Summary

The committee approved a motion to convene a closed meeting under the Virginia code to discuss the award of a public contract under the PPEA, citing negotiation/bargaining concerns; the transcript records the motion and second but no public vote tally.

The school board chair moved that the Finance and Facilities Committee convene a closed meeting under the Virginia code to discuss the award of a public contract under the Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA), asserting that open discussion would "adversely affect the bargaining position or negotiating strategy of the public body." The chair read the statutory language given in the transcript ("Virginia code 2 dot 2 3 7 11 a 29").

A second was given and members prepared to enter closed session. The transcript records the motion and second and the committee's agreement to proceed; a roll-call tally was not recorded in the public transcript. Because the discussion moved into closed session, no additional public details about the contract or parties were provided in the transcript.

Next steps: the committee moved into closed session to conduct the permitted discussion; any subsequent public action would be recorded in minutes or a future public meeting.
