Votes at a glance: April Prince George County Board meeting — key outcomes

Here are the principal formal actions taken by the Prince George County Board of Supervisors at the April 2025 meeting, with available vote information and immediate effects.

Adoption of agenda — Board voted to adopt the meeting agenda by motion; roll call indicated the motion carried.

Consent agenda — The board approved the consent agenda by roll call; the packet listed two consent items.

Personal property and machinery & tools tax rates (Version 2) — The board voted to approve tax resolutions for tangible personal property and machinery & tools to allow timely billing for June 5. The motion approved Version 2, which postponed action on real estate and manufactured home tax rates so the county could finalize those later. Roll call recorded the motion passed (members recorded as voting yes during roll call included Mr. Pugh, Mr. Webb, Mr. Graham, Mrs. Womack and Mr. Cox when the clerk called the roll).

Water and sewer user charges and connection fees — The board adopted ordinance changes to water and sewer rates and connection fees to become effective July 1, creating an estimated $242,000 in additional FY2026 utility revenue. Roll call: Mr. Webb — Yes; Mr. Brown — Yes; Mrs. Wymack — Yes; Mr. Cox — Yes; Mr. Pugh — No. Motion carried.

Animal shelter adoption fee ordinance (proposed change denied) — After public comment and discussion, the board voted to deny the proposed ordinance amendment that would have reduced adoption fees and reintroduced post‑adoption sterilization agreements. Roll call recorded: Mr. Webb — Yes; Mr. Pew (Pugh) — Yes; Mr. Cox — No; Mrs. Womack — Yes; Mr. Brown — Yes. The motion to deny carried.

Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA) resolution — The board adopted the annual PPTRA resolution as requested by the commissioner of the revenue. Roll call recorded all members voting Yes for that resolution.

Concept Development (Hollingsworth) renewal request — The board denied a request to renew an existing development agreement with Concept Developments/Hollingsworth Companies. The Economic Development Authority had not voted in favor of the extension; the board’s recorded roll call vote carried to deny the renewal.

Solar siting: Zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan amendments — The board voted to initiate a zoning ordinance amendment to limit large‑scale solar energy facilities to M‑3 (heavy industrial) by special exception and to initiate a companion comprehensive plan amendment to reduce any acreage caps and clarify siting policy. Both initiation resolutions passed by roll call.

Adjournment — The board voted to adjourn the meeting by roll call; the motion carried.

Ending — Several actions established follow‑up steps: staff to produce updated assessment numbers and to implement billing under approved tax and utility rate resolutions. The board took no final action on the real property tax rate; that decision will follow when updated assessment figures are available.
