Resident asks Saltville to document livestock-water arrangement; council discusses RV dumping and a food-inspection motion fails
Summary
Property owner Bill Varner asked the Saltville council June 24 to record a longstanding arrangement that supplies free livestock water from a tank on Ridgeview Road to 195 Daydream Ridge Lane; the council also discussed possible RV-dumping sites and rejected (no second) a motion to recruit a Safe-Serve–certified event inspector.
Bill Varner told the Saltville Town Council on June 24 that when he bought property at 195 Daydream Ridge Lane the town had installed tanks on Ridgeview Road and a gravity-fed line that provided free livestock water to the neighboring farm. Varner said he could not find language in his deed that documents the arrangement and asked the council to make it explicit for the property’s buyer.
Varner also raised whether the town could provide RV-dumping facilities at sites that allow pull-through access. Councilman R.B. Henderson suggested contacting the Lions Club as a possible location and council members indicated they would explore options.
Council Member Suzanne Abramson moved to accept applications for someone who is Safe-Serve certified to inspect vendors at town-sponsored events. The motion received no second and therefore failed. Mayor Cheri Fullen had suggested researching how the neighboring towns of Chilhowie and Marion staff event food inspections.
Council members did not record additional action on Varner’s request during the work session; staff follow-up was not specified in the meeting record.
