Votes at a glance: council approves EV parking ordinance, adopts consent agenda and enters closed session
Summary
At the meeting the council adopted the consent agenda (including a resolution supporting a Well 2 grant request), approved an ordinance restricting certain parking stalls to electric-vehicle charging, and voted to convene a closed session to consult with counsel on pending litigation.
Middleburg’s Town Council approved three formal items during the meeting: adoption of the consent agenda, passage of an ordinance adding electric-vehicle parking restrictions in two town lots, and a motion to convene a closed session to consult legal counsel on pending litigation.
Consent agenda: The council adopted the consent agenda by voice vote. The consent agenda included routine items and a resolution supporting a state grant request to assist with restoring Well 2 (the grant request was described by staff as targeted at getting Well 2 back into operation).
EV parking ordinance: The council considered and adopted an ordinance amending Town Code chapter 89 to mark specific parking stalls for electric-vehicle (EV) charging. The ordinance designates four EV charging spaces in the Liberty Street lot (of 26 spaces there) and two spaces at the town hall; signage will limit parking in those stalls to vehicles actively charging. A council member asked whether the charger sits inside the stall; staff clarified the charger is adjacent to the stall.
The ordinance motion was made and seconded at the meeting; the council conducted a roll-call-style confirmation and the recorded votes were all in favor. Recorded roll-call statements listed: Vice Mayor Bernard — Aye; Council member Curran — Aye; Council member Daley — Aye; Council member Jacobs — Aye; Council member Kirk — Aye; Council member Leonard Morgan — Aye; Council member Pierce — Aye. Outcome: approved (7–0).
