Board holds closed session to discuss interim county administratorperformance

A board member moved that the Prince George County board meet in closed session "pursuant to Virginia Code 2.2-3711(A)(1) for the discussion of the performance of the interim county administrator," and the motion passed on a roll-call vote.

The motion to enter a closed session was introduced during regular business and seconded; the chair announced the board would go into closed session. After the closed session the board reconvened in open session and a board member moved to certify "pursuant to Virginia Code 2.2-3712 that only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements and identified in the motion by which the closed meeting was convened were heard, discussed or considered." The certification was recorded by roll call.

The meeting transcript records the statutory citations used by the board member when making the motion and the certification language used upon reconvening. The transcript does not record further public detail about the substance of the discussion; by law such personnel deliberations may be held in closed session. The board then proceeded to adjourn the meeting.
