Loudoun Board of Supervisors Chairman Scott York (R-At Large) has called for a special board meeting Feb. 7 to discuss security at the Loudoun County Government Center in downtown Leesburg.

A portion of the meeting is expected to be held in closed session, according to the agenda. Under Virginia code, governing bodies may meet in closed sessions for “discussion of reports or plans related to the security of any governmental facility, building or structure, or the safety of persons using such facility, building or structure.”

York said Friday he was calling his colleagues together to review security policies at the county’s main administration building on Harrison Street in Leesburg. He did not say whether the meeting stemmed from any specific events.

The topic of government security is the only one expected to be taken up at the special meeting.

The Board of Supervisors will still hold its regularly-scheduled, first-Wednesday-of-the-month meeting Feb. 6.
