Council votes to enter closed session to consider appointments under Virginia FOIA
Summary
After the briefing, a councilor moved and the council voted to convene a closed session under Virginia Code §§2.2-3712 and 2.2-3711(a)(1) to discuss prospective candidates for multiple boards and commissions; the motion was seconded and approved (tally not specified).
At the end of the public work session on Dec. 16, Speaker 3 moved that Charlottesville City Council close its open meeting and convene in closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Speaker 3 read the authorization and the topics for the closed session: discussion and consideration of prospective candidates to be appointed to the Airport Commission, Housing Authority, Solid Waste Authority Board, and Water and Sewer Authority Board.
Speaker 3: "I move that the city council close this open meeting and convene in a closed session. It's authorized by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act as follows." Speaker 5 seconded the motion. The chair (Speaker 2) then called for and completed the vote; the council entered closed session. The motion cited Virginia Code § 2.2-3712 and § 2.2-3711(a)(1).
The transcript records the motion, the second, and that the council "We're in, closed session." The record does not include a roll-call vote tally or list of votes by name in the public segment; those details are not specified in the transcript excerpt.
