At the beginning of their meeting today, the Albemarle Board of Supervisors elected Samuel Miller District Supervisor Jim Andrews to a second term as the chair. The vote was unanimous and there were no other nominations.
Jack Jouett Supervisor Diantha McKeel will remain as vice chair of the body.
“I’m very pleased with the leadership that has occurred over the last year and am glad we’re keeping the team,” said Rio District Supervisor Ned Gallaway.
The vote took place at the annual meeting which was overseen by County Executive Jeffrey Richardson.
“We have a lot happening this year, exciting actions and moves for our community and I think we’re all anxious to get this work done,” said McKeel, mentioning the Comprehensive Plan and work to get the Regional Transit Authority off the ground.
“Thank you again for trusting me again for this year,” Andrews said. “I also agree that this is a challenging year.”
The only major item on the agenda was a work session on the Comprehensive Plan. As I am quite behind on reviewing documents, I will confess the next AC44 story will be on the Board’s work session from November 20, 2024.
The terms of Andrews, Gallaway, and McKeel all expire at the end of the year and all three are eligible for re-election.
