Board convenes closed session to discuss acquisition of real property for solid‑waste management; returns and certifies closed session
Summary
The Board entered a closed session under Virginia Code §2.2‑3711(A)(3) to discuss acquisition of real property for solid‑waste management and later certified that only lawful exempt matters were discussed.
The Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors voted to convene a closed session to discuss acquisition of real property for the public purpose of county solid‑waste management. The motion cited the exemption in the Code of Virginia §2.2‑3711(A)(3), which allows closed meeting discussion when public disclosure could harm the bargaining position of a locality.
After the closed session, the board returned to open session and adopted a certification resolution required by §2.2‑3712 of the Code of Virginia stating, to the best of each member’s knowledge, that only lawfully exempt business had been discussed and only matters identified in the motion were considered. No departures from the required procedures were recorded in the minutes.
The board scheduled follow‑up discussions in open session and directed staff to continue negotiations as appropriate; no public details about the property or contractual terms were discussed in open session.
