WE WELCOME YOU TO THE HOME OF THE TUCKER TIGERS TUCKER HIGH SCHOOL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SCHOOLS, FOR HOSTING US TONIGHT.

AND I THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ABLE TO LIVE IN THE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR US IN JESUS NAME.
AMEN. PASTOR BOOTES, THANK YOU, SIR.
GOOD SEEING YOU, AS ALWAYS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE AGENDA, I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION TO APPROVE OUR MINUTES FROM OUR DECEMBER 14TH REGULAR AND SPECIAL MEETINGS, AS WELL AS THE DECEMBER 16 SPECIAL.
MOVE FOR APPROVAL, IT'S A MINUTE CIRCUIT, BUT A MOTION MADE BY MISS O'BANNON AND SECONDED BY MR NELSON, THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
ALL RIGHT. ANY POST MOTION CARE IS MR. MANAGER. NEXT, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF BOARD.
I DO HAVE TWO COMMENTS THIS EVENING.
I'M GOING TO ASK ALEC HORTON TO HELP ME WITH THE SECOND ONE.
BUT WITH THE FIRST, A NUMBER OF BOARD MEMBERS AWARE THE PASSING OF AN EMPLOYEE, LONG TERM EMPLOYEE STEVE HICKSON FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH.
THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT JOINED OUR HENRICO TEAM IN LATE 1988 AND MOST RECENTLY SERVED AS HENRICO ENVIRONMENTAL PREVENTION COORDINATOR, CREATING AND FOCUSING ON EFFORTS AND STRATEGIES THAT CHANGE OR INFLUENCE THE ENVIRONMENT TO PROTECT TO PREVENT INDIVIDUALS, PARTICULARLY YOUTH, FROM SUBSTANCE USE AND OTHER RISKY BEHAVIORS.
YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, WE'VE RUN ACROSS INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE.
AND STEVE WAS ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
HIS PASSION TO LIFT UP OTHERS, CONNECT WITH THEM AND ADVOCATE ON THEIR BEHALF WAS SEEN THROUGH NOT ONLY HIS WORK CAREER, BUT ALSO HIS MANY PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
HE WAS INTEGRAL TO THE FOUNDING OF THE HENRICO POLICE ATHLETICALLY.
HE DEVELOPED THE CONNECT PROGRAM AND THE NEW BRIDGE COMMUNITY.
HE PARTICIPATED IN SAULT STUDENTS AT LUNCH TIME DISCUSSIONS.
HE ADVOCATED FOR THE EASTERN HENRICO RECREATION CENTER, AND HE SERVED ON A NUMBER OF BOARDS AND COMMITTEES.
HE WAS KNOWN AS A CARING MENTOR, PASSIONATE COMMUNITY VOICE AND A FAITHFUL FRIEND.
YOU KNOW, THE COMPLEMENTS OF OTHERS SOMETIMES SPEAK MORE.
I HAVE A LETTER HERE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF PREVENTION SERVICES FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES AGENCY, AND I JUST QUOTE A COUPLE SENTENCES WHERE MISS JACLYN SMITH WHITE SAYS STEVE WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN FOR HIS PASSION AND TENACITY FOR PREVENTION.
EVERYTHING HE DID HAD TO BE DONE TO ITS BEST BECAUSE OF HIS STRIVE FOR PERFECTION AND EXCELLENCE. HE WAS A FIGHTER, NOT FOR HIMSELF, BUT FOR THE PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES HE SERVED. STEVE ALWAYS ASKED THE HARD QUESTIONS AND MADE US THINK MADE US DIG DEEPER, AND AS A RESULT, OUR PROJECTS BECAME BETTER.
YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO SHARE MY CONDOLENCES AND I KNOW MR. THORNTON AND I HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT STEVE.
BUT SHARE THOSE CONDOLENCES WITH STEVE'S SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS, HIS DAUGHTER, HIS
[00:05:03]
FIANCEE, HIS SIBLINGS AND MISS LAURA TOTTY, HIS WORK COLLEAGUES AND HIS MANY, MANY FRIENDS. PLEASE KNOW OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME AND WE OFFER OUR FULL SUPPORT.STEVE GAVE US AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO MAKE EACH MOMENT COUNT BY CARING FOR OTHERS.
HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON THROUGH THE MANY LIVES HE TOUCHED.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A SECOND COMMENT THIS EVENING.
A LOT OF NEWS, A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT IS OUT REGARDING THIS LATEST VARIANT OF COVID, THE ARMY CHRON VARIANT.
AND I'M SAD TO SAY THAT I HAVE SOME DIFFICULT NEWS TO SHARE.
AND IT BEGINS WITH THE REALITY THAT I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH OUR SUPERINTENDENT YESTERDAY. WE HAD 530 SCHOOL EMPLOYEES WHO WERE OUT SICK ON THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT SIDE.
WE HAVE PEAKED IN THE DIVISION OF FIRE.
THERE'S A STATISTIC THAT REALLY HITS ME MORE THAN ANY, AND IT CAME FROM DANNY, A DOCTOR, DANIA VOULA, WHO LED THE STATE'S EFFORTS.
OUR CURRENT RATE? OF OMICRON IS THREE TIMES OUR HIGHEST PRIOR COVID POINT, AND TONIGHT AT THE END OF THE AGENDA, I'M GOING TO ASK THAT THE BOARD RATIFY A LOCAL EMERGENCY SO THAT OUR AGENCIES CAN DO ALL THAT WE CAN AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN FROM A PROCUREMENT AND RESPONSE STANDPOINT TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY, OUR SCHOOLS IN OUR WORKFORCE.
TONIGHT, I'M ALSO GOING TO ASK OUR FIRE CHIEF, ALEC WHARTON, TO ADVISE THE BOARD, AND I'VE ASKED MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, ALEC OUGHTON, TO BRING US HOME ON THIS WHAT WE HOPE TO BE THE FINAL PHASE OF COVID.
SO HE WILL BE LEADING ALL OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE EFFORTS REGARDING THE COUNTY'S RESPONSE TO THIS SCOURGE.
ALEC. IF THERE IS A CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, THE FIRST ONE TO SHARE HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT SHE'S GOT TO RUN TO HELP LEAD THIS EFFORT.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH MY, MY PEERS.
THEY TRY TO IMPROVISE, ADAPT AND OVERCOME.
AS YOU HEARD ALL THIS CONCERN THAT IT'S BEEN NEGLECTED FOR OUR AGENCY AND REALLY THAT THE COUNTY WORKFORCE IS WHAT WE HAD PLANNED FOR IN EARLY 2020.
AND AND NOW IT'S BECOMING AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO ADAPT AND IMPLEMENT A LOT OF THE CONTINGENCY PLANS THAT WE SET UP IN THIS 401 PLAN.
WHAT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT IS JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE OF HOW THE FORWARD IN LEADERSHIP GIVE THE STANDARD GOVERNMENT THE FLEXIBILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS TO PREPARE RESOURCES THAT WE NEED TO ACHIEVE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY, TO BE NIMBLE IN ADAPTING TO THE CHANGING ENVIRONMENT AND THE FULFILLMENT OF THE WAY.
SO JUST APPRECIATE THE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE.
AND THEN WE HAVE MY COMMITMENT TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO GET US THROUGH THIS AGAIN AND CONTINUE TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY IN A WAY WE HAVE TO ENDURE.
THANK YOU, ALEX. MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS THIS EVENING.
THANK YOU, SIR. ANY COMMENTS THIS EVENING FROM MY COLLEAGUES? MR. CHAIRMAN, YES, MA'AM, I DO HAVE ONE.
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE NOTE OF THE PASSING OF A FORMER MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WHO REPRESENTED THE TAKEO DISTRICT.
I WANT TO GET HIS FORMAL NAME CORRECT.
WE ALL KNEW HIM AS GENE, BUT HE WAS EUGENE THOMAS RILEY JR.
AND HE DIED PEACEFULLY AT HOME ON CHRISTMAS DAY, DECEMBER 25TH.
HE WAS THE WIDOWER OF ROB KROMER RILEY, HIS WIFE OF 67 YEARS.
HE IS SURVIVED BY FOUR CHILDREN, EIGHT GRANDCHILDREN AND SEVEN GREAT GRANDCHILDREN.
HE WAS A GRADUATE OF HAMPTON SIDNEY COLLEGE, AN EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN ADHESIVES CORPORATION, AND ENDED HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER AS AN ASSOCIATE COMMERCIAL REAL
[00:10:04]
ESTATE BROKER WITH POLLARD.MAYBE. HE SERVED TWO TERMS ON THE HENRICO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
AS TWICE SERVING AS CHAIRMAN, HE REPRESENTED THE TAKEO DISTRICT.
HE WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT SPORTS, ESPECIALLY THE NEW YORK YANKEES AND UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA CAVALIERS.
HE WAS A DEVOTED AND LOVING HUSBAND, FATHER, GRANDFATHER AND GREAT GRANDFATHER WHO WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY HIS FAMILY.
HE AND I TALKED OFTEN ENOUGH, AND HE HAD SOME GOOD IDEAS ABOUT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN ON CERTAIN PROPERTIES, AND HE WOULD ALWAYS LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO.
OFTEN I WOULD THINK, NO, I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT, AND LATER I WISHED I HAD BECAUSE HE WAS USUALLY RIGHT.
SO I WANTED TO REMEMBER JEAN THIS EVENING, HAVING SERVED ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
WE ALL KNOW WE ON THE BOARD KNOW THIS IS NOT AN EASY JOB AND WE APPRECIATE WHAT FOLKS HAVE DONE IN THE PAST TO GET US TO THIS POINT.
MANY OF THE COMMENTS THIS EVENING.
MR. JORDAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, I. I LIKE TO SEE.
OFTEN REFERRED TO AS CHIEF WHO PASSED AWAY.
THE COMFORT OF HIS HOME WITH HIS LOVING WIFE BY HIS SIDE.
WE TRY TO GET TO THE WORDS I GOT.
OFTEN CALL RC, HE SPENT MORE THAN 30 YEARS WITH THE HENRICO FIRE DEPARTMENT, GOING FROM CADET TO DEPUTY CHIEF DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF.
HE WAS ALSO A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE FIRST HAZMAT TEAM IN VIRGINIA AS HIS FAMILY GRIEVES IN SUCH A CHALLENGING MOMENT.
THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS CONSTANT LOVE, LAUGHTER AND IMPACT ON THEM AND THE COMMUNITY. THEY WILL NEVER STOP MISSING OR LOVING HIM, BUT KNOW THAT HE IS ONE OF THEIR ANGELS NOW.
THE FAMILY WILL FINALLY RECEIVE FRIENDS BACK IN LATE DECEMBER.
TINY, AS HE WAS CALLED, WAS WELL-RESPECTED BY HIS PEERS.
MAY HIS FAMILY BE BLESSED BY HAVING HAD HIM AS A MEMBER, THE CHAIRMAN, I WOULD LIKE TO END WITH ANOTHER ITEM HERE.
YOU KNOW, WE TALK SOMETIMES ABOUT THE COUNTY HAVING A HEART, AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A COUNTY MANAGER AND ALSO THROUGH THE EGIS OF MRS. MONICA SMITH.
CALLAHAN AND I GOT A CALL BECAUSE I THINK, MR. MANAGER, YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO BRING BETTER THINGS TO ONE OF OUR GROUP OF CITIZENS WHO LIVE IN THE GLENWOOD FARMS AREA.
AND SO IT ON DECEMBER THE 20TH AT STATION SEVEN.
WE WERE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ALL OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE PARTICULAR GLENWOOD FARMS AREA GOT THEIR PERTINENT INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED ABOUT HOW WE'RE INVOLVED AND TRYING TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS.
AND WITH THAT, JUST WANT TO DO IS SET OUT METAPHORICAL FLOWERS TO THE PARTICIPANTS.
AND AS I WON'T CALL OUT THE NAME OF EACH PERSON, I WILL WRITE THEM INDIVIDUALLY.
BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHO SOME OF THESE GROUPS THAT ARE INTENDED TO PART IN THIS FEED MORE REPRESENTATIVE AND WRITE CODE OF COMMUNITY FOOD BANK, THE MENTAL HEALTH DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES BUILDING INSPECTIONS, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS, COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION AND RECALL, DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND WRITE CODE, POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND I THINK WHAT THIS SHOWS, AGAIN, IS TO SHOW THAT THIS COUNTY NOT ONLY HAS A GOOD SLOGAN ABOUT THE RIGHT WAY, BUT WE HAVE A HEART.
AND I THINK THAT THE CITIZENS WHO CAME UP AND THEY GOT FOOD ITEMS AND WERE ALSO
[00:15:01]
THEY GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THEY CAN RELATE TO THE CHANGES THAT ARE GOING TO OCCUR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I JUST WANTED TO COMPLIMENT MRS. MONICA SMITH, KELLYANNE AND ALL THE OTHER PERSONS, WHICH I HAVE NOT NAMED TONIGHT.BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING THAT HIROKO NOT ONLY HAS A GOOD GOVERNMENT, BUT IS THE TYPE OF GOVERNMENT THAT HAS A HEART.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU, MR. STEWART. ANY OF THE COMMENTS TONIGHT? MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY. YES, SIR.
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT AND TALK ABOUT A PERSON THAT WAS A PILLAR AND A GIANT AMONG. OR RICHMOND REGION.
AUBREY, MAY STANLEY, AS WE ALL KNEW, BUCKY AT 77 FROM BEAVER DAM PASSED ON NEW YEAR'S EVE. HE WAS SURVIVED BY HIS SON, DARRYL AND HIS GRANDSON, WYATT.
BUCKY WAS A NATIVE OF OF HANOVER COUNTY, LIVED AND WORKED IN BEAVER DAM HIS ENTIRE LIFE.
GRADUATED FROM PATRICK HENRY HIGH SCHOOL, THEN NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY.
HE WAS ORIGINALLY ELECTED IN 1983 TO THE BOARD AND IS ONE OF THE LONGEST MEMBERS OF A BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN IN THE STATE.
I THINK EVERY ONE OF US HAVE OVER THE YEARS.
ASK QUESTIONS OF BUCKY AND DEPENDED ON HIS STABILITY AND IN THE REGION.
SO IF WE COULD TAKE A MOMENT? A TRUE GIANT AMONG SUPERVISORS.
THANK YOU, SIR. ANY OF THE COMMENTS TONIGHT FROM MY COLLEAGUES? ALL RIGHT, SEE NONE, I HAVE ONE ONE COMMENT TO TO TO MAKE TONIGHT, AND IT INVOLVES A LETTER AND CELEBRATION OF SOMEBODY HERE IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT.

JUST BEAR WITH ME AS I AS I GET THESE OUT.
GOOD EVENING AGAIN, EVERYBODY FROM A DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT VIEW.
GOOD EVENING. YOU KNOW, FOLKS, IT WAS FOR YOU FOLKS HERE IN THE ROOM TONIGHT, AND FOR THOSE DIALED IN, IT WAS THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR DAYS AGO ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 12TH, THAT WE GATHERED IN A SIMILAR FASHION AS TONIGHT FOR OUR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING TO TRANSFER OUR BOARD AND COUNTY'S LEADERSHIP.
THAT EVENING, I STOOD AT A PODIUM SIMILAR TO THAT ONE RIGHT THERE IN THE COUNTY BOARD ROOM. AND TOGETHER WE THANKED AT THAT TIME OUR OUTGOING CHAIRMAN, TOMMY BRANNON, FOR HIS YEAR OF TREMENDOUS SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP AS OUR 2020 OUTGOING CHAIR.
IF YOU RECALL ON THAT EVENING, I REFERENCED THE COUNTY'S FOCUS AND ONGOING COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, WHILE NOTING THE ABILITY OF THIS COUNTY, THIS COUNTY MANAGER, COUNTY STAFF AND THIS BOARD TOWARD A CONTINUED AND SUSTAINED COMMITMENT TO OUR RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES
[00:25:07]
AND VISITORS. IF YOU RECALL OUR REFERENCE, MR. NELSON'S VISION THAT HE MADE REMARKS UPON IN JANUARY OF 2019, WHILE IN THE SAME SPEECH, HE MENTIONED TWO NEW HIGH SCHOOLS THAT IN HIS MIND, WERE ON THE FOREFRONT OF WHAT THIS COUNTY'S PROGRESS WAS TO BE ABOUT.HE MENTIONED THE DOUBLING OF A CAPACITY OF A BROOKLYN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN 2019.
CHECK. HE MENTIONED A NEW AQUATICS PROJECTS CHECK DOUBLE CHECK MR. NELSON'S COMMENT REGARDING OUR QUOTE COMMITMENT TO REWRITE THE SCRIPT ON ADDICTION AND RECOVERY IN OUR COMMUNITY, CONTINUING TO PROGRESS TOWARDS CHECK THAT EVENING IN JANUARY OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE. I ALSO REFERENCED MR. BRENNAN'S REMARKS FROM A YEAR BEFORE THAT IN JANUARY 2020, WHEN HE SPECIFICALLY AND SOMEWHAT EERILY TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO COVID 19 STATE OF EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT, SPOKE BOLDLY, AS MR. BRANNON PUT IT QUOTE SUPPORTING OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITIES WELL.
BOY, WAS HE IN THIS COUNTY TESTED DURING 2020 WITH THAT STATEMENT, AND THIS COUNTY STOOD UP YET AGAIN FOR OUR BUSINESSES AND CONTINUES TO DO SO.
MY POINT HERE IS THIS, FOLKS, AS WE TRANSITION OUT OF TWENTY ONE, AS YOU'RE WITNESSING TONIGHT INTO NEW LEADERSHIP, I'M PROUD TO SERVE ON THIS BOARD IN THIS COUNTY AND ON BEHALF OF MY NEIGHBORS FOR THE HOW THIS COUNTY GOES ABOUT SERVICE, WE CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK. WE CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK TOGETHER WITH SHARED VISION FOR SHARED FUTURE.
THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS HOW PUBLIC SERVICE IS DONE.
COUNTY GOALS ARE WHAT THIS BOARD FOCUSES ON, WHAT OUR MANAGER FOCUS IS ON AND WHAT OUR COUNTY STAFF FOCUS IS ON COUNTY GOALS TOGETHER GOALS.
I BEGAN MY REMARKS A YEAR AGO THAT WE WOULD QUOTE REMAIN LASER FOCUSED IN 2021 UPON THE GROUND GAME THAT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE END QUOTE.
DURING MY YEARS SERVICE AS CHAIR, WELL, I'D LIKE TO EVALUATE BRIEFLY WHAT YARDAGE THAT GROUND GAME MAY HAVE EARNED US THIS YEAR.
HOW ABOUT UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE GROUND GAME IN 2021, I PROMISED THAT WE WOULD QUOTE TAKE A LONG, HARD LOOK AND IN DEPTH LOOK AT OUR COUNTY'S UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE, ITS RESILIENCY, ITS SUSTAINABILITY AND POSSIBILITIES TO FURTHER ENSURE ITS FOUNDATIONAL STRENGTH FOR COMING DECADES.
IN 2021, Y'ALL MIGHT REMEMBER WE ANNOUNCED $64 MILLION FOR WATER AND SEWER INFILL PROJECTS COUNTYWIDE, WHICH WILL NOT ONLY MAKE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT FOR SO MANY RESIDENTS IN ALL CORNERS OF AMERICA, BUT IT WILL SERVE TO LAY THE FOUNDATION AND THE GROUNDWORK FOR DECADES OF CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR UTILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE.
HOW ABOUT THE GROUND GAME FOR AMENITIES FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS? I PROMISED TO QUOTE, CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE VERY BEST RECREATIONAL AMENITIES ON THE EAST COAST. IF NOT THE COUNTRY.
AND IN 2021, THIS COUNTY, THIS BOARD, THIS COUNTY STAFF MOVE FORWARD WITH FINAL APPROVAL AND COMPREHENSIVE AGREEMENT FOR THE INDOOR SPORTS AND CONVOCATION CENTER AT VIRGINIA CENTER COMMONS. A FUTURE CHAIR WILL IN THE NEXT 18 TO 24 MONTHS BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE A RIBBON CUTTING OF THAT FACILITY THROUGH THE INCREDIBLE EFFORTS OF MR. THORNTON IN HIS WORK AS CHAIR OF CTA.
THIS YEAR, WE'VE SEEN APPROVAL OF HISTORICALLY QUICK FUNDING FOR THE FALL LINE TRAIL, AND IN MAY WE SAW THE REOPENING OF A REIMAGINED BELMONT GOLF COURSE FOR OUR RESIDENTS THROUGH A SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH FIRST TEE.
AND FINALLY, WE WITNESSED THE INAUGURAL JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION AT DOREY RED, WHITE AND LIGHTS RETURNING TO OUR FAN PARK, FOLKS.
THESE ITEMS HELP FULFILL THE COMMITMENT THAT THIS BOARD THIS COUNTY MAKES TO OUR RESIDENTS DAILY.
THE GROUND GAME ON ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, THIS BOARD PROMISED IN MY SPEECH A YEAR AGO, WE PROMISED THAT WE WILL WALK THE TALK OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN 2021.
THIS BOARD APPROVED SEVEN ADDITIONAL SITES FOR SOLAR PANELS UNDER OUR AGREEMENT WITH SUN TRIBE SOLAR, AND IN OCTOBER OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE, WE PUSHED THE GREEN CITY PROJECT FORWARD WITH APPROVALS STRONG ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY MAKE IT THE LARGEST DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY'S HISTORY.
THIS ECO FRIENDLY PROJECT, POTENTIALLY THE LARGEST ECO DISTRICT EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI, RECEIVED A VISIT FROM A SITTING UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF ENERGY WHO REMARKED THAT IT COULD SERVE AS A POSTER CHILD FOR WHAT IS POSSIBLE IN THE SUSTAINABILITY CATEGORY.
THE GROUND GAME ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND PUBLIC SAFETY WE PROMISED THAT EVENING THAT THE EVENTS OF 2020 QUOTE HAD NOT WEAKENED OUR RESOLVE AND THAT IT ONLY STRENGTHENED AND EMBOLDEN IT THIS PAST YEAR.
OUR COUNTY VACCINATED MORE THAN 160000 PEOPLE AT RICHMOND RACEWAY.
OUR DIVISION OF POLICE EARNED THE RE ACCREDITATION IN MARCH, AND A NEW FIRE STATION, FIRE 20, HAS EMERGED FROM THE GROUND ON STAPLES MILL ROAD WITH FOUR COUNT THEM FOUR BAYS AND A RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY COMING UP THIS SPRING AND FIRE.
TWENTY THREE EAST GATE NEWBRIDGE IS RIGHT ON ITS HEELS, FOLKS.
THIS IS A COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
THE GROUND GAME OF CREATING OUR OWN FUTURE SPOKE ABOUT IT THAT EVENING WITH I PROMISE TO LEAD WITH THIS STATEMENT IN MIND THAT THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT YOUR FUTURE IS TO CREATE IT. IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE, THIS BOARD, THIS COUNTY MADE LONG STRIDES TOWARD CREATING OUR
[00:30:06]
FUTURE WITH GENERATIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PAY ADJUSTMENTS, ENSURING THAT HENRICO COUNTY REMAINS A REGIONAL PAY LEADER IN 2021.WE CONTINUED CREATING OUR FUTURE BY PROVIDING THE FINAL FUNDING TO COMPLETE THE 2016 BOND PROJECTS AND BEGAN TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE NEXT PACKAGE, PERHAPS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $500 MILLION, WITH TWO THIRDS GOING TO OUR SCHOOLS IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE THIS BOARD. THIS COUNTY CONTINUED TO CREATE OUR OWN FUTURE BY ALLOCATING NEARLY $50 MILLION TO FINALLY ADDRESS VIRGINIA RANDOLPH COMPLEX IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE THIS BOARD.
THIS COUNTY CONTINUED TO CREATE OUR OWN FUTURE BY INVESTING IN OUR STUDENTS, SPECIFICALLY THE STUDENTS WITHIN THE EIGHT CENTERS, AS WE COMMITTED TO RENOVATIONS AND ADDITIONS AT BOTH HERMITAGE AND HIGHLAND SPRINGS.
WE CONTINUED TO CREATE OUR OWN FUTURE THIS COUNTY, THIS BOARD, WITH A SUSTAINED COMMITMENT TO FISCAL PRUDENCE ON BEHALF OF THOSE WE SERVE.
ANNOUNCING A REAL ESTATE TAX REDUCTION EFFECTIVE IN 2022, AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL RETURN OF TAX DOLLARS TO OUR RESIDENTS.
WHILE YET STILL ENDING THE FISCAL YEAR OF JUNE TWENTY TWENTY ONE WITH THE LARGEST ADDITIONS TO THE COUNTY'S YEAR END CASH RESERVES IN COUNTY HISTORY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'D BE GLAD TO SIT UP HERE AND BE PROUD TO SIT UP HERE ALL NIGHT AND TALK ABOUT THE RESILIENCE OF THIS COUNTY, THE STRENGTH OF THIS COUNTY AND THE UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE WITHIN THIS COUNTY IN 2021.
IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO SERVE THIS PAST YEAR, AND I FEEL AS CONFIDENT AND HOPEFUL FOR THIS COUNTY'S BRIGHT FUTURE AS I EVER HAVE.
TWENTY TWENTY TWO. HERE WE COME UNDER THE LEADERSHIP, LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE OF MADAM CHAIR O'BANNON AND FOLKS, WHILE WE CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK, LET'S REMEMBER KEEP YOUR HEADS DOWN AND GOALS HIGH.
I KNEW DAN WAS GOING TO BE THOROUGH.
EXCELLENT REVIEW OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR.
I DO HAVE A SHORT SPEECH, BUT I SPENT A LOT, JUST A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT TALKING ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
AND ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS CHARLES DICKENS TALE OF TWO CITIES THE FIRST LINE.
IT WAS THE WORST OF TIMES, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND I THOUGHT IT SEEMED EXCEPTIONALLY APPROPRIATE TO START WITH THAT.
THIS PAST YEAR, GRATEFUL WAS MY OPERATIVE WORD.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS CHAIRS MR BRANNON AND MR SCHMIDT.
BECAUSE THEY'VE WORKED VERY HARD, AS WELL AS ALL THE MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD, INCLUDING MR. THORNTON AND REVEREND NELSON.
WE PULLED TOGETHER AND GOT US THROUGH.
I AM GRATEFUL TO OUR MANAGER, OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES, POLICE, FIRE AND EMS. I'M GRATEFUL FOR HENRICO COUNTY'S TEACHERS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THEY'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH.
PUBLIC WORKS, PUBLIC UTILITIES, LIBRARIES, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
PARTICULARLY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY WE COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH THE PAST TWO YEARS WITHOUT THEM. BUILDING INSPECTIONS, PEOPLE STAYED HOME AND DID THINGS TO THEIR HOMES.
JUDGES, CLERKS, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, PUBLIC RELATIONS INFORMATION. I HAD THEM DO EVERYTHING IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH AND ANY OTHER LANGUAGE WE COULD THINK OF. AND, OF COURSE, THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
I AM GRATEFUL TO LIVE IN HENRICO.
MR. SCHMIDT SAID THAT TO NOW, I'M NOT A POLLYANNA.
BUT I TRY TO FIND THE POSITIVE SIDE TO ANY PROBLEM BECAUSE STRENGTH COMES FROM DEALING WITH HARSH CIRCUMSTANCES.
WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER.
THERE'S A STORY ABOUT A WOMAN WHO AWAKENED ONE MORNING TO FIND SHE HAD THREE HAIRS ON HER HEAD, AND SHE SAID, I'LL BRAID THEM.
THE NEXT DAY, SHE FOUND SHE HAD ONLY TWO HAIRS ON HER HEAD AND SHE SAID PIGTAILS.
THE THIRD DAY, SHE HAD ONE HAIR ON HER HEAD AND SHE SAID PONYTAIL.
THE FOURTH DAY SHE HAD NO HAIR, BUT SHE WAS GRATEFUL AND PRAYED TO GOD THAT SHE DIDN'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT HER HAIR ANYMORE.
SO TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE AND MAKE IT SHINE.
WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO BE SURE THE COUNTY IS STRONG AND LOOKS GOOD.
[00:35:04]
SO PEOPLE SAY, WELL, WE FIGURED OUT THE WORST OF TIMES COVID.BUT THEY ASK, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE BEST OF TIMES? WELL, MR. SCHMIDT MENTIONED THIS TO HENRICO COUNTY.
RESIDENTS HAVE FIGURED OUT THE REAL VALUE OF THEIR HOMES.
THE REAL VALUE OF AN EDUCATION, THE REAL VALUE OF THEIR COMPUTERS.
NOW, ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, THE MANAGER AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CUT THE BUDGET BY ALMOST $100 MILLION.
WE'RE STRONG, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY.
LAST YEAR, WE HAD A SURPLUS IN YOUR BUDGET.
MR. SCHMIDT MENTIONED THAT, TOO.
SO WHAT DO WE DO THIS YEAR? THINK POSITIVELY.
IF IT'S A SURPLUS, WE GIVE SOME OF IT BACK, KNOWING THAT WE CAN DO THIS AND END UP WITH A SURPLUS. WE'RE GOING TO TALK AND WE'RE THINKING POSITIVELY THIS YEAR.
SO I'M PRETTY GOOD AT PREDICTING THE FUTURE.
SO I'M PREDICTING THIS YEAR THAT I'M EXPECTING AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACESHIP TO LAND IN A HENRICO COUNTY PARK.
AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE WHAT ELSE COULD HAPPEN? NO TELLING.
OK. I REALLY DON'T EXPECT TO GO OUT AND GREET LITTLE GREEN MEN WHEN THEY STEP OFF THE SHIP, BUT WE ARE READY.
I BELIEVE WE COULD DO THAT IF THEY CAME AND LANDED HERE, AND I DO THINK WE COULD.
MR. MANAGER, WHAT DO YOU THINK? OK. COULD WE DO ANYTHING? WE'RE READY FOR ANYTHING.
SO LET'S THINK POSITIVELY AND ACT CAUTIOUSLY, AND WE'LL MAKE IT THROUGH ONE MORE YEAR.
I DON'T EVEN THINK WE NEED TO GET THROUGH THE WHOLE YEAR UNTIL WE'RE REALLY THROUGH ALL THIS. AND SO I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE YEAR TO COME.
MEMBERS OF BOARD, THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, THE CHAIR IS ACTUALLY GOING TO CONDUCT THE ELECTION OF THE VICE CHAIR FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR COUNTY OR TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
THIS IS AGENDA ITEM TWO DASH TWENTY TWO RESOLUTION ELECTION OF VICE CHAIRMAN, MADAM CHAIR. ARE THERE ANY NOMINATIONS, MADAM CHAIR? I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE NOMINATE FRANK THORNTON, SO I GET FAIRFIELD DISTRICT TO BE VICE CHAIR. I GET A MOTION FOR MR. BRANNON, SECOND FROM REVEREND NELSON.
ARE THERE ANY FURTHER NOMINATIONS HEARING NONE? I DECLARE THE NOMINATIONS CLOSED.
NOW IS THERE A MOTION ON RESOLUTION 222 NOMINATING FRANK THORNTON AS VICE CHAIRMAN? SO MOVED SECOND MOTION FOR MR. BRANNON, SECOND FOR MR. NELSON. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY I.
ALL RIGHT. ANY OPPOSED? MR. THORNTON, CONGRATULATIONS.
I DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, AND I WILL FAITHFULLY IMPARTIALLY DISCHARGE AND PERFORM ALL THE DUTIES INCUMBENT UPON ME AS THE VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, ACCORDING TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
NOW, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A LOT OF SWEARING TONIGHT, RIGHT, MR. MANAGER. ALL RIGHT, MISS.
MISS O'BANNON. OKAY, SO WE MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM THREE DASH TWENTY TWO.
THIS IS AN ITEM THAT ESTABLISHES THE DATES, TIMES AND LOCATIONS OF THE REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR WARD TWO THOUSAND TWENTY TWO.

I WANTED TO READ ABOUT THIS FOR THESE COMMENTS TONIGHT WITH THE SPEAKERS.
PLEASE USE THE LECTERN THERE AT THE FRONT CORNER OF THE AUDITORIUM AND THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING ON WEBEX.
CLICK ON GUIDANCE FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING.
SCROLL DOWN AND CLICK ON WEBEX WEBEX EVENT.

THANK YOU, MR. STOKES. ARE YOU ONLINE? ALL RIGHT, MADAM CHAIR, I ALSO HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS SIGNED UP, MR. TREVOR TAYLOR.
MR. TAYLOR, ARE YOU ONLINE? POPULAR WITH. YES.
MR TAYLOR. HE'S NOT ON ME, SO IT DOESN'T MATTER.
I ALSO HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AND THAT IS MR. JOHN OWENS, MR. OWENS. ARE YOU ONLINE? THAT SCENE IN THE AUDITORIUM IS OK.
AND I'D LIKE TO TALK TONIGHT ABOUT THE TRIBUTE TO MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ON WHICH.
I LIKE BASEBALL IS CLOSER TO THE REGION OF THE GREAT STATE OF THE DIAMOND HAS FOR THE
[01:20:06]
GAMES BACK IN DISTRICT.WE'LL SEE WHERE THE NEXT POLITICAL AND MEANS THAT SOMEBODY WOULD PROBABLY LOSE THE KANSAS CITY FOR PARTY AS THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE SUPPORTING THE TEAM.
I DON'T THINK IT REACH FOR THE BALL ON THE COURT OF DISPUTED.
IN THE CITY OF INTERVIEWS, I DO HOPE ALL YOU CAN READ IN PERHAPS THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT PART THE THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF US, IT DOESN'T HAVE AN ARGUMENT TO BE MADE AS PART OF THE BUSINESS SYNDICATE AND YOU WILL FIND OTHER BUSINESS PEOPLE, FOR EXAMPLE, PEOPLE WHO BE WORKING TOWARDS GETTING THEIR MONEY TO REMAIN VIABLE WITH TRYING TO GAIN THE KIND OF STUFF THAT YOU'VE NEVER ACTUALLY MET TO SET ON URBAN LIFE. AND I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT IT'D BE A WASTE OF SPACE BETWEEN THE POLICE AND THE MEDIA.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S A SOLUTION OF THE OLD ROCK STADIUMS, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, AND THERE'S NO PARK.
BUT HOW DO YOU TRANSITION AWAY FROM HAVING? WELL, WE ALREADY PAID FOR SYRIANS ONLY IN PART TO TO IN DESTINATIONS, ONE IN THE WATER AND ONE FLINT.
IMAGINE A SIX STORY PARKING STRUCTURE WITH RETAIL ON GROUND LEVEL IN THE TRANSIT HUB OF THOSE COMMUNITIES AND BUILD THE SUPPORT FOR BUS TRANSPORTATION.
THE EGYPTIAN MUSEUM IN PARTNERSHIP.
IF YOU BUILD RESOURCES TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE, SOME TRANSIT WILL ENABLE FANS OF THE FLYING SCHOOLS TO ATTEND THE GAMES BASEBALL SUCCESS WHICH.
LET'S PRINT A FEW POSSIBLE LOCATIONS, I JUST THOUGHT HOW IN THE CORPORATE WORLD AND IN THE WEST OF THE PREMIER STANDS TODAY, INCLUDING THE SURFACE PARKING LOT ALONE.
OR ANOTHER OPTION BE STAPLES GOING WEST AND THEN INTO THE GREEN SPACE PARKING LOTS OR A NEW STRUCTURE WITH RELATIVE RETAIL.
LET'S KEEP THE VENEER OF IT OVER DRINKS, INCLUDING POINTS AND PARKING ABOVE SIX DEGREES IN THE KITCHEN TO MAYBE CHARGE ONE DOLLAR.
THE PART ABOUT US IS GETTING THE BUSSES WOULD FROM US, BRINGING IN A LITTLE WHILE AND DRIVE INTO THE FACILITY WITH QUAINT AND PRIVATIZED TRAFFIC.
WE WANT TO SEE AN EXAMPLE OF A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE METRO PARKING FACILITY AND THE WASHINGTON AREA AT THE REST OF THE METRO STATION, AND WE CAN ALSO HAVE AT LEAST ANOTHER SIX FREE PARKING STRUCTURE IN THE ROCKIES AND PARKING LOT, OR MAYBE ACROSS THE STREET FOR SOME OF THOSE OF US THERE.
ONCE AGAIN, IT'S COVERED POLLUTED TRAFFIC CONTROL, SOMEPLACE PRETTY SUPPORTIVE OF THE TRANSITION FROM A REASONABLY PRICED APARTMENT.
SO I THINK THIS WOULD BE A WIN-WIN ON THE GROUND SQUIRRELS TO BE FAMOUS.
THE VERSION OF THE WAY OR THINKING WINTER.
BUT FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN GET HIGH VALUE ADDITION TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
AND THEN RIGHT THROUGH TAX MYSELF BEING USED BY THE CITY, YOU CAN PROBABLY EVEN GET SOME OF THE STATE MONEY TO HELP MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THIS EVENING THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD VIRTUALLY? I HAVE LISTENED TO HER, SIR.
I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY YOU CAN GIVE US THIS FOR HELPING ME GET THROUGH THE TECHNICAL ISSUES.
I AM A RENT DISTRICT AND REACH OUT AND I AM DELIGHTED TO BE IN A PLACE THAT IS THAT WORKS. HERE YOU GO.
I'M GOING TO BE WITH THE JUVENILE JUSTICE RELATIONS CORPS AND I'VE SEEN CLARK'S OFFICE
[01:25:07]
REALLY SUFFER BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT OF STAFF OR IT IS PROVIDED OF ALL THE OPENINGS THAT CLARK'S OFFICE PERMANENTLY PERMANENT AS THEY NEED A LOT AND THEY'VE BEEN WORKING HARD AND TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY CAN.BUT THERE'S ONLY FOUR CLERKS THAT ARE FULLY TRAINED.
IT TAKES A FULL YEAR TO TRAIN CLARK.
THEY ARE LOSING PEOPLE AT A RATE ON THIS LIST UNTIL THEY HAVE LOST PEOPLE OUT THERE, AND THEY'VE ALWAYS FOUND THE WAY THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.
THE STARTING SALARY IS ABOUT THIRTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT THE STATE PAYS.
THE 4000 DOLLARS THAT THE COUNTY GRACIOUSLY COMMITS TO THE GENERAL DISTRICT WOULD GO A LONG WAY TO HELPING THE JUVENILE DOMESTIC RELATIONS CLERKS MAKE ENDS MEET.
IF THE COUNTY CAN PITCH IN DENMARK, THE EQUIVALENT OF $16 TO $18 NOW, IT MIGHT BE ABLE TO KEEP GOOD PEOPLE.
I HOPE PEOPLE KEEP THE JUDGES DOING THEIR WORK BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. KEEP THINGS MOVING.
SO THERE'S NOT AT MANY KINDS OF OUR FOR POOR AND GET PEOPLE TO STICK AROUND.
I KNOW THEY'RE NOT COUNTY EMPLOYEES, BUT THEY WORK IN THE COUNTY COMPLEX.
THEY'RE PUBLIC SERVANTS AND THEY HELP HIM, RIGHT? SO I HOPE YOU CAN CONSIDER HELPING THEM OUT IN THE STATE.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, MADAM CHAIR, IF I MAY.
GO AHEAD, MR. BRANNON, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT.
YES, SIR. THERE YOU ARE, MR. TAYLOR. WE'RE IN THE DISTRICT YOU LIVE.
MR. TAYLOR, I JUST GENERALLY WE DON'T MAKE COMMENT, BUT WE HAD A RECENTLY WE HAD A MEETING WITH OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
AND IN REGARD IN DURING THAT MEETING, ONE OF THE COMMENTS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE PLEAS, ONE OF THE BEGGING THAT WE THAT WE DID WITH THE ELECTED OFFICIALS WAS JUST THIS THE STATE IS ASKING TO RAISE AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, ALL GOVERNMENT TO RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, SIR, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE STATE IS IS PAYING WAY, WAY BELOW MINIMUM WAGE.
WE'VE BEEN ASKING THEM FOR ASSISTANCE TO SO WE CAN RETAIN OUR CLERKS.
SO PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS BOARD IS RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING, MR. TAYLOR, THAT YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND WORK? I'M SORRY. I'M AN ATTORNEY AND I DO GUARD DUTY BY DOING SO.
YEAH, WE HAVE A RETAINER PROBLEM AND WE ARE BEGGING THE STATE AND I AND I NOW BEG YOU TO PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND TO OUR STATE GOVERNMENT AND ASK THEM, JUST LIKE WE DID, TO STAND UP AND ACTUALLY PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH.
I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE THAT, AND I'VE REACHED OUT TO OUR DELEGATE.
OH, THIS IS A VERY REMOTE PHONE AND I HAVE NOT RESPONDED.
THERE'S A FLIGHT TO NORTHERN VIRGINIA THAT DOESN'T CONSIDER CENTRAL VIRGINIA IN THE SAME STATURE AS NORTHERN VIRGINIA, SO WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THE PRESSURE YOU CAN PUT ON THE PROCESS. AND SO WE'LL CONTINUE.
AND PLEASE, SIR, YOU CONTINUE AS WELL.
THANK YOU, MR. TAYLOR. OR IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS THIS EVENING? VIRTUALLY. IN PERSON.

SO WITH THAT, AND SINCE WE HAVE NO OTHER BUSINESS TONIGHT, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU.
