The Accomack County Board of Supervisors on April 16 approved a series of routine motions, voted to distribute remaining Eastern Shore Public Library project funds, authorized applications for federal project funding to support a proposed natural gas expansion, and scheduled a public hearing on ambulance service rates for fiscal 2026.
The votes were largely unanimous and taken by voice or roll call during the regular meeting. Several matters required only routine motions; others authorized staff to pursue next steps, such as applying for congressionally directed spending and scheduling a public hearing.
The actions taken at the meeting included: approval to allow Supervisors Parks and Hart to participate remotely, adoption of the meeting agenda and minutes, approval of the consent agenda, authorization to distribute $120,062 (43.41% of the remaining project balance) to the Eastern Shore Public Library Foundation with the county retaining the remainder for county facility outfitting, authorization for the county administrator to apply for congressionally directed spending to cover an expected $900,000 shortfall on a natural gas expansion project, scheduling a public hearing next month to set ambulance service rates for FY 2026, adoption of the attached VDOT Secondary Six-Year Plan resolution (FY 2026–2031), approval of an ordinance amendment to chapter 1 of the county code clarifying that county code references to state law include future amendments, and authorization to pay county bills.
Several votes were taken by voice with no roll-call count recorded in the transcript; the closed-session motion was affirmed by roll call. The board also held a closed session under Virginia Code § 2.2-3711(A)(19) to discuss cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
