Manassas council approves closed session authorization on potential sale under P3 Act (Resolution R2026‑192)
Summary
Council adopted Resolution R2026‑192 authorizing a closed meeting to consider an unsolicited proposal for the potential sale of city property under the Public‑Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act; roll call showed unanimous 'yes' votes and the motion carried.
The Manassas City Council adopted Resolution R2026‑192 to authorize a closed meeting to consider the potential sale of city‑owned property under an unsolicited proposal received pursuant to the Public‑Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act.
At the meeting the city attorney recommended that discussion of the unsolicited proposal be held in closed session under the named statutory authority. A council member moved adoption of Resolution R2026‑192; the subsequent roll call recorded affirmative votes by council members present and the motion carried.
Why it matters: the resolution authorizes a closed session to discuss negotiating terms and conditions of a potential disposition under the Virginia Public‑Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act — a statutory process that permits certain public‑private partnerships and may involve confidential proposal terms until the city decides how to proceed.
Vote record: roll‑call votes were recorded as “yes” by the members polled and the chair announced the motion carried.
Ending: Council convened the closed session after adopting the resolution. No sale or final action was taken in open session; the authorization permits confidential discussion of the unsolicited proposal under the cited state authority.
