Board approves childcare agreement extension, community revitalization fund and zoning amendments; authorizes naloxone vending discussions
Summary
At the meeting the Board of Supervisors approved a fourth extension to an SBC Enterprises childcare agreement, adopted three ordinance amendments (community revitalization fund, CAPA zoning housekeeping, poultry operations), changed public‑hearing start times and authorized staff to explore using opioid settlement proceeds for naloxone vending machines.
The Accomack County Board of Supervisors voted on a slate of routine items and several ordinance amendments during its meeting.
Childcare agreement extension: The board approved a Fourth Amendment to the county's February 2022 agreement with SBC Enterprises, extending SBC's performance deadline to Dec. 31, 2024, and authorizing the county administrator to execute the amendment. County Administrator Mike Mason said the extension was requested after roof damage at SBC's facility delayed the state licensure inspection. Supervisor Majors moved the extension and the motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
Opioid settlement funds and naloxone vending machines: Mason asked for authorization to consult with the Community Services Board and the Virginia Department of Health about expanding naloxone vending machines using approximately $209,000 in unobligated opioid settlement proceeds. The board authorized staff to meet with the CSB and return with details; no appropriation decision was made at this meeting.
Ordinances adopted: The board held public hearings (no public speakers) and approved three code amendments: - Establishing a Community Revitalization Fund in chapter 26 to provide competitive grants to nonprofits to remove derelict residential structures and begin accepting applications in February (ordinance amendment adopted by voice vote). - Housekeeping amendments to the Chesapeake Atlantic Preservation Overlay (CAPA) in chapter 106 zoning to reflect current state law (planning commission recommended approval; ordinance amendment adopted by voice vote). - Amending chapter 106 zoning to require a special‑use permit rather than a variance for poultry operations inactive more than two years (planning commission recommended approval; ordinance amendment adopted by voice vote).
Procedure change and fiscal items: The board amended rules of procedure (Article 3, Section 3.02) to move the start time for public hearings from 6:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., adopted budget and appropriation items on the agenda, and certified bills for payment following the county administrator's certification.
All items described above were adopted by voice vote; the transcript records unanimous "aye" responses with no roll‑call tallies.
