Board votes to enter closed session for legal consultation under Virginia code
Summary
The Charles City Board moved into closed session under the Virginia Code for consultation with legal counsel on specific legal matters. The motion was made and approved and the meeting proceeded to executive session.
Near the meeting’s end, a board member moved to go into closed session under the Virginia Code for consultation with legal counsel on specific legal matters. The motion was made, seconded and put to a voice vote. The clerk announced the recorded votes and the board prepared to enter executive session.
The motion cited consultation authorized under the Virginia Code (section cited in the meeting transcript). The clerk recorded affirmative votes; the board then proceeded to executive session. No details of the legal matter were discussed in open session and no formal public action beyond the motion and vote was taken in the meeting’s public portion.
The board’s action to enter executive session is a routine procedural step that allows confidential legal consultation; the record shows the board invoked the statutory authority before recessing to closed session.
