Board permits remote participation; affirms local emergency resolution
Summary
Albemarle County supervisors permitted Supervisor Jim Andrews to join remotely and unanimously approved a resolution confirming a local emergency; the vote was recorded by roll call. The action clears immediate administrative authorities and keeps entitlement for response funding intact.
Albemarle County supervisors voted to allow Supervisor Jim Andrews to participate remotely under the board—s rules and then approved a resolution confirming a local emergency that had been circulated in the meeting packet.
"This is, I'm in, Maine and personal business in, Surrytone," Supervisor Jim Andrews said when asked to state his reason for remote participation. The board then moved and seconded the admission and held a roll call vote on the emergency-resolution item. Clerk-led roll call recorded affirmative responses from the supervisors present; staff described the resolution as formal confirmation of ongoing emergency declarations and a housekeeping step to preserve eligibility for related state or federal support if required.
The motion to approve the resolution was introduced by a supervisor identified in the meeting as Anne and seconded by Pete; the board recorded all affirmative votes from members present. The Board and EDA then proceeded to introductions and the substantive agenda items, including the Rivanna (Ravenna) Futures site-readiness presentation.
