Halifax supervisors authorize contracts, appointments and enter closed session for personnel
Summary
After a closed-session authorization under Virginia law to discuss personnel, the board approved an hourly consulting contract with Tamika Morgan and the Berkeley Group for financial services, appointed the county administrator to multiple advisory committees, and amended minutes to appoint Ron Bridal to the Southside Planning District Commission.
The Halifax County Board of Supervisors authorized several personnel and contracting actions and approved entry into closed session for personnel matters.
The board voted to go into closed session under Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(1) for discussion and interviews of prospective candidates for employment and other personnel matters. The motion to enter closed session was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Following closed session, the board authorized the county administrator to enter into an hourly consulting contract with Tamika Morgan to provide financial services and to transition financial functions to the Berkeley Group. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board also moved to appoint the county administrator to the usual set of advisory committees — including the housing rehab board, community planning management team, drug court advisory committee, Southside Regional Service Authority, tourism and broadband, workforce development and related bodies — replacing the former county administrator. That motion was approved by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved an amendment to the Nov. 3 meeting record to appoint Ron Bridal to the Southside Planning District Commission, replacing Scott Simpson, for a term through Dec. 31, 2028. The motion to amend the minutes and appoint Bridal was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
The motions recorded in the meeting transcript were voice votes; the clerk announced each motion as carried with no recorded roll-call tallies in the public record provided.
What happens next: the county administrator is authorized to finalize the consulting contract and implement the transition to the Berkeley Group; committee appointments will take effect per the board’s administrative process.
