- Ladder-truck MOU amendment: The board accepted a revised payment schedule for the Appomattox Volunteer Fire Department ladder truck loan.

- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda, which included bills, minutes, supplemental appropriations, and fund transfers. Mover: Reverend Jones. Second: Mister Carter. Outcome: approved.
- Purdue Pharma settlement: In the attorney’s report the county attorney said the county’s vote in favor of the Purdue Pharma opioid litigation settlement was submitted; the settlement provides nationwide opioid-abatement funding (reported by the attorney as part of the broader litigation settlement). Action: county vote submitted by county attorney; no local board motion was required during the meeting.
All listed items above were presented to the board in the meeting packet and were approved during the meeting; the board directed staff as appropriate for implementation and follow-up on several items.
