Electoral Board enters closed session to evaluate registrar, then certifies compliance with Virginia FOIA
Summary
The board voted unanimously to go into a closed session to discuss the County General Registrar's performance under Virginia Code §2.2-3711.A.1, later certified that only lawful closed matters were discussed and returned to open session.
The Charlotte County Electoral Board on Aug. 23, 2022, voted to enter a closed session under Virginia Code §2.2-3711.A.1 to discuss the performance evaluation of the County General Registrar. The motion to enter the executive session was made by Secretary Aubrey Fane and carried on a recorded roll-call vote: Dean Foster yes, Aubrey Fane yes, Glenn Baker yes.
The board recessed briefly during the closed session and later considered a certification resolution required by Virginia Code §2.2-3712 that closed meetings must be certified. The board recorded a roll-call vote to certify that only matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements were discussed; the certification vote was Aubrey Fane yes, Dean Foster yes, Glenn Baker yes. The board then re-entered regular session.
The motion invoking §2.2-3711.A.1 identifies personnel performance evaluations as a statutory exception to open meetings. The minutes record the motions and votes but provide no substantive detail of the discussion held in closed session beyond the statutory basis and the certification. The board then noted that review of polling place signage would be taken up at its next meeting on Sept. 1, 2022, before adjourning.
