Votes at a glance: sidewalk agreement, sign text amendment, consent items approved
Summary
At the March meeting the board approved authorization for the Route 385 Forks Road sidewalk contract (VDOT Appendix A), passed a sign‑code text amendment, approved consent agenda permits/minutes (with one abstention noted), and convened a closed session for legal counsel.
The Amelia County Board of Supervisors recorded several formal actions during the meeting:
Consent agenda: The board approved two event permits and February minutes (items a and b approved by show of hands). The Amelia Day festival permit (item c) was approved separately with an abstention recorded for 'Misty Easter' (as noted in the transcript). No individual roll‑call vote tally is provided in the record.
Route 385 Forks Road sidewalk (UPC 12535): The board authorized the county administrator to execute the VDOT Appendix A agreement and associated documents necessary to advance the Route 385 Forks Road sidewalk project. The motion was made by Supervisor (speaker 7) and passed by show of hands.
Sign text amendment ordinance: The board approved a zoning text amendment to change allowable building sign area from 1.0 square foot per linear foot of frontage to 1.5 square feet per linear foot per facade (maximum 150 sq ft; minimum total sign area 25 sq ft). The planning commission had recommended unanimous approval and the board carried the ordinance.
Closed session: The board convened a closed session under Virginia FOIA provisions to consult with legal counsel regarding the Amelia Library and the Landfill Advisory Committee; upon reconvening the board certified by roll call that discussion was limited to the permitted topics.
Notes on voting: In several cases the transcript records approval by voice or raised hands; it does not include a numerical roll‑call tally for individual supervisors.
