VMI board moves into closed session for personnel matters, later certifies meeting
Summary
The Virginia Military Institute board voted to enter a closed session to discuss personnel evaluations under a cited Virginia code section and, after returning to open session, certified that only permitted matters were discussed; named members recorded 'Aye' on certification.
Speaker 1 called the meeting to order and moved that the board go into a closed meeting at 4:05 p.m. to discuss personnel matters and evaluations, citing "VA code section 2 dot 2 dash 37 1, 1" as the statutory basis for the closed session. The motion was seconded and the body voted to proceed into closed session.
After returning to open session, Speaker 1 stated the board had discussed only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meetings under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and asked for a motion to certify the closed meeting. During the roll call for certification, the secretary named members who responded 'Aye' including Mister Gallagher, Mister Gotwell, Arnold McKnight, Governor Northam, Missus Todd, Mister Williams and Colonel Emmett. The certification motion passed on that recorded voice vote.
The board did not record further public action on personnel in open session. The chair then moved to adjourn; the motion carried by voice vote. The board is scheduled to consider a set of motions and several items—described elsewhere in the record—at its Saturday meeting.
