Smyth County adopts full budget and monthly appropriations; moves to closed session
Summary
The board approved the full county budget and monthly appropriations (covering July operations) by unanimous votes and then moved toward a closed session to discuss business recruitment and industrial prospects.
After completing individual items, the board moved to adopt the county's full budget as presented and approved it on a recorded 7–0 vote. The chair noted the county may amend the budget when the state passes its budget and staff will prepare any necessary revisions in July.
The board also approved monthly appropriations to carry county operations through the end of July, totaling roughly $13,000,004.35, and recorded a unanimous vote. Immediately following appropriations, a commissioner moved to enter closed session under the cited statutory authority to discuss business and industrial prospects; the motion to begin the closed session was made before the meeting adjourned to the closed portion of the agenda.
"We got a 7 0 on the county budget for the current time," the chair said after the vote. Staff told the board they will return with a revised budget in August if state action requires changes.
