At 1:05 p.m. there was a motion by the chair to close the meeting for the purpose of conducting a discussion of personnel matters. This motion was seconded by the secretary and approved unanimously. The board reconvened in open session at 2:05 p.m. and the chair moved to certify, by recorded vote, that only matters exempted from the open meeting requirements were discussed in the closed session. This motion was seconded by the vice-chair and approved unanimously. Copies of the motion closing the meeting and the certification following the closed session are attached to these minutes. Other Business One of the candidates in the Democratic primary for City Council, Heather Hill, has requested that changes be made to the voter registration website highlighting the in- person absentee voting schedule, location and procedures. She also requested that the deadline for registering to vote in the June 13 primary also be highlighted. The General Registrar reported that these changes have been made to the website. The vice chair raised the question of procuring souvenir pins commemorating the June 13 primary for issue to election officials working in this election. These have been in use in other localities for some time and the one designed for the upcoming primary features an image of Monticello and thus is particularly appropriate for Charlottesville. The Board members were in agreement that these tokens would be appreciated by the election workers and could be procured at minimal cost. Next Meeting The next meeting of the Board will take place at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15, 2017 in the Charlottesville Office of Voter Registration. The meeting was adjourned at 2:35 p.m. Respectfully submitted: James Nix, Secretary Anne Hemenway, Chair Jon Bright, Vice Chair
