PPIC moves to closed session to discuss Burgess Point Road property disposition and VIG legal consultation, then certifies return to open meeting
Summary
The Portsmouth PPIC voted 6-0 to enter a closed meeting under Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(3) to discuss disposition of 3920 and 3930 Burgess Point Road and to consult counsel on matters related to Virginia International Gateway; the commission later certified the closed meeting and returned to open session by roll call, 6-0.
The Portsmouth Public-Private Investment Commission voted 6-0 on March 25 to go into a closed meeting under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act exception for real-estate negotiations and legal consultation. The motion cited Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(3) and identified the purposes as discussion of the disposition of real property (3920 and 3930 Burgess Point Road) where open discussion would harm the commission's bargaining position, and consultation with legal counsel regarding specific matters related to Virginia International Gateway (VIG).
After the closed meeting, the commission reconvened in open session and, by roll-call vote, certified that only public business lawfully exempted under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act had been discussed and that only the matters identified in the motion were considered. The certification vote was recorded 6-0.
The commission did not disclose additional details about negotiations or legal advice in the public session.
