Purcellville council authorizes filing of notice of appeal in KMG Hauling dispute
Summary
After a closed meeting Oct. 22, the Town Council voted to proceed as recommended by legal counsel in the KMG Hauling Inc. matter, including filing a notice of appeal related to a dispute before the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals; the motion passed unanimously.
After convening in closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, the Purcellville Town Council certified that the closed meeting addressed only matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements and voted to proceed with the action recommended by legal counsel: filing a notice of appeal in the case involving KMG Hauling Inc. and the Purcellville Board of Zoning Appeals.
The procedural motion to enter closed session cited the Code of Virginia (section 2.2‑3711(A)(7)) and named required attendees. Following certification under §2.2‑3712, the council voted to adopt the closed‑session recommendation, including filing the notice of appeal, by a recorded vote of 7‑0.
Council members did not provide a public legal analysis in the meeting; the vote and direction authorize the town attorney’s office to proceed. Council directed staff and counsel to take the next procedural steps consistent with the vote.
