Electoral Board holds closed session on registrar evaluation, certifies meeting and adopts goals
Summary
The board entered a closed session under Va. Code §2.2-3711 for personnel matters concerning the registrar's evaluation and an officer-of-election incident; after reconvening the board certified compliance with the FOIA statute and accepted the registrar's evaluation goals.
On Feb. 3, 2021, the Charlotte County Electoral Board moved into a closed session pursuant to Va. Code — 2.2-3711 to discuss personnel matters, including the evaluation of the interim registrar and an incident involving a poll worker.
The motion to enter closed session was made by Secretary Glenwood Foster, seconded by Vice Chair Warren Browning and passed unanimously, according to the minutes. After the closed session the board reconvened and adopted a certification resolution required by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. The minutes record a roll-call certification vote: Mr. Clark — aye, Mr. Browning — aye, Mr. Foster — aye. The board then voted to accept the Registrar's goals as part of his evaluation and directed that the poll worker involved in the November incident be notified to attend the next meeting.
The minutes list the statutory basis for closed meetings and certification; the board cited Va. Code — 2.2-3711 for closed-session authority and certified conformity with the FOIA-required procedures under Va. Code — 2.2-3712. The minutes do not list personnel details discussed in closed session; the board's certification states only that the closed session discussed "only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meetings."
