Board approves multiple grant appropriations, including tower repair and fire services funding
Summary
Supervisors approved appropriations for insurance proceeds and several grants: Randolph communications tower repair (insurance funds), PSAP education and GIS grants for e911, a Department of Forestry equipment grant for volunteer fire stations ($4,833.27), and a Virginia Fire Services Board mini‑grant ($10,716).
County staff told the board the county received insurance proceeds for repair of the Randolph communications tower and recommended appropriation of the funds. The packet listed $22,811 for the insurance proceeds; the motion recorded in the meeting later stated $22,008.11 — the transcript shows both figures and the discrepancy was not resolved during the meeting.
Staff also reported two e911‑related grants: an FY26 PSAP education program award ($4,000) and a FY26 GIS/data program award ($5,000), with $2,273.23 requested for appropriation for funds received to date. The Department of Forestry 50/50 grant awarded $4,833.27 to purchase chainsaws and backpack equipment for volunteer fire stations. The Virginia Fire Services Board approved a mini‑grant of $10,716 to purchase particulate‑blocking hoods for volunteer departments. The board moved and approved appropriations for these awards.
