Board approves BOE nominee recommendations, VRA payment and chair appointment
Summary
The Dinwiddie County Board unanimously approved recommendations for four Board of Equalization nominees to be forwarded to the judge, authorized a yield‑reduction liability payment tied to a 2019 bond, and voted to appoint the chair; all actions passed by roll call.
The Dinwiddie County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Wednesday to take three routine but consequential actions: recommend four candidates to the judge for appointment to the Board of Equalization, approve a yield‑reduction liability payment tied to a 2019 bond, and elect the board chair.
A board member presented four names as nominees for the Board of Equalization: Renny Bridgeman, Joe Battison, Thomas ****** and Susan Nye (alternate). The presenter said all had prior BOE service and were willing to serve; the board discussed training scheduled the third week of January with hearings expected in mid‑February depending on filing deadlines. A motion to forward the names to the judge was made, seconded and carried on a roll‑call vote in which Mister Lee, Miss Ebron Bonner, Mister Dooley, Doctor Moore and Mister Chavis all voted "Aye." The board recorded the motion as approved.
On a separate action, the board approved sending funds to VRA to cover the county's portion of a yield‑reduction liability payment to the IRS tied to a 2019 borrowing. Presenter Anne Harrington said the borrowing had earned about $340,000 in interest and that under IRS rules the county could not keep approximately $85,000 of that earnings. "The part we cannot keep is about 85,000," she said, and said roughly $14,000 would be charged to tax‑exempt proceeds while nearly $300,000 of taxable bond proceeds would be returned to the capital improvement program. The motion to accept the payment as presented was made, seconded and approved by unanimous roll call.
After those votes the board made and approved a procedural motion to appoint the chairman and then adjourned the meeting.
Next steps: the nominees will be forwarded to the judge for formal appointment and county staff will implement the payment to VRA per the approved resolution.
