Purcellville council convenes closed session to discuss water and wastewater critical‑infrastructure records
Summary
The council voted to enter a closed session under Virginia Code to discuss records related to critical infrastructure, including engineering and construction drawings for the town’s water and wastewater systems; the closed meeting was later certified under state law.
The Purcellville Town Council voted to convene a closed session March 25 to discuss records related to the town’s water and wastewater critical infrastructure, citing the Virginia Code exemption for information that could jeopardize the safety or security of facilities and systems. "Pursuant to Virginia code section 2 dot 2 dash 37 11 a 19, I move that the town council convene a closed session for the purpose of discussing…records related to critical infrastructure," the mayor said as part of the motion.
The motion identified the kinds of records covered — engineering, architectural and construction drawings and other information whose disclosure could jeopardize safety or security — and listed staff requested to attend, including Interim Town Manager Tony Sabio, Assistant Town Manager Diana Hayes, Town Attorney Robert Spruill, senior director of public works and engineering Andrea Broshkovich, maintenance superintendent Sean Gray, wastewater plant superintendent Barry Deffbau and water plant superintendent Steven Gates. After the closed session, a council member moved to certify the meeting under the Virginia Code; that motion was seconded and approved by the council.
The transcript records the statutory citations and the council’s voice votes to both convene the closed session and to certify that only lawfully exempt matters were discussed. No substantive public details about the materials were disclosed in the public portion of the meeting.
