Carroll County PSA approves Webb Haven grant contingency, appoints budget committee members; consent agenda passed
Summary
At its April 7 meeting the Carroll County Public Service Authority approved a $100,000 Mount Rogers PDC grant allocation contingent on receiving the grant and set a four-year completion window; the authority also approved the consent agenda and named two budget committee members.
The Carroll County Public Service Authority approved multiple routine and project-related actions during its April 7 meeting, including a conditional grant allocation for a private development and the appointment of two members to a budget committee.
Votes at a glance: The authority approved its consent agenda; voted to allocate a $100,000 Mount Rogers PDC grant to the Webb Haven water project contingent on receiving the grant and with a four-year completion amendment; and approved nominations for two budget-committee members.
Grant for Webb Haven: An authority member moved to allocate $100,000 in Mount Rogers PDC grant funding to the Webb Haven development so the developer can install water lines and meters for 39 lots. The motion was amended to give the developer four years to complete the work and to make the allocation contingent on the authority receiving the Mount Rogers PDC grant. The amendment was approved and the final motion passed. The board recorded unanimous yes votes on both the amendment and the final motion.
The grant is a reimbursement-style award: staff explained the Mount Rogers PDC grant is awarded in the fall and reimburses eligible expenses dollar-for-dollar after award. "It's not guaranteed money, and it's not available until fall," staff said; members noted the developer could begin work before reimbursement but would only be reimbursed if the grant is awarded.
Budget committee appointments: The authority nominated and approved two members to serve on a budget committee. Mr. Jessup was appointed by unanimous vote. Mr. Slaight was also appointed; the roll call for that nomination showed one abstention and the remaining members voting yes.
Consent agenda: The authority opened the consent agenda for approval and voted to approve items a, b and c by voice vote; roll-call responses recorded yes votes from all members present.
Details of roll-call votes (as recorded in meeting): - Consent agenda (motion to approve items a, b, c): Mr. Jessup — yes; Mr. Bryant — yes; Mr. Collins — yes; Mr. Dixon — yes; Mr. Slaight — yes; presiding chair — yes; outcome: approved. - Mount Rogers PDC grant to Webb Haven ($100,000), amended to 4-year completion and contingent on grant award: Mr. Jessup — yes; Mr. Slaight — yes; Mr. Collins — yes; Mr. Bryant — yes; Mr. Dixon — yes; presiding chair — yes; outcome: approved (amendment and motion passed). - Budget committee nominations: Mr. Jessup — yes (appointed); Mr. Slaight — yes (appointed, recorded with one abstention on that vote as indicated in transcript); outcome: appointments approved.
Why it matters: The conditional grant will enable the developer to extend water service to 39 lots if the authority secures reimbursement from Mount Rogers PDC, and the budget committee appointments set the membership that will review the PSA's 2026 budget.
No other formal motions affecting Exit 1 financing were adopted at the April 7 meeting; staff will return with further funding options and timelines.
