King George Board removes appointee from Economic Development and Planning commissions after closed-session certification
Summary
Following a closed-session discussion pursuant to Virginia law, the Board of Supervisors voted to remove Ian Fox from the King George Economic Development Commission and the Planning Commission for an alleged violation of the Virginia Conflict of Interest Act.
After convening in a closed session to discuss a specific public officer, the King George County Board of Supervisors certified that only lawfully exempt matters were discussed and returned to public session. Immediately afterward, a motion was made and seconded to remove Ian Fox from the King George Economic Development Commission and from the Planning Commission for an alleged violation of section 2.2-3112 of the Virginia Conflict of Interest Act.
The board conducted a roll-call vote on the removal motion; the motion passed and the chair declared it carried. The transcript records the motion wording and the roll-call certification of the closed session; no further disciplinary detail or explanation was provided in public minutes during the meeting beyond the statutory citation and the board vote.
What's next: the removal will be reflected in the board’s appointments records and staffing/clerical offices will update commission rosters and public notices as required.
