The Prince George County Board convened for its regular meeting on September 9, 2025, addressing several key agenda items, including resolutions related to telecommunications, opioid settlements, community services, and board appointments.

The meeting commenced with a motion to authorize a public hearing scheduled for October, which was unanimously approved by the board members present.

Next, the board discussed a resolution concerning the amendment of the lease agreement for the Verizon Burrowsville cell tower. This third amendment allows Verizon to replace existing equipment on the tower with new antennas. The resolution was moved and seconded, receiving unanimous approval.

The board then shifted focus to opioid settlement resolutions. The first resolution authorized participation in the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy plan, allowing the county to vote on the acceptance of the plan and participate in a direct settlement with the Sackler family. The anticipated financial benefit from this settlement is approximately $139,000 over 15 years. This resolution was also unanimously approved.

Following this, the board addressed a second resolution to participate in settlements with eight opioid manufacturers, which is expected to yield around $22,018. This resolution was similarly moved, seconded, and passed without opposition.

The meeting continued with a request to renew the fiscal year 2026-2027 agreement with the Greater Reach Community Services Board. This agreement is essential for the board to continue receiving state-controlled funds. After a brief discussion regarding changes in the agreement, the board authorized the county administrator to sign the contract, which was approved unanimously.

The board also made several appointments, including three members to the Social Services Advisory Board and one member to the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority. Additionally, two members were reappointed to the Recreation Advisory Commission. All appointments were approved without dissent.

The meeting concluded with a motion for adjournment, which was also unanimously accepted. Overall, the board's discussions and resolutions reflect ongoing efforts to manage community resources effectively and address pressing issues such as opioid-related challenges.
