Carroll County supervisors certify recent closed session complied with Virginia law
Summary
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors read and adopted a certification that a recent closed session was held under exemptions allowed by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and Code of Virginia; each member verbally certified compliance.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors opened its meeting by moving out of a recently held closed session and adopting a written certification that the closed session complied with Virginia law. The chair read the certification asserting that, "to the best of each member's knowledge, only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act were heard, discussed, or considered in the closed session."
The read resolution referenced Code of Virginia provisions (transcribed in the record as "section 2.2 dash 37 11 d" and subsections "a 1, a 6, a 8, and a 29") as the legal basis for the executive session. After the chair's reading, each board member gave a verbal certification on the record. The action was procedural and completed at the start of the public meeting.
Board procedures require such a certification after reconvening from an executive session; the board's certification was recorded without objection and the meeting proceeded to the posted public agenda.
