A council member proposed a counter-motion that the discussion about candidate interviews be held in open session, citing the Virginia code's permissive language on closed sessions. Members debated whether the code requires closed sessions and whether the public would be informed afterward; the original motion to accept the agenda was resumed after the open-session proposal failed to sustain without a second or consensus.
