The Floyd County Board of Supervisors approved multiple appointments and reappointments during its reorganization meeting, covering local and regional boards. The board handled the items largely by motion and roll-call vote, with most actions approved and few objections.
Key appointments approved during the session included: - Supervisor Cox reappointed to the Extension Leadership Council for a one‑year term (01/03/2025–01/05/2026). - Supervisor Bechtel reappointed as the county’s representative to the Floyd County Public Service Authority (three‑year term) and to the Floyd County Chamber of Commerce liaison post (one‑year term). - Rick Parrish was recommended for reappointment to the Floyd County Public Service Authority pending his acceptance; the board said the town must still act on the jointly appointed seat. - Supervisor Bechtel reappointed as the county’s representative to the Floyd County Tourism Development Council for a two‑year term (01/03/2025–01/05/2027). - Joe Turman appointed as the county representative to the New River/Mount Rogers Workforce Development Consortium Board, with the county administrator named as alternate. - Joe Turman reappointed as the board’s representative to the New River Regional Jail Authority with Supervisor Cox named as alternate for one year. - As customary, the chair was named the county’s legislative contact to the Virginia Association of Counties for a one‑year term. - Chief Dustin Thomas reappointed to the Western Virginia Management Services Council for a two‑year term.
Most of the motions to approve these appointments passed by voice or roll-call vote with no substantive debate. The board noted a few items required coordination with the town before finalizing joint appointments and asked staff to verify acceptance when a nominee had not yet confirmed willingness to serve.
Supervisors said they expect most of the appointments to remain unchanged and thanked appointees for their continued service at the county and regional levels.
