Powhatan EDA authorizes closed session on Urbine Road property; RFP for Shady Oaks planned
Summary
The Powhatan County Economic Development Authority authorized a closed session under Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(3) to discuss lease/sale and acquisition matters for a parcel along Urbine Road and recorded a certification vote after the closed meeting. The board also directed staff to pursue an RFP for the Shady Oaks property to appear on a future agenda.
The Powhatan County Economic Development Authority voted April 13 to enter a closed session to discuss real property where open discussion would adversely affect the board’s bargaining position.
The minutes cite Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(3) as the legal basis for the closed meeting and record that the matters include discussion of the lease or sale of public real property and the acquisition of property for a public purpose, specifically referencing a parcel along Urbine Road. John Saber moved to approve the closed meeting; Chris Shust seconded. The motion passed 4-0 and the minutes record the closed-session start time at 8:14 p.m.
After the closed meeting, the board completed the statutory certification that only matters identified in the motion were discussed; the minutes include the roll-call-style certification votes by board members and staff.
Separately, in the old-business property update, Director Roxanne Salerno updated the board on the EDA’s Shady Oaks property and the board decided to issue an RFP for a commercial realtor; staff will add that item to the May or June agenda for next steps. The minutes do not record a formal vote authorizing the RFP procurement; the entry appears as a board direction to staff.
