Board sets FY‑26 budget calendar and advertises proposed real‑property tax rate for public hearing
Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved calendar changes to the FY‑26 budget process and authorized advertisement of a proposed real‑property tax rate for public hearing. The board also approved multiple administrative motions (remote participation, closed session authority).
At the Feb. 26 work session the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors took several formal votes related to the FY‑26 budget calendar, tax‑rate advertisement and procedural matters.
Key actions and votes
- Agenda adoption with added item (FY‑26 budget calendar update): Motion made by Mr. Hodge, seconded by Mr. Doad; vote recorded as unanimous on the recorded roll for that motion (Chair vote present) during the agenda adoption segment (vote recorded in transcript as “All in favor? Aye... 3‑0” at that time, reflecting present members for that motion).
- Remote participation approvals: The board approved remote participation for Supervisor Abrahond (stated calling in from his office for a work emergency) and later for Supervisor Sheridan (stated he was on a ship off The Bahamas). Each remote‑participation vote was moved, seconded and passed (recorded roll calls in transcript showed unanimous votes at the time of those motions).
- Authorization to advertise proposed FY‑26 real‑property tax rate for public hearing: The board considered motions to set an advertised proposed rate for public hearing. Following discussion, a motion to advertise a proposed tax rate of $0.76 per $100 of assessed value was made; a subsequent amendment changed the advertised proposed rate to $0.75 per $100 and that amended motion passed on a 5‑0 recorded vote. The board therefore authorized staff to advertise the proposed rate of $0.75 per $100 for the public hearing.
- FY‑26 budget calendar revision: The board voted to revise the budget calendar, moving the proposed budget public hearing to April 16, 2025 and the adoption of the FY‑26 budget and calendar‑year tax rates to April 23, 2025. Motion carried 5‑0.
- Closed‑session authorization: The board approved convening a closed session under Virginia Code § 2.2‑3711(a)(1) and (a)(8) for personnel, emergency services and legal matters; the motion and certification to enter closed session were recorded and passed (votes recorded in the transcript segment).
The board’s motions set the scheduling and the advertised ceiling for the upcoming public hearings; supervisors and staff will continue to refine department budgets and present additional details before adoption on April 23.
