Board approves $83,823.36 supplemental appropriation for 2025 debt interest; moves to closed session on personnel

The Northumberland County Board approved a supplemental appropriation to capital projects totaling $83,823.36 to cover interest on 2025 Series A and B debt service. County staff explained the borrowing closed midyear and the first-year interest was not budgeted; the board moved, seconded and approved the appropriation in open session.

Later in the meeting the board voted to convene a closed meeting under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to discuss personnel matters (statutory citations were read aloud). After the closed session the board returned to public session and certified by roll call that only lawfully exempted matters were discussed.
