Board amends agenda and holds closed session to discuss county administrator candidate
Summary
The board approved amending the agenda, moved into a closed session under Virginia Code §2.2‑3711 to consider a county administrator candidate and a draft employment agreement, and later certified the closed session on the record.
The board voted to amend the meeting agenda to add a personnel action and entered a closed session to discuss a candidate for the county administrator position and a draft employment agreement.
A staff member read the relevant legal authority aloud: "In accordance with Virginia code 2.2 dash 3,711, closed meetings authorized for certain limited purposes," and described the narrow reasons for the closed session — discussion of candidates and a draft employment agreement. The Chair asked for a motion to amend the agenda and to go into closed session; the board moved into closed session and later returned to open session and certified that only the stated exempted items were discussed.
The transcript records the motion and certification but does not include the candidate’s name, employment terms, or any vote tally by name in open session. The board indicated it would proceed with the personnel process according to FOIA and code requirements.
