The King George County Board of Supervisors and Board of Directors held a joint meeting on March 17, 2026, addressing a variety of topics including property tax assessments, capital improvement projects (CIP), and public service updates. Significant procurement-related discussions included the approval of a proposal for an $85,000 rate study by Stantec to evaluate and guide the King George Service Authority's water and sewer rate structure, funded from existing service authority funds. The board also authorized the reallocation of approximately $1.19 million in leftover CIP funds from completed projects to support upcoming capital projects, including school bus replacements, ambulance replacements, and facility upgrades. Additionally, the board approved acceptance of a 100% reimbursable Virginia Department of Fire grant for a gear washer extractor unit at the Fairview Beach fire station. The school board requested reappropriation of nearly $1.9 million from its FY25 fund balance to FY26 for various needs including curriculum updates, security camera upgrades, and vocational program support, which the board approved. The board also discussed the upcoming workforce housing infrastructure grant application, with plans to further explore administrative responsibilities and funding. Finally, the board adopted updates to the Tourism Advisory Committee charter and approved a health care plan renewal with a shared premium increase between the county and employees. Several policy and budgetary issues were also discussed, including opposition to state-mandated collective bargaining legislation and population growth data relevant to future planning.
