NVTA honors retiring member Keith Jasper; moves to closed session on CEO personnel matter
Summary
Members honored Keith Jasper as he retires after 12 years with the authority. The board then voted to meet in closed session under Virginia Code §2.2‑3711(A)(1) to discuss a personnel matter involving the CEO (annual salary, car allowance, performance review).
The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority recognized Keith Jasper at its July 9 meeting as he prepares to retire after roughly 12 years with the authority.
Jasper reflected on a decades‑long transportation career in the U.K. and U.S., thanked colleagues, and praised NVTA staff: “I am so proud of NVTA's incredible advances and accomplishments in that time frame,” he said. Members offered congratulations and best wishes for travel plans and retirement.
After the tribute, the chair moved that the authority convene a closed meeting “as authorized for Virginia Code section 2.2‑3711.A.1 for the purpose of discussion of a personnel matter involving the CEO, annual salary, car allowance and performance review.” The motion was seconded; the chair called for non‑members to vacate the room and said the motion passed for those present.
The transcript records the vote to convene a closed session but does not include details of the closed deliberations. The authority did not place any CEO salary or personnel decisions in the public record at this meeting.
