Waynesboro council recesses to closed session to consult on multiple legal matters
Summary
Council moved into a closed meeting under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to consult with counsel about several litigation matters and later certified the closed session.
The council voted to recess into a closed meeting under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to consult with the city attorney and be briefed by staff on multiple matters of actual and probable litigation. The motion cited Virginia Code section 2.2‑3711 (and related sections as recited during the meeting) and named the subject matters as stormwater management issues and cases involving Hopeman Land Company, Michael W. Martin, and Bridal Collins.
After the closed session the council reconvened in open session and unanimously adopted a certification resolution stating that only matters lawfully exempted from the open‑meeting requirements and identified in the motion were discussed. The council then adjourned.
