Board convenes closed session to consider appointments, property and legal matters
Summary
The board voted to convene an executive session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to discuss appointments to multiple authorities, potential real‑property acquisition/disposition and legal consultations; upon return the board certified compliance by roll call.
The Essex County Board of Supervisors moved into a closed session at the end of the work session to consider appointments, real‑property matters and legal advice in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
A supervisor made a motion to convene a closed meeting "pursuant to Code of Virginia" to discuss appointments to several advisory bodies and authorities, acquisition and disposition of public real property and consultation with legal counsel regarding agreements and transactions; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The motion text cited Virginia statutory authority for closed meetings.
After the closed session the board reconvened in open session and read a statutory certification. Chairman Akers and supervisors present each responded "I certify" when polled about whether the closed session conformed to law. The board then adjourned following a short break.
Action recorded: motion to convene an executive session was made and approved by voice. The board completed the required open‑meeting certification upon return to public session.
Provenance: motion and certification (SEG 2045–SEG 2137).
