Windsor Town Council approves budget adjustments, extends Town Center HVAC contract and hears safety, housing complaints
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Windsor Town Council unanimously approved two budget appropriations totaling $28,326.89 and a one-year HVAC maintenance extension for the Windsor Town Center, and heard public comments about speeding on Bank Street and reported mold and maintenance problems at Windsor Court Apartments.
The Windsor Town Council on Jan. 13 unanimously approved three budget moves and extended a one-year HVAC maintenance contract for the Windsor Town Center.
Cheryl McClanahan, the town treasurer, told the council that the Water Fund reimbursed the General Fund more than $53,000 for water salaries and indirect costs in December 2025, monthly meals tax receipts totaled $24,491, and interest earnings for the account were $15,775.43 at a 3.9% rate. Following that report, the council voted to approve the Treasurer's Report as presented.
In new business the council accepted a resolution appropriating $1,538.83 in insurance reimbursement to the general fund for police vehicle repairs and maintenance; it also appropriated $26,788.06 from an E911 true-up to the general fund contingency account. The two appropriations sum to $28,326.89. Both resolutions were offered as motions, seconded, and approved unanimously.
The council also approved a one-year extension of the HVAC maintenance contract for the Windsor Town Center with Comfort Systems of Virginia, with a 2.7% increase tied to the Consumer Price Index. Town Manager William Saunders presented the proposed extension; Vice Mayor David Adams moved to approve the extension and Councilman "Gibbie" Dowdy seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Council members also received updates on capital work: staff continue to explore options for completing the Duke Street and Virginia Avenue water-main replacement project, and work to restore the Norfolk & Western caboose is under way (side panels installed; roof-panel replacement nearly complete). Councilmembers asked for the caboose timeline to return on a future agenda.
The meeting record shows the actions taken in motions numbered in the minutes; the council’s votes on these items were recorded as unanimous in the official meeting minutes and vote chart.
The council heard public comments about neighborhood safety and housing conditions (see separate accounts). Mayor George Stubbs invited one tenant who raised housing concerns to discuss the issue with him after the meeting rather than in open session.
The council adjourned at 7:51 p.m.
