Following a closed meeting the board returned to open session and, by unanimous roll call, authorized the Office of the County Attorney to cooperate with the Virginia State Police and the appropriate public body in any ongoing investigation as briefed in closed session. The board also authorized the county attorney to prepare and file a complaint regarding the actions of a person subject to the public body's oversight.
The closed session had been convened under provisions of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to discuss acquisition of real property, multi‑state insulin litigation, and consultation with counsel on matters of ethics and board authority. The board's post‑closed‑session motion asked staff to proceed with cooperation and to prepare filings as necessary; the motion was made by Mr. Mullins and carried by roll call with all members voting aye.
