Virginia Beach City Council moves to recess into closed session
Summary
Council voted to recess into a closed session to discuss legal matters, property, contracts and appointments; a motion and second were recorded and the roll call returned unanimous 'Aye' votes from members present.
At the end of the public session the chair asked for a motion to recess into closed session under the exemptions in the Code of Virginia for consultation with legal counsel, probable litigation, acquisition or disposition of publicly held property, public‑contract negotiations and personnel matters involving appointments. A motion to recess was made, seconded and the clerk proceeded to a roll call where members present responded "Aye." The meeting recessed into closed session.
The motion cited Code of Virginia provisions for closed meetings and listed the subject matters to be discussed in closed session: Atlantic Park legal matters, likely or pending litigation briefings, acquisition of real property (district 10), negotiation of a public contract (field house) and appointment matters for boards and commissions. The council recorded the motion and voted to proceed with the closed session; no formal public votes on those substantive matters were taken during the open session.
