The Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority convened a brief closed meeting to discuss personnel matters and later certified the closed-session compliance with Virginia law.
During the open meeting, the facilitator read the motion to convene a closed session "pursuant to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act" to discuss personnel matters "involving the assignment, appointment, promotion, demotion, performance, salaries, or resignation of employees of the authority," citing "section 2 dot 2 dash 37 11 a 1 of the act." A motion and a second were recorded before the board left for closed session.
After returning from closed session, the board read a certification required under Virginia law (referencing section 2.2-3712(d) of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended) stating that, to the best of each commissioner's knowledge, only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements were heard and that only matters identified in the motion were discussed. A motion and second were taken and the certification vote passed.
The board did not disclose personnel details on the public record during the meeting.
