Board votes to go into closed session to discuss county administrator candidate and draft agreement
Summary
The board moved and voted to amend the agenda and enter a closed session to discuss a candidate for the county administrator position and a draft employment agreement, citing Virginia Code to authorize the executive session.
The chair sought clarification on adding a closed session for personnel and legal counsel advised on the FOIA procedure required to amend the agenda. Counsel read the statutory authority on the record: "In accordance with Virginia code 2.2 dash 3,711, closed meetings authorized for certain limited purposes." He specified the narrower purpose as discussion of the candidate the board is considering hiring for the county administrator position and review of a draft employment agreement. The board then moved, voted by hands, recessed into closed session and later returned to open session and certified that only the exempted items were discussed.
No final hiring decision or public details of the candidate were provided in open session; the certification language recorded members’ statements that they would certify the closed‑session compliance on the record.
