Carroll County EDA elects Larry Edwards chair and Martin Slade vice chair; approves minutes and invoices
Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting the Carroll County Economic Development Authority elected Larry Edwards chair and Martin Slade vice chair, approved corrected December minutes and the treasurer's report (including payment of invoices), convened a closed session under Virginia law and certified that session upon return.
The Carroll County Economic Development Authority elected Larry Edwards as chair and Martin Slade as vice chair at its Jan. 21 meeting and approved corrected minutes and the treasurer's report, including payment of invoices.
The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and an invocation led by Martin Slade. The board then moved into officer elections: a member nominated Larry Edwards for chair and, after a motion and a second, the board approved his election by voice vote. The presiding officer turned the meeting over to the newly elected chair.
Nominations for vice chair followed. A board member nominated Martin Slade; members closed nominations and approved his election by voice vote. The board then held citizens' time; no members of the public spoke.
The board voted to approve corrected minutes from the December meeting after a member confirmed corrected copies had been distributed. The treasurer's report and payment of invoices were presented and approved after a motion and second; during that discussion one member noted an affiliation, stating, "I've been with Skyline National Bank, 21 years." The board approved payment of the indicated invoices by voice vote.
The chair reminded members to complete the code of ethics/nondisclosure forms and to submit the Virginia statement of economic interests by Feb. 1. The board reported no old business.
Later the board voted to convene a closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, citing Virginia Code section 2.2-3711. After the closed session the board returned to open session and read a certification that only matters lawfully exempt from open meeting requirements were discussed; each member verbally certified that statement by saying, "I certify." With no further business, the board approved a motion to adjourn.
The meeting adjourned following the certification; no roll-call vote tallies were provided in the transcript and all approvals were recorded as voice votes.
