Henrico supervisors elect chair and vice chair, approve 2026 meeting schedule and dozens of appointments
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Henrico County Board of Supervisors elected Reverend Roscoe D. Cooper as chair and Misty Rountree as vice chair, adopted the board’s 2026 meeting schedule, approved an annual electronic participation policy and confirmed numerous appointments to county boards and commissions.
Reverend Roscoe D. Cooper was elected chair of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors for 2026 after a nomination and voice vote on Resolution 1-26, the board announced Jan. 13. The resolution passed by voice vote and Cooper took the oath of office.
The board also elected Misty Rountree as vice chair under Resolution 2-26; that resolution likewise passed by voice vote. County Attorney Andrew Newby conducted the election and closed nominations before the board voted.
In a separate action the board adopted its regular meeting schedule for 2026 with Resolution 3-26. The schedule maintains the board’s customary second- and fourth-Tuesday meeting pattern at 6 p.m., with exceptions in July, November and December and a special 5 p.m. start on March 24 for the FY27 budget public hearing.
The board approved an annual electronic participation policy that conforms with state law (Resolution 4-26). Andrew Newby told the board there were no changes from the prior year.
Most of the meeting addressed routine appointments. The board voted to confirm a long series of nominees to county advisory boards and regional bodies, including appointees to the Planning Commission, Board of Building Code Appeals, Economic Development Authority, Henrico Area Mental Health and Developmental Services Board, Library Advisory Board and numerous other commissions and panels. Each appointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote or unanimous consent as recorded on the Jan. 13 agenda.
No roll-call tallies or roll-call dissent were recorded in the meeting transcript for these items; votes were recorded by voice and the minutes indicate each resolution passed.
