A
D
And
Mr
chair
before
you
proceed,
we
probably
should
know
for
the
record
that
the
board
did
come
out
of
closed
session
pursuant
to
a
motion
by
Mr
Johnson
seconded
by
Mr,
Scott
and
unanimous
vote.
So
we
are
back
in
open
session.
We
will
save
the
certification
for
our
after
we
finish
the
second
part
of
our
closed
session.
Okay,.
F
A
Motion
passes.
That
brings
us
to
our
citizen
comment
time.
I've
got
two
folks
that
are
signed
up.
You'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak
on
any
topic
that
you'd
like
unless
it
is
part
of
a
public
hearing
that
we're
having
so
I
think
you're.
In
luck,
we
don't
have
any
of
those
tonight.
So
now
just
go.
What
I
got
here?
Lori
Croft
is
up
first
and
if
you
could,
just
for
the
record,
speak
your
name.
We're
no
longer
going
to
ask
for
your
address.
If,
but
if
you
could
share
your
election
District
all.
G
G
This
one
may
come
back
and
if
it
doesn't
another
one
will
come.
I
mean
we
are,
sadly
are
in
a
society
where
we
need
these
kinds
of
facilities,
but
what
we
don't
need
is
to
have
them
in
places
where
children
could
be
vulnerable
and
so
to
protect
them.
I'm
asking
you
if
you
would
be
willing
to
propose
an
ordinance.
G
E
G
Do
you
remember
a
time
that
the
Bedford
County
School
Board
was
unanimous
on
anything
I
think
that
speaks
volumes
right?
So
I
am
I'm
just
asking
you.
We
need
these
for
our
neighbors
and
our
friends
who
have
addiction
problems,
but
we
first
need
them
in
a
safe
place
and,
secondly,
there
needs
to
be
some
oversight
on
facilities
like
this
there's
no
oversight.
I
was
amazed
as
I
looked
through.
Some
of
these
sites
telling
me
I
can
open
one.
The
state
virtually
has
no
oversight
on
these
things.
G
H
H
All
female
facility
was
voted
down,
sobris
expressed
to
the
Bedford
zoning
and
planning
also
on
TV
that
they
would
be
putting
the
property
up
for
sale
as
of
May
between
May,
20th
and
21st.
Sobery
has
started
moving
females
in
at
The
Residence
at
4059.
I
guess
this
is
part
of
their
all-female
facility
and
that's
what
at
least
it
appears
to
be
on
May.
H
The
25th
Barbara
nurenberg
of
blink
Inc
of
Boca
Raton
Florida,
who
is
the
actual
owner
of
this
property,
was
contacted
with
an
offer
to
purchase
for
some
of
the
property
of
the
Ford
joining
Parcels
on
the
Lowry,
along
with
Doug
fullaway,
who
had
spoke
at
at
the
planning,
the
CFO
of
soberis
Barbara
Nuremberg,
stated
quote:
the
property
is
not
for
sale.
The
sobrius
has
a
two
plus
year
lease
on
the
properties
on
Lowry
road.
All
the
rents
are
paid
today.
H
For
these
she
further
commented
the
duck
full
away
and
Jason
Stevens
have
the
facilities
all
over.
In
this
still,
she
still
presumes.
This
property
is
going
to
be
used
for
its
original
intent
within
this
County
Nuremberg
confirmed
that
the
lease
between
herself
and
soberis
shows
the
intent
of
having
our
operations
here
and
thereby
moving
residents
into
this
soberish
location.
It
leaves
a
proof
of
possibly
an
ongoing
operations
residents.
H
Moving
in
under
the
original
lease
agreement
with
them
without
a
special
use,
permit
I
believe
is
a
violation
of
our
County
ordinance
on
May,
the
29th
one
of
the
two
known
females
are
residing
at
the
at
the
property,
invited
a
guest
to
tour
the
home.
The
guest
has
reported
that
all
the
bedrooms
in
the
home
five
up,
one
down,
were
furnished
with
multiple
twin
beds
for
residential
facility.
The
pool
was
open
and
uncovered
once
the
Renaissance
knew
that
the
guests
had
taken
note
of
the
facility
setup,
they
called
the
sheriff's
department
with
a
complaint
activity.
H
The
property
is
picked
up.
It
appears
that
some
of
the
same
men
that
came
from
the
Galax
facility
that
I
know
I
encountered
on
April
24th
has
Revisited
again.
Residents
now
actively
are
self-policing.
Our
area
and
something
is
obviously
not
correct
here.
It
feels
like
there's
a
possible
intent
to
mislead
our
zoning
office,
our
Board
of
Supervisors
and
the
entire
Community.
Are
they
implementing
their
original
plan
without
permission,
as
they
tried
in
the
beginning,
I
believe
so,
because
otherwise,
why?
Under
the
sober,
is
Health
Website,
even
as
of
today,
they're
advertising
Bedford
House?
H
I
A
I
C
F
All
right,
we
have
four
items
under
the
consent
agenda
this
evening
item
a
is
a
resolution
approving
the
renewal
of
forensic
software
for
the
Southern
Virginia
Internet
crimes
against
children
task
force.
Item
B
is
a
resolution
adopting
VDOT
secondary
six-year
plan
for
FY
24-29
item
C
is
a
resolution.
Readopting
Bedford,
County's,
revised
Financial
policies
and
item
D
is
a
resolution
to
proving
the
application,
acceptance
and
appropriation
of
the
bulletproof
vest
partnership
grant
for
FY
23.
B
J
F
I
A
Passes
we
don't
have
any
public
hearings
tonight.
I
have
a
plenty
for
the
next
meeting
that
takes
us
to
our
action
and
discussion
items.
The
first
is
consideration
of
a
resolution
authorizing
the
purchase
of
recycling
containers
for
the
Bedford
County
school
system,
which
is
resolution
r061-223-06,
Mr
Kaufman.
K
K
K
K
Not
have
that
with
me
tonight
now
this
was
a
CIP
project
that
was
I
guess
approved
couple
years
ago.
Probably
it
was
originally
intended
to
purchase
less
than
10,
but
given
the
price
and
the
available
CIP
funds,
we
could
go
ahead
and
close
it
out
and
realize
I
believe
we're
about
89
000
under
budget
for
the
CIP
project.
If
we
close
it
out
so,
but
I
don't
have
those
metrics
of
what
the
diversion
totals
or
or
cost
savings
might
be
with
me
tonight.
I
can
certainly
get
them
for
you.
A
K
What
the
life
cycle
is
for
these
things,
I
mean
these.
Are
you
know
these
are
going
to
be
used
for
a
minimum
of
10
years
and
then
they're
metal
containers?
You
can
weld
them,
you
can
patch
them
you
can.
You
can
keep
utilizing
them
for
a
very
long
time.
I
would
say
30
years,
probably
if
you're,
if
you're,
maintaining
them
properly.
K
So
there
are
in
containers
at
the
other
sites
right
now
we
rolled
out
nine
containers
and
nine
of
the
schools.
These
would
be
rolled
out
at
the
other
schools,
so
this
would
complete
I
think
the
way
they
rolled
it
out
was.
They
took
the
first
nine
containers
to
the
schools
that
were
the
busiest
Jefferson
Forest.
K
K
L
E
B
M
M
So
each
container
costs
almost
thirteen
thousand
dollars
correct.
What
can
that
be?
That's
that
seems
exorbitant,
I
think
I
think
that's
something
we
ought
to
look
at.
I
I've
bought
containers
for
three
thousand,
their
dollars,
I
mean
and
they
were
delivered
to
me
and
and
I'm
talking
about
you
know,
30
or
40
foot
long
containers.
K
K
K
K
E
F
B
A
N
This
grant
will
fund
2
000
per
camera
requires
a
50
local
match.
This
grant
is
for
38
additional
cameras
right
now
we
have
a
current
CIP
project
where
we
purchase
65,
Exxon
cameras
and
another
Grant,
where
we
purchased
six
for
a
total
of
71..
With
all
our
positions
sworn
we
have
109
swarm
positions.
This
30
38
cameras
would
give
one
camera
for
every
sworn
position.
N
We
still
do
have
some
of
the
Aging
custom
signal
cameras
that
do
not
have
redaction
capability
and
unreliable
total
cost.
This
project
is
210
871.42,
it's
a
50
month
contract.
It
includes
the
tap
bundle.
What
the
tap
bundle
is
is
what
we
talked
about.
Last
time
we
submitted
for
CIP
in
the
last
grand
it's
unlimited
storage
license
required
repair
and
maintenance,
and
we
get
new
equipment
every
30
months.
So
earlier,
when
you're
talking
about
equipment
that
ages
and
things
change
with
technology,
we
get
new
equipment
every
30
months.
N
N
And
if
you
look
at
page
two
first
year,
we
put
the
76
000
towards
the
purchase
of
these
leaves
a
county,
a
match
of
23
499.77,
which
comes
out
of
the
Sheriff's
Office
operating
budget,
which
we
have
for
fiscal
years,
25,
26
and
27.
We
would
appropriate
that
through
the
annual
budget
process,
so
we're
requesting
your
mission
to
submit
this
Grant
and
also
accept
it.
It
would
be
awarded
October
of
2023.
N
E
To
clarify
it
would
be
coming
out
of
the
sheriff's
department
budget
for
fiscal
year.
24
match
future
years
would
have
to
be
appropriated
through
the
annual
process.
So
if
you
look
at
fiscal
year
25
we
would
need
a
match
of
thirty
one
thousand
four
hundred
and
eighty
five
dollars.
That
would
be
in
addition
to
the
fiscal
year
25
budget
if
we
are
not
able
to
find
savings
elsewhere
to
make
up
for
that.
E
We
would
this
resolution
would
only
appropriate
well
not
even
appropriate,
because
fiscal
year
24,
we
already
have
the
funds
so
you're,
just
basically
saying
that
we
would
accept
the
grant
you're
approving
submission.
But
then,
if
it's
awarded,
we
would
accept
the
grant,
allow
the
use
of
the
sheriff's
department
fiscal
year
24
budget
for
the
match.
But
then
that
is
also
recognizing
that
we're
essentially
committing
to
funding
the
match
in
the
remaining
years.
Although
the
Appropriations
would
not
occur
until
part
of
the
budget
process,.
N
With
these
cameras
they're
much
different
than
what
we
had
the
ones
we
have
there
so
like
I
said:
they're,
not
reliable,
the
batteries
aren't
holding
if
we
send
the
camera
in
for
repair
can
be
gone
for
months.
Having
these
axon
cameras,
as
you
see
on
there,
they're
warranted.
They
were
placed
every
every
30
months.
We
always
have
new
equipment,
that's
updated!
If
we
send
winter
for
a
pair.
There's
someone
right
back
out,
we
don't
have
to
risk
not
having
them
and
with
these
they
have
the
redaction
capability
and
we're
getting
foyers
all
the
time.
N
So
with
these
say,
for
instance,
you're
on
a
call
and
a
socials
ran
or
there's
a
juvenile's
face
or
something.
If
we
have
to
send
out
a
camera
footage
on
the
foyer
we
can.
We
can
redact
that
out,
we
can
blur
faces
out.
We
can
do
a
lot
of
things.
We
could
not
do
with
the
custom
signals
camera.
So
these
here
they're
reliable.
We
tried
them
out
for
a
while
before
we
got
them,
we
have
71
in
use
right
now
and
they're
they're
awesome,
and
not
only
this.
N
These
things
we
can
actually,
if
we
were
on
a
scene,
we
could
actually
tap
into
them,
live
to
watch,
what's
happening
and
call
shots
from
afar.
They
were
used
in
Lynchburg
City.
When
we
had
that
jail
right,
I
mean
these
cameras
here
are
top
notch,
so
I
don't
think
there
is
a
lot
of
alternatives
to
them.
You
know
to
get
our
best
bang
for
our
buckling.
A
O
All
right,
good
evening,
members
of
the
board,
before
you
have
the
consideration
for
resolution
to
appropriate
funding
to
fy24
for
the
radio
replacement
project.
This
last
budget
cycle,
we
approved
a
CIP
which
would
replace
radios
for
all
of
our
Public
Safety,
but
the
majority
of
those
being
for
fire
and
rescue
part
of
that
CIP
project
was
to
replace
one
of
515
portable
radios,
the
xl95
models
for
fire
rescue
over
the
next
three
years.
O
A
recent
promotion
from
L3
Harris
has
brought
the
opportunity
for
us
to
purchase
a
higher
grade,
radio
with
more
capabilities
and
just
a
better
quality
radio.
The
XL
200
at
a
discounted
rate.
So
with
that
staff
is
recommending
that
we
appropriate
funding
to
fy24
to
remove
or
to
move
all
the
purchases
of
the
515
portable
radios
to
fire
rescue
to
be
purchased
in
FY
24..
O
M
M
O
So
they're
already
giving
us
a
86
discount
on
the
overall
total
of
the
purchase,
so
I
do
not
believe
that
we
would
get
normally
we
get
as
part
of
our
agreement
with
L3
Harris
and
the
regional
radio
system.
We
automatically
get
35
discount
on
all
products
that
we
purchase
from
them.
So
this
is
giving
us
now
86
percent
on
these
particular
radios
just
due
to
the
abundance
that
they
have
and.
O
I
I
A
L
L
L
D
D
L
D
A
A
I
I
M
One
of
the
things
that
that
we've
kind
of
put
to
the
rear,
I
think
not
intentionally
is
our
thoughts
of
a
County,
Fair
and
I.
Think
that
again
mentioning
that,
with
agriculture
being
one
of
our
number
one
industry
in
the
county,
we
need
to
encourage
the
future
of
that
and
the
future
of
that
lies
with
our
youth
and
certainly
a
county.
Fair
is
a
good
way
to
encourage
our
youth
and
and
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
interest
on
the
AG
board
to
pursue
a
county,
fair
and
I'm.
M
Also
aware
of
a
site
that's
been
mentioned,
it
would
be
available
and
it's
a
good
site
in
and
again
I
people
frequently
mentioned
something
about.
What
are
you
doing?
What's
the
board
doing
for
promoting
business
in
this
County
and
in
case
people
haven't
don't
remember,
agribusiness
is
a
common
term
used
and
agriculture
is
a
business
and
it's
it's
still
a
good
business
in
this
County
and
to
keep
it
that
way.
M
C
C
I
would
just
like
to
say:
I
was
at
the
Bedford
County
school
board
meeting
and
just
major
kudos
to
our
school
board,
who
stood
for
parents
and
and
children.
Again
they
approved
a
policy
that
said,
teachers
and
staff
cannot
initiate
conversations
about
sexual
orientation
and
gender
I.
Just
thought
that
was
a
courageous
move
and
and
just
say
major
kudos
to
what
they're
doing.
F
Just
say
to
officially
introduce
Kent
Roby
as
the
Emergency
Management
director,
he
started
on
June
1st
and
happy
to
have
him
on
board
he's
in
addition
to
just
getting
organized
and
getting
all
his
equipment
and
office
set
up
and
so
forth.
He's
already
had
an
issue
to
deal
with,
so
he's
been
he's
been
in
the
middle
of
the
algae
bloom
issue
at
Smith,
Mountain
Lake.
F
You
know
that
is
predominantly
in
the
area
of
Blackwater
Creek
on
the
Franklin
County
side
of
the
lake,
but
it
still,
you
know,
impacts
generally
speaking,
but
Virginia
Department
health
and
Department
Environmental
Quality
are
taking
the
lead
in
that
effort.
Mr
Roby
has
been
engaged
in
different
meetings
and
so
forth.
F
Additional
sample
testing
will
continue
tomorrow
to
see
what
its
situation
is
and
and
how,
if
the
advisory
is
still,
these
are
being
effect
based
on
how
the
test
results
are.
But
ideally,
we
need
some
weather
help
in
order
to
I
think
mitigate
that
algae
bloom,
but
anyways
just
want
to
alert
the
public.
That's

come
out
a
closed
section
session.
Excuse
me
seconded
by
this
beansley,
all

right,
whereas
the
Bedford
County
Board
of
Supervisors
can
be
in
a
closed
meeting
pursuant
to
an
affirmative
recorded
vote
and
in
accordance
with
the
provisions
of
the
Virginia
Freedom
of

Act
and
where
section
2.2-712
of
the

of
Virginia
requires
a
certification
by
the
Bedford
County
Board
of
Supervisors,

In

We'll
have

That
will
be
the
work
session
where
we
have
the
budget
presentations

the
variety
of
Economic
Development
Chamber

Commerce
agencies
they'll
come

make
those
presentations
that

during
the
work
session,
then
we
will

F
Zoning

so
it
might

Also,
just

a
reminder,

Only

little
bit
of

break.
So
that's
all
Mr
chair
