October 13, 2026 New Kent County Board of Supervisors Business Meeting

The October 13, 2026 New Kent County Board of Supervisors business meeting approved several procurement and spending items. The Board approved a $19,102 budget transfer from contingency for the first-year purchase and implementation of AudioEye website accessibility software through CivicPlus; the stated annual subscription after year one is $15,000. It also authorized a $12,160 work authorization with the Timmins Group for master planning county-owned land next to George W. Watkins Elementary School, including wetlands delineation, and approved a one-year extension of the Towers LLC option for a communications tower on county property, for a $2,500 payment. The consent agenda, including a change order for the completed Colonies water-system project, was approved; the change order covered bypass piping, weekly checks of the temporary pumping system, and contractor assistance, but no amount was stated in the transcript.

VDOT reported planned drainage work on Carter Road and Route 60, safety changes in the I-64 work zone, and an anticipated November 2026 advertisement for a permanent Kentland Trail roundabout project; these were updates rather than Board procurement awards. The Board discussed a proposed 2027 legislative agenda, including requests concerning school-construction funding, groundwater alternatives, road-maintenance funding, and other state-local issues, with no action taken. Other discussion included public comments about data centers and flooding, and the county’s proposed master-planning process for property near Watkins Elementary. The meeting transcript identifies no other procurement decisions.
