Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors

The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors meeting was held October 21, 2026 (the metadata timestamp is October 22 UTC). The board approved a $116,153.75 sheriff’s office fencing installation agreement with KNC Shelf Corporation, doing business as Entry Guard Systems, and approved transferring $40,000 from the sheriff’s vehicle CIP to the fencing CIP to cover the cost above the original allocation. For the historic courthouse restoration, a motion was made to appropriate $400,000 from the capital maintenance reserve; the transcript does not capture the vote result. The board also approved a Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services grant application for up to $400,000 for a family and domestic violence prevention and response project, authorizing acceptance subject to final award terms and required matching funds. The county match could be up to $100,000, with potential in-kind contributions and other funding sources to be explored.

Motorola presented a proposed public-safety radio system upgrade and platform migration, comparing a locked-in approach of about $3.7 million with an estimated $4.4 million if deferred until 2030. The discussion focused on operational versus capital funding and future budget impacts; no award or commitment was recorded, and a resident questioned whether alternative vendors and pricing had been adequately evaluated. The board also approved a resolution requesting a VDOT safety and traffic study at Route 15 and Troy Road, using VDOT-allocated funds, with no study cost specified. Public comment raised questions about an organizational efficiency study reportedly costing $58,000, plus $255,000 for implementation; no related procurement action was taken during the open meeting. The board discussed potential changes to sign rules for businesses affected by road construction and scheduled a public hearing, but did not adopt an ordinance change.
