Summary
At its Feb. 10 meeting the Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing snow‑removal staff, authorized competitive procurement for the Hollands fire station PPEA proposal, approved a resolution opposing two General Assembly bills affecting VMI governance, and adopted an emergency ordinance extending the tangible personal property filing deadline to Feb. 17, 2026; the board also approved a first reading to relocate a polling place and adopted the consent agenda.
The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved several formal items on Feb. 10. Summary of motions and outcomes:
• Resolution recognizing county snow‑removal team (adopted). County Administrator Richard Kegwood introduced a resolution thanking Parks, Recreation & Tourism and Stormwater/Drainage personnel for extended response and recovery efforts during the Jan. 24 and Jan. 30 winter storms. Motion to adopt was moved and seconded; roll call votes were recorded as affirmative by all board members present (Mister Radford; Missus ******; Mister North; Mister Mahoney; Missus Shepherd).
• Resolution authorizing competitive negotiation and procurement for redevelopment of the Hollands Fire Station (PPEA) (adopted). County Attorney Peter Lubeck said no competing proposals were received after soliciting for the unsolicited PPEA proposal; staff recommended using competitive negotiation for professional services. Motion carried with unanimous recorded votes.
• Resolution opposing House Bill 13‑74 and House Bill 13‑77 (VMI governance) (adopted). The board adopted a resolution urging the General Assembly not to enact HB 13‑74 (which proposes to dissolve the VMI Board of Visitors and place VMI under the Board of Visitors of Virginia State University) and HB 13‑77 (which would create a task force to study VMI). Motion carried by roll call with all members voting 'yes.'
• Emergency ordinance extending the Feb. 1 filing deadline for tangible personal property to Feb. 17, 2026 (adopted). Jason Peters, Commissioner of the Revenue, told the board mail and delivery disruptions from the recent storms prevented some taxpayers and businesses from timely filing; the board adopted the emergency ordinance by the required supermajority (roll call affirmative votes recorded).
• Ordinance (first reading) to temporarily relocate Hollands precinct (Precinct 206) polling place from Hollands Library to North Roanoke Baptist Church during library construction (first reading approved; second reading scheduled). Registrar Anna Claytor presented the change and the board approved first reading and set a second reading for Feb. 24, 2026.
• Consent agenda (adopted). The board enacted routine matters grouped under the consent agenda with unanimous recorded votes.
• Motion to enter closed session under Code of Virginia §2.2‑3711(A)(5) to discuss prospective business location/expansion (approved). The board recessed to the 3rd Floor for work sessions and voted to go into closed session to discuss prospective business matters across all magisterial districts.
All recorded votes shown in the meeting transcript were unanimous 'yes' votes with a five‑member roll call recorded as noted above. Specific motion texts, mover/second and roll‑call segments are available in the meeting record.
