In committee reports, Councilman Raines moved to approve the finance report and then to adopt the town’s 2027 annual budget and the 2027 fee schedule. Both motions were seconded and carried on voice votes, with the mayor noting the motions "carry[ied] unanimously."
Later in the meeting Councilman Justice moved that the council convene a closed session citing consultation with legal counsel and personnel matters under the Code of Virginia.
