# BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WORK SESSION

Pittsylvania County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors work session, October 21, 2026. The Sheriff’s Department presented a proposal to equip patrol vehicles with newer mobile technology through T-Mobile. The reported total was $59,812.64, including $27,000 for installation; the department cited a four-year savings of $47,040 compared with its current provider, and noted that $11,760 was due to the current provider. Supervisors did not approve the purchase during the session and referred it to the Finance Committee for review of funding, need, and alternatives. The T-Mobile quote was said to be valid through the end of the month. The Sheriff also requested $18,800 to repair an older classroom building at the firing range; supervisors asked for additional cost and budget information before considering the request.

Emergency-management staff discussed applying for a state grant for a 150-kW standby generator at the community center. The estimated project cost was $227,000, with a 31% local match—about $71,000—needed in the next budget year. The board expressed support for pursuing the application, though no formal vote is evident in the transcript; the grant allows one application per year, with awards expected in February 2027. Staff also reviewed the upcoming FY 2027–28 budget calendar, including departmental and capital requests and a January capital improvements plan review. Supervisors emphasized budget discipline and planning for a potential new courthouse in four to five years. No contract award or completed procurement approval was recorded.
