Patrick County Board of Supervisors certifies closed session, approves AEP right-of-way changes and confirms two appointments
Summary
At a brief meeting, the Patrick County Board of Supervisors unanimously certified a recent closed session, approved AEP right-of-way changes and confirmed Jerry Adams and Terry Tilly for regional appointments; the board adjourned until a retreat on March 26, 2026.
The Patrick County Board of Supervisors unanimously certified the legality of a recent closed session, approved changes proposed by AEP in a county right of way and confirmed two nominations before adjourning until a retreat set for March 26, 2026.
The certification motion came from a committee member, who stated, "I move to certify this to the best of each member's knowledge," saying the closed session had covered only matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements and only items listed in the motion to enter closed session were considered. The motion was seconded and the board voted to certify; Supervisors Marshall, Kendrick and Wood voted "aye," and the chair also recorded an "aye."
The board next addressed infrastructure changes. A board member moved "that we accept AEP changes in the right of way," referring to proposed modifications by AEP in county right-of-way areas. The motion received a second and passed by unanimous voice vote.
During the same meeting a board member nominated Jerry Adams for the representative-at-large seat on the West Piedmont Planning District Commission (the transcript reads "Planet District Commission"). The nomination was seconded and approved. The board also approved the reappointment of Terry Tilly to the PSA for another four-year term after a member moved her nomination and it was seconded.
County business concluded with a brief scheduling announcement. The board noted a future budget work session and the chair said the board would "stand adjourned until 03/26/2026 for the Board of Supervisors retreat." No votes failed and no dissents were recorded.
The actions taken—certification of the closed session, acceptance of AEP right-of-way changes and the two appointments—were passed by unanimous voice votes during this session.
