Summary
On March 13 the King and Queen County Board voted to enter closed session under Virginia code for legal counsel and privacy regarding an accident involving county personnel and assets; the board also set an April 10 public hearing for RZ23-01 (Loudon Farm Corp.) and tabled multiple board appointment items.
The King and Queen County Board of Supervisors on March 13 voted to enter a closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act exemptions for consultation with legal counsel on specific legal matters and to protect the privacy of individuals regarding an accident that involved county personnel and county assets.
The motion to enter closed session was made by J. M. Burns and seconded by S.C. Alsop and invoked VA Code §2.2-3711(A)(8) (legal counsel) and §2.2-3711(A)(4) (privacy of individuals). After the closed session, the board reconvened and each member certified by individual vote that only matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements were discussed.
Separately during general business the board set April 10, 2023 as the public hearing date for rezoning application RZ23-01 (Loudon Farm Corp.) on a motion by J. L. Simpkins seconded by J. M. Burns. The minutes also show several appointments and reappointments (Economic Development Authority/Stevensville; Bay Consortium Workforce Development Board; Planning Commission seats for Newtown and Buena Vista; Pamunkey Regional Library Board) were tabled for later consideration.
The minutes record no further detail about the accident discussed in closed session beyond the citation of the FOIA exemptions; no votes or actions were recorded related to the accident matter in open session.
