Cumberland County supervisors enter closed session to interview county administrator candidates, certify compliance with Virginia FOIA
Summary
At a May 21 special meeting the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors entered a closed session to interview candidates for County Administrator under VA Code §2.2-3711(A)(1), reconvened, and adopted a certification that no action was taken in closed session.
The Cumberland County Board of Supervisors moved into a closed meeting at its special called session on May 21, 2026 to conduct interviews for the County Administrator position. The board cited Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(1) as the legal basis for the executive session and then reconvened to open session and adopted a certification under Section 2.2-3712 of the Code of Virginia stating that only matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements were discussed and that no action was taken in closed session.
The motion to enter the closed meeting was made by Supervisor John Newman and seconded by Supervisor Eurika Tyree; the minutes record the vote as unanimous (Mr. Hamlet, Mr. Newman, Mrs. Tyree, Mr. Stimpson, Mr. Saunders recorded as 'aye'). The board's certification affirms the legal basis cited in the meeting minutes; the record also shows William P. “Jay” Scudder was present as Interim County Administrator and Jennifer Crews served as the official who called the roll. The board did not announce any appointment or other formal action in open session.
