Board makes multiple appointments and forms firearms safety advisory committee
Summary
The board reappointed David Blaha to the Water Authority, filled planning commission seats (Mike Taylor, Anthony Simmons, Larry Veil) and adopted a resolution creating a Firearms Safety Advisory Committee to study backstops and shooting at night, appointing named citizens and officials to the panel.
The Dinwiddie County Board of Supervisors handled a slate of appointments on Jan. 20. Supervisors reappointed David Blaha to the Dinwiddie County Water Authority and filled planning commission vacancies, including appointing Mike Taylor to an unexpired term and naming Anthony Simmons and Larry Veil to terms.
Staff also presented a resolution to create a Dinwiddie Firearms Safety Advisory Committee charged with studying backstops and night‑time shooting and making recommendations to the board. The proposed committee membership included Daniel D. Lee as chairman, Sheriff Donald Adams (or designee), Commonwealth's Attorney Amanda Mann (or designee), and multiple citizen representatives drawn by district. A board member moved to adopt the committee and appointments; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call.
The board noted the committee's charge and that staff could set a timeline for a report back; staff said a similar previous committee produced a report within two to four months. The board did not set a firm expiration date in the adopted resolution; staff said the board could set one if desired.
