During a recent government meeting, the finance and elections committee welcomed a new member, expressing optimism about future participation in the Virginia Association of Counties (VACO) process. The new member conveyed enthusiasm for the opportunity, indicating it would be beneficial for their development.

Public comment was opened, with resident Deborah Miller addressing the board. She expressed her difficulty in attending numerous meetings scheduled for the spring and requested consideration for live recordings of work sessions, which are currently not televised. Miller highlighted her interest in staying informed about the discussions and suggested that live recordings would help citizens like herself engage more effectively with the board's activities.

The board acknowledged the challenge of attending multiple meetings and agreed to explore the feasibility of Miller's request. Following public comments, the meeting transitioned into a closed session, with assurances that no actions were anticipated post-session. The chairman provided an estimated duration for the closed session, indicating it could last approximately an hour or longer depending on the discussions.

Additionally, an announcement was made regarding an upcoming tour of a renovation project led by Sheriff Bushey, with a reminder for board members to avoid gathering in groups of three or more to comply with regulations. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session, adhering to Virginia code requirements.
