Cumberland supervisors enter closed meeting for county administrator second-round interviews
Summary
At a special meeting June 1, 2026, the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to enter a closed meeting under VA Code § 2.2-3711.A.1 to hold second-round interviews for the County Administrator position; the board reconvened and certified compliance with Virginia law.
The Cumberland County Board of Supervisors met in a special session on June 1, 2026, at the County Administrator Suite and unanimously voted to adjourn into a closed meeting to conduct second-round interviews for the County Administrator position. The motion to enter closed session was made by Supervisor Eurika Tyree and seconded by Supervisor John Newman; the roll call recorded 'aye' votes from Bryan Hamlet, John Newman, Eurika Tyree, Paul Stimpson and Robert Saunders.
The public agenda listed the subject matter as "Discussion of Performance of County Personnel" and cited Virginia Code § 2.2-3711.A.1 as the exemption permitting the closed meeting. The transcript record states the purpose explicitly: "Allow Board Members to Conduct a Second Round of Interviews for County Administrator position." No candidate names or interview outcomes were recorded in the public minutes. The board later reconvened to open session and adopted a certification regarding the closed meeting (see separate article).
