Nelson County supervisors approved the meeting’s consent agenda and took several routine votes before moving into presentations and discussion.
Key board actions:
- Consent agenda: Supervisor Parr moved to approve the consent agenda as presented; the motion passed on roll call with recorded affirmative votes from supervisors in attendance.
- TJPDC legislative program: The board voted to approve the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission’s 2026 legislative program (the packet item noted as 2025‑78), endorsing priorities that include public education funding, budgets and funding for locally delivered state programs, and land‑use and growth management positions. The motion passed on roll call.
- Library appointment: The board voted to appoint Deborah Terrell to the South District Nelson County Library Committee.
Other board directions and items of note:
- Piney River rates: Rather than adopting the advertised ordinance O2025‑O9, the board directed staff to prepare a revised ordinance that reflects smaller, predictable increases (working consensus: staff to present options around 5–7 percent annual increases with a July 1 effective date) and to return the ordinance in December.
- Commonwealth Attorney request: Staff circulated a request from the Commonwealth Attorney for an ADA‑compliant, secure door and quoted previous estimates of roughly $22,000 to install an automated ADA door, card reader access, two‑way video and program the door into the county’s monitoring system; the board gave staff consensus to proceed with next steps.
What’s next: Staff will bring the revised Piney River ordinance in December, proceed with procurement steps for the door upgrade as appropriate, and continue routine department reporting to the board.
