The Service Authority Board of Directors started their March 7, 2018 meeting promptly at 6:30pm. There was an amendment to the Agenda to add a Closed Session after the General Manager's report.
There was no public comment.
Mike Bennett had no report. Richard Granger reported that he attended the budget works session on February 27th. Ruby Brabo said she also attended the work session and commented that Mr. Bennett also attended. Cathy Binder said she attended the work session as well and got great feedback from citizens. Chris Werle said he met with the County Administrator, Dr. Neiman Young, the Service Authority General Manager, Chris Thomas, and representatives from KGI Communications. A one year lease was signed to allow KGI to use tower space for their broadband internet. Werle attended the budget work session as well and on February 28th met with Dr. Young, Thomas, and Echelon Resources, the developer of Ralph Bunche to discuss water supply needs.
The Consent Agenda was passed without comment and the County Attorney, Eric Gregory, had no report.
Chris Thomas began his report with an update on the recent wind storm that went through the area. He said that there were power outages throughout the County but the Service Authority did not experience any outages. He said all of the backup generators worked as designed although two did not start automatically due to the surges. He said an employee was on site to start them manually.
Brabo asked if Thomas could elaborate about the Fire Department asking for storm damage information. Thomas said they gather information from across the County and will assess a dollar amount. This will then be sent to Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) to help determine if there is a need for money to help with repairs. Brabo encouraged citizens to submit their storm damage information via email - kgdamage@firerescue.com - or online. Werle also commented that VDEM helps give money to localities impacted by storm damage.
Closed Session for the discussion of a legal matter began at 6:41 pm and ended at 7:19 pm. The meeting adjourned shortly after.
