Summary

County Attorney Frank Rennie told the Board Commonwealth Attorney Robert Clement will retire Dec. 31; the Board authorized a petition to the Circuit Court seeking a writ of special election to be held Nov. 2, 2021 and discussed an interim appointment.

County Attorney Frank Rennie informed the Board Dec. 10 that Commonwealth Attorney Robert Clement will retire effective Dec. 31, creating a vacancy in the elected office.

Rennie said he prepared a court order to appoint Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Jordan Spiers to the position until an election can be held and presented a resolution authorizing him to petition the Circuit Court for a writ of special election to be held Nov. 2, 2021. Supervisor Alvester Edmonds moved to allow the County Attorney to petition the Circuit Court for the writ of special election; the motion was approved on a roll-call vote with six supervisors voting yes and one absent.

The Board also discussed that if a public vote on related items (for example, relocation of a monument) were desired, a public hearing would be required before taking action.
