The Appomattox County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on May 19, 2025, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included approval of a consulting contract for an interim director of the Department of Social Services not to exceed $15,000, with commendation for spending only a third of the authorized amount. The board also authorized staff to proceed with the purchase of two parcels of land adjacent to the sheriff's office for up to $695,000 to allow for future county facility expansion. Additionally, the board approved a $5,000 new hire supplement for certified law enforcement officers to aid recruitment and retention, which would require an increase in the sheriff's budget. Other budget items discussed included salary supplements for county clerk staff and appropriations for employee benefits. The board also approved a zoning amendment for an industrial district and various consent agenda items such as refunds and fund transfers. A strategic work session was proposed to prioritize capital improvement projects and expenditures. No new contracting vehicles or RFPs were mentioned, but several policy and budget decisions were made that could impact future procurement activities.
