Mr. David Beale presented his report on behalf of the Virginia Department of Transportation. The full report can be accessed in board docs. Mr. Beale announced that Mr. Carter White will be retiring effective December 1, 2025 after his 30-year career with VDOT.
Supervisor Long asked if he’s made any progress on what can be done at the entrance of Academic Lane.
Page 3
Mr. Beale stated that he spoke with the traffic engineering section and one idea was a roundabout or a continuous green T intersection; however, the bottom line is whatever is decided, they need to figure out how it’s going to be funded. Mr. Beale explained that he cannot fund this type of project with maintenance dollars and it’s not going to score well in the smart scale, so the only option is revenue sharing which would require a 50% County match.

Action, Information: D. Davenport RFP Update
Mr. Kyle Laux provided an update to the Board on their strategies to support capital funding, borrowing for capital projects, and assisting with rating agency interaction. He reminded the Board that the County issued a revenue anticipation note and borrowed $5M at a fixed rate in
Page 5
order to make it through the lower time periods in terms of cash flow in the County. Since then, Davenport has performed some competitive bidding for long-term financing for capital projects as identified by the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Laux stated that two banks submitted proposals to them, Webster Bank and Capital One Public Funding. Davenport recommended the County move forward with Webster Bank due to the lower fixed interest rates and more efficient prepayment provisions.
Supervisor Williams asked if there is a cost associated with using the EDA with Westmoreland County.
Mr. Laux stated there typically is an administrative fee, but it should be relatively nominal. Vice Chairman Brann asked for Mr. Tadlock’s opinion on this.
Mr. Tadlock stated that some of the financing would cover the new CIP request from the Electoral Board as well as some future needs for the school, gas pumps at the impound lot, and HVAC modifications at the New Courthouse. Additionally, some older projects were paid out of pocket, so staff worked with Davenport to identify capital projects over the last four to five years to try to get those monies back into the General Fund.
Motion to approve the resolution to allow for a plan to finance certain capital improvement projects for governmental purposes through a lease revenue bond financing with the industrial development authority/economic development authority (IDA/EDA) of Westmoreland County, Virginia.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
THE COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND, VIRGINIA:
1. The County Administrator is hereby authorized and directed to request the Authority to assist the County with the plan of lease financing described below (the “2025 Financing”), which the County Board hereby approves. The Authority will issue (a) a federally taxable lease revenue bond in a principal amount not to exceed $2,430,000 (the “2025A Bond”), and (b) a federally tax-exempt lease revenue bond in a principal amount not to exceed $995,000 (the “2025B Bond” and, together with the 2025A Bond, the “Bonds”). The Authority will use the proceeds of the Bonds to (i) finance the costs (including the reimbursement of previously paid costs) of the Project and (ii) pay the related financing and issuance costs. The County will lease the Property to the Authority pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease, with a termination date up to five years longer than the final maturity date of the Bonds, and the Authority will lease the Property back to the County pursuant to the terms of the Lease Agreement, with a termination date contemporaneous with the final maturity date of the Bonds. The County will undertake to make payments to the Authority of basic rent (“Basic Rent”) and additional rent (“Additional Rent”) under the terms of the Lease Agreement in amounts sufficient to pay when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds and to pay the fees and expenses of the Authority. The obligation of the Authority to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds will be limited to the payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent received from the County. The undertaking by the County to make payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be subject to appropriations from time to time by the County Board of sufficient amounts for such purposes. Upon an event of default or an event of non-appropriation by the County Board under the Lease Agreement, the Authority (and the Lender as assignee of the Authority) shall have the right to exercise any remedies provided in the Lease Agreement, including the right to terminate the Lease Agreement and exclude the County from possession of the Property for the remainder of the term of the Prime Lease. The Bonds will be secured in part by an assignment to the Lender of the Authority’s rights to receive payments of Basic Rent. This plan of lease financing shall contain such additional requirements and provisions as the County Administrator, in collaboration with the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Authority, may approve and determine to be in the best interests of the County and the Authority.
2. Subject to the pricing parameters of the Bonds described herein, the County Board hereby authorizes the County Administrator, in collaboration with the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Authority and in consultation with the Financial Advisor, to review the bids received for the loans and related purchase of the Bonds and to select the bid that such officers determine to be in the best interests of the County and the
Page 8
Authority. The banking or other financial institution submitting such winning bid shall be referred to herein as the “Lender”.
3. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the County Board and the County Administrator, any of whom may act, are hereby authorized and directed to execute the Documents, the forms of which submitted to this meeting are hereby approved, with such
completions, omissions, insertions and changes not inconsistent with this Resolution as may be approved by such officer and the County Attorney. Such officer’s execution shall constitute conclusive evidence of their approval of any such completions, omissions, insertions and changes. In making completions to the Lease Agreement, the County Administrator shall provide for payments of Basic Rent on terms equivalent to the Bonds, provided that:
i. the 2025A Bond shall (i) mature in installments ending no later than
December 31, 2046, (ii) be issued in a principal amount not to exceed
$2,430,000, (iii) bear interest at a rate not to exceed 6.03% per year
(subject to adjustment, if any, as required by the terms of the Lender’s
bid and approved by the County Administrator), (iv) be subject to
optional prepayment, if at all, at a prepayment premium not to exceed
2.0% of the principal amount thereof to be prepaid and on such terms as
required by the Lender’s bid and approved by the County Administrator,
and (v) shall be sold to the Lender at a price not less than 100% of the
principal amount thereof; and
ii. the 2025B Bond shall (i) mature in installments ending no later than
December 31, 2046, (ii) be issued in a principal amount not to exceed
$995,000, (iii) bear interest at a rate not to exceed 4.57% per year
(subject to adjustment, if any, as required by the terms of the Lender’s
bid and approved by the County Administrator), (iv) be subject to
optional prepayment, if at all, at a prepayment premium not to exceed
2.0% of the principal amount thereof to be prepaid and on such terms as
required by the Lender’s bid and approved by the County Administrator,
and (v) shall be sold to the Lender at a price not less than 100% of the
principal amount thereof.
Following the sale of the Bonds, the County Administrator shall file a certificate with the records of the County Board setting forth the final terms of the Bonds and the Lease Agreement. The actions of the County Administrator in approving the terms of the Bonds and the Lease Agreement shall be conclusive, and no further action shall be necessary on the part of the County. As set forth in the Lease Agreement, the County undertakes to pay from legally available funds such “late charges” and other charges as described therein.
4. The undertaking by the County to pay any amounts under the Lease Agreement shall be a limited obligation payable solely from funds to be appropriated by the County Board for such purpose. Nothing herein or in the Lease Agreement shall constitute a debt of the County within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or a pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power of the County.
5. The County Board believes that funds sufficient to make payment of all amounts payable under the Lease Agreement can be obtained. While recognizing that it is not
Page 9
empowered to make any binding commitment to make such payments beyond the
current fiscal year, the County Board hereby states its intent to make annual
appropriations for future fiscal years in amounts sufficient to make all such payments and hereby recommends that future County Boards do likewise during the term of the Lease Agreement. The County Board directs the County Administrator or such other officer who may be charged with the responsibility for preparing the County’s annual budget to include in the budget request for each fiscal year during the term of the Lease Agreement an amount sufficient to make the payment of all amounts payable under the Lease Agreement. So long as any of the Bonds is outstanding, if at any time during any fiscal year of the County, the amount appropriated in the County’s annual budget in such fiscal year is insufficient to pay when due the amounts payable under the Lease Agreement, the County Board directs the County Administrator or such other officer who may be charged with the responsibility for preparing the County’s annual budget to submit to the County Board a request for a supplemental appropriation sufficient to cover the deficit.
6. The County covenants that it shall not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which shall cause the 2025B Bond to be an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), and regulations thereunder, or otherwise cause interest on such Bond to be includable in the gross income for federal income tax purposes of the registered owner thereof under existing law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the County shall comply with any provision of law that may require the County at any time to rebate to the United States of America any part of the earnings derived from the investment of the gross proceeds of the 2025B Bond. The County shall pay from its legally available general funds any amount required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to the Code.
7. The County covenants that while the 2025B Bond is outstanding it shall not permit the proceeds of the 2025B Bond or the facilities financed therewith to be used in any manner that would result in (a) 10% or more of such proceeds or facilities being used in a trade or business carried on by any person other than a governmental unit, as provided in Section 141(b) of the Code, provided that no more than 5% of such
proceeds may be used in a trade or business unrelated to the County’s use of such facilities, (b) 5% or more of such proceeds or facilities being used with respect to any “output facility” (other than a facility for the furnishing of water), within the meaning of Section 141(b)(4) of the Code, or (c) 5% or more of such proceeds being used directly or indirectly to make or finance loans to any persons other than a governmental unit, as provided in Section 141(c) of the Code; provided, however, that if the County receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that any such covenants need not be complied with to prevent the interest on the 2025B Bond from being includable in the gross income for federal income tax purposes of the holder thereof under existing law, the County need not comply with such covenants.
8. Such officers of the County as may be requested by bond counsel for the County are authorized and directed to execute an appropriate certificate setting forth (a) the
Page 10
expected use and investment of the proceeds of the 2025B Bond in order to show that such expected use and investment will not violate the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and (b) any elections such officers deem desirable regarding rebate of earnings to the United States for purposes of complying with Section 148 of the Code. Such certificate shall be prepared in consultation with bond counsel for the County, and such elections shall be made after consultation with bond counsel.
9. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the undertaking of the 2025 Financing and the leasing of the Property, including the Authority’s fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of bond counsel and counsel for the Authority, shall be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds or other legally available funds of the County. If for any reason the Bonds are not issued, it is understood that all such expenses shall be paid by the County from its legally available funds and that the Authority shall have no responsibility therefor.
10. Any authorization herein to execute a document shall include authorization to deliver it to the other parties thereto and to record such document where appropriate.
11. All other actions of the officers of the County that are in conformity with the purposes and intent of this Resolution and in furtherance of the undertaking of the 2025 Financing and the leasing of the Property are hereby approved and ratified. The officers of the County are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver all certificates and instruments (including as necessary an assignment agreement and a leasehold deed of trust) and to take all other actions necessary or desirable in connection with the undertaking of the 2025 Financing and the leasing of the Property.
12. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.

Supervisor Fisher asked if the old machines hold any value.
Mr. Austin Schmidt stated they do not.
Information: F. Waste Management Update
Page 11
Vice Chairman Brann asked Mr. Jamison why Waste Management has so much difficulty keeping the sites clean.
Mr. Jamison stated that he believes there is a buzzard issue and they pull out a lot of the trash which takes a while to get it all cleaned up.
Vice Chairman Brann stated that a lot of the area needs to be washed down at Lottsburg. Mr. Jamison asked what it is that he wants washed down.
Vice Chairman Brann stated that the compactor and the cement pad. He believes the County pays for a service and the citizens want good service, but they are very disappointed. Mr. Jamison explained that they’re hiring new attendants right now so that seems to have helped some. He guessed if the Board went to the Lottsburg site right now, it would look very nice. Supervisor Williams asked how they plan to enforce the new decal policy that the County is implementing.
Mr. Jamison stated that would be up to the County.
Supervisor Fisher explained that he, Mr. Tadlock, and Mr. Gregory have spent several hours on this subject and they will discuss that more at a later time. Mr. Fisher said to Mr. Jamison that he would like to see a little more consideration from the attendants when it comes to the elderly people dumping their trash.
County Administrator Tadlock reiterated what Supervisor Fisher mentioned regarding him and the County Attorney’s discussion on enforcement and explained that he will be following up with Mr. Jamison on several things.
Information: G. Update from Northumberland County Schools
Superintendent Leslie provided an update to the Board related to the Thanksgiving lunch that took place at the elementary school and gave a shout out to those in the community who helped make that a success. She also explained that she and Assistant Superintendent Ashton have uncovered a few reimbursements that were maybe neglected to be made in a timely fashion in the amount of $94,012.05. Dr. Leslie stated that this money will be returned to the County if approved by the VDOE which they anticipate it will be. In addition, capital improvement proposals are due Friday so Dr. Leslie stated that they will be submitting a five-year plan for bus
Page 12
replacements, a proposal for the NES playground, as well as a plan to earmark funds each year over the next 9 years for another well replacement when they reach that time in the recurring cycle. To conclude her presentation, Dr. Leslie read a statement to the Board: “We understand that the recent communication from the County Finance Department regarding past spending was received negatively by many of our dedicated teachers and that offense was taken regarding the manner in which the information was delivered. We want to sincerely acknowledge the frustration and anger that caused. The County Finance team has offered to meet with any and all staff during their office hours to address any lingering concerns. Additionally, we as school leadership meet regularly with the County Finance team to collaborate on addressing current and future spending issues to ensure students’ needs are being met. While our priority right now is to work on repairing the relationship and implementing better processes, we must also be prepared for the future. It is likely that further detailed financial information and changes will be communicated in the coming months. We are committed to making these future communications
transparent and collaborative. We are working very hard to get the finance situation fixed and rebuild trust. The School Division and the County Finance department have the same goal. We want to get things fixed. We all need to work together to get the message out that Northumberland County Public Schools is moving forward together.”
County Finance Director Anne Curran presented a PowerPoint presentation related to some good news as well as what’s in progress at the school. Her full presentation can be accessed in board docs.
Dr. Pica, County Finance Facilitator, then provided a financial update to the Board. She stated that the overdue invoices stack is now down to less than 10 invoices as they have worked through the backlog and made over $200,000 in payments this month. Dr. Pica explained that as they’ve been working through this process, they found that some people were getting paid out of the wrong accounts, so they are working to get that corrected so those funds don’t run dry. Additionally, she informed Supervisor Fisher that she simplified the reports so the Board can better understand what she’s providing to them at Board meetings.
Dr. Pica stated that they are finally in a position where they can direct their attention to the revenue, so they are working with County staff to figure out the process on how to return money to the County. Dr. Pica also informed the Board that she’s asked Mr. Kost, Planning Commission member, to take a look at the forensic audit report and identify some objective criteria that can be used to assess the school. In relation to the budget, they will be looking at every account line for the last three years for what’s been budgeted and what’s been actually expended, as well as the details on how those funds were expended. Dr. Pica stated that those documents are going to be made public on the school's website, so everyone in the community will be able to see what the school got, how much they spent, and exactly where the money went. She stated that there’s
Page 13
going to be a lot more transparency and it may or may not sit well depending on the view you have.
Supervisor Fisher asked if citizens will be able to call and ask questions about this information. Dr. Pica stated that she doesn’t know how to answer for the past purchases, but they are certainly open to talking to anyone if they need to make office hours available.
Vice Chairman Brann asked about the slow down on the spending. He gathered from their presentation that the slow down should end in January. Mr. Brann asked if he was correct. Dr. Curran stated they think so. At this point they are feeling more confident that will happen. Vice Chairman Brann asked about the process of determining what is needed and what is not needed.
Dr. Curran stated that they are asking staff to talk with their principal/department head and provide justification for why something is needed. Dr. Pica stated that they are not in the position to say what is and what is not important to them, so the principals make the judgement call on what is prioritized to order.
Vice Chairman Brann asked if the process would speed up now that the backlog of invoices has reduced.
Dr. Pica stated that the process will speed up, but what she doesn’t know is if the money is available for those purchases due to using those funds to pay for the backlog of invoices. That is why they have to analyze every purchase order that comes in.
Vice Chairman Brann asked what would happen if the purchase was part of the curriculum. Dr. Pica stated then they would have to find the money for it.
Vice Chairman Brann then asked what the process is for training the new employees the new way of taking care of business.
Dr. Pica stated that they have been meeting with the finance teams in the school to share with them what’s happening and then meeting with the Division Directors to explain to them what the new process is. She explained that Dr. Curran is writing processes to implement the new policies they have.
Page 14
Action, Information: H. Supplemental Appropriation - School Board
Supervisor Williams asked how these appropriations can be avoided.
Dr. Pica stated that they are in the process of identifying all the contracts the school has in place and creating a calendar for when those should be paid or recompeted, so next year if the school is under quarterly appropriations, a lot of the money will be included in the first quarterly appropriation to cover invoices that are expected to be paid upfront at the beginning of the school year. She explained that this was just a test year and all the budget was simply divided by four for the quarterly appropriations, but that doesn’t work for a lot of the contracts the school has. Additionally, there won’t be any backlog to pay which caused some of the need for the appropriations as well.
County Administrator Tadlock explained to the Board that the request presented to them tonight is not a request for new monies. It is money that the Board has budgeted for, but it has not been appropriated yet.
Motion to approve another portion of the third quarterly appropriation for the School Board in the amount of 70,356.49. The breakdown is as follows:
Line item 30-6000-6200 (Administration & Health) in the amount of $5,404
Line item 30-6000-6100 (Instruction) in the amount of $26,752.49
Line item 30-6000-6400 (Operations & Maintenance) in the amount of $38,200

Dr. Curran, School Board member, stated that he did provide his timeline proposal on a new ERP system to the Board and asked permission to send it to Mr. Kost as he believes this is a part of the forensic audit recommendations, so he believes it’s appropriate for him to look at it as well. Vice Chairman Brann stated that was fine and asked if he thinks the proposal will be finalized for discussion by the December Board meeting.
Dr. Curran stated that the proposal is thorough, so to be realistic he believes the January meeting would be more appropriate so that gives Mr. Kost plenty of time to look over it. Vice Chairman Brann asked that the discussion on the proposal be placed on the January agenda.

Mr. Tadlock informed the Board there is information in their packets that modifies the EMS accrual rate and the carryover amount so that the 24-hour shift employees can accrue and carry over.
Supervisor Williams asked if the Board could hold off on this until December, so they have more time to review the information.
Vice Chairman Brann stated that’s fine, but he’d like to have something in place in January to show the EMS providers that the County is working to make some improvements and to work with them.
Additionally, Mr. Tadlock provided a draft invitation for bid for the mobile classrooms located at the old School Board office in Lottsburg. He explained that the County did have individuals interested in looking at these earlier this year, but we have not heard back from them. Vice Chairman Brann stated that advertising the bid doesn’t interfere if the individual comes back expressing interest in the mobile classrooms, so he’d like to make some progress and go ahead and advertise the bid.
Mr. Tadlock stated that the County typically includes language that the bid decision is up to the Board whether to accept or deny all bids, so that should cover what the Board is looking for.

Supervisor Williams asked how the permitting process is coming along for how the County is going to take care of the icebreaker situation outside at the mouth of the Great Wicomico. Mr. Tadlock informed the Board that staff has been in contact with VMRC for potential permitting options. He explained that they had a gentleman assist with a buoy earlier, so he reached back out to ask additional questions regarding either knocking the rock pile down or putting up permanent markers.
Supervisor Fisher stated that he has been working with Commonwealth Attorney Jane Wrightson, the Sheriff’s Office, and the County Attorney, and he believes that they have found concrete evidence that will allow the County to move forward with hopefully alleviating the dog issue on Pebble Lane that’s been discussed the last few months.
County Attorney Gregory added that one of the most important things is to report situations like these to help law enforcement and the Commonwealth Attorney. He also commented on the public comment made about a dog having to kill three chickens before the County can do anything. Mr. Gregory stated that is not true. He explained while chickens and poultry are not considered pets under the state code, if dogs attack livestock including poultry, chickens, and ducks it should be reported to animal control and the County has the tools to address those problems.

Mr. David Mattera shared information on a “zoning bully” and believes that the County’s zoning compliance needs to be kept as tight as possible or they will not stop.
Ms. Carpenter came to represent the Sherwood Forrest Homeowners Association and shared their concerns regarding the need for dredging the Little Wicomico River. She urged the Board to adopt the resolution that will be presented to them later tonight.
Ms. Sandra Maynard spoke on behalf of the dredging the Little Wicomico Advocacy effort. She explained that the jetty at this entrance is the only navigable connection between the Little Wicomico River and the Chesapeake Bay, supporting daily operations of multiple watermen and businesses, as well as serving as an essential access point for Smith Point Sea Rescue. Ms. Maynard stated that the jetty needs both dredging and repair, so to access Virginia’s waterway maintenance fund and federal community project funding, the County must file a joint permit application, have strong local and regional support, and identify a clear public purpose. She introduced a resolution of support to the Board of Supervisors and urged them to move forward so they can begin this competitive process.
Action, Information: A. Comments
Motion to approve the resolution that supports the urgent dredging and jetty repair for the Little Wicomico River.
NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XX
A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF URGENT DREDGING AND JETTY REPAIR
FOR THE LITTLE WICOMICO RIVER
WHEREAS, the Little Wicomico River is a nine-mile tidal waterway with more than 123 miles of shoreline at the confluence of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay, formally authorized as a federal navigation channel under the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1935; and
Page 21
WHEREAS, the Smith Point entrance channel has not been dredged since 2014, and as of 2025 is severely shoaled, with depths averaging about three feet or less across most of the inlet, leaving it increasingly impassable to recreational, commercial, and emergency vessels; and
WHEREAS, recent storm events have overtopped the south jetty and accelerated sedimentation, underscoring that both dredging and structural jetty repair are urgently required to restore safe navigation and protect the long-term stability of the entrance; and
WHEREAS, this shoaling threatens public safety, hinders local watermen, charter operations, seafood processors, and Smith Point Sea Rescue, and jeopardizes Virginia’s 400-year maritime heritage of Chesapeake Bay access; and
WHEREAS, the Northern Neck Planning District Commission (NNPDC) has identified the Little Wicomico River as a priority project in its Shallow-Draft Dredging Plan, and the Northumberland County Planning Commission has incorporated the project into its Comprehensive Plan to demonstrate community support required for state and federal funding applications;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Northumberland County Board of
Supervisors:
1. Supports and urges that state and federal funding through grants and appropriations be provided for emergency dredging of the Smith Point entrance channel to the
Chesapeake Bay from the Little Wicomico River to restore safe navigation and
emergency-response access.
2. Encourages that comprehensive jetty repair and elevation improvements be reviewed and considered as part of these state and federal funding efforts to ensure the longterm safety and resilience of the entrance channel.
3. Directs County staff to continue coordination with the NNPDC, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and to provide local support as needed — including landowner engagement for dredge-material placement sites,
county approvals, and community outreach — to ensure the project advances in a timely manner. Staff shall provide status updates during regularly scheduled Board meetings to ensure the Board of Supervisors and residents are updated on the
progress.
4. Encourages citizens, watermen, and local businesses to join in advocacy for dredging and jetty restoration, including submission of letters of support to demonstrate broad community backing.
Page 22
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to the Northern Neck Planning District Commission, Virginia Marine Resources Commission, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Baltimore and Norfolk Districts), Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Virginia Department of Transportation, and Virginia’s congressional delegation.

Mrs. Pamela Woolard is a teacher at Northumberland County, and this is the first year she has considered employment somewhere else. She fears that she is not alone. Mrs. Woolard stated that they are the ones suffering for acts and situations that are not their faults, so when financial decisions are being made, she asked that the Board consider the students and the teachers. NES Principal Martha Williams addressed some of the comments made at the October Board meeting. She mentioned that Title One monies is strictly a program that is used at the elementary school and they feel the comments made were disrespectful to all who work very hard to ensure the students have everything they need to learn and grow. She stated that the idea of the school having an incentive program based solely on candy is inaccurate and the supposition that staff should buy incentives out of their pockets is unjustly critical. Ms. Williams stated that the public would be shocked by how much the teachers spend of their own money on the students. She stated that the school is very concerned about ensuring that the Board receives balanced information, so she met with the County finance team as well as Dr. Leslie and they found that they had a breakdown in communication. Ms. Williams appreciated the discussion she had with them and feels they can move forward to understanding the needs of the school and how to continue being fiscally responsible.
Ms. Pamela Hagy shared some suggestions to help reduce the number of calls related to seeking help from Animal Control. She would like to see the County establish an ordinance to include poultry as pets and increase fines that will force residents to take it seriously when their dog enters private property and kills a pet. Ms. Hagy is under the impression that under current law, it takes a great deal of time to remove the offending animal, and it has to be proved that it has been killed poultry three times before the County can take action.
Mr. Johnathan Harris thanked the County for re-opening access to the Tri-County land, but believes the new requirements create a challenge for independent hunters.
Page 23
Mr. Joseph Newsome stated that the County should have great interest in opening the right-of-way to the Tri-County property. He also asked what the process is for the land being out for bid because it’s been farmed by the same entity for over 30 years.
Vice Chairman Brann stated that putting the land out for bid is being considered this coming year and the County Attorney is in the process of getting that right-of-way issue cleared up. **The Board of Supervisors voted to postpone the closed meeting session until the end of the meeting. See Section 9. Public Hearings 7:00P.M.
