The board approved multiple appointments to advisory boards and commissions, set Board of Equalization compensation at $100 for a half day and $150 for a full day, approved the consent agenda and voted to close county offices for a half day on Nov. 26 (Thanksgiving).
At the meeting in the renovated courthouse, the Appomattox County Board of Supervisors approved a slate of appointments to county boards and commissions, set compensation for the Board of Equalization and added a half‑day closure for Thanksgiving.
Appointments: The board appointed David Hicks, George Allman, Jeff Smith, Don Jones and Steve Conley to the Board of Equalization. The board reappointed Susan Williams (Appomattox River District) and Hope Adams (Rice/Rec Island District) to the library board for four‑year terms ending June 30, 2029. Gary Tanner was reappointed to the Economic Development Authority for a four‑year term ending Dec. 31, 2029. The board also reappointed several members to the Board of Building Code Appeals and approved Planning Commission appointments to fill a vacated term.
