Board convenes closed meeting for personnel matters, returns and certifies under Virginia FOIA
Summary
The Board met in closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to discuss personnel and later certified by roll call that only lawfully exempted matters were discussed; no board action was required upon return to open meeting.
The Northumberland County Board of Supervisors convened a closed meeting to discuss personnel matters and later certified the closed session by roll call.
During the county administrator items, a motion was made to convene a closed meeting "pursuant to Virginia Freedom of Information Act, section 2.23711 a 1" for personnel matters and to invite the county administrator and assistant county administrator as necessary. The board moved into closed session after a second. The motion as spoken in the meeting referenced the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and invited the county administrator and assistant county administrator to attend.
After the closed session, the board reconvened in public and took a certification roll call, with Supervisors Williams, Long, Brand, Fisher and Haney recorded as voting "aye" that only matters lawfully exempted under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act were discussed, and that the meeting had not strayed to nonexempt business. A county staff member said no action by the board was required following the closed meeting.
The transcript does not record the substance of the personnel discussion because it was held in closed session under state law.
