Board grants county administrator 4.5% raise and 40 additional annual leave hours after closed session

After convening a closed session under Va. Code §2.2‑3711(A)(1) to discuss the county administrator’s performance evaluation, the Amelia County Board of Supervisors approved a compensation adjustment for County Administrator Eric S. Pollitt. Supervisor H. Joseph Easter, IV moved to increase Pollitt’s compensation by 4.5%—matching salary adjustments previously given to county employees—and to add 40 hours to his annual leave accrual; the motion passed unanimously upon returning to open session.

The closed session began at 8:44 p.m. and ended at 8:59 p.m.; the Board certified by roll call that discussions remained within the statutory parameters. The motion to adjust the administrator’s compensation and leave also included acknowledgement of continued support for training and conference attendance. The minutes do not list Pollitt’s prior salary or the new salary figure.
