Carroll County EDA approves minutes, treasurer report, closed-session certification and split of auction proceeds

The Carroll County EDA Development Authority handled routine business and several formal actions at its Dec. 17 meeting, approving minutes and invoices, conducting a closed session and certifying it, and authorizing a split of auction proceeds.

The board approved the minutes of the November meeting after a motion and second; the motion carried on a voice vote (no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript). The treasurer's report and payment of invoices were approved, including an additional line item to 58 Market for refreshments totaling $65.63.

Later in the meeting the board voted to convene a closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, citing Virginia Code 2.2-3711, A3 and A7. After returning to open session the board read a certification stating that only matters lawfully exempt were discussed and each member responded vocally, "I certify." The transcript records the certification being read and members verbally certifying; it does not list a roll-call vote or named vote tallies.

Following the closed-session certification, a board member moved "I'd like to make a motion that the Carroll County EDA give the Carroll County Board of Supervisors half of the proceeds from the auction held on 07/20/2024 minus the expenses." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting minutes note the motion carried. The board then moved to adjourn.

All votes in the transcript were recorded as verbal ayes and no roll-call or named tallies were provided; where names were not used the transcript records only voice responses. The meeting adjourned at the close of these items.
