At a continued Bland County Board of Supervisors meeting on April 9, 2025, officials from local education, social services and county offices presented their FY26 budget requests and outlined program needs for the coming year. Chair Randy Johnson called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m., and Cameron Burton, county administrator, offered the invocation.
Dr. Dean Sprinkle, president of Wytheville Community College, presented the college’s FY26 funding request to the board; the transcript records his presentation but does not list a dollar figure. Sandy Bryant, chief executive officer of Mount Rogers Community Services, with colleagues Logan Nester and Patty Belcher, summarized the agency’s services and statistics and requested $84,766 in county support for FY26. Vicky Reedy, representing Bland Combined Courts, presented a salary request for court staff to be considered in the FY26 budget; the amount was not specified in the record. Stacy Grady, Bland County’s voter registrar, updated supervisors on the registrar’s budget requests and described future needs for the office, without listing specific dollar amounts.
The presentations were offered as part of the Board’s FY26 budget request forum; supervisors did not take final votes on funding levels at the continued meeting. Supervisors Keith Costello and Stephen Kelley participated in procedural motions during the session; Patrick Groseclose was noted as absent. The requests will be considered as the board develops the county budget in the coming weeks.
The meeting record shows no formal action on any of the individual budget requests at this session; the Board approved the meeting agenda at the start of the session and proceeded through the scheduled presentations.
