Board approves consent items, appropriations and reappointments including $191,056 Fire/EMS revenue transfer to Blacksburg
Summary
Montgomery County supervisors approved the consent agenda (including reappointing Supervisor Biggs to the regional airport authority), several FY27 budget reconciliations, and a $191,056 transfer of Fire/EMS revenue recovery funds to the Town of Blacksburg; most measures passed unanimously by roll call.
The Board of Supervisors approved a range of routine and fiscal items at its July 27 meeting.
On the consent agenda the board reappointed Supervisor Biggs to the Virginia Tech–Montgomery Regional Airport Authority and approved standard consent items on a recorded 7–0 roll call. The board then approved three FY27 budget-reconciliation appropriations—electoral board and director of elections, the Compensation Board reconciliation, and the regional library fiscal-year reconciliation (including the Floyd library appropriation)—all described by staff as housekeeping reconciliations to align the county budget with state-approved figures.
Separately, the board appropriated a $191,056 soft-billing revenue recovery payment to the Town of Blacksburg (the fourth quarter of FY26 collections); staff explained the county serves as fiscal agent and will forward the funds to the town. Supervisors who spoke in favor framed the revenue-recovery program as appropriate and noted it reduces burden on towns.
Votes on these items were recorded by roll call in the transcript and carried with the tallies indicated at each vote.
