Board approves $5,000 for Lake Anna hydrilla control; removes member from historic preservation panel
Summary
Supervisors unanimously approved a $5,000 appropriation to buy sterile grass carp to address hydrilla in Lake Anna and voted to remove Dennis Buchanan from the county historic preservation committee; both motions passed 7–0.
The board on Sept. 9 approved two separate motions that passed unanimously.
Lake Anna: Supervisor Marshall, a member of the Lake Advisory Committee, reported an extensive hydrilla infestation and moved to appropriate $5,000 to the Lake Anna Civic Association to purchase sterile Asian grass carp as a longer‑term control (carp cost cited at about $21 each). Board members discussed using tourism funding or community funds to cover the cost and confirmed Louisa County planned to share costs; the motion passed with a 7–0 vote.
Committee removal: Supervisor Marshall also moved to remove Dennis Buchanan from the county’s historic preservation committee; the board approved the removal 7–0.
Other routine business: The board approved the agenda and multiple consent‑agenda grant acceptances and procurement items earlier in the meeting, including highway safety grants, NG911 funding, witness protection program grant for the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, purchase orders for software and health‑department upgrades, and wetland mitigation credit purchases for Fire Company 12. Several consent items were summarized by staff during the meeting and approved as presented.
