The consent agenda contains approval of the minutes and then a budget amendment for a variety of reasons including $93,000 from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development for a wine industry planning grant. Details on page 3 There are explanations for each one.  

There will be a presentation from the Virginia Department of Transportation and a department report from Animal Control. 

There are five items under new and unfinished business. 

• There is a support agreement for the Lovingston sewer project requested by the Nelson County Service Authority to back financing from the United States Department of Agriculture. (learn more)
• There is a request from Wild Rose Solar that I’m going to write up in a separate article in the next newsletter. Essentially, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 on June 26 that the project was not in accord with the Comprehensive Plan. The developers are appealing that determination to the Board of Supervisors, and will waive a period of 60-days allowed for the appeal to take place. They agree to allow it to proceed at the same Board of Supervisors meeting where the special use permit and siting agreement are to take place. (learn more)
• There is a request of loan forgiveness of $50,000 for Rockfish Valley Fire and Rescue. (learn more)
• There is consideration of a rescheduling of the date for the November meeting
• There will be an authorization of an acceptance of the conveyance of a property on Callohill in Lovingston (learn more)

There will be no evening meeting as Supervisors will meet on August 28 with the Planning Commission.
