Board appoints Andy Herrick as Albemarle County attorney, effective Feb. 1
Summary
After a closed session on personnel, the Board of Supervisors voted to appoint interim attorney Andy Herrick as county attorney effective Feb. 1, 2025. The appointment passed by recorded vote; Herrick thanked staff and outlined staffing needs.
Following a closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, the Board of Supervisors voted to appoint Andrew (Andy) Herrick as Albemarle County attorney, effective February 1, 2025.
Supervisor McKeel moved the appointment with a second from Supervisor Malek; the board approved the motion by recorded roll call (Andrews Yes; Galloway Yes; Lupisto Kirtley Aye; Malek Yes; McKeel Yes; Pruitt Aye). Herrick, who had been serving as interim county attorney, said the appointment was "a tremendous honor" and thanked colleagues and county staff. He noted immediate staffing challenges: the office will be down three attorneys and one paralegal in the near term and said recruitment is already under way.
The action was taken after the board certified the closed-session compliance and then made a formal public motion and roll-call vote. The motion and vote were entered on the record and will take effect February 1, 2025.
