The Surry County Board of Commissioners recessed its Jan. 6, 2025 meeting and scheduled a continuation for Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025, at 6 p.m., citing safety concerns that affected meeting logistics.
Commissioner Mark Marion moved to recess the Jan. 6 meeting until Jan. 9; Commissioner Bill Goins seconded the motion. A staff member asked that the motion specify 6 p.m., and the board approved the amended motion by voice vote. The presiding official announced the motion carried and closed the meeting.
Board members referenced the board's rules of procedure, which allow the board to convene remotely when safety concerns prevent meeting in the chambers provided simultaneous communication is available for board members and the public. Meeting remarks referred to recent thawing and an expected freeze that factored into the decision to recess and reconvene remotely or at a later date.
The board gave no roll-call vote tally in the record; the meeting minutes note only that the motion carried. The board adjourned following the recess motion; no other substantive business was recorded in the provided transcript.
