04-21-2025 Meeting | Appomattox Board of Supervisors

The Appomattox County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on April 21, 2025, focusing on several budgetary and procurement matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a $29,238 increase to the library budget for two position changes, and a $5,000 allocation to the Southside Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. The board also reviewed and set priorities for the county's six-year secondary road plan, approving projects on Mari Place, Snaps Mill, and Belleview Road. Additionally, the board authorized acceptance of a $14,000 Virginia Department of Fire Programs PPE grant for the volunteer fire department and discussed the purchase and funding challenges related to a new ladder truck, including a request to forgive part of a loan in exchange for donating the old truck to a neighboring fire department. The sheriff's department received approval for matching funds up to $17,165.75 for a grant to update mobile data terminals and office computers. The board also approved a resolution to add two streets to the secondary road system and authorized a consulting contract for interim director services at the Department of Social Services. Finally, the board scheduled a public hearing for a conditional rezoning request and discussed the official newspaper for public notices, ultimately selecting the Farmville Herald despite concerns about coverage. Several other administrative updates and appointments were addressed, with no additional procurement actions noted.
