March 30, 2026 Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors Meeting

The Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on March 30, 2026, primarily to address a vacancy in the office of supervisor for the Walker's Creek Magisterial District due to a failure to timely take the oath of office. The board authorized the county attorney to petition the circuit court for a writ of special election and requested the court to appoint an interim supervisor, as the board's statutory 45-day window to appoint had expired. Additionally, the board discussed the impact of this vacancy on a recent vote regarding the issuance of bonds for a recreation center project. It was determined that no valid motion or vote had been made on the bond issuance at the prior meeting, necessitating action by the board. A motion to proceed with the Virginia Public School Authority (VPSA) spring bond sale to finance the project was made but resulted in a tie vote, failing to move forward. The board acknowledged that the project remains a priority and that alternative financing options would be explored. The meeting concluded with no further items and adjournment.
