Tazewell County CPMT approves funding for foster care and related cases in closed session
Summary
The Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team voted to approve funding for foster care, CPS, court services and related school cases after a closed‑session review; the closed meeting was certified under Virginia law with a recorded 9–0 vote.
Lori Gates‑Addison, chair of the Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team, opened the Jan. 23, 2023 meeting and members moved into a closed session to consider funding for foster care, child protective services, court services and related school cases.
David Taylor moved to convene the closed session; Shanna Plaster seconded. After the closed meeting, the CPMT certified that the discussion complied with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (citing Code of Virginia §§ 2.2‑3711 and 2.2‑3712) and recorded a vote of AYES 9, NAYS 0, ABSENT 2.
Following certification, Jeff Brintle moved to approve the foster care, CPS, Cumberland, court services and Tazewell County School cases and the funding recommended during the closed session; Shanna Plaster seconded and the motion carried. The CPMT then returned to open session and adjourned at 11:03 a.m.; its next scheduled meeting is Feb. 27, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.
Why it matters: The CPMT is the local administrative body that authorizes funding and oversight for Children's Services Act cases in Tazewell County; approving funding in closed session is a regular procedure when cases involve confidential client information.
What the record shows: The meeting minutes list those present and absent, the motions to enter and to exit closed session, the statutory citations used for certification, and the unanimous recorded vote to approve the funding discussed.
