Leesburg council unanimously declines to request Church Street closure; authorizes mayor to notify county
Summary
At the July 21 work session the council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to send a letter to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors declining to close Church Street between Market Street and Cornwall, following a closed‑session legal consultation under Virginia code.
The Leesburg Town Council voted unanimously on July 21 to authorize the mayor to send a letter to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors indicating the town’s decision not to close Church Street between Market Street and Cornwall.
The motion to authorize the mayor to send the letter was made after the council met in closed session under §2.2‑3711(A)(8) of the Code of Virginia for consultation with legal counsel regarding the potential Church Street closure. After the closed session, the council certified that only matters lawfully exempted from the Virginia Freedom of Information Act had been discussed.
Council then moved to authorize the mayor to send the decline letter; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. A roll‑call style confirmation in the transcript recorded all members voting “Aye”: Vice Mayor; Mister Wilt; Mister Cummings; Mister Steinberg; Miss Nacy; Mister Krakowski; and the mayor.
The formal action is limited to authorizing the mayor to send the letter and does not itself change town code or county road jurisdiction. Staff indicated no further immediate action at the meeting.
