Board votes to enter closed session to discuss Region 2000 Services Authority litigation
Summary
The Nelson County Board of Supervisors voted to enter closed session under Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(7) to consult with legal counsel about litigation pertaining to the Region 2000 Services Authority.
Supervisor Mister Rutherford moved that the Nelson County Board of Supervisors go into closed session to consult with legal counsel and staff briefings on litigation related to the Region 2000 Services Authority as permitted by Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(7). A second was recorded and the board adopted the motion by roll-call vote.
Roll call: Doctor Leggett — Yes; Mister Parr — Yes; Mister Rutherford — Yes; Mister Freeth — Yes; (other named supervisors also recorded yes votes). The board then recessed into closed session for the stated purpose.
The motion cited the Virginia statute that allows closed consultation with counsel when open discussion would harm the public body's negotiating or litigating posture; no substantive details about the litigation were discussed in the open session beyond the statutory citation and the general subject of the litigation.
