Floyd council authorizes Town Manager to buy building near Lineberry Park for up to $10,000
Summary
Following a closed session on contract award, the Floyd Town Council unanimously authorized Town Manager Andrew Morris to purchase a building located behind Warren G. Lineberry Community Park for up to $10,000.
After a closed session regarding the award of a public contract, the Floyd Town Council on March 19 authorized Town Manager Andrew Morris to purchase a building behind Warren G. Lineberry Community Park with a spending limit of $10,000.
The closed session was held under Code of Virginia §2.2‑3711(A)(29) (discussion of award of a public contract where open discussion would harm bargaining position). After reconvening, the Council adopted a certification resolution under §2.2‑3712 affirming that only matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements were discussed.
Vice Mayor Chris Bond moved and Councilwoman Lisa Thompson seconded the motion to authorize the purchase; roll call votes were recorded as unanimous in favor. The authorization included a stated spending limit of $10,000 and directed Town Manager Morris to proceed within that limit.
What happens next: Staff will proceed with the purchase process within the authorized spending limit and report back to the Council. The motion as recorded authorizes the transaction but does not include additional budget allocations beyond the $10,000 spending cap.
