Botetourt EDA adopts public comment policy, approves minutes, financials and FY26 audit engagement
Summary
The Botetourt County Economic Development Authority unanimously adopted a formal public comment policy, approved the March 20 minutes (one abstention), approved March financials, and approved an FY26 audit engagement letter with Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates PLLC.
Chairman John Kilby called the Botetourt County Economic Development Authority to order and asked Kyle Rosner to present a proposed public comment policy. After review, Dr. Richard Bailey moved to adopt the policy; Mary Bess Smith seconded the motion and the Authority voted unanimously to approve the policy.
The board then considered routine business. A motion to approve the March 20, 2026 minutes was made by Jeff Emry and seconded by John Griffin; the minutes were approved with Mary Bess Smith recorded as abstaining because she was absent from the March meeting.
Kyle Rosner presented the bank statements ending March 31, 2026 and the March 2026 financial statements. After a brief discussion and a request from Mrs. Smith to follow up with Mrs. Bertholf on a couple of remaining questions, the board approved the financials by motion.
Later on the agenda, the board considered the FY26 Audit Engagement Letter from Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates PLLC. Mrs. Smith moved to approve the engagement letter and Dr. Bailey seconded; the Authority voted in favor and the motion passed.
The meeting adjourned after routine closing procedures.
