Council votes to convene closed session on appointments, property and litigation
Summary
After the public briefings, the council voted unanimously to convene a closed session under specified Virginia Code subsections to discuss appointments, disposition of public property, litigation and a bond matter.
At the end of the public session the clerk read a motion to convene a closed session "pursuant to Virginia code sections 2.2-37.11.A.1.3, 2.2-37.7, and 2.2-37.0.8" to discuss council appointees and appointments listed on the agenda, the disposition of publicly held real property where open discussion would harm the city's negotiating posture, consultation with legal counsel regarding actual or probable litigation, and a bond matter requiring legal advice. The motion was moved and seconded; council members recorded Aye votes and the mayor announced the council would convene in the Lawson Conference Room.
The clerk's reading of the statutory bases and the recorded roll-call votes document that the council moved to a closed session for personnel, property disposition and legal consultation matters. No formal action on those matters was taken in the public session; the motion specified the subjects that will be discussed in closed session.
