King George BOS and BOD 07/21/2026

The King George County Board of Supervisors and Board of Directors held a meeting on July 21, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included approval of a no-cost change order funded by contingency funds for the Hopyard wastewater treatment plant upgrade and Perkins Corner decommissioning project, with a motion passed to authorize the general manager to approve such change orders in the future. The boards also discussed capital improvement projects, including the condition and future of the Quanset Hut facility and related school board properties, with plans to re-evaluate and prioritize projects in the capital improvement program. Additionally, the boards considered repealing the 3% seller's discount on meals tax, hearing public comments from local restaurant owners concerned about the financial impact; the vote on this matter was deferred to a future meeting to allow further public input. The boards approved participation in a class action settlement related to PFAS contamination at no cost to the county. Public engagement improvements were highlighted, including enhanced online access to meeting materials and project maps. A motion was passed to reconsider a prior vote supporting the Dogger Heritage Trail, with plans for further discussion to address adjacent landowner concerns. The meeting also included updates on emergency preparedness and infrastructure projects, and the scheduling of future meetings was adjusted to avoid conflicts with elections.
