Loading...
Summary
During its Dec. 15 meeting the Tazewell County CPMT approved edits to the county CPMT Long Range Plan, corrected and adopted the 2026 meeting schedule, entered and certified a closed session for case discussions, and approved multiple funding motions for foster care and related services.
The Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team on Dec. 15 reviewed and approved several procedural and program items including updates to its Long Range Plan, the 2026 meeting schedule, and multiple funding motions related to foster care and other case services.
Members reviewed edits made to the Long Range Plan, including an update to Objective 3 b on page five. David Taylor moved to approve all edits and updates, Roberta Boyd seconded and the motion was recorded as unanimously passed. The minutes note the plan update is effective Dec. 15, 2025 and available to localities through Fusion.
The CPMT also reviewed the 2026 CSA meeting calendar, corrected an erroneous January date (changing Jan. 6 to Jan. 25) and, because the Dec. 28 meeting fell in the Christmas holiday week, moved that date up one week to Dec. 21, 2026. David Taylor moved approval; Robin Jackson seconded and the schedule was approved unanimously.
Robin Jackson moved that the CPMT go into closed session to discuss Foster Care, CPS, Cumberland, Court Services, Tazewell County Schools cases and funding for those cases. The motion carried; after returning to open session the CPMT adopted a certification stating the closed meeting complied with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act pursuant to Code of Virginia §§ 2.2-3711 and 2.2-3712. The minutes record the certification vote as Ayes 5, Nays 0, Absents 5; absentees were Michelle Brown, Arlene Matney, Shanna Plaster and two vacancy positions.
Following the closed session, Roberta Boyd moved to approve funding to be provided for Foster Care, CPS, Cumberland, Court Services and Tazewell County Schools related to these cases; David Taylor seconded and the motion carried. Robin Jackson moved to approve funding for Foster Care Maintenance Services not reviewed by FAPT; the motion was seconded (the minutes list the seconder as 'Roberta Jackson', which appears inconsistent with the attendee list) and carried unanimously. The minutes do not state dollar amounts or itemize specific cases; they record unanimous passage of these funding approvals.
Earlier routine items approved by unanimous vote included the Nov. 17, 2025 CPMT meeting minutes, the November FY2026 Financial Report and Safe & Stable Funds for Nov. 30, 2025. The meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m. The CPMT’s next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 26, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.
