Gloucester County Board of Supervisors Meeting, 8/4/2026

The Gloucester County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on August 4, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement topics included the upcoming selection process for a forensic audit via an RFP, with a committee to be formed for vendor evaluation. The board reviewed financing options for over $8 million in capital improvement projects related to water and sewer utilities, considering bank loans versus Virginia Resources Authority (VRA) revenue bonds, with a public hearing scheduled for September 1 to discuss bond issuance. The board approved resolutions to authorize the public hearing and to allow reimbursement for capital expenditures from future debt proceeds. Additionally, the board approved carryover appropriations for various funds including utilities and capital projects, and approved additional appropriations for Gloucester County Public Schools to cover a state-approved compensation increase. A request from the Riverwatch Homeowners Association to allow utility vehicle use on certain roads was discussed, with plans to consult other subdivisions before amending local ordinances. The board also considered applying for a FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance grant focused on repetitive loss properties. Finally, the board accepted co-ownership interest in property for a new fire station and made several board appointments. No votes were taken on the forensic audit RFP vendor selection, but the process was outlined for future action.
