Parksley council certifies receipt of coronavirus relief funds and votes to retain local allocation
Summary
The Parksley Town Council unanimously authorized the mayor to certify receipt of Coronavirus Relief Fund payments and voted to retain the town's CRF allocation for Parksley and its licensed businesses rather than returning monies to Accomack County.
PARKSLEY, Va. — At its June 8 meeting, the Parksley Town Council unanimously authorized Mayor Wayne Marshall to sign the Certification for Receipt of Coronavirus Relief Fund payments and approved a separate motion to keep the town’s entire CRF allocation for Parksley and its licensed businesses.
Councilman Vince Savona moved both measures. The first motion empowered the mayor to execute certification documents related to the federal CARES Act funds, and the second directed that the town retain its share of relief funds rather than ceding any portion to Accomack County. Both motions passed with recorded ayes from Savona, Matthews, Nash, Parks, Welch and Russell.
Minutes do not list a detailed allocation plan for the CRF money, nor do they state specific dollar amounts or eligible uses beyond the general purpose of supporting the town and licensed businesses. Council discussion in the minutes focused on authorizing certification and maintaining local control of the funds.
The council’s actions create administrative authority to receive and hold the funds; the minutes do not record subsequent spending decisions, program rules, or reporting steps required by state or federal guidance.
