On July 10 the Charlotte County Board of Supervisors approved a series of financial motions that included restricting $404,250 from the General Fund to serve as the county match for a 2023 Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) application for RiverStreet to provide universal broadband services. The motion to restrict the funds passed unanimously.
In the same meeting the Board approved invoice payments for FY2023 totaling $13,511.33, FY2024 totaling $1,251,389.04, invoices received after the June meeting totaling $12,127.42, and FY2023 appropriations of $47,620. The Board also approved a refund of $8,267.32 to Britthaven, Inc. Corp. and a $214.20 refund for building permit #753 to BCC Excavating, Inc. All those motions recorded aye votes.
Supervisor Walker had earlier proposed hiring Davenport Financial Services to lead a Board work session to update financial statements and craft a longer-term financial plan; the Board hired Davenport at a cost not to exceed $10,000. County Administrator Daniel N. Witt also updated the Board on interagency outreach and recommended waiting for HB206 to conclude before convening certain state agencies for solar impact discussions. The Board set several public hearings for August 14 to address the FY2024 budget amendment, a real estate tax refund method, and a conditional use permit for a sawmill.
