Lunenburg board approves appointments, boundary agreement and advertises a fire ordinance public hearing

At its Feb. 8 meeting the Lunenburg County Board of Supervisors approved several routine administrative items, including appointments to boards and commissions, a joint agreement with Charlotte County to confirm boundary-line issues, and advertising a proposed ordinance on regulating or prohibiting outdoor fires for public hearing.

The board appointed Supervisor Greg Currin to the Virginia’s Heartland Industrial Facility Authority and to the Social Services Advisory Board; re-appointed David Fereday to the Social Services Advisory Board; appointed Jodi Powers-Bernhardt, Pat Adams and Mike Champion to the Board of Equalization; re-appointed Kevin Hodges and Anthony Ehman and appointed Robin Neal to the Board of Zoning Appeals. The slate of appointments passed unanimously.

County Attorney Frank Rennie presented an agreement to confirm the boundary line between Charlotte and Lunenburg counties covering 54 affected parcels and related procedures for deeds of correction; the board unanimously approved the joint resolution and authorized supervisors to sign.

Rennie also presented a proposed ordinance modeled after a neighboring county to regulate outdoor fires, recommending updating the penalty in section five to a Class 3 misdemeanor (up to $500). The board voted unanimously to advertise the ordinance for public hearing at a future meeting.

These administrative actions will be processed by county administration and appropriate offices, including the Commissioners of the Revenue and Treasurers when deeds of correction are recorded.
