Boards and Commissions Interviews and Appointments
Summary
The City Council has periodically convened closed special meetings to conduct candidate interviews and discuss appointments to its various Boards and Commissions. Sessions were scheduled or held on 2025-06-23, 2025-11-13, 2026-03-17, and 2026-06-30. The most fully documented session is 2026-03-17, during which the Council formally convened a closed meeting at 6:34 p.m. under Code of Virginia Sec. 2.2-3711.A.7, conducted interviews and discussed appointments over roughly two and a half hours, reconvened publicly at 9:05 p.m., and unanimously certified (6-0, with Amos absent) that only lawfully exempt matters were discussed. For all other sessions — 2025-06-23, 2025-11-13, and 2026-06-30 — meetings were scheduled per agenda but no minutes or actions reports are available, so no outcomes are on record. Across all four sessions, no specific appointment decisions or named appointees have been recorded in the public record.
