Mark (county staff) briefed the board on outreach and operational steps. County staff said they mailed notices to subscribing households, activated a hotline receiving about 50 calls per day, posted frequently asked questions and used local media and social media to explain options. The county said roughly 17,000 households subscribe to curbside recycling and that the county collected roughly 350–400 tons of recyclables per month under the prior contract.

Interim service and disposal: County officials said curbside containers will continue to be emptied during October but that, beginning Nov. 1, calls and materials will not be processed as recyclables unless the county secures a contractor; material placed at the curb after Oct. 31 will be collected as trash unless recycling service is restored. Residents who want to continue recycling were advised they can drive materials to county or partner drop-off locations (including Goodwin Neck and James City County convenience centers named during the meeting).

Procurement and coordination: Fuller and county staff said VPSA and York County are evaluating options, including an emergency contract being negotiated with Republic and other short-term offers; one vendor indicated it would provide service only if all four affected localities agree to the terms. York County also has a pending trash procurement that includes an optional recycling line item; staff expected proposals back soon and said a short-term decision could come midweek after the meeting, but a full, long-term solution could extend into January.

Billing and resident impacts: County staff said the November bill (which bills in arrears) covers September and October, and the county will credit customers for recycling service during the disruption so residents will not pay for months when curbside recycling is not provided. Staff also described overflow trash options for subscribers, including no-cost drop-offs at the county waste-management center or an optional extra trash container for a monthly fee (noted in discussion as $13/month).

Board concerns and oversight: Supervisors expressed frustration about perceived poor communication from VPSA, discrepancies in auditing and pricing across member localities, and the speed of VPSA’s termination decision. Several supervisors asked staff to prioritize local control when evaluating offers so York County can ensure service levels and transparency; officials said they will continue coordination with VPSA and neighboring jurisdictions and will report back as discussions progress.

No formal action was taken at the Oct. 7 meeting; county staff said they would continue procurement and emergency-negotiation efforts and update supervisors when a firm short-term or long-term contractor is confirmed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Supervisors","oneSentenceSummary","York County officials told supervisors on Oct. 7 that curbside recycling will pause after Oct. 31 after the Virginia Peninsula Solid Waste Authority terminated a processing contract covering York and three neighboring localities; county staff said they are pursuing emergency options and procurement responses.","taxTitle","York County, Virginia","taxId",38210,"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},6429394,"York County supervisors review proposed 2026 legislative priorities; admissions tax, roadway fund and Chesapeake Bay funding draw debate",1063,586960,1650645,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5906763-4e3fe5cd91d11c1b5a8c9ab8fbf2dadd&start=586&end=1650","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5906763-4e3fe5cd91d11c1b5a8c9ab8fbf2dadd/thumbnail_586960.jpg","/articles/6429394/York-County/Virginia/York-County-supervisors-review-proposed-2026-legislative-priorities-admissions-tax-roadway-fund-and-Chesapeake-Bay-funding-draw-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6429394-6739b6b6cb7f5371cf579e217d303636/orig.mp4?Expires=1770495664&Signature=j-tUGBHkIn06YVAZ~DrzYoUMD65hqQnrvM9T-3IgsWAe7kWvyzejt~Jwe0f569f6f-YJ05nF1sQKpE~KH0weoNAGGAcvOB3auLh401NXQr7gXT67u2FYrC7UoeFooO-Rj3tfrGf51bvDqFdsU1unhSoWdLTpokD5HRXOPXTNtOmYAwj6Mt8c4AhwnjV-p9oziYI8TDcvtDeMuLc5HWKDAGpZaysxy1nMxUmBwp9OozzX8OnxMEhGrnfFu6WRVJfizFIUbb5pWxbArkiHYy3OkWeuFmsttKjo17Q~BbpDbxyxGoqOrq49R7nRs8M17oPZ4bZlbw0ULbE9ytPIErS~0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","York County supervisors spent substantial time on Oct. 7 reviewing a draft of the county’s proposed 2026 legislative priorities, discussing whether to seek authority for an admissions tax, the creation of a primary and secondary road fund, and how costs for Chesapeake Bay Act compliance should be apportioned between the Commonwealth and localities.

Deputy County Administrator Bridal Fuller and county staff presented a redline draft that superimposed proposed changes on last year’s priorities and solicited supervisor direction on items to keep, remove or reposition. Fuller said staff compiled the draft from last year’s packet and stakeholder input and is seeking board guidance before finalizing the document for legislators.

Admissions tax: Supervisors debated removing a request that the General Assembly authorize counties to impose an admissions tax on businesses that sell tickets. Some supervisors said they did not view the tax as a top priority; others supported leaving legislative permission in place so the county would “have the option” later. The board did not remove the item.

Road funding: There was broad support for including a request to create a primary and secondary road fund so Hampton Roads jurisdictions would have a place to pool or receive appropriated funds for regional projects. Supervisors discussed keeping language that would allow municipalities and metropolitan planning organizations to collaborate on prioritization; they agreed to leave the request in the packet while clarifying language about dedicated funding sources.

Chesapeake Bay Act and sea-level rise: Supervisors discussed adding a priority to seek additional state funds tied to the Chesapeake Bay Act and to emphasize seawater rise and shoreline resiliency. One supervisor described county estimates from earlier studies that suggested very large theoretical county costs to meet certain Clean Water/Chesapeake Bay targets — figures cited during discussion included an estimate “about $100,000,000” in earlier modeling and larger numbers for broader remediation — and urged the General Assembly to share funding responsibility for mandates it imposes. Several supervisors acknowledged the issue’s complexity and said the item should remain to push for more state support.

Fire, public safety and education: The board discussed continuing a $5 million competitive grant program for fire departments and supporting an increase in the insurance-fee allocation that funds state fire programs; both items drew support from supervisors and the county fire chief. Other items under consideration include seat-belt/enforcement legislation and not prioritizing camera expansion that some officials said raised privacy concerns.

Land use and short-term rentals: Supervisors reviewed language seeking clarification from the General Assembly that existing local special-use requirements for short-term rentals and accessory structures not be preempted by recent statewide changes. The board asked staff to strengthen text that “emphasizes the importance of leaving land-use decisions to localities.”

Process and prioritization: Several supervisors criticized the annual priorities exercise as time-consuming and noted that the county historically achieved few legislative wins; staff and some supervisors argued the packet should present a unified multijurisdictional approach for Hampton Roads. The board did not adopt a ranked 1-to-N priority list at the meeting; direction to staff focused on clarifying wording and leaving several items in place to preserve options.

No formal vote was taken to finalize or transmit the packet at the Oct. 7 meeting. Fuller said staff will revise the draft to reflect the board’s direction and return a finalized version for use in legislator meetings and outreach.","Supervisors reviewed a draft legislative priorities packet for 2026, debating an admissions tax authorization, creation of a primary/secondary road fund, county share of Chesapeake Bay Act costs and several public-safety and education items; no final prioritized ranking was adopted during the meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6429397,"York County supervisors hear reestablished parks and recreation advisory board introduce priorities",432,27576,459750,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5906763-4e3fe5cd91d11c1b5a8c9ab8fbf2dadd&start=27&end=459","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5906763-4e3fe5cd91d11c1b5a8c9ab8fbf2dadd/thumbnail_27576.jpg","/articles/6429397/York-County/Virginia/York-County-supervisors-hear-reestablished-parks-and-recreation-advisory-board-introduce-priorities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6429397-8ce3c84492db5f81ffd0271828f3171f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770495664&Signature=BgDFwK-FHoYJFX6zAyRdyxO4KxDn4XDBSLOi87vIhkNkOpfBgbxUHmSJZFXf~ZRix~EzcunbiZthcrNB-rRrU-0BvQchj7Pfjv0ZM~dPIoyuyURAdqkDnU1fal1CAkfggsJhvR4miMV3H0HerzPGP1KatdEBoxS5U794G5z6hAZ3vvIVCF80zonCakZaxjlM3-1nt3Oy~UcAOUbd1XgHa9ue-~R-VES8TnwpLcpQr4e99UOUKf9dTMNkmtmEsCOybFHX2x4SEVM9aNm5k8UlYsjwlj6sjX0RDtiF0NJ1XQNMNFi2k8IaD3T5ZIHm1CZFs8Ok3TkhO9eDzdcP88xu5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nicholas Borelli, chairman of the reestablished Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, told the York County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 7 that the advisory group intends to act as a “vital link” between residents and the board as it implements a new countywide parks master plan.

The advisory board’s statement to supervisors emphasized open and transparent communication, periodic appearances before the board and outreach to residents to gather feedback, Borelli said. The board is working with McGill — the county’s consultant for a comprehensive parks master plan — and expects that empirical data from the consultant will guide priority-setting for facilities and programs.

“Since we’re newly reformed, we just want to make ourselves known to you and emphasize really that our intent is to play an active role in supporting parts of our system,” Borelli said. He identified the master plan as the advisory board’s immediate focus and said the group expects to return with more substantive recommendations after the consultant’s analysis is further developed.

Supervisors welcomed the presentation and encouraged the advisory board to lead site tours showing newer facilities and improvements across county parks. Several supervisors urged the board to consider programming and access for both children and older residents.

No formal action or vote was taken at the Oct. 7 meeting. The advisory board listed members in attendance and said it will continue periodic briefings to the Board of Supervisors as the McGill-led planning process proceeds.

Looking ahead, Borelli and supervisors said they expect the advisory board to bring more detailed priorities and data-driven recommendations once the consultant’s work and a recent customer-engagement survey are fully analyzed.","A newly reestablished Parks and Recreation Advisory Board introduced itself to the York County Board of Supervisors and said it will work with a hired consultant on a countywide master plan and community engagement.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6429378,"York County Board approves consent calendar items including minutes and a business-license refund",14,4846664,4861000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5906763-4e3fe5cd91d11c1b5a8c9ab8fbf2dadd&start=4846&end=4861","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5906763-4e3fe5cd91d11c1b5a8c9ab8fbf2dadd/thumbnail_4846664.jpg","/articles/6429378/York-County/Virginia/York-County-Board-approves-consent-calendar-items-including-minutes-and-a-business-license-refund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6429378-d950416fba62628ec1d433622750d055/orig.mp4?Expires=1770495664&Signature=XwBP059TQZnAnZ~PjnkSwSbwloluoe2tBzoqHS8at7AbgZ6xcib3Hu1MnZvvhRm~pgOATjC63vIXQI4BV-FOWxuVAD-fE~njuP37qEDS9KxZ5F6b2x5dNK-2o29JCpDYmIyW2P0Gppg8MRRcJNb2Jg55BwfiAs1MXEXPnt9P~0E63JiuVYDMDn6CAuwrY~jCbebF1CtQiy4Ax2xfm6oOMhUlDTVvTrbtNkWlTiu4WwzFjz7e9qcPK9bvGeaVmrUVJCOUWda8RefMDf1Jejw-EXrU0MCv4VYADn1GhGepjIn7vR9IOBugm~0beDlR6sN0pfuijpuR6ClXdJcXwQAgng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The York County Board of Supervisors approved the Oct. 7 consent calendar — which included approval of minutes and a request for a business-license refund — during the meeting’s consent portion.

The county has charging stations at the Taven Library parking area and at other county facilities including the courthouse and the Planning & Development Services building. Supervisors asked staff to investigate whether after-hours use is occurring at the courthouse and finance buildings and to return with recommendations that would be consistent across county locations.

Options discussed included placing time limits (restricting charging to facility hours), installing card readers or payment systems on chargers and, where hardware does not support pay activation, deactivating stations that cannot be metered. Several supervisors said any policy should avoid unfairly subsidizing private use and should be applied uniformly so that users do not simply shift from one county lot to another.

County staff said some chargers already have reader capability but the software or payment configuration has not yet been activated; staff were directed to follow up on costs and timeline to implement timers or payment access.
