Lunenburg supervisors approve emergency-services carryovers, discuss economic-development options
Summary
The Board approved carryover funds for fire and sheriff services, discussed carrying capital-improvement funds into FY2025, and received an update on a $100,000 Meridian Waste payment and a potential move to the new Virginia’s Heartland economic development authority; a final vote on leaving the Virginia’s Growth Alliance was deferred.
The Lunenburg County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 12 approved several carryover allocations for emergency services and discussed capital and economic-development matters.
Administrator Tracy M. Gee asked the Board to approve carryover funds: Kenbridge Fire received $4,513.02 for capital support; Victoria Fire & Rescue received $53,837.11 for capital support plus a requested $75,000 for a fire apparatus; the Sheriff’s Office carryover was $36,930.72; and the county noted $161,462 of a SHSP radio system grant had been spent in FY24, leaving $10,338 to be budgeted in FY25. Supervisor T. Wayne Hoover moved to approve the carryovers; the motion passed unanimously.
Administrator Gee also reported the county spent $9,400 of the FY2024 capital improvement budget and $56,868 from data capital, leaving $88,732; she asked the Board to consider carrying that amount into FY2025 if FY25 project quotes exceed the $75,000 budgeted for capital improvements. The Board did not take a final vote on that carryover during the meeting.
Gee reported the county received $100,000 from Meridian Waste for road improvements, deposited into the Solid Waste Sites Fund 137. She also briefed the Board about the newly formed Virginia’s Heartland Regional Economic Development Authority and recommended that Lunenburg consider leaving the Virginia’s Growth Alliance and joining the new organization; Supervisor Mike Hankins, who serves on the Growth Alliance board, agreed the new authority may better match the county’s investment. Members agreed to delay a formal vote and to consider the matter further before the December deadline to notify the Growth Alliance.
Administrator Gee said she continues to research allowable uses for opioid settlement funds and that the Deputy Animal Control position is open with interviews forthcoming. The Board adjourned at the end of the meeting.
