The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors approved a slate of routine and administrative items, including consent-agenda actions, appropriations for school grants, surplus vehicle declarations and sales, and an updated budget calendar.
Key votes at the meeting included:
- Agenda changes and consent agenda: The board amended the agenda to add a closed session for real property discussions and to move school presentations earlier in the agenda; the amended consent agenda was approved by roll call.
- School appropriations: School division representatives requested appropriations for a literacy grant, reallocated Title I/III funds and a small school-security reallocation from the Virginia Department of Education to purchase handheld radios and security cameras; the board approved those appropriations unanimously.
- Surplus county vehicles and transfer to regional jail: The board declared four retired sheriff’s vehicles surplus, authorized the transfer of one vehicle (ID 1403) to the regional jail for training use, and authorized sale of the remaining three via GovDeals; the motion passed unanimously.
- Extension office memorandum of understanding: The board approved an updated memorandum of understanding with Virginia Cooperative Extension. Staff removed a line referencing secretarial services (which the county does not provide); the agreement is ongoing and county staff described it as consistent with prior arrangements.
- Revised FY2026 budget calendar: The board adopted a revised budget calendar that added a March 25 work session and clarified subsequent public hearing and adoption dates; the motion passed by roll call.
Other procedural actions included roll-call approval to convene a closed session under Virginia code for discussion of acquisition and disposition of real property and consultation with legal counsel. No final action from the closed session was reported in the public minutes portion of the transcript.
