Chair certifies closed session complied with Virginia law; council records unanimous ‘Aye’ and adjourns
Summary
After ending a closed session, the Chair read a certification that only matters lawfully exempted under Virginia law were discussed. The Chair called a roll, four members answered “Aye,” and the meeting moved quickly to adjournment.
The Chair reopened the meeting from a closed session and read a certification stating that “only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements by Virginia law were discussed” and that the matters identified in the motion were heard and considered.
The Chair then called a roll for a formal certification. The Chair began with Reverend Jones, who replied, “Aye.” The Chair next asked Paul (who replied, “Aye”), then Alma (“Aye”), and then Bob (“Aye”), producing four affirmative votes on the certification.
With the certification recorded, the Chair asked for a motion to adjourn. The meeting concluded shortly afterward.
The transcript records the Chair reading the certification language and the four vocal affirmations; it does not record a separate roll call or recorded tally for the adjournment motion in the provided segments.
