B
B
B
Of
the
agenda,
robert.
B
B
Next,
we
have
the
citizen
comment
period.
I
will
remind
the
audience.
You
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
I
don't
have
anyone
signed
up.
Is
there
anyone
wishing
to
speak
or
in
the
citizen
comment
period.
B
A
Yes,
we
have
three
consent
agenda
items.
All
three
are
related
to
grants
that
are
involving
the
sheriff's
office
item.
A
is
a
resolution
accepting
and
appropriating
the
fy
2223
state,
internet
crimes
against
children,
program
award
or
otherwise
known
as
icac
item
b.
Is
a
resolution
accepting
and
appropriating
the
virginia
sexual
and
domestic
violence
victim
fund
and
then
item
c?
Is
a
resolution
accepting
and
appropriating
the
fy
2223
dcjs
grant
for
the
southern
virginia
internet
crimes
against
children
program.
B
D
B
We
can
vote
on
these
separately
or
at
the
same
time
I
understand
there
was
at
least
one
change
that
was
previously
submitted
any
other,
and
that
was
for
the
june
13th
minutes
that
changed
the.
C
B
C
C
B
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
oppose
motion
carried
unanimously.
Next,
we
have
public
hearings
and
presentations.
This
is
a
consideration
of
an
ordinance
approving
the
vacation
of
key
largo
boulevard
in
sunset,
k,
subdivision,
section
1..
This
is
ordinance
008,
2222-04
staff,
presentation
by
county
attorney,
patrick
skelly,.
F
F
Okay,
but
in
the
event,
they
have
also
tendered
their
payment
for
the
requisite
fees.
So
with
all
that
being
said,
they
are
in
a
position
to
ask
for
that
vacation
of
the
plat
simply
to
change
the
name
of
the
street.
Nothing
else.
B
Okay,
well,
this
is
any
questions
for
staff.
First,
all
right!
Well,
this
is
a
public
hearing.
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
this
matter
on
the
vacation
of
well,
it's
actually.
B
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
this
all
right,
seeing
none
I'll
close
the
public
hearing
since
nothing
came
up
for
discussion,
no
rebuttal,
mr
chair,
all
right,
then
I'll
open
it
up
to
the
board
for
discussion
and
possible
action.
G
This
is
out
in
district
two.
This
is
a
defunct
subdivision
that
this
is
the
last
remaining
road
that.
A
G
B
Second
from
mr
johnson:
yes,.
F
B
I
I
As
stated
in
detail
in
the
agenda
item
summary,
this
project
area,
which
is
in
the
northern
part
of
the
county
we
all
often
refer
to
as
being
in
the
sci-facts
in
charlemont
areas,
was
deliberately
omitted
from
our
previous
successful
grant
application
with
shintel,
and
we
did
so
because
shintel
had
received
a
federal
art
off
award
art
off
is
a
rural
digital
opportunity
fund
award.
I
However,
as
a
result
of
the
recent
change
in
the
definition
of
broadband,
this
this
project
area
is
now
eligible
for
vatti
grant
funds,
and
this
is
a
good
thing
and
and
I'd
like
to
explain
why,
under
the
existing
art
off
plan,
shentel
has
up
to
six
years
to
build
out
this
area.
I
I
I
So
if
we
are
unsuccessful
in
being
awarded
funds
in
the
early
round
next
year,
we
can
try
again
in
late
2023,
shentel
and
county
staff,
while
always
careful
not
to
presume
success.
Do
like
our
chances,
because
this
is
a
good
project
connecting
almost
550
county
residents
with
broadband
and
in
an
accelerated
time
frame.
We
think
is
a
compelling
message.
So
again,
as
stated
in
the
agenda
item
and
staff's
resolution,
we
respectfully
request
your
concurrence,
so
the
county
and
shintel
can
submit
this
grant
application.
I
C
C
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
resolution
r08222-15.
C
B
There's
a
motion
for
mr
scott,
a
second
for
mr
tuck.
It's
gonna
be
a
roll
call
vote,
mr
scott.
Yes,
mr
tuck,
yes,
mr
davis,
yes,
mrs
parker.
E
B
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
As
you
mentioned,
this
is
for
the
approval
of
the
the
acceptance
of
the
proposal
for
the
halcyon
planning
and
design
for
our
park
master
plan.
This
was
something
that
the
board
saw
fit
to
identify
as
a
strategic
priority.
Last
year,
the
four
proposals
were
received
by
different
planning
firms.
These
were
vetted
and
brought
through
the
recreation
advisory
board,
as
well
as
staff,
the
positive
things
with
halcyon
we're
really
excited
with
their
their
approach
to
creating
a
steering
committee
to
really
get
the
the
community
input
involved
in
this
project.
D
They
also
have
extensive
experience
in
recreation
and
park
plans
in
roanoke
and
other
areas,
they're
also
local
out
of
salem,
which
was
a
big
selling
point
for
us,
an
estimated
eight
month,
completion
depending
on
the
scope
of
the
of
the
the
project
and
comes
in
under
bid
under
under
budget.
Seventy
five
thousand
dollars
was
budgeted,
and
this
project
comes
in
at
sixty.
One
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
B
B
B
B
A
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
This
item
has
was
brought
to
my
attention
by
the
school
administrative
staff
and
by
town
administrative
staff.
The
town
requested
that
the
school
consider
entering
into
agreement
to
sell
part
of
the
to
part
of
a
leased
piece
of
property,
that's
known
as
the
edmond
street
park.
Town
of
bedford,
has
been
leasing.
A
portion
of
this
since
night
well
been
leasing
this
park
or
this
land
since
1974.
A
A
So
it
just
comes
to
the
point
where,
as
a
town
wants
to
invest
more
into
that
piece
of
property,
it
just
makes
more
sense
for
them
to
own
it,
so
they
can
maintain
their
level
of
investment
without
having
to
be
in
a
release
agreement.
So
this
this
comes
through
the
board
of
supervisors.
The
virginia
code
requires
that
the
school
board
gain
approval
or
obtain
consent
from
the
local
governing
body
for
any
sale
of
real
property.
A
So
anyways,
the
school
board
did
hold
a
public
hearing
on
june
28th
and
receives
no
citizen
comments
for
or
against
this
transfer
of
property
and
after
the
board
of
supervisors
decision,
the
school
board
would
would
then
consider
the
actual
sale
of
this
property
to
the
to
the
town
of
bedford
as
an
action
item
for
them.
A
It's
I
I
it's
just
a
community
park
on
edmond
street.
Just
a
couple
blocks
from
here
has
basketball
courts
a
pavilion,
a
couple
other
little
small
playground
area
and
they,
like,
I
said,
they've,
it's
just
kind
of
come
to
the
point
where
they
just
like
to
rather
own
that
part,
so
they
can
make
investments
into
it
without
having
to
have
that
lease
umbrella
over
top
of
them.
E
E
A
K
A
J
C
J
E
E
C
G
G
J
Any
I
have
a
comment
all
right.
I
really
find
it
ironic
that
the
government
provides
grant
money
to
our
county
sheriff,
for
you
know
protecting
our
children
against
internet
crimes.
J
He
told
dr
dobson
that
he
was
introduced
to
this
stuff
by
some
pornography.
He
picked
up
out
of
a
dumpster
or
a
trash.
Can
I
can't
remember
the
details,
because
it's
been
over
20
years
since
I
heard
dr
dobson
sharing
this,
but
how
is
it
that,
on
the
one
hand,
we're
going
after
predators
online
when,
in
our
schools
we
have
teachers
who
are
asking
children
12
year
olds
and
that's
validated
by
someone
who,
who
maybe
all
of
you
all,
are
aware
of
now
in
seventh
grade
math?
What
what
does
a
math
teacher?
J
What
business
do
they
have
doing
anything
but
teaching
our
children
math?
Our
teachers
are
supposed
to
be
those
who
we
can
rely
on
and
trust.
You
should
be
able
to
trust
your
child
in
a
in
a
room
by
himself
with
your
teacher
and
for
this
teacher
to
being
asked
to
ask
this
young
boy.
If
he's
a
boy
or
a
girl
or
gender
neutral,
where
does
it
end?
J
Are
they
going
to
be
asking
these
kids
to
disrobe
and
and
what
again
these
we're
paying
our
tax
dollars
for
education
and
and
who
is,
how
is
this
being
permitted
in
our
schools?
Do
we
have
school
board
representatives
or
superintendents
or
superintendent
wannabes
that
are
promoting
this
lasciviousness?
J
It
just
blows
my
mind.
I
I
don't
know
what
I
would
do
if
one
of
my
children
at
such
an
age
was
approached
by
a
school
teacher,
but
I
will
tell
you
what
I
would
have
done
well,
I
won't
tell
you,
but
anyway
it
wouldn't
be
very
pretty
when
it
was
all
over
with
and
and
if
somebody's
got
to
stop
this
nonsense
or
we're
grooming
children
to
become
adults
who
will
be
perverts,
and
god
knows
what
else.
B
All
right
all
right,
I
can't
say
I
disagree
next
next,
we
have
a
appointment
to
point
out
appointment
of
a
county
representative
to
the
blue
ridge,
regional
jail
authority.
G
B
E
B
Is
this
a
second
for
mr
scott
roll
call
vote,
mr
tuck.
G
B
G
E
B
Johnson,
yes,
mrs
bainsley,
yes,
mr
scott,
yes
and
chair
votes,
yes,
county
administrator
report.
A
Just
a
couple
items
last
year
and
a
couple
board
members
and
bring
this
up
every
now
and
then
I
know
we
try
to
incorporate
this
into
some
of
our
agenda
reports,
but
the
board
adopted
a
strategic
plan
over
the
next
three
for
the
next.
For
three
years:
22
23
and
24..
A
I've
been
working
with
staff
in
order
to
get
an
update
on
that
plan.
We'll
have
a
due
date
of
an
update
and
stat
of
some
different
items
in
that
plan,
due
at
the
end
of
september,
I'll
turn
that
around
into
a
report
and
then
I'll
you
know
provide
that
to
the
board
to
see
kind
of
where
we
are
on
different
things.
A
You
know
there
are
some
items
in
the
strategic
plan
that
we're
already
we're
already
working
on,
and
you
know
those
will
provide
some
context
to
that.
There
are
some
items,
that'll
be
new,
that
we've
just
started
to
work
on
and,
of
course,
there's
a
few
items
that
you
know
may
not
start
till
next
year
and
those
will
be
noted
as
well,
but
anyways
I'll
be
providing
a
report
after
I
get
those
updates
at
the
end
of
september.
A
A
second
thing
is
we
had
a
wonderful
groundbreaking,
I
think,
or
not
groundbreaking,
but
a
project
launch
ceremony
for
the
zeitel
fatty
grant,
project
area
and
hopefully,
we'll
have
hopefully
have
some
more
with
our
other
isp
partners.
That
does
bring
up
an
interesting
situation
where
we
have
these
thousands
of
passings
that
are
homes
or
structures
that
are
going
to
be
passed
with
this
fiber
over
the
next.
You
know
18
to
36
months,
and
we
need
a
methodology
in
order
to
help
communicate
information
to
the
public
as
to
how
to
understand.
A
What's
going
on
with
all
this,
because
there's
this,
you
know
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
miles
of
fiber,
so
john
putney
and
shelly
basinger
and
our
gis
office
and
others
have
been
working
on
up
first
of
all,
updating
our
broadband
web
page.
So,
even
though
it's
on
the
old
platform
right
now,
miss
baystinger
has
been
working
hard
in
order
to
actually
just
update
that
web
page.
A
So
it's
more
current
and
shows
information,
there's
going
to
be
there's
a
map
on
there
or
that
somebody
could
put
in
their
address
and
see
generally
where
which,
which
isp
area
that
they're
going
to
be
fitting
into.
A
A
A
So
if
you,
if
you
put
in
that
you're,
if
you
put
in
your
address-
and
it
comes
up
that
you're
in
the
the
jordantown
road
area,
which
is
where
we
were
the
other
day-
then
that'll
show
that
you're
in
the
zytel
footprint
and
we
would
urge
citizens
and
then
contact
xytel
to
find
out.
You
know,
what's
the
status,
how
do
I
sign
up?
You
know?
A
A
Well,
well,
number
one
there's
two
ways:
number
one
I
mean
if
you
wanted
to,
you
can
go
on
our
website
and
you
may
know
intuitively
where
some
of
these
may
be,
but
you
may
want
to
go
on
our
broadband
website
and
put
in
the
address
yourself
and
then
tell
the
person
why
you
have
them
on
the
phone
or
you
can
tell
them
to
go
to
the
broadband
website
and
do
it
themselves
is.
A
A
F
A
A
I
know
I
know
we
talked
about
this
this
morning
at
one
of
my
staff
meetings,
and
I
know
shelley
is
working
on
a
script
for
some
of
our
office,
our
front
office
staff.
So
once
we
get
that
script
kind
of
written
up
I'll
be
happy
to
share
it
with
with
you
with
you
as
well,
so
we're
all
sending
off
the
same
sheet
of
music,
because
you
know
people
call
all
sorts
of
different
offices
in
the
county.
A
Saying
hey
what
about
broadband,
and
you
know
anyways,
we'll
just
have
a
script
in
different
offices,
so
our
front
desk
staff
can
all
kind
of
be
singing
off
the
same
sheet
of
music
and
we'll
send
that
to
you
guys
too.
I
think
that'd
be
good,
so
so
anyway,
more
to
come
around
that
we're
just
trying
to
try
to
it's.
Just
eventually,
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
questions
about
that
and
we're
trying
our
best
to
get
ahead
of
it.
A
The
best
we
can
so
anyways
just
want
to
give
a
little
bit
insight
as
to
what
our
plans
are
with
that,
and
a
final
thing
is:
we've
made
some
progress
on
the
deputy
county
administrator
position.
We've
finished
our
first
round
of
interviews
and
we've
identified
some
finalists
and
I'll
be
contacting
the
personnel
committee
soon
in
order
to
set
up
interviews
with
that
for
that
position.
So
that's
all
I
had
mr
chair
thank.
F
Just
briefly,
mr
chair
just
want
to
inform
the
board
that
we
got
our
first
payment
under
the
national
opioid
settlement
litigation.
It
was
a
roughly
31
thousand
dollars,
I'm
not
sure
how
much
the
second
payment
will
be,
but
at
least
we
got
that
I'm.
A
Yeah
our
next
meeting
september
12th
the
work
session
as
of
right
now
it
is
tentatively
planned
that
we'll
be
talking
about
the
old
mont
vale
elementary
school
will
be
one
of
our
main
work
session
topics
that
evening
and
and
we'll
that'll
be
the
works.
There
might
be
others,
but
that'll
be
the
main
topic
and
then
so
september,
12th
and
september
26th
is
the
next
meeting
after
that.
