Board enters closed session to discuss litigation, property disposition/acquisition and appointments
Summary
The board voted unanimously to enter closed session to consult with counsel on pending litigation (Day et al. v. Shenandoah County), discuss possible disposition and acquisition of county-owned property and right-of-way, and to consider specific appointments to advisory committees.
At 7:55 p.m. the Shenandoah County Board of Supervisors voted to enter closed session under multiple provisions of the Virginia Code to address legal and real-property matters and personnel appointments.
Vice Chairman Dennis Morris moved, seconded by Supervisor Steve Baker, to enter closed session in accordance with Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(7) and (8) to consult with legal counsel about actual or probable litigation (the minutes identify the matter as Day et al. v. Shenandoah County); under §2.2-3711(A)(3) to discuss possible disposition of real property and county right-of-way and the possible disposition and acquisition of real property for public purposes (properties in Mt. Jackson and Woodstock were mentioned in the minutes); and under §2.2-3711(A)(1) to discuss the assignment and appointment of specific public officers and appointees to serve on multiple advisory and regional bodies.
The motion passed by unanimous roll-call vote. The board reconvened in open session at 9:04 p.m., and County Administrator Evan Vass read the FOIA closed-session certification; each supervisor voted to certify that only matters identified in the motion were discussed. The minutes do not report the substance of the closed-session deliberations, any legal advice provided, any specific property transactions concluded, or the names of appointees; the matters remain confidential as allowed under the cited code sections.
