Council certifies closed-session compliance after meeting on property, legal and personnel matters
Summary
After a closed session addressing property negotiations, legal advice related to the project-based voucher program, and personnel items, Petersburg council moved, seconded and conducted a roll-call certification that the closed session discussed only the stated topics.
At the conclusion of the closed session the mayor asked for a motion to certify that all matters discussed fell within the announced statutory purposes and to note whether any member believed there had been a departure from those purposes. Vice Mayor Hill moved to certify and Councilman Westbrook seconded; the clerk then called the roll.
The mayor told members that the certification would be recorded in accordance with Virginia Code section 2.2-3712 and asked any member asserting a departure from the stated reasons to identify the substance for the record. The roll call recorded members as present or answering 'Aye,' and the presiding officer announced the closed session concluded and the council returned to the next open-agenda item.
