Council moves into closed session on personnel matters, then appoints members to boards and commissions
Summary
Council voted to enter a closed meeting under Virginia Code §2.2‑3711 for multiple personnel and contract matters, later certified the closed session and approved several appointments to city boards and commissions.
The Hopewell City Council voted to go into closed session on March 26 under Virginia Code §2.2‑3711(a)(1), (a)(29) and (a)(8) to discuss personnel matters, board and commission appointments, city‑manager and city‑clerk contracts, bargaining positions and other legal matters. The motion to enter closed session was made and seconded and carried on a roll call vote of 5–0 (as recorded during that agenda item).
After the closed session the council returned to open session, read the statutory certification required by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and then voted on appointments discussed in closed session. Council appointed Latonya Doctor and Brenda Pelham to the Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT); Roslyn Capers to District 19; Chris Lofstrom to the Architecture Review Board; and Todd Butterworth to the Planning Commission. The roll‑call vote approving those appointments was recorded as 5–0.
The council later completed the regular meeting and recorded consent actions and agenda approvals as part of the open meeting session.
