At its July 3 meeting, the Chesterfield County Council approved several ordinances and procurement actions, moved a finance committee recommendation and entered executive session on economic-development and legal topics.
The council approved a GEO Bond Ordinance on third reading. A council member asked for an explanation; a council speaker described the measure as intended "to make the installment purchase revenue bond payments" on a prior installment-purchase revenue bond and reviewed statutory notice practice, saying proposed ordinances are available at the County Council office and that notices are published at least 15 days before final readings under state practice.
Council also approved an ordinance authorizing the county to purchase property from and sell property to the Town of Chesterfield on third reading and approved a second reading of a noise-ordinance amendment that moves responsibility for noise violations from the codes department to the sheriff's department.
The finance committee recommended and council approved a one-time stipend to each rescue squad (transcript language: "a 5,001 time stipend to each rescue squad") to be funded from opera funds. Procurement staff reported one responsive bid for gravel-based material; council approved awarding the contract to Georgia Stone Products at $12 per ton for a total contract amount of $100,000.
Later in the meeting council moved into executive session to discuss matters "relating to proposed location expansion, provision of services, encouraging location, expansion of industries and that is regarding Project Palmetto," and to receive attorney–client privileged legal advice on proposed contractual arrangements; the agenda also listed a proposed transfer station and municipal inmate matters. The transcript notes council took no votes while in executive session. The meeting concluded after a return to regular session and an adjournment motion.
