A Very Long Night

The Board of Supervisors Work Session of August 7, 2007. Here’s what happened.

These are my notes, the notes of one citizen who attended. They are not minutes of the meeting. I post them here, because if you wait for the official minutes to come out, it will be October, and then if there were anything discussed that you wanted to take action about, it will be too late. If anyone was there and had a different take on what happened, just hit the Comments button and add your two cents.

This meeting started at 5:30, and when I left at 9:45, it was still going strong. I missed the part about the landfill monthly update, the emergency management services at the end, and I missed Mark Belton’s update on the Capital Improvement Projects. On top of that, there was a closed session at the end, so the Supervisors themselves must have been there very late.

Topics covered before I gave up and went home were:
- The Airport
- VDOT’s rules for business entrances
- Prorating the real estate tax
- Resource officers in the schools
- School Construction and Funds
- By-right subdivisions

I’m going to post each of these as a separate Blog topic, so the comments don’t get confused between topics. Select a topic from the list at the left. Push the Comments button to continue the conversation. These topics will be filed under the label “The County’s Business” for future reference.
