Board certifies closed session compliance and schedules next meeting for Sept. 23, 2026

The Hanover County Board of Supervisors certified that its recent closed session discussed only matters lawfully exempted from the open-meeting requirements of the Freedom of Information Act after a motion, a second and a voice vote.

"I make a motion that the board of supervisors certify that during the closed session, only public business matters lawfully exempted from the open meeting requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and only such public business matters as were identified in the motion of closed session were discussed," the committee member said, moving the certification. The motion was seconded by an agency official and the chair called for a voice vote: "All those in favor, please indicate by saying aye." The transcript records an "Aye" and the chair concluded, "Motion carries." The record does not include a numeric roll call or vote tally.

During announcements, an agency official asked that the minutes show that "Mr Hudson had to leave during the closed session. It was not present, for the final vote." The chair confirmed the request and said the minutes would reflect Mr Hudson's absence.

Before adjourning, the chair said, "Very well this board will adjourn until 6PM on Wednesday 09/23/2026 for a regularly scheduled board meeting to be held in this boardroom." The transcript does not state the date of the meeting that produced these remarks; it records only the adjournment order and the next scheduled meeting date. No other formal actions or votes were recorded in the provided transcript excerpts.
