The board approved the resolution by voice vote.

The SRAC is charged with drafting bylaws, governing meeting conduct, and electing officers; the board paper named initial members whose terms end Dec. 31, 2025. The board approved compensation at $200 for each meeting attended for voting members. The county manager and staff told supervisors the initial appointees are county HEART members so the group can “hit the ground running” while bylaws and a process for adding community members are developed.

Sam Hudson, presenting the board paper, said: “This board paper establishes the Sustainability and Resilience Advisory Committee or SRAC to advise the Board of Supervisors on environmental sustainability and resilience matters.” Several supervisors asked procedural and design questions during the discussion, focusing on timing for public appointments, the scope of the committee’s work, term length and compensation.

Supervisors pressed staff to clarify that the initial members listed in the resolution are county employees tasked with establishing the committee’s bylaws rather than performing substantive climate policy work. Staff confirmed the initial phase is intended to create meeting rules and organizational structure before bringing community appointees onto the committee.

Board members debated whether voting terms should be one year ‘‘to align with other boards and commissions’’ or two years ‘‘because it is meaty work’’ and may require longer continuity. The board noted that bylaws adopted by the committee could later amend term lengths and membership rules. Multiple supervisors said they prefer appointing community members during the regular January appointment cycle so terms align with other advisory groups.

The resolution passed on a motion to approve. Next steps directed the initial appointees to draft bylaws and for staff to return with a process and timeline for adding community members, with the board noting that HEART will remain as a separate advisory group.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Henrico County - Board of Supervisors","oneSentenceSummary","The Henrico County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 26 voted to establish a Sustainability and Resilience Advisory Committee (SRAC) to advise the board on environmental sustainability and resilience matters and appointed initial members from the County Manager’s HEART committee.","taxTitle","Henrico County, Virginia","taxId",58541,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6746958,"Votes at a glance: Key actions taken by the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, Aug. 26, 2025",3188,2082000,5270000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5675600-fd76bcc6bb41c2eb71204cdbb4086705&start=2082&end=5270","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5675600-fd76bcc6bb41c2eb71204cdbb4086705/thumbnail_2082000.jpg","/articles/6746958/Henrico-County/Virginia/Votes-at-a-glance-Key-actions-taken-by-the-Henrico-County-Board-of-Supervisors-Aug-26-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6746958-845e17d99e08c00258533ce7ba74d9a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770349607&Signature=ZwN0h9zcamkvgRcFI0xwuB-e3xLCyY-aobNLWeENsL-M5SQ3OR8mLn6QX3HPSr~d84V4~KwOafBm84~2Up6Bn1xlegg7FF8UhbX8T4q8LcxkvVY14MMiRlZ70O0F6y6LN5GEkdiD9eF1qmk26KG2PMZigvW7jTJJfJJnEnnFxrqRb64kSI1RIk4xqNdFQmf3ryo35ivyS2eTul8Qcs0Gm~7hqa16DDsl~-nwuZWPDx5NkAAjRRnrW71dYIKXUNS8GyJ0iNAxsLVFSKczSg2V1Ac5MeZKiyWraNTo4VgNUgavd6XoyxI3VKorFvEXuv047s8OdiLwaZI-AuluwjV2ew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Henrico County Board of Supervisors voted on multiple routine and non‑routine items at its Aug. 26 meeting.

Ian Trapp, a Three Chopt Road resident, told the board the fatality was the “predictable result of a road that is not safe” and asked for three immediate actions: reduce the speed limit on the stretch between Perham and Forest Avenue, commission an independent safety audit, and expedite physical safety improvements including raised, lit crosswalks and lane‑restriping to create space for protected bike lanes. “I came tonight to ask for 3 things,” Trapp said, listing lower speeds, an audit and expedited infrastructure changes.

Students, parents and other residents described inconsistent access for children who walk or bike to school. Eugene Kevinson and his daughter, who attends Shady Grove Elementary, said recent stop signs improved traffic flow but that the school’s walking/biking program was not being applied equally to all students because of safety concerns at a specific intersection. Student Faith (Evaine) said: “Every student deserves the same chance to get to school safely without worrying about accidents or dangerous streets.”

Other speakers including Paul Momquist and Jennifer Lieberman urged improved bicycle safety education and helmet use; Kaye Carrithers, a registered nurse with public‑health experience, urged painted crosswalks, signage and a short‑term public‑safety campaign while longer projects continue. Carrithers noted that a major bus‑rapid‑transit project affecting West Broad Street will not be completed until 2029 and said “we can’t wait that long” for basic safety fixes.

Board members acknowledged the requests and several supervisors said staff already have some Three Chopt projects under review. A supervisor said the county will examine additional changes and gather further information from police and staff to consider near‑term measures. The board requested staff follow up on residents’ suggestions and provide options for speed‑limit changes and physical crossing improvements.","Multiple residents spoke during public comment Aug. 26 urging immediate safety improvements on Three Chopt Road after an 11‑year‑old was struck and killed. Speakers asked for speed‑limit reductions, audited safety improvements, raised crosswalks, more sidewalks, crossing guards and equitable access for students walking or biking to school.","actionData","errors"]
