Elkton council authorizes nuisance‑abatement contract after closed session
Summary
After a closed session citing personnel and contract negotiation statutes, the Elkton Town Council authorized the town manager to execute a contract with Rainbow International Restoration for nuisance property abatement.
The Elkton Town Council on July 15 authorized the Town Manager to execute a contract with Rainbow International Restoration to abate nuisance properties, after returning from a closed session conducted under Virginia Code exceptions for personnel and contract negotiations.
Council moved into closed session under Virginia Code § 2.2‑3711.A.1 (personnel matters) and § 2.2‑3711.A.29 (discussion of public contracts and bargaining strategy). Upon return, Council member Rachel Michael moved to certify the closed‑session compliance with Va. Code § 2.2‑3712(D); Council member Louis Heidel seconded and the motion carried on a recorded roll call reflecting the same six affirmative votes. The council then authorized Town Manager Greg Lunsford to execute the nuisance‑abatement contract; Council member Louis Heidel moved, Council member Virginia Fulginiti seconded, and the authorization passed 6‑0.
The contract was described in the minutes as relating to nuisance property abatement and names Rainbow International Restoration as the contractor; the minutes do not include contract value or other commercial terms. The council recorded its certification that only lawfully exempt matters were discussed in closed session.
