The Prince William'Manassas Regional Jail Board voted to convene a closed meeting to discuss a single personnel matter: the superintendent's performance evaluation.
A motion to authorize the closed meeting was read aloud and moved; the motion text on the record said the board "desires to discuss in closed meeting the following matters: 1 personnel matter, performance evaluation of the superintendent under code section 2.2-3711" and cited statutory authority allowing such discussion in closed session. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Following the closed meeting, the board moved to certify that the closed meeting was conducted in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. The certification resolution language read on the record referenced Va. Code (see transcript language) and members voted 'Aye' on the certification.
Why it matters: State law permits local public bodies to enter closed session for certain personnel and legal matters; the board used that authority to consider the superintendent's performance evaluation. The certification step is a required, recorded vote confirming the board discussed only lawfully exempted topics while in closed session.
Next steps: Minutes and any formal personnel actions, if taken, will follow applicable county personnel and FOIA requirements.
