CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
Section 2.2-3704.3 of the Code of Virginia requires local officials to participate in training within 2 months after
assuming the office and thereafter biennially, for as long as they hold such office so they can be familiar with these
and other provisions of FOIA.
ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION
The Council may meet by electronic means without a quorum physically assembled at one location when either
the Governor or the City has declared a state of emergency, provided that the nature of the declared emergency
makes it impracticable or unsafe to physically assemble at one location and the purpose of the meeting is to
provide for the continuity of government operations. Regarding such meetings, FOIA requires notice to the
public, electronic access by the public, and an opportunity for the public to comment.
In accordance with adopted policy, individual Council members may participate electronically in two regular
meetings per year provided a quorum is present in the physical meeting location.
