Bland County supervisors reappoint WCC member and name new planning commissioner
Summary
At a May 4 continued budget work session, the Bland County Board of Supervisors reappointed Debra Walker to the WCC Board (term through June 30, 2026) and appointed Ron Stevenot to the Planning Commission (term May 1, 2022–April 30, 2026).
The Bland County Board of Supervisors on May 4 reappointed Debra Walker to the WCC Board for a four‑year term ending June 30, 2026, and appointed Ron Stevenot to the Bland County Planning Commission for a four‑year term beginning May 1, 2022 and ending April 30, 2026.
Why it matters: Board appointments fill local advisory and quasi‑governing roles that advise county policy and planning decisions; the reappointment and new planning commissioner will serve multi‑year terms that carry through the county’s next budget and permitting cycles.
Supervisor Stephen Kelley moved to reappoint Debra Walker to the WCC Board; Supervisor Adam Kidd seconded. The board recorded a roll‑call vote of Kelley—yea; Kidd—yea; Costello—abstain; Johnson—yea, and the motion passed. The record shows Mr. Costello abstained from the reappointment vote; no reason for the abstention was stated on the transcript.
Separately, Supervisor Adam Kidd moved and Supervisor Stephen Kelley seconded the appointment of Ron Stevenot to the Planning Commission for a four‑year term (May 1, 2022–April 30, 2026). That motion passed unanimously.
The board recessed the continued FY23 budget work session to Tuesday, May 17, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. at the Bland County Courthouse.
No public comment on either appointment was recorded during this session.
