Council approves three contingency items, ratifies appointments and votes to enter closed session
Summary
Council approved three contingency funding items ($1,000; $7,500; $750), unanimously voted to enter closed session under the Code of Virginia for personnel, investment and legal consultations, and ratified set appointments; all recorded motions carried 5-0.
During the work session the council approved three contingency signature requests and recorded the roll call as "motion carried, 5 0." The three items described were $1,000 for a tennis event, $7,500 for "Crew Corner," and $750 for the Black Excellence Gala; a council member moved, another seconded, and the measure carried without recorded dissent.
Later in the meeting, Council member Cleon moved under Section 2.2-3711(a) of the Code of Virginia (the city cited the relevant statute language on the record) to hold a closed meeting to interview and consider prospective candidates for appointments and the position of city clerk, to discuss potential investment of public funds involving bargaining in support of a public festival, and to consult with legal counsel about courthouse facilities. The motion was seconded and the roll call vote to enter closed session carried 5-0.
Following the closed-session motion the council also moved to ratify set appointments enclosed with the agenda; the motion was moved, seconded, and adopted 5-0. The work session then stood adjourned and planned to reconvene in about five minutes for the regular meeting.
The motions and votes recorded in this work session are procedural approvals and authorizations; no policy-level ordinance or bond vote was adopted at this session.
