Council votes to enter closed session to evaluate stormwater RFP responses
Summary
Virgin Town Council voted to close the meeting and enter an executive session to evaluate proposals for a stormwater study RFP, citing state procurement and open‑meeting statutes; a roll-call recorded named votes for at least two members.
Virgin Town Council voted to close the public meeting and enter a closed (executive) session to discuss evaluation of proposals submitted in response to the town’s stormwater study request for proposals.
The chair moved to close the public meeting for the evaluation of the stormwater RFP, citing state procurement and open‑meeting statutes as the legal basis for a closed meeting (the transcript references “52‑4‑205” and related procurement/open‑meeting provisions). A second was recorded and the council took a roll‑call vote; the transcript recorded named affirmative votes for “Misty” and “April.” The motion passed and the council scheduled the closed meeting to begin at 7:25 p.m. in a nonpublic location (noted in the meeting as 4 Bill Street at Bell Church).
Council members said the procurement rules and the need to discuss the relative competence and evaluations of consultants supported moving the RFP evaluation into private session to protect the integrity of proposals and to permit frank discussion of vendor scores. The chair cited the specific procurement sections discussed earlier as the rationale for the closed meeting and asked staff to follow the statutory closed‑meeting process.
The council did not take public action on contract awards during the open meeting; the closed session was intended to complete the evaluation process and to return to the public meeting with any formal action as required by statute.
