Falls Church Council holds closed session to discuss potential acquisition at 222 West Cameron
Summary
After its work session Oct. 21 the council entered closed session under Va. Code §2.2‑3711(A)(3) to discuss possible purchase of private property in the floodway at 222 West Cameron; council reconvened, certified the closed session and recorded unanimous roll‑call certification.
At about 9:34 p.m. on Oct. 21 the Falls Church City Council voted to enter closed session under Virginia Code §2.2‑3711(A)(3), citing discussion, consideration or acquisition of real property for a public purpose where an open meeting would adversely affect bargaining strategy. The property under discussion was identified on the record as private property in the floodway at 222 West Cameron.
The motion to close the meeting passed on roll call; council reconvened and certified, by affirmative roll call, that only public business lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements had been discussed. The city clerk recorded the certification on the meeting minutes. No further public details on negotiations or terms were released at the session’s public reconvening.
