Docket entry
970642 Town of Madison v. Ford 02/27/1998 Because minutes recording action of a town council did not reflect which of the council members actually voted for adoption of a zoning ordinance, whether any member abstained, or if any member was absent when the vote was taken, the minutes do not comply with the constitutional requirement of Article VII, § 7 of the Constitution of Virginia, and accordingly the ordinance is null and void.
