Board takes routine actions: proclamations, minutes, appropriations and code updates
Summary
The board adopted a Fair Housing Month proclamation, approved March minutes, adopted appropriations (including a school appropriation and payment of bills), approved a vehicle decal code change (exempting farm vehicles from the $25 decal fee), and approved a zoning text amendment to add private schools as a special‑exception use in B‑1.
At its April 14 meeting the Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors took several routine or non‑controversial actions.
- Fair Housing Month proclamation: The board unanimously adopted a proclamation declaring April 2025 as Fair Housing Month in Rockbridge County. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by roll-call.
- Minutes: The board approved draft minutes for March 2025 and March 20, 2025 in two separate motions; both motions passed unanimously.
- School appropriation resolution: The board approved a resolution to appropriate $674,363 to Fund 50 (the school fund), which staff said includes $50,000 for recreation center and high school renovation planning, $619,297 in IDA/grants, and $5,066 in Title III grants. The motion to approve the resolution passed by roll‑call.
- County financial resolution and payment of bills: The board approved additional appropriations and payment of bills totaling $1,235,026.61 and approved revenue and expense reports through March 31. The motion carried by roll‑call.
- Vehicle decal code amendment: The board adopted an ordinance amendment to chapter 27 (taxation) clarifying that vehicles must have county decals; the amendment exempts farm‑use vehicles from the $25 county decal purchase requirement in light of changes to state registration law. The board approved the amendment after a brief public hearing with one comment clarifying the exemption.
- Zoning text amendment — private schools in B‑1: The board adopted a zoning-text amendment to allow private schools as a use by special exception in the general-business (B‑1) zoning district; the planning commission had recommended approval and no members of the public spoke.
All items were adopted on recorded roll-call votes as part of the evening’s consent and legislative items.
