2020-03-27 - COVID-19 Public Notice
---COVID-19 Trigger Warning---
PUBLIC NOTICE FOR KING GEORGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA
"March 27, 2020
The Rappahannock Area Health District (RAHD) has confirmed that a King George County resident has tested positive for COVID-19. The individual is at home and is under quarantine.
In addition, the RAHD has completed its notification of every individual who has been identified as a close contact to the patient. These persons also have been advised to self-isolate and will be in regular communication with the Virginia Department of Health.
King George County has also been informed of a second confirmed case in our community. We currently do not have information regarding the incident at this time. As of the publishing of this notice, the RAHD is performing tracing efforts to gain more details regarding this situation. Please note that the health district will not release personal identifying information to the general public.
In response to these cases, King George County is progressing in its Continuity of Operation Plan. This includes ramping up our Emergency Operations Center from limited to scaled operations. In addition, we are aggressively pressing the Virginia Department of Health to provide the County faster and more robust information to monitor and mitigate community spread in our County.
Please note that the Commonwealth’s COVID-19 testing capabilities have increased; however, there is still a 6 – 8 day lag between testing and obtaining lab results. Once this time gap is overcome, we have no doubt that our community will experience what some will believe to be a “surge” in confirmed cases. However, it is important that we understand that these cases are already here and it is going to the take the effort of our whole community to defeat the spreading of this illness.
To help our County in this fight, please closely adhere to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines that include hygiene recommendations; and more importantly, employing social distancing as method to prevent community spread. Additional CDC guidelines can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/guidance-business-response.html
In the interim, another public notice will be published as we gain more details.

2020-03-17 - Service Authority Meeting Notes
by Neil Richard
The King George County Service Authority held their March 17th meeting in the Board Room as normal however they adhered to new guidelines on social distancing by sitting further apart from each other. This meant that only some members sat at the dais while others sat at tables arranged around the room. Additionally, the Board of Directors encouraged members of the public to not attend. While they have been broadcasting their meetings on GoToMeeting, the audio quality has largely been sub-optimal. Over the past few months they have worked towards broadcasting via YouTube Live and the results have been encouraging. You can view the video here. The meeting began at 5:31pm.

2020-03-03 - Board of Supervisors Meeting Notes
by Neil Richard
The Board of Supervisors began their meeting at 6:30pm.
There was an amendment to the Agenda to add a Closed Session.
Mike Maldonado was the only speaker during Public Comment. He wanted to tell the Board about two things. First, he attended the Father and Daughter Princess Ball with his daughter. He said the dance, hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department, was fantastic. Second, his daughter attends Potomac Elementary School and she asked him who the Mayor of King George was. He thought this meeting was the perfect place to ask.
In breaking from the usual process of being a one-way comment period, Cathy Binder addressed Maldonado's daughter who was in the audience. Binder said there were five people up here and four represent a specific voting district and one represents the whole County. She added that there's no one person that's the head but that every year they elect a Chairperson. Binder said she would love to come to Potomac and talk to the kids there and asked the young Maxie Maldonado what grade she was in. The young lady said "my grade is Kindergarten" and her teacher was Mrs. Brinkman. Binder said her daughter goes to Potomac too but she had Mrs. Shaw for Kindergarten.

2020-02-18 - Board of Supervisors Meeting Notes
by Neil Richard
The Supervisors began their regular meeting at 6:32pm.
There was an amendment to the Agenda to add a Closed Session.
The sole speaker for Public Comment was Don Shelton. Shelton said he's been traveling through the intersection at Indiantown Road and Dahlgren Road since 2001 and it's an extremely dangerous one. He said he was almost involved in an accident there a few weeks ago. He said he did some research on the turn-about [meaning the proposed round-about] and felt the intersection could use it. He also asked if local law enforcement could slow drivers down in the meantime, perhaps by sitting in the American Legion parking lot running radar.
