Amelia County board adopts FY26 budget and six‑year plan, hears fee‑increase public hearings
Summary
Supervisors opened public hearings on FY26 land‑use/zoning and utility fee changes, discussed building‑fee resolution, and adopted the FY26 budget and the six‑year plan; a proposal to lower the personal property tax by 10¢ was moved but the record shows the budget resolution was adopted.
The board opened and heard properly advertised public hearings on FY26 land‑use and zoning fee increases and on proposed FY26 utility fee adjustments; staff explained fee increases were based on prior workshop discussions and the board discussed balancing fee levels with growth and competitiveness.
On building fees, staff presented a resolution and the chair called for adoption of the budget. A supervisor proposed an amendment to lower the personal property tax by 10¢; the chair proceeded to call for the motion to adopt the FY26 budget resolution. The chair announced the motion carried and the board later adopted a secondary six‑year plan.
Supervisors also asked for more frequent CIP updates and for clarity on which event permits were being approved administratively versus those routed to the board. Staff agreed to provide clearer reporting and to return with required information on land transfers connected to the planned animal shelter site.
The board adjourned after completing the agenda; the meeting length on the record was about 1 hour 5 minutes.
