The Occoquan Town Council voted to enter closed session Oct. 15 to discuss the acquisition of riverfront property under Virginia Code § 2.2-3711(A)(3).
Vice Mayor Jenn Loges moved that the council convene in closed session for the purpose of discussing or considering the acquisition of real property for a public purpose, specifically involving riverfront property in Occoquan, saying discussion in an open meeting would adversely affect the town’s bargaining position or negotiating strategy. Councilmember Eliot Perkins seconded the motion; the minutes record the motion passing unanimously by voice vote. The council entered closed session at 8:33 p.m. and reconvened at 8:52 p.m.
After returning to open session, Vice Mayor Loges moved to certify that nothing was discussed in closed session except the matters specifically identified in the motion and lawfully permitted under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act; Councilmember Perkins seconded and the certification motion passed by roll call vote, with recorded ayes listed in the minutes.
No further public details about the property or negotiation terms were disclosed in the meeting minutes.
