Board continues to act in unlawful secrecy

At the February 14, 2008 meeting the Board convened in executive session to discuss "legal matters." As we've pointed out in the past, "legal matters" are not exempt from the open session requirement—see § 55-79.75.C.

Also, since the motion to convene in executive session did not "state specifically the purpose for the executive session", we have no way of knowing whether or not the Board restricted the consideration of matters during executive session to "only those purposes specifically exempted and stated in the motion"—see § 55-79.75.C.

Mr. Conforti, I understand that you are an attorney, and as the Chair of Southampton Condominium it is your duty to ensure that executive sessions conform to all requirements of the Virginia Condominium Act.
