Accomack supervisors set regular meetings for 5:30 p.m., adopt board rules and code of ethics
Summary
The Accomack County Board of Supervisors voted to move regular meetings from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., approved a 2026 meeting schedule, adopted a code of ethics and updated board rules and procedures to reflect the time change.
The Accomack County Board of Supervisors voted on Jan. 7 to change the start time for its regular meetings from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., with members citing scheduling conflicts and work obligations. A member requested the later start to accommodate work schedules and the motion was carried; one speaker later referenced the tally as "8 to 1."
The board also approved the 2026 meeting schedule reflecting the 5:30 p.m. start time and adopted the board rules and procedures for 2026. During discussion Mr. Mason noted the rules prescribe meeting start times and urged the board to consider how to handle public hearings traditionally scheduled for 6:00 p.m. given the new start time.
Separately, the board adopted a code of ethics for 2026 during the organizational session. There was no extended debate recorded on the ethics code in the transcript.
The board made these changes during routine organizational business; staff were directed to incorporate the start-time change into official rules and the 2026 calendar.
