At its Jan. 14 meeting the Greene County Board of Supervisors elected Steve Catalano as chair, named Marie Durer vice chair, authorized a closed meeting on legal matters, approved the consent agenda and adopted a change to audiovisual/agenda submission timing; roll-call votes were recorded for the named actions.
The Greene County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 14 elected Steve Catalano chair, named Marie Durer vice chair, authorized a closed meeting for legal consultation, approved a consent agenda and adopted a change to audiovisual submission timing for presentations.
The board chose Catalano for chair after roll-call balloting that produced three votes for Steve Catalano and two for Davis Lamb. The board then elected Marie Durer as vice chair by roll-call vote. The meeting minutes record that members followed the county bylaws for nominations and that each member announced their vote when called.
The board voted to enter a closed meeting to receive legal advice on a zoning case, a Freedom of Information Act matter and a general district court ruling. The motion cited the Code of Virginia (section 2.2-3711 A.7 and A.8) as the basis for the closed session; the motion and subsequent roll call votes to authorize the closed meeting appear in the official minutes.
Other formal actions recorded by the board included: adoption of the consent agenda (roll-call approval), approval of a meeting schedule for calendar year 2025, reappointment of board liaisons and committee representatives, adoption of a package of resolutions and a procedural change to audiovisual submission timing (see details below). The board adjourned at the conclusion of the agenda.
