Board schedules closed session to consult counsel on Virginia American Water rate increase
Summary
Supervisors voted to add a closed session early in the meeting to consult with legal counsel about a Virginia American Water rate increase and later certified the closed session; the board cited the Virginia open‑meetings code in the certification language used on the record.
The Prince George County Board of Supervisors voted at the start of its meeting to add a closed session to consult with legal counsel about a Virginia American Water rate increase.
Vice Chair Philip Pew moved to adopt the agenda with an addition: "a closed session prior to the work session for consultation with legal counsel regarding legal advice on Virginia American water rate increase." The motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
The board then held the closed session under the statutory exemption referenced in the meeting (transcript reference to the Virginia open‑meetings code). After returning to open session the board unanimously certified that "only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements and identified in the motion by which the closed meeting was convened were heard, discussed or considered." The certification language used in the motion mirrored statutory certification language included in the transcript.
No substantive details from the closed session were disclosed in open session; the board recorded the certification on the public record per requirements of the Virginia code.
