At its meeting, the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors approved routine business, completed several administrative actions and voted to convene a closed session for bargaining strategy.
The board amended and approved the agenda after agreeing to defer the decommissioning agreement (item M1) to next month. Supervisors approved the minutes and claims by voice vote. On appointments, the board accepted the resignation of Elise Leatherwood from the Social Service Board and moved to appoint Penny Allen to that vacancy; the motion carried on voice vote.
In the administrator’s report, staff summarized the county's first fall tire collection day (27 participants, 353 tires collected and disposed) and reported that the audit of the clerk of the circuit court returned no internal control findings. The personnel committee recommended converting state‑designated half‑days (Nov. 26 and Dec. 24) to full days and closing Jan. 2; the committee’s recommendation was presented to the board (no formal vote recorded in the transcript during the meeting).
Later in the meeting a motion was made and seconded to go into closed (executive) session to discuss bargaining/negotiating strategy, citing the Code of Virginia (citation provided in the meeting as "2.1 dash 3 7 1 1 dot a dot 3"). The motion passed on a voice vote, and the board later returned to open session and certified that only matters related to the stated code section were discussed during the executive session.
The meeting adjourned after the certification. The board did not take any additional public actions in open session beyond approvals and the appointment noted above.
