Board returns to open session, certifies closed-session compliance and adjourns

A Westmoreland County board returned to open session and then certified that its recent closed session discussed only subjects covered under the cited code section and that no action was taken, before voting to adjourn.

An unidentified speaker opened the final sequence by moving "that we, return to, regular session." The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote; the chair said, "Ayes have it," and declared the motion carried. The transcript does not record individual names for that vote.

Shortly afterward the same speaker requested a formal certification motion to confirm the scope of the closed session and that no substantive action occurred, asking for a motion "that during the time of the closed session, only those items, that were outlined under the code section, were discussed and that no action was taken." The motion was moved and seconded. The transcript records a roll call for that certification: "Mister Trivette? Aye." "Mister Ingram? Aye." "Mister McCormick? Aye." "Mister Henson? Aye." The chair then voted "aye." The chair declared the certification motion passed.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that was seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair said, "Ayes have it. We stand adjourned," followed by courtesy remarks.

The transcript does not identify the mover or seconder by full name for the first and final motions, and it does not specify the exact code section referenced in the certification motion. The certification vote was recorded in the transcript as unanimous among the members who were named.
