Commission on Local Government approves five friendly boundary adjustments, corrects Roanoke reference
Summary
The Commission on Local Government approved a staff report on five municipal boundary adjustments described as "friendly" and unanimously approved the report after correcting a reference to Roanoke County.
The Commission on Local Government unanimously approved a staff report on five municipal boundary line changes at its Aug. 15, 2017 meeting, accepting the adjustments as "friendly" and noting most involve towns and counties.
Senior Policy Analyst Kristen Dahlman presented the annual report, summarizing each proposed adjustment and confirming they were amicable transfers of jurisdiction. During deliberation, Chair Diane M. Linderman and members discussed a textual correction: the report incorrectly referenced a boundary change involving the City of Roanoke and Rappahannock County; the Commission amended the report to reflect that the change was between Roanoke County and a neighboring locality.
Commissioner Victoria L. Hull moved to approve the amended report; Vice-Chair Kimble Reynolds seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Commission did not identify objections to the substance of the five adjustments and recorded no abstentions.
The approval completes the Commission’s annual reporting on municipal boundary activity for the period covered and will be reflected in the Commission’s records and any notifications to affected localities. No further public comments were received on the item.
