[A. Call to Order]
THANK YOU EVERYBODY.FOR COMING TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, SPECIAL MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 8TH TO 2021 MICROPHONE.
I'D LIKE TO WELCOME EVERYBODY FOR SEPTEMBER EIGHT, 2020 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, SPECIAL MEETING.
WE'D LIKE TO DO THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
AND THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START WITH ALL OF OUR OTHER ITEMS. MR. CARTER, DID YOU, UM, YOU HAD A RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE UP, UM, THE DISCUSSION OF THE BROADBAND COMMITTEE AND THE RAILROAD TASK FORCE DURING THE WORK SESSION, WE COULD PLEASE I'D APPRECIATE THAT.
UH, THE OTHER THING THAT'S ON THE WORK SESSION.
THE OTHER THING TOO IS I KNOW MR. DALEY HAD REQUESTED THAT WE GIVE THEM THE LIST OF OUR TOP CANDIDATES FOR THAT JOB.
AND, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE, MY SUGGESTION WAS HE'S PUT TOGETHER A SPREADSHEET.
AND MAYBE THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT, UH, MS. COLORS SAW THAT I HAD MAYBE TAKEN ANOTHER LOOK AT, MAYBE SOMEBODY I PUT ON THERE THAT MAYBE SHE WANTED TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT.
AND I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO GO TONIGHT.
BUT MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE ON NEXT TUESDAY WHEN WE HAVE REGULAR MEETING THAT WE MEET AT SIX.
CAUSE AT LEAST SO WE'LL BE FRESH BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ANOTHER B IT'D BE ANOTHER LONG MEETING AND THAT'S OKAY.
BUT AT LEAST I THINK FOR REFRESH AND WE CAN THINK ABOUT IT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
WE CAN DECIDE THEN WHO WE WANT TO BRING IN FOR INTERVIEWS, IF THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE REST OF THE BOARD, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
SIX O'CLOCK, SIX O'CLOCK INSTEAD OF SEVEN O'CLOCK NORMAL.
WELL, YEAH, AND THE SIX O'CLOCK WOULD MORE OR LESS BE LIKE A WORK SESSION TYPE OF THING TO JUST DO INTERVIEWS.
AND THAT WAY WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A TIME LIMIT AND THERE, BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY WANT TO DISCUSS THIS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE MEETING IS GOING TO GO NEXT WEEK.
I KNOW WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO START DISCUSSING THIS AT 10, 10 30 OR WHATEVER.
I THINK WE NEED TO BE FRESH BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION THAT THIS BOARD MAKES FOR THE UPCOMING YEARS.
SO IF THAT'S OKAY, WE'LL PUSH THAT BACK.
MR. DALE CAN HANDOUT OR EMAIL IS A SPREADSHEET TONIGHT OR TOMORROW.
WHENEVER THAT WORKS IS I WILL EMAIL THEM TO YOU TOMORROW.
UM, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS, THAT SIX O'CLOCK IS A WORK SESSION AND THE REGULAR MEETING IS SEVEN.
DOESN'T IT? IT HAS TO BE A CLOSED SESSION BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PERSONNEL MATTERS.
HOW YOU DOING IT? SHOULDN'T BE, HAVE TO BE, IT SHOULDN'T BE.
SO WE CAN DO A CLOSED OR CLOSED WORK SESSION IF NEED BE ALL WE HAVE TO DO ADVERTISE MR. PARKS CAN, IS THAT OKAY WITH HIM? THAT'S HIS PROBLEM? THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
YOU CALL ME A GOAT HIT TWICE, BUT, UH, BUT UH, THE OTHER THING TOO ON ITEM D WE ALSO HAVE A, I'M ASSUMING MR. HAND, WE HAVE A CLOSED SESSION ON THAT SAME ITEM.
SO I GUESS WE WANT TO DEFER THAT TO LATCH WITH THE CLOSED SESSION.
IS THAT CORRECT? UM, I, WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO DIFF UH, PROBABLY I WILL RECOMMEND THAT WHEN WE GET TO IT, THAT YOU TABLE THE IN HAND E BASED ON NEW INFORMATION IS YOUR, IS YOUR MICROPHONE ON? PARDON? IS YOUR MICROPHONE ON IT? WELL, THE GREEN LIGHT IS ON.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT, IF IT'S ON, HOWEVER, ALL RIGHT.
SO WE GET TO THE IMD WE TABLE, AND THEN WE GO INTO CLOSED SESSION.
THEN WE COME BACK AND TAKE ACTION IF NEED BE CORRECT.
I'M NOT SURE YOU'D BE ABLE, THERE'LL BE FRUITFUL TAKING ACTION ON D OR E TONIGHT.
UM, AND I'M HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT THAT NOW OR WHEN WE GET TO THOSE ITEMS. OKAY.
UM, BUT WE'LL STILL NEED TO DO ON THE MOUND BEFORE WE GO INTO CLASS.
ANY MORE CORRECTIONS AT ALL BEFORE WE GOT MR. MR.
[Additional Item]
DAVIS, MR. AND BEFORE WE BEGIN THE AGENDA, ONE OF THE, THE TREASURER, IF SHE COULD MAKE A LITTLE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR US.[00:05:01]
ABSOLUTELY.CAN I TAKE THIS OFF? I'LL TALK.
I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT THE RECENT PRESS RELEASE REGARDING A CHECK FRAUD INCIDENT WITH THE TREASURER'S OFFICE.
UH, MY OFFICE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM OUR BANKS, LOCAL BRANCH, AS WELL AS A VICTIM OF A SCAM ABOUT A POTENTIAL FRAUD.
ONE OF THE COUNTY WHOSE ACCOUNT THIS PARTICULAR ACCOUNT IS USED ONLY BY THE TREASURER'S OFFICE TO ISSUE TAX REFUNDS.
ON ACCOUNTS, THE FRAUDULENT CHECKS WERE BEING SENT WITH A LETTER TITLED SECRET SURVEYOR EVALUATION AND GAVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE VICTIMS. CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE PACKAGE BY EMAIL OR TEXT CONFIRMATION SHOULD INCLUDE THE AMOUNT THAT WAS RECEIVED.
THE BANK NAME ON THE CHECK, THE VICTIM'S PHONE NUMBER AND ESTIMATION TIME TO COMPLETE THE EVALUATION.
THE FRAUDULENT CHECKS NEEDED TO BE DEPOSITED BY ATM MOBILE OR BANK DEPOSITS AND COMPLETED AND COMPLETING THE ASSIGNMENT.
WITHIN 24 TO 48 HOURS, THEY GOT MORE OF A BONUS.
ONCE THE FRAUDULENT CHECKS WERE DEPOSITED, THE VICTIM WAS TO DEDUCT A PORTION OF THE FUNDS TO KEEP FOR THEMSELVES, AND THEN PURCHASE EBAY GIFT CARDS AT TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WITH THE REMAINING FUNDS, AFTER THE GIFT CARDS WERE PURCHASED, THE VICTIM WAS TO PROVIDE THE STORE NAME, THE STORE, ADDRESS THE NAME OF THE CASHIER, THE DATE AND THE TIME OF THE VISIT, THEIR OVERALL EXPERIENCE OF THE PURCHASE AND A FRONT AND BACK COPY OF THE CART.
THE SCAMMERS WERE ADAMANT ABOUT SENDING THE INFORMATION BY TEXT.
AS OF TODAY, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY LOCAL RECIPIENTS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO MONEY LOST DUE TO THIS FRAUDULENT CHECKS.
THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THEIR RELEASE WAS TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY AND AWARENESS TO THE COMMUNITY.
I WANT TO THANK THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR HANDLING THE PRESS RELEASE AND TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS TO CONTACT THE TREASURER'S OFFICE DIRECTLY.
UM, I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR ME.
SO IF IT LOOKS LIKE A SCAM, IT PROBABLY IS.
AND WE'LL BE GLAD TO TALK TO ANYBODY.
IF THEY HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT A LEGITIMATE TAX REFUND THAT WE'VE SAID, WE'D RATHER PEOPLE CALL THAN BE OUT MONEY, BUT IT COMES WITH A LETTER SAYING IT'S FOR A SURVEY LIKE A SMART SHOPPER SECRET SHOPPER, I THINK IS WHAT THE NAME OF IT IS.
BUT AGAIN, WE'RE VERY LUCKY THAT WITH THE BANK THAT WE HAVE AND THE PRECAUTIONS WE TAKE, WE DID NOT LOSE ANY MONEY.
THE LESSON HERE IS DON'T BUY GIFT CARDS FOR ANYBODY.
THEY ASKED YOU TO GET A GIFT CARD.
[B. Agreement with the Front Royal-Warren County Chamber of Commerce for the Use of Federal CARES Coronavirus Relief Funds for Small Businesses – Jason Ham/Ed Daley]
ON OUR AGENDA IS THE AGREEMENT WITH THE FRONT ROW COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR THE USE OF THE FEDERAL CARES REALLY FUNDS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.MR. HAMMOND, MR. DAYTON CHAMBER HAS REQUESTED SOME CHANGES TO BOTH AGREEMENTS.
AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE FUNDS TO SMALL BUSINESSES.
THE REVISED AGREEMENT IS IN YOUR PACKAGE.
UM, THE CHAMBER HAS SEEN THIS AND HAS AGREED TO IT.
UM, AND IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.
AND THE CHAMBER IS OKAY WITH US.
UH, YES, ACCORDING TO THE CHAMBER PRESIDENT, THERE, THEY ARE GOOD WITH THAT.
CAUSE I THINK THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WRAPPED UP A LITTLE BIT SOONER, BUT THE CHAMBER PRESIDENT, MAYBE WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO THE CARER, ZACK, MISS COLORS FOR MEMBERS, HE KINDA ZOOMED OUT AND HE MISSED A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION, WHICH WOULD HAVE CLARIFIED A LOT OF THINGS.
SO THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET THIS DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
SO WE CAN START DISPERSING THE FUNDS AND HELPING OUT THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEEDED MR. HAM.
MR. BRAMBLE AND I THAT THE, UH, CHAMBER PRESIDENT, WE GOT THEIR CHANGES AND WE WENT BACK AND FORTH AND ORGANIZED SOME THINGS.
AND HE HAS SEEN THIS ON FRIDAY, BUT SO BEFORE THIS WENT OUT IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE, HE SPECIFICALLY BLESSED IT AND HE HAD SHARED IT WITH THE, I'M JUST HAVING A LOOK HERE AS TO WHO'S ACTUALLY SIGNING IT.
IT SHARED IT WITH NIKKI FOSTER AND THE PRESIDENT AS WELL.
AND SO, UH, MR. BRAMBLE TOLD ME THAT
[00:10:01]
SHE WAS OKAY TO SIGN IT AS WELL.DO WE NEED TO APPROVE THIS TONIGHT? YES.
THERE'S A MOTION IN YOUR, UM, PACKAGE.
I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF WARREN COUNTY AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF FRONT ROYAL AND WARREN COUNTY FOR THE USE OF FEDERAL CARES ACT, CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUNDS THE BUSINESS GRANT AGREEMENT AND APPROVE A MODIFICATION TO THE PRIOR APPROPRIATION SENT, UH, TO THE CHAMBER TO ALLOW 200,000 OF THE FUNDS TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE CHAMBER UPON SIGNING THE BUSINESS GRANT AGREEMENT, ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, CONCERNS, QUESTIONS, JUST ONE THING.
AND MR HAMMER, MR. FERRELL, IT SAYS 200,000, THAT'S THE FIRST GO ROUND.
ONCE THAT'S DEPLETED, THERE'S ANOTHER AMOUNT OF MONEY.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
WE'RE NOT LIMITED TO 200,000, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT CHECKS BASED ON THE TILLER TOWER POT OR WHATEVER.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
WELL, AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE CLARIFIED THAT THE $200,000 IS NOT TO THE CHAMBER IT'S FOR THE CHAMBER TO DISPERSE, TO CARES ACT RECIPIENT.
SO I THINK THAT THAT CLARIFICATION SHOULD BE MADE AS WELL.
WELL, I MEAN THE AGREEMENT STATES WHO THEY CAN GIVE IT TO, RIGHT.
AND THEY CAN ONLY PROVIDE MONEY TO, UH, ENTITIES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE WARREN COUNTY CARES ACT COMMITTEE THAT YOU ALL APPOINTED THE LAST MEETING, AND THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE FIRST ROUND OF MONEY OR IT'S ALL KIND OF THE SAME SHOT OF SECOND ROUND TWO.
AT THIS POINT AND THE OTHER I'D LIKE, AND I TALKED TO MR. FARRELL OR EMAILED HIM, UM, I THINK ANOTHER ENTITY OUT THERE THAT IS DESERVING TO THAT, UH, AND THAT'S THE NONPROFITS.
AND WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AT THE SECOND GO ROUND.
I THINK THE TOWN BASED THEIR DISTRIBUTION ON HAVING A BUSINESS LICENSE AND MOST OF THE NONPROFITS DO NOT HAVE BUSINESS LICENSES.
SO MOST OF THE NONPROFITS ARE PROBABLY LOCATED IN THE TOWN IN FRONT OF OIL.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO COORDINATE WITH THE TOWN AND TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT FOR THE SECOND ROUND AND SET ASIDE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THEM TOO.
CAUSE THEY'RE HURTING AS WELL.
AND THEY PROVIDE A TREMENDOUS SERVICE AND THEY ALSO SAVE US MONEY IN THE LONG RUN BY, UH, TAKING CARE OF THINGS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD PROBABLY GO TO DSS.
AND I HAD ACTUALLY BEEN ALREADY BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT.
MR. HAS BEEN TALKING WITH US AS WELL.
THANK YOU FOR ON TARGET THERE.
THERE'S THIS HIERARCHY SPIN UP.
SO I MADE THE MOTION TONY SECOND.
AND MR. SHAHRAKI COULD WE GET ON THIS PLEASE? MR. CARTER, MR. CHAIRMAN, MS. COLORS.
[C. Agreement with the Front Royal-Warren County Chamber of Commerce for the Use of Federal CARES Coronavirus Relief Funds for Individual Assistance with Utility Payments – Jason Ham/Ed Daley]
THING ON OUR AGENDA IS THE AGREEMENT WITH FRONT ROW WARREN COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR THE USE OF FEDERAL CARES, CORONA VERUS RE RELIEF FUNDS, INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE WITH UTILITY PAYMENTS.MR. HAMMOND, MR. DALEY, AGAIN AGAIN, PER MY PRIOR COMMENTS, THE CHAMBER HAS SEEN THIS AGREEMENT AS WELL AND HAS AGREED TO IT.
IT HAS A SIMILAR PROVISION FOR SEED MONEY, OBVIOUSLY LESS BECAUSE THERE'S 413,000 TOTAL TO BE DISTRIBUTED UNDER THIS FOR FOLKS THAT ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THEIR UTILITY BILLS.
AND THIS PROVIDES FOR $50,000 IN SEED MONEY.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. PAM? SO THESE FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE IDENTIFIED BY THE DEPARTMENT SOCIAL SERVICES.
THEY WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATION, THEY'LL APPLY TO THE CARES ACT FUNDS AND THEN BE REIMBURSED OR GIVEN THE FUNDS AFTER THAT TRANSACTION IS COMPLETE, CORRECT.
THE ULTIMATE BODY THAT DECIDES IS THE CARES THAT COMMITTEE, RIGHT? AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE VARIOUS MEMBERS ON THE CARES THAT COMMITTEE, THERE ARE ACTUALLY DSS MEMBERS AS WELL.
THESE WILL APPLICATIONS WILL GO THROUGH THE CHAMBER AND THEN WE'LL GO TO DSS, THROWING THE CHANGE.
AND THEN IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE, WHICH WILL BE DETERMINED OVER AT DSS, THEY WILL SEND IT BACK TO THE CHAMBER AND THE CHAMBER WILL THEN WRITE THE CHECK FOR THE AMOUNT OF DESIGNATED BRAND.
WE WILL USE THE 50,000 AS THE SEED MONEY FOR REIMBURSING THEM AS THEY GO.
YEAH, BECAUSE DSS IS BASICALLY BETTING THE RECIPIENTS AND WE LOOKED AT THIS NINE WAYS TO SUNDAY
[00:15:01]
AND WE CANNOT GIVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE UTILITY.WE HAVE TO GIVE IT TO THE INDIVIDUAL.
AND I KNOW THAT THE CHAMBER HAD A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN ABOUT GIVING IT TO THE INDIVIDUAL.
UM, AND MAYBE THEY DON'T PUT IT TOWARDS UTILITY BILL.
I THINK 95% OF THE PEOPLE WILL, BUT THE MAIN THING WE NEED TO DO, AND I KNOW MR. HAMILL AGREED, WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE COMPLY WITH THE, UH, PROTOCOL OF, UH, THE CARES ACT.
AND AGAIN, SOME OF YOU HAVE TO DSS TO MAKE SURE IT'S PROPERLY DISTRIBUTED.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO THE MOTION OR NOT THAT IF IT'S NOT PROPERLY DISTRIBUTED, WE HOLD, UM, BETH RESPONSIBLE.
IT'S LIKE THE CARES ACT IS THAT IS THE ENTITY THAT UNDER THE AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES THE APPROVAL, BUT IT GOES TO RIGHT AND THERE'LL BE THE ONES BETTING IT.
SO THAT'S ALL REALLY, I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THE CHAMBER A LITTLE BIT OF HEARTBURN, BUT I THINK HAS BEEN, UH, CLARIFIED AND RECTIFIED AND JUST LIKE I SAID, LET'S MOVE FORWARD AND, AND HELP THE PEOPLE WE NEED TO HELP SINCE YOU'RE HOLDING HER RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, SIR.
UM, WE'LL GET TO OUR NEW DIRECTOR IN A BIT, BUT HE'S GOING TO BE TAKING OVER THE AGENCY AND ADMINISTERING THAT AND SHE'S GONNA FOCUS THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS ON THE CARES ACT FOR US.
ALL THAT BEING SAID, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I MOVED UP THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF WARREN COUNTY AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN FRONT ROYAL AND WARREN COUNTY FOR THE USE OF FEDERAL CARES THAT CORONAVIRUS CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUNDS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE UTILITY FUNDS TO THOSE IN NEED AND WHOM HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE PANDEMIC, UM, THE UTILITIES GRANT AGREEMENT AND APPROVAL MODIFICATION TO THE PRIOR APPROPRIATIONS TO THE CHAMBER TO ALLOW $50,000 OF THE FUNDS TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE CHAMBER UPON SIGNING THE UTILITIES GRANT AGREEMENT.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND, SECOND YEAR? ANY ADDITIONAL CONCERNS? JUST AGAIN, THE SAME THING AS THE OTHER, UH, AGREEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER THAT 50,000 IS THE INITIAL AMOUNT THERE'S I THINK I'M GOING TO SAY MAYBE 120 TOTAL SOMEWHERE ALONG THAT.
SO ONCE THAT'S DISPERSED THERE'S OTHER MONIES THAT WOULD BE, UH, DISPERSED, UM, FOR OTHER RECIPIENTS.
SO THE $50,000 IS, YOU KNOW, THE CHAMBER TAB, A BUNCH OF MONEY IN THE BANK WHERE THEY CAN SEND IT OUT TO PEOPLE AND THEN COME BACK WITH RECEIPTS AND RETURN CHECKS.
SO THEY NEED THAT TO START THE PROCESS.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ROLL CALL PLEASE.
[D. Agreement with Town of Front Royal for the Use of Federal CARES Coronavirus Relief Funds – Jason Ham/Ed Daley]
[E. Approval of Release of Liability Related to the Town of Front Royal Providing Information Technology (IT) Services – Jason Ham/Ed Daley]
I DON'T REMEMBER.DAVE IS THE AGREEMENT WITH THE TUNNEL FRONT ROLE FOR THE USE OF FEDERAL CARES, CORONA VARS.
SO WE HAVE HAD TWO TELEPHONE CONFERENCES WITH TOWN STAFF.
UM, UM, MR. DALEY AND I WERE ON THE PHONE WITH, UM, MATT T DRAKE, UH, DOUG, DOUG NAPIER, UM, GEORGE SONNET, AND A FEW OTHER PEOPLE FROM THE TOWN.
THE STICKING POINT IS THAT THE TOWN IS A CONDITION FOR SIGNING, OR WE HAD NOT, NOT HAD DETAILED DURING THE LAST MEETING, OUR ATTEMPTS TO GET THE TOWN, TO COMMIT TO WHAT THEY ACTUALLY WANTED IN AN AGREEMENT.
AND WE DID NOT HAVE THAT UNTIL VERY RECENTLY.
UM, THE TOWN ONCE, UH, THE MONEY UPFRONT WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION AND, UH, BASICALLY, UH, ONCE SOME OTHER CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT TO, AND I, I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE POSTPONED OR TABLED, UH, AND FOR US TO DISCUSS IT TONIGHT, UM, APPROVING AN AGREEMENT TONIGHT IS IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FRUITFUL BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL.
THAT'S ALSO ACCEPTABLE TO THE TOWN, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS IN CLOSED SESSION AS TO HOW TO PROCEED.
WHAT'S ALREADY ON CLOSED SESSION.
SO ARE WE TABLING, WE'RE TABLING THIS FOR TONIGHT AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO DISCUSS AN ENCLOSED SESSION WHEN WE COME OUT OF CLOSED SESSION AND VOTE ON AN AGREEMENT THAT WE AGREE ON.
NO, PROBABLY NOT, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT DECIDE
[00:20:02]
I WOULD, I WOULD SUGGEST TO A MOTION TO TABLE IT.SO I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO TABLE D AND E UNTIL SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE.
SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION? THIS IS ROCKY.
COULD WE GO TO ROLL CALL PLEASE? MR. CARTER, MISS OATS.
HI, MR. CHAIRMAN MS. COLORS, MR. FOX.
[F. 2020 Warren County Board of Supervisors Meeting Policy and Procedures – Jason Ham]
ITEM NUMBER OF IS 2021 COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISOR MEETINGS, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, MR. HANNON.SO THESE REVISED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ALLOW FOR SUPERVISORS TO PARTICIPATE REMOTELY UP TO TWICE PER YEAR, UM, FOR A PERSONAL MATTER, IF THEY'RE OUT OF TOWN FOR WHATEVER REASON, UM, AND PROVIDES A PROCEDURE FOR THAT, THAT'S ALLOWED BY FOYA.
UH, THE MODIFICATIONS ALSO CHANGE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS PERIOD.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS, PERIOD.
WE HAVE AN AGENDA, PUBLIC COMMENTS PERIOD, AND A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
AND THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT WE ALWAYS GET INTO THIS BACK AND FORTH AS TO, AND, AND PEOPLE GET IT WRONG AS TO WHICH PUBLIC COMMENTS PERIOD THEY'RE IN.
AND SO YOU IMMEDIATELY END UP QUESTIONING WHOEVER IT IS THAT WANTS TO PRESENT ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, WHICH IS KIND OF UNPLEASANT AND TIME CONSUMING.
SO IT'S MY SUGGESTION THAT WE COMBINE THE TWO COMMENT PERIODS RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S 15 MINUTES FOR, UM, UH, 45 MINUTES FOR THE AGENDA PUBLIC PRESENTATION COMMENT PERIOD, AND 15 MINUTES FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
MY SUGGESTING IS TO COMBINE IT THESE TWO THAT ADD UP TO 60 MINUTES INTO ONE 60 MINUTE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, WHERE PEOPLE CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
AND, YOU KNOW, MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU DON'T NEED TO INTERRUPT PEOPLE AND QUESTION THEM AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE ON THE RIGHT, UM, PART IN THE AGENDA.
UH, AND THAT IS, IS A POLICY DECISION FOR YOU TO MAKE, BUT IT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION.
UM, AND THEN THERE'S THIS SORT OF MINISTERIAL CHANGE TO SECTION THREE DASH ONE ORDER OF BUSINESS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE CONDENSING OF THE TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS PERIOD, THE 15 MINUTES AND THE 45 MINUTES INTO ONE 60 MINUTE PERIOD, UM, ALSO PROVIDES FOR A THREE MINUTE LIMIT PER SPEAKER.
UH, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THE TIME IS TO BE DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS.
THAT'S NEVER WORKS IN PRACTICE BECAUSE PEOPLE SHOW UP AT THE MEETING THAT HAVE NOT SIGNED UP.
AND, UH, OF COURSE WE WANT TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC.
AND SO THAT DOESN'T REALLY WORK VERY WELL.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS WAS LESS THAN THREE MINUTES.
THE THOUGHT BEING THREE MINUTES IS SUFFICIENT TIME FOR MOST PEOPLE TO MAKE THEIR, THEIR POINT.
ANY QUESTIONS WERE MR. HAN, MR. HAMMOCK, IF WE HAVE, SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT WE HAVE A 60 MINUTE TIME PERIOD, AND THERE'S THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER THAT GIVES YOU 20 SPEAKERS.
SHOULD WE HAVE 30 PEOPLE SIGN UP? WOULD WE BE ABLE TO SHORTEN THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT THEY SPEAK TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS STAYS WITHIN A 60 MINUTE TIMEFRAME? YEAH.
A COUPLE OF THINGS, FIRST OF ALL, THE PEOPLE FALL INTO TWO CATEGORIES.
THEY EITHER TALK FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE OR THEY TALK UNTIL THEY ARE ASKED NOT TO.
SO I ACTUALLY THINK THAT THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THREE MINUTES, TIMES 20 PEOPLE.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE.
AND I THINK IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS IS GOING TO GET THE JOB DONE.
IF IT DOESN'T, THE BOARD CAN ALWAYS VOTE TO CHANGE ITS RULES OR THE CHAIRMAN ALWAYS HAS SOME DISCRETION TO ALLOW THOSE TO SPEAK.
AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR CHAIRMAN DOES THAT ROUTINELY.
SO I WOULD EXPECT THAT THIS WOULD WORK IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES.
IT'S HARD TO DRAFT RULES THAT FIT EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE AND WE CAN ALWAYS MODIFY THE RULES IF WE NEED TO.
WELL, I THINK THE OTHER THING TOO IS TO KEEP IN MIND, CAUSE YOU KNOW, USUALLY THE BIGGEST DISCUSSION WE HAVE IS REGARDING A BUDGET AND THAT'S USUALLY A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO THESE RULES WOULD NOT APPLY TO THAT ANYWAY.
THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE AND I, I, I SUPPORT THESE CHANGES.
THE ONLY CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS, UH, I DON'T KNOW THE DAYTIME MEETINGS.
WE HAVE REPORTS FROM DIFFERENT, UH, UH, ORGANIZATIONS, DSS, THE SCHOOL OR WHATEVER.
SO MAYBE, AND MAYBE IT'S IN HERE, BUT MAYBE IT PUMPED THAT UP BEFORE THE ACTUAL COMMITTEE REPORTS AND LET PEOPLE SPEAK.
AND I THINK IT'S GOOD TO LET PEOPLE SPEAK BEFOREHAND.
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO STAY TILL THE END AND GET SOMEWHAT FRUSTRATED.
SO THAT MAY BE, THAT MAY BE THE ORDER OF BUSINESS THAT WE HAVE AND I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK.
YOU DO HAVE THAT PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD BEFORE THE, WELL,
[00:25:02]
IT IS ON THERE, UM, BEFORE THE REPORTS AND I BROUGHT THAT UP AT THE LAST MEDIA.I DIDN'T KNOW IF BY IT NOT BEING CHANGED HERE, IF THAT WAS JUST GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT THE CHAIRMAN WOULD DO ON THAT MORNING MEETING ON THE DAYS WE HAVE REPORTS, RIGHT? NOT EVERY MORNING MEETING, THERE ARE REPORTS FROM THE DIFFERENT, UM, V.IS USUALLY HERE, UM, THE FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IT IS MAKE THAT CHANGE.
WELL WE, YOU, WE COULD DO IT RIGHT NOW IF MR. CARTER, ARE YOU ONLY WANTING TO DO THAT WITH RESPECT TO THE MORNING MEETINGS OR BOTH? I THINK WE HAVE MOST OF OUR REPORTS, WHETHER IT'S EDA, WHETHER IT'S SCHOOL, WHETHER IT'S DSS, UH, THE EXTENSION OFFICE, WHENEVER THEY USUALLY IN THE, IN THE, UH, IN THE MORNING MEETING.
SO I WOULD ALMOST, AND THEY'RE GOING TO SEE THE AGENDA.
LET'S SEE, THE THIRD IS 7:00 PM AT 9:00 AM.
AND ACTUALLY IT DOESN'T REALLY SAY, I GUESS IT'S PAGE FOUR CALLED AN ORDER PLEDGE, ADOPTION OF AGENDA.
THIS IS PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING THERE ABOUT REPORTS FROM OUTSIDE AGENCIES.
SO PROBABLY IF WE LEFT IT LIKE IT IS WHERE YOU'D HAVE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS ITEM C AND THEN WE HAVE REPORTS FROM THE OUTSIDE AGENCIES JUST TO FOLLOW THAT BEFORE THAT.
SO WE PROBABLY REALLY DON'T REALLY, WE PROBABLY DON'T REALLY NEED TO MAKE ANY CHANGE THERE.
I THINK WE WOULD PROBABLY BE OKAY.
AND THE ONLY OTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS ONLY EVENING MEETINGS.
IF, IF WE START BEST SCENARIO, WE STARTED SEVEN 10 WITH PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS AND WE GO FOR AN HOUR, THAT'S GOING TO PUSH BACK THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
NOW THEY START, THEY CANNOT START BEFORE SEVEN 30, BUT THEY ALWAYS START LATER.
AND IF SOMEBODY IS THERE AND THEY START, WE STARTED AT SEVEN 15, IT MEANS PUBLIC HEARING AND START TO LATE 15.
THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE THERE TOO IS THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE APPLICANTS HERE WITH OUR ENGINEER, THEIR ARCHITECT, OUTSIDE PEOPLE WHO ARE CHARGING THEM, WHO KNOWS 150, 200 BUCKS, UM, AN HOUR JUST TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THESE OTHER THINGS.
BUT I THINK WE'RE BETTER OFF LETTING THE PUBLIC SPEAK.
AND IF WE HAVE TO, WE PUSH IT BACK.
AND AGAIN, THERE MAY BE SITUATIONS WHERE WE DON'T EVEN HAVE MUCH PUBLIC COMMENT AND WE CAN STILL START, UH, UH, PUBLIC HEARINGS IN A TIMELY FASHION.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE PUBLIC HEARING STARTING ON TIME, THEN MAKE IT ITEM C AND IN BOTH THE MORNING AND THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING MEETINGS, AND THAT'S THE WAY TO GUARANTEE THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING STARTS CAUSE IT'S CALLED THE ORDER AND ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA IS IT TAKES TWO MINUTES.
THAT'S THE WAY TO GUARANTEE THAT IF THAT'S A POLICY CONCERN, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING TO DO IS JUST SWITCH, SWITCH THE PROCESS, UM, AND PUT THE REPORTS PRIOR TO ANY OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
WELL, I THINK WE WERE OFF THE REPORTS NOW, MR. CHAIRMAN, I THINK WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
YOU KNOW, MR. CARTER'S POINT IS YOU'VE GOT LAWYERS AND ENGINEERS AND EXPENSIVE PEOPLE HERE AND TYPICALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU ELAP CHANGED THE ORDER OF THE MEETING TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.
UM, YOU KNOW, AND IF THAT IS A POLICY CONCERN OF THE BOARD, YOU CAN ALLEVIATE THAT BY MAKING ITEM.
UM, H UH, IN, IN THE, UH, MORNING MEETING AND ITEM J IN THE EVENING MEETING ITEM C AND BOTH, AND THEN THAT GUARANTEES THAT IT WILL START ON TIME IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND YOU CAN DO THAT TONIGHT, IF YOU WANT TO, OR, OR NOT.
WELL, NORMALLY WE DON'T HAVE MANY PUBLIC HEARINGS DURING THE DAYTIME MEETING ANYWAY, SO IT'S ALMOST A MOOT POINT.
WELL, WE'D HAVE TO CHANGE THAT TO SEVEN.
AND THE ONLY CONCERN WOULD BE WITH THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AT SEVEN 30.
AGAIN, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING, BECAUSE I THINK IT WAS WHAT LAST MEETING WE HAD, LIKE 57 PUBLIC HEARINGS, I THINK.
UH, SO BY THE TIME ALL THOSE GET FINISHED, IT MAY BE NINE, NINE 30.
AND AGAIN, I THINK PEOPLE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND, AND, AND EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS, UM, OTHER THAN STAY HERE FOR TWO AND A HALF, THREE HOURS AND DO THAT.
LEAVING IT AS IT IS, AND JUST BE ATTUNED TO, UH, IF PEOPLE ARE THERE WITH THEIR ATTORNEYS, ARCHITECTS, WHATEVER.
SO I'M JUST BRINGING IT OUT FOR CONSIDERATION, BUT I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY OKAY, JUST LEAVING IT AS IT IS AND SEE HOW IT WORKS.
WE ALWAYS CHANGE IT LATER, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
I MEAN, BRING THE PUBLIC HEARINGS UP, LIKE, LIKE YOU SAID, TO, TO ITEM C, I THINK THAT, BUT THEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AS TO WHETHER IT BE WELL, NO, THE PUBLIC HEARING DOESN'T START BEFORE SEVEN 30.
SO EVEN IT SAID, ITEM C ON HERE, IT'S GOING TO BE EARLIER THAN
[00:30:01]
THEY CANNOT BE EARLIER THAN SEVEN 30.YOU COULD CHANGE THE TIME IF YOU, IF YOU WANTED TO DO THAT.
I THINK MR. DAILY HAS SOME THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS TOO.
I BELIEVE THE AGENDAS AS YOU HAVE IT WRITTEN HERE.
AND WHEN THE CHAIRMAN DETERMINES THAT IT'S SEVEN 30 AND WE NEED TO MOVE INTO THE PUBLIC HEARINGS, WE MOVE UP INTO HIM WHEN NECESSARY.
AND ON OTHER DAYS WHEN WE ARE MOVING ALONG AND ABOUT TO CLOSE OUT THE PUBLIC COMMENTS SECTION, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.
MAKING IT CONSISTENT IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE LAST TWO TIMES THAT WE DID IT.
WE MOVED IT UP BECAUSE YOU CAN SUSPEND THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND GO RIGHT TO THAT.
AND IF IT'S LIKE ONLY THREE OR MORE PEOPLE, WE ALWAYS GIVE THEM THE ADDITIONAL 10, 15 MINUTES AND FINISH UP.
AND I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE TOO MUCH OF A BURDEN ON THE FOLKS ON THE PUBLIC HEARING SIDE.
ANY ADDITIONAL CONCERNS I'M PASSING DOWN SOMETHING.
I THINK I'VE GIVEN IT TO, UM, I'M OKAY.
GOING FORWARD WITH THIS, BUT THE OTHER THING TO CONSIDER, AND I DON'T KNOW, I THINK THIS IS GERMANE SOMEWHAT, UH, CAUSE IT CAME UP, I THINK IN 2018.
AND I KNOW, I THINK MR. HAM WILL AGREE THAT OUR RULES ARE OUR RULES, BUT THEY'RE NOT SUPERSEDED BY THE ORDINANCE ITSELF.
WE WEREN'T AS TAKES PRECEDENCE.
AND I GAVE YOU A COPY AND WE TALKED ABOUT, AND WHAT THIS BASICALLY SAYS, ANY WORLDLY PERSON PRESENT AT THE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MAY UPON RECOGNITION, THE PRESIDING OFFICER REQUESTS PERMISSION TO ADDRESS THE BOARD AND THE PRESIDING OFFICER MAY GRANT SUCH REQUESTS IF HE CONSIDERS TO BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
AND HE SHALL GRANT SUCH REQUEST UPON DEMAND OF ANY TWO SUPERVISORS.
AND THIS CAME UP BACK IN 1975, I THINK BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY HAD PUBLIC COMMENT, UH, ITEM ON THE, ON THE AGENDA.
AND THEY, THEY, AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS SOMEBODY WHO HAD A ZONING ISSUE AND HE WASN'T ALLOWED TO SPEAK.
SO THAT'S WHEN THEY ADOPTED THIS, LIKE I SAID, 1975 OR WHATEVER.
BUT TO ME, THIS HERE WOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE.
SO EVEN WITH THE RULES WE HAVE, IF TWO MEMBERS SAID WE WANT TO HEAR AND LET THIS PERSON SPEAK, WE WOULD HAVE TO ALLOW THAT.
AND WE WOULDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY TIME LIMIT.
SO MY SUGGESTION, AND I THINK THE RULES WE HAVE ARE A LOT MORE LENIENT THAN WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE IT ALLOWS ANYBODY TO SPEAK WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE TWO PEOPLE.
SO JUST FOR CONSIDERATION IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE MUCH ELSE TO TALK ABOUT, UH, WE CAN, WE MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT CHANGING THIS ORDINANCE AND MAYBE OUR ORDINANCE TO REFLECT AIR RULES.
DID THAT MAKE SENSE IN THE FUTURE? I DON'T THINK IT HAS TO BE ANY WELL, YOU CAN DISCUSS IT RIGHT NOW, BUT SINCE I JUST KIND OF SPRUNG IT ON YOU AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LAST MINUTE, BUT THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT CAME UP IN 2018 BY, UH, ANOTHER GENTLEMAN CAME BEFORE US.
UH, AND, AND HE CITED THIS, UH, UH, ORDINANCE.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT CHANGING.
UM, BUT SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP TO YOUR ATTENTION FOR TONIGHT.
JUST FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION.
I HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT SIX 56 DASH THREE BE ABOLISHED BECAUSE IT DEFINITELY IS INCONSISTENT WITH OUR, WHAT OUR RULES ARE AT APPRECIATED IT.
I APPRECIATED YOU BRINGING IT TO MY ATTENTION AND I HAVE GIVEN THAT OPINION THAT I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST IF IT WAS GONE.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN TALK ABOUT AT A FUTURE WORK SESSION, PERHAPS.
ARE WE GOING TO HAVE ANY MORE WORK SESSIONS? NO.
OTHER THAN THAT, I WILL MAKE THE MOTION.
I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ADOPT THE MEETING POLICY AND PROCEDURES AS AMENDED.
IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS THAT WE GET A ROLL CALL PLEASE? MR. FOX.
[G. Closed Session – Section 2.2-3711(A)(8) of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act Consultation with Legal Counsel re: Town CARES Act Agreement]
UNDER CLOSED SESSION.UM, I MOVED THE BOARD INTERN TO A CLOSED MEETING UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION TWO DOT TWO DASH THREE SEVEN ONE ONE EIGHT EIGHT OF THE VIRGINIA FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT FOR CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE PROVISION OF LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING THE TOWN'S CARES ACT AGREEMENT.
CAN WE ASK, CAN WE ADD TO THAT AND THE RELEASE OF LIABILITY REGARDING IT SERVICES? OKAY.
AND THE RELEASE OF LIABILITY, UM, REGARDING IT SERVICES.
CAN I ASK A QUESTION? DO WE KNOW ABOUT HOW LONG I'M JUST THINKING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SETTING
[00:35:01]
OUT HERE TO DISCUSS THE WORK SESSION PART, WOULD IT BE BETTER TO DO THAT FIRST TO KEEP FROM HOLDING THEM UP VERSUS, AND THEN GO CLOSE SESSION? I DON'T EXPECT THAT I'M NOT GOING TO TALK FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES.I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG YOU GUYS NEED TO.
AND I WOULD THINK TOO, THIS IS PART OF THE REGULAR MEETING.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT AND I KNOW THEY APPRECIATE IT.
UH, BUT THERE AGAIN, I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY DO FAIRLY QUICKLY.
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? WE HAVE, WE ARE IN NEED OF A SERGEANT.
IT, ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? JUST ONE, MAYBE, YOU KNOW, WE WERE PREPARED TO DISCUSS THIS TONIGHT OR NOT, BUT IT'S STILL EDA TAIL RELATED AND MAYBE THIS COVERS IT.
BUT AS FAR AS THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT THAT WE LOOKED AT BEFORE, IS THAT, WOULD THAT BE COVERED UNDER THIS? NO, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO REPORT SINCE WE LAST SPOKE, BUT IT'S NOT PART OF OUR CURRENT CLOSED SESSION MOTION.
COULD THAT BE ADDED AS FAR AS A BRIEF DISCUSSION ON IT? IF YOU LIKE, I WOULD LIKE, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO? OKAY.
TO A CLOSE MEETING TO DISCUSS EVERYTHING WITH RESPECT TO THE TOWN? WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT WORKS SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT EASIER.
I THINK WE, WE NEED A, A COUPLE OF MINUTE RECESS TO GET THE LANGUAGE THAT WE USED LAST TIME TO GO INTO THE CLOSED SESSION WITH THE TOWN.
AND I WONDER IF I CAN ASK OUR DEPUTY CLERK TO PULL UP THE LAST CLOSED SESSION MOTION THAT WE DID AT THE LAST MEETING.
I THINK THAT WAS ON THE FIRST OR LAST MEETING, I THINK SO TO ME TO MAKE IT COMPLICATED, I JUST THINK IT'S SOMETHING MAYBE WE NEED TO DISCUSS BRIEFLY TO SEE WHERE WE ARE IN THAT THEY CAN BE TURNED INTO A LITTLE BIT LONG WHILE YOU, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, YOU TURNED IT INTO 10, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT TO TALK ABOUT, OKAY, MR. HAM, IS THIS THE MOTION FOR A SEVEN AND EIGHT, UH, CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL FOR PERTAINING TO ACTUAL PROBABLE LITIGATION AND THEN REGARDING THE TONE OF FRONT ROYAL AND THIS, GIVE ME A SECOND HERE.
SO I WOULD ASK, UM, MRS. OATES, IF YOU WOULD AMEND YOUR MOTION TO INCLUDE THAT THE BOARD ENTER INTO A CLOSED MEETING UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 2.2 37, 1187 AND EIGHT OF THE VIRGINIA FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT FOR CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL PERTAINING TO ACTUAL OR PROBABLE LITIGATION AND THE PROVISION OF LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE TOWN OF FRONT ROYAL AND THE COUNTY OF WARREN, VIRGINIA, THE EDA, HOW MUCH THE TOWN OF FRONT ROYAL, THE EDA VERSUS JENNIFER MCDONALD AT AL THE TOWN OF FRONT ROYAL VERSUS THE EDA, ET AL AND OTHER POTENTIAL CLAIMS AND LITIGATION RELATED TO OTHER POSSIBLE LIABILITIES OF EDA AND THE RECOVERY OF EDA FUNDS AND ASSETS.
