Recap of March 12, 2024 Board of Supervisors Meeting

---

March 12 Recap


At its March 12 meeting, the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and unanimously approved corrections to the Land Use Ordinance.  Changes were made in Section 74-262 and 74-268 to bring the dates for administering the land use assessment program into compliance with State law and to simplify determination of the application fee.  The dates provided for administering the land use assessment program in the Virginia Code are for jurisdictions that operate on a calendar year which Prince George County followed until five years ago.  When the County moved from a calendar year to fiscal year the dates for administering the land use assessment program should have been adjusted by six months.  The proposed date changes bring the Prince George County land use program into compliance with State law. 

Other matters that came before the Board at its meeting: 

·         Approved on consent acceptance of Crossings Court utility easements. 

·         Approved on consent acceptance of Chappell Creek Waterline utility easement. 

·         Approved on consent an authority to advertise a public hearing on March 26 for an ordinance regarding 2024 assessments. 

·         Unanimously approved an authorization to purchase garage lifts as part of the garage renovation project ($27,567.30), approval of a budget transfer of $70,787.36 towards the purchase of a bucket truck, and authorization to purchase a used bucket truck at a cost not to exceed $85,000. 

·         Held a discussion and added a joint work session with the Planning Commission to the 2024 Board of Supervisors Meeting Schedule for March 21 at 6:00 p.m.
