.

None of that happened Thursday afternoon."
