Council authorizes Sands Anderson retainer after closed session on property and legal advice
Summary
After a closed session held under Va. Code §2.2-3711(A)(3) and (A)(8) for real property and legal consultation, the council certified the session and unanimously authorized Town Manager Rosenbaum to execute a retainer with Sands Anderson.
The Saltville Town Council entered a closed session Jan. 13 to discuss acquisition or disposition of publicly held real property and to consult with legal counsel. The motion, moved by Councilwoman Suzanne Abramson, cited Virginia Code Sec. 2.2-3711(A)(3) for property matters and (A)(8) for legal consultation.
After exiting closed session the council unanimously certified that only the matters described in the motion had been discussed. Councilman Ryan Comer then moved to authorize Town Manager Cecile Rosenbaum to execute a retainer agreement with the law firm Sands Anderson; the motion passed in a unanimous roll-call vote.
No further details of the closed-session discussions were disclosed in open session, consistent with the statutory exemptions the council invoked. The authorization of the retainer gives the town manager authority to finalize representation by the named firm.
