What the Henrico Board approved Dec. 16 — votes at a glance
Summary
A roundup of resolutions, lease actions, real‑property approvals and contract awards approved at the Dec. 16 Henrico County Board of Supervisors meeting, including personnel recognitions, leases, quitclaim deeds, contract awards and restoration contracts.
The Henrico County Board of Supervisors approved multiple consent and action items at its Dec. 16 meeting. Key actions included:
• Resolutions of appreciation: The board adopted resolutions honoring Anthony J. Romanello (service summarized in the resolution) and Robert H. Whitty Jr. for long public service and contributions to planning and zoning.
• Real property and lease actions: The board authorized a quitclaim deed to release county interest in a portion of an existing utility easement at 9927 Wayland Drive and approved a lease amendment to add county‑owned adjacent land to the Sports & Entertainment Authority lease to provide additional event parking (map indicated ~130 additional outer‑lot spaces). The board also approved a lease authorization for ~36,000 square feet at 4259 Carolina Avenue for emergency management, workplace safety, recreation and parks and other county agencies (initial term ~61 months; year‑one base rent not to exceed $28,500).
• Contract awards: Unit‑price contracts for stream, wetland and outfall restoration projects countywide were awarded to Summit Environmental Services and Environmental Quality Resources, with work anticipated to begin in January 2026. The board also approved engineering contract actions for the SCADA project and the East End transmission main (see separate coverage).
Most items were introduced, presented by staff, and approved by voice vote after public hearings that attracted no speakers. Where staff recommended execution authority, the board authorized the county manager or appropriate designee to execute documents in forms approved by county counsel.
Votes: Most items were adopted by voice vote with no roll‑call tallies read into the record. Where motions were recorded, the mover and a second were noted in the public minutes.
