Loading...
Summary
The board approved two consent items—acceptance of a Library of Virginia conservation grant for the Clerk of Circuit Court (no county match) and tax‑exempt financing for a Huddleston Volunteer Fire Department brush‑truck upfit—received a transfer‑station repair update, and filled several advisory board vacancies.
The Bedford County Board of Supervisors approved the consent agenda and conducted routine business including grant acceptance, tax‑exempt financing, a solid‑waste transfer station update and multiple board appointments.
According to staff, the consent agenda included a resolution approving acceptance and appropriation of a conservation grant from the Library of Virginia for the Clerk of Circuit Court; the grant requires no county match. The second consent item authorized tax‑exempt financing to support purchase of a service‑body upfit for a Huddleston Volunteer Fire Department brush truck; the fire department will make the purchase and the county’s role is to guarantee the tax‑exempt financing. The board approved the consent agenda by roll call, 7–0.
County staff and administrators provided updates and appointments: Mr. Walhorn reported on a planned repair to the solid waste transfer building floor, noting one of two specialty vendors cut out and repaired failed concrete and rebar and that staff moved approximately 600 tons of material during a temporary operations shift so routine collection was not missed. The facility reopened without reported problems.
The board filled several advisory vacancies by voice vote. Nominations and appointments recorded in the meeting included Jeff Witt, Bob Flynn and Michael Dooley to the Board of Building Code Appeals; James Meyer to the Board of Zoning Appeals; Matthew Broke to the EDA for District 4; Lisa Pollard to the Recreation Advisory Committee (District 2); and the reappointment of David Wells to the Tri‑County Lakes Administrative Commission (TLAC).
The county attorney had no report. Board members noted calendar reminders and the next meeting date (Jan. 27, work session at 5 p.m., regular meeting at 7 p.m.). The meeting adjourned following a motion and second.
