After a closed meeting, the committee recited statutory language and voted to certify that only matters identified in the motion to convene were discussed. Members voted to confirm that nothing inappropriate occurred in the closed session.
The committee recited statutory language related to closed sessions and voted to certify that the recently concluded closed meeting addressed only the matters identified in the motion to convene.
Speaker 5 cited a statutory reference (spoken as "3 7 1 2 d") and said the board "certifies in closed meeting just concluded" that "nothing was discussed except for the matter or matters specifically identified in the motion to convene in a closed meeting lawfully permitted to be so discussed under provisions of Virginia Freedom of Information."
After reconvening in open session, a motion was made and seconded that "nothing was discussed" inappropriately. The committee recorded affirmative 'aye' responses and proceeded to the next agenda item.
The certification was recorded in committee minutes and no specific substantive details from the closed session were disclosed in the committee's public discussion.
