Tazewell County CPMT approves prior minutes, financial items and votes to enter closed session

The Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT) met Oct. 25, 2021, in the Training Room of the Tazewell County Department of Social Services and approved the Sept. 27, 2021 minutes and a series of financial items before voting to enter a closed session to discuss specific foster‑care and related cases.

Edwinna Crawford moved to approve the Sept. 27, 2021 CPMT minutes; Robin Boyd seconded and the motion was recorded as unanimously approved. Crawford also moved the approval of the September financial report, which Boyd seconded; that motion likewise passed unanimously. The Team approved the encumbered WRAP funds (motion by Crawford, seconded by Lori Gates‑Addison) and approved Safe & Stable funds (motion by Crawford, seconded by Gates‑Addison); both motions were recorded as unanimously passed.

Later in the meeting, Gates‑Addison moved that the CPMT go into a closed session to discuss cases related to Foster Care, CPS, Cumberland, Court Services and Tazewell County Schools and the funding to support services for those cases; Edwinna Crawford seconded and the motion carried. The minutes record a subsequent certification that the closed meeting was convened and conducted in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, citing Code of Virginia §§ 2.2‑3711 and 2.2‑3712, and listing the certified roll-call result in the minutes.

The minutes list the meeting attendees and several members absent; motions during the meeting were recorded as unanimous where noted in the minutes. The record does not provide detailed roll-call vote lists for the routine approvals; the closed‑meeting certification is the only item with a roll‑call tally (AYES 6, NAYS 0; absences noted).
