Board Enters Closed Session for Legal and Real‑Property Matters, Returns and Certifies Meeting
Summary
The board moved into a closed session under the Code of Virginia for consultation with legal counsel and real‑property acquisition negotiations, then returned and certified that only permitted topics were discussed.
The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors voted to convene a closed meeting April 10 pursuant to the Code of Virginia’s closed‑meeting provisions for consultation with legal counsel and for discussion of real‑property acquisition where open discussion could harm the county’s bargaining position.
On the record a motion was made and the board signaled approval to adjourn into closed session. After the closed session the board reconvened and a certification motion was made, with members present verbally indicating "Aye"; the certification stated that only public business matters lawfully exempted from open‑meeting requirements were discussed and that only the matters identified in the motion were considered in closed session.
The agenda review record does not include detail of the legal advice or the specific property under negotiation — those matters were handled in closed session and were not disclosed during the public portion of the meeting review. The procedural votes to enter closed session and to certify the closed session were recorded in the agenda review.
