Elkton council moves into closed session to discuss prospective hires
Summary
At a June 23 special meeting, the Elkton Town Council voted 5-0 to enter a closed session to discuss prospective candidates for employment under Virginia Code §2.2-3711.A.1; a council member who phoned in was not counted for quorum or voting.
Elkton Mayor Joshua J. Gooden called a special meeting of the Elkton Town Council on June 23, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Town Hall to consider personnel matters. Council Member Virginia Fulginiti moved, and Vice‑Mayor Rick Workman seconded, that the council go from Regular Session into Closed Session “to discuss, consider, or interview prospective candidates for employment” pursuant to Virginia Code §2.2‑3711.A.1. The motion carried on a 5‑0 voice vote (YEAS: R. Workman, J. Hensley, V. Fulginiti, A. Napotnik, L. Heidel).
The clerk noted that Council Member Michael was connected to the meeting by telephone but that no motion had been made or approved to authorize electronic participation under the town’s Electronic Participation Policy; as a result, the transcript records that Council Member Michael was not counted for attendance, quorum, or voting. No formal appointments, salaries, or other personnel decisions were recorded in the open minutes; the council entered closed session for discussion only, as authorized by state law. The meeting record lists Denise R. Monger as Clerk of Council and confirms the meeting location as Town Hall, 173 W. Spotswood Avenue, Elkton.
