Board votes to enter closed session on county administrator matter, then adjourns work session

During the same work session, a motion to enter closed session for a personnel matter concerning the county administrator was made and seconded. An unidentified speaker moved to enter closed session “as permitted by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act for the purpose of discussion or consideration of a personnel matter concerning the county administrator as permitted by section 2.2‑3711(A)(1) of the Code of Virginia.”

The motion was seconded, called and approved. After the closed meeting, the board returned to open session, certified that only lawfully exempted public business matters were discussed, and recorded a roll-call certification. Mr. Nichol, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Hale, Mr. Marshall and Mr. VanHoeven each stated “Aye” during the certification. The work session was then adjourned by unanimous voice vote.

No further details about the personnel matter were discussed on the public record in this transcript.

The action taken was procedural and limited to entering and certifying a closed session under the statutory exemption for personnel matters; the transcript does not disclose any personnel decisions or outcomes made in closed session.
