Board appoints Kenneth Bell as interim supervisor for Dendron/Linden district
Summary
The Surry County Board appointed Kenneth Bell as interim supervisor for the Dendron/Linden district until a special election on Nov. 4; the board noted the appointment is required under Virginia code and congratulated both applicants.
The Board of Supervisors voted to appoint Kenneth Bell as interim supervisor for the Dendron/Linden district following a motion, second and voice vote. County staff summarized that Supervisor Drury resigned on July 4 and the Circuit Court set a special election for Nov. 4; Virginia code allows the board to appoint an interim supervisor until the election and qualification of the newly elected official.
Miss Perkins (on the phone) explained the statutory timeline and that two applicants — Kenneth Bell and Cameron Drew — had applied after the board solicited candidates at a prior special meeting. A motion to appoint Bell passed by voice vote; the chair congratulated Bell and thanked both applicants. The board noted Mr. Bell may need to be sworn in by the circuit court clerk before taking the seat.
