Board approves juror-pay donation ordinance allowing jurors to give pay to recovery services
Summary
The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a code amendment allowing jurors to direct their jury pay in writing to court-service organizations OAR and the Region 10 Community Services Board; the change implements authority in Virginia Code 17.1-619.
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to amend county code to permit jurors to donate their jury pay in writing to specified court-services organizations.
At a public hearing, staff explained the amendment would enact county code section 2‑1‑8 to allow jurors to direct compensation to the clerk's court-services unit or to approved organizations that provide services to the courts, such as Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR) or the Jefferson Area Community Corrections/Region 10 Community Services Board. Staff cited Virginia Code section 17.1‑619 as authorizing the county to permit such donations by ordinance.
A supervisor moved to approve the amendment; a second was recorded, and the board voted in favor (5–0). No members pulled the item for additional discussion and the ordinance passed on the same meeting date.
