Amelia County board approves transfer of 2.79-acre Richardson Road parcel for animal shelter
Summary
After discussion of options, the board approved a motion to give a 2.79-acre parcel on Richardson Road to the county for an animal shelter; the motion was moved and seconded and a verbal aye/no vote was recorded (detailed vote tally not specified in the transcript).
The Amelia County Board discussed a 2.79-acre parcel on Richardson Road proposed for the county animal shelter and approved a motion to give the land to the county.
Speaker 2 introduced the agenda item, listing four informal options (gift, sell for cost, sell at appraised value, sell at negotiated price) and noting the parcel’s 2.79-acre size. Members debated the county need and how the entrance should be engineered to serve both the shelter and future adjacent lots. After brief discussion, Speaker 5 moved to give the land to the county and Speaker 2 seconded. A formal vote was then taken and recorded verbally: the chair called for "All in favor, aye," and members replied "Aye;" when asked "Opposed," the recorded reply was "No." The transcript does not provide a roll-call or numeric vote tally.
Before the formal motion a quick hand poll earlier indicated one member had opposed giving the land, but the later formal motion and verbal vote in the transcript recorded an affirmative result. Planning/staff follow-up noted the item may need to be scheduled on a future legal agenda (staff suggested April or August) to complete the legal and administrative steps necessary to transfer the property.
Next steps in the transcript: prepare the formal legal agenda item for board review and complete any required paperwork; staff follow-up to confirm timing and any required documentation was assigned.
