Chesterfield County Council approves noise ordinance amendment, allocates $10,000 for Lynch's River due diligence and awards road bid
Summary
At the Aug. 14 meeting the council approved a noise ordinance amendment, authorized a grant application to pave the Health Department parking lot, declared sheriff's equipment surplus, approved a bid award for Rupert Courtney Lane, and approved a $10,000 allocation from economic development funds toward Lynch's River Industrial Park due diligence for Palmetto Sites designation.
Chesterfield County Council on Aug. 14 approved a package of routine and project-specific items, including adoption of a noise ordinance amendment, a resolution to seek grant funds to pave the Health Department parking lot, surplus property declarations from the sheriff’s office, and a recommended bid award for a road project. Council also approved allocating $10,000 from economic development funds to help pay for due diligence at Lynch's River Industrial Park as the county pursues a Palmetto Sites designation.
On the noise ordinance, council completed a third reading and passed the amendment by voice vote. The council also approved a resolution authorizing submission of an application to the Division of Community Grant Programs, Department of Commerce, to pave the Health Department parking lot.
Miss Stanley told council staff had received two bids for the Rupert Courtney Lane project off Highway 601 and that the engineering alliance recommended awarding the contract to Fur Grading, the lower bidder. Council accepted the recommendation and approved the award; funding for the project was identified as coming from CTC allocations.
Miss Lear explained the Palmetto Sites process and said due diligence for Lynch's River Industrial Park would cost $79,000; as a tier 4 county Chesterfield's direct share would be 25%, or $19,750, but Project PAC has withdrawn and staff asked Lynch's River Electric Co-op to reallocate a $100,000 utility tax credit to the county's road and water fund (subject to the co-op board). Council approved a motion to allocate $10,000 from the county's economic development fund to the Lynch's River due diligence package.
Other routine actions included declaring sheriff's department computers, tablets and printers surplus and approving a second reading of a subdivision-related ordinance (with one section, 154.08, flagged for further review). The council also approved naming several private roads in the Farm Campground for E911 (Ace Bandage Road, Blackjack Loop and Club Lane) and approved naming a private driveway Diamond Lane after a resident request.
Council filled several committee seats by voice vote, appointing Eugene Newman to the Chesco Services Board and replacing members on ATAX and employee-related committees. The council entered executive session to discuss solar projects and negotiations regarding the Alpha Center; upon return it reported no motions or votes were taken in executive session and adjourned.
