Scott County, VA Board of Supervisors Meeting - January, 2025

The Scott County, VA Board of Supervisors held a meeting on January 9, 2026, addressing various community and administrative issues. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of appropriations totaling $19,165 to the volunteer fire department for state fire program monies and acceptance of two Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services grants totaling over $828,000 to fund school resource officer positions. The board also approved the purchase of a new vehicle for the regional jail at an estimated cost of $43,000, funded from the jail's remaining budget. Additionally, the board agreed to appropriate $5,800 from the board contingency fund to the Scott County Ministers Association to purchase a dump trailer to support their firewood ministry aiding local families. Discussions also covered solid waste management challenges, including illegal trash dumping by out-of-county residents and potential improvements such as manned compactor sites, though no immediate procurement actions were taken on these. The board voted to maintain the current equal split formula for regional gaming tax revenues, rejecting a proposed change that would have reduced Scott County's share. Several appointments to local boards and commissions were confirmed, and the board entered a closed session to discuss legal matters involving county employees, subsequently certifying the session's compliance with Virginia law.
