Mathews County supervisors approve agenda, move into closed session at May 28 special meeting

The Mathews County Board of Supervisors on May 28, 2025, approved its meeting agenda and voted to enter a closed session during a special meeting, according to transcript excerpts from the session.

The action matters because closed sessions remove discussion from the public record; the board cited "the reason stated on the agenda" as grounds for the closed session during the meeting excerpt provided.

An unnamed official called the special meeting to order and asked Supervisor Graves to conduct roll call. Supervisors Rollins, Walls, Phillips, Jones and Dawson were recorded present during the roll call that followed. A motion to approve the agenda was made, seconded and carried by voice vote; the record shows board members responding "Aye." A subsequent motion to enter a closed meeting — "for the reason stated on the agenda" — also was seconded and carried by voice vote.

The transcript does not include further detail about the subject of the closed session. The board moved into the closed meeting after the affirmative voice vote recorded on the public transcript.

No additional motions, votes, or outcomes are recorded in the provided excerpt beyond the agenda approval and the vote to enter the closed session.
