Summary
At its April 28 meeting the Henrico County Board of Supervisors introduced a county-code recodification ordinance for public hearing May 26 (explicitly not touching zoning), approved several routine appointments and a resolution honoring coach Franklin Harris, and introduced a temporary polling-place change for the August primary.
The Henrico County Board of Supervisors on April 28 introduced a county-code recodification ordinance for a public hearing on May 26 and approved a slate of routine board business including appointments, a resignation acceptance and a resolution honoring Highlands Springs coach Franklin Harris.
Andrew Newby told the board the recodification is a periodic housekeeping update meant to resolve conflicts, delete obsolete provisions, modernize terms and conform cross-references to state and federal law. He emphasized the recodification does not include the county zoning or subdivision ordinances and that the public hearing on the recodification is set for May 26, 2026.
The board accepted the resignation of Deborah Ann Gribben from the Board of Social Services (agenda item 91-26) and appointed Trevor Taylor as an eligible member of the county’s employee grievance panel (agenda item 92-26). It also approved a resolution (90-26) recognizing coach Franklin Harris for his career at Highlands Springs and presented a commemorative copy to Harris.
On elections business, the board introduced an ordinance (94-26) to temporarily move the Monument Hills Precinct polling place for the August primary from Tuckahoe Presbyterian Church to Crestview Elementary School because the church has other obligations on the primary date; the county said the move would cease after the primary and precincts would revert for the November election. County staff said signage and two mailers will alert voters and noted that because ballots are identical for the congressional primary the temporary cross-district polling arrangement is permitted.
