Lori Jones reported that the request is a part of the jail bills. He also asked about page 44 = City of Franklin for $1235.00 for Cellhawk Subscription. Lori Jones stated the expense was from the Sheriff's Office and she would provide a receipt. Clayton Kendrick asked about page 46 = $454.19 to Skyline Bank.

Andrew Overby asked about the worker's comp funds under Law Enforcement that are being removed from the Treasurer, EMS, Volunteer Fire Department line-of- duty coverage into the worker's compensation for Law Enforcement. Lori Jones explained that the funds are being moved to the same line. He also asked about the Surry Tower fund reversal on page 4.

He stated there is a hole in the road that could collapse and should be marked dangerous. Doug Perry suggested a rerouting sign for tractor trailers traveling on Route 8 from Woolwine to Tuggles Gap. Ms. Hughes noted that while Highway 58 is under construction, trucks are often being re-routed to Route 8. She feels that the process to start a plan for a through truck restriction can be started.

Ms. Judy Ferring spoke regarding the County budget. My name is Judy Ferring. from the Mr. Overby's Dan River district. I am tired of hearing the repeated complaints about what's wrong in Patrick County and whose fault it is. There are a lot of things going right, thanks to the work of the county supervisors and administrators. As with any community. there is always room for improvement. But think ofthis: TheStuart Library is very important to my family and this community So 1 am, gratefil, for. your purchase of its new air conditioning. system. complere with a service arranty that you all authorized this past year: Not only has ir made the librany more comfortable bul il has helpedpreserve the books and exhibiis housed there and in the adjacent county msen.

And is there a shower where those terrific attendants can clean up before heading home? Ms. Lynne Bogle spoke regarding a social media policy. Request to Patrick County Board of Supervisors to Establish a Formal Social Media Policy. Mar 10, 2025 This is a formal request to adopt a policy related to use of Sociat Media by Elected Supervisors that applies to all platforms, toi include but not limited to FaceBook, Instagram, X, Truth Social and SubStack. As part of the policy, please include a method for citizens to file a complaint for violation as well as a process for adjudication and remediation. This policy shoutd conform to Virginia statue, as well as interpretation by the US Supreme Court and the ACLU, citations below. In essence, when any elected officiat who uses a personal account to post regarding official business, the account is deemed official and subject to the 15 Amendment and supporting statute. The interpretations cited below prohibit Blocking persons from access, limited the ability to comment, and deleting comments the poster does not agree with. Iti is my hope that such a policy will mitigate the County's exposure for the actions of any individual in violation of this policy. This request was necessitated by the actions of Steve Marshall. He has a long history of blocking individuats, toggling Block off and on aty will, posting inflammatory comments then deleting them, deleting comments, limiting who can comment and sharing, or cross posting, from his FaceBook page Integrity for Patrick County, which is now administered by Mrs. Marshall but had blocked many residents over the past years and therefore the posts are not viewable on Mr. Marshall's feed. - have personally communicated with seven individuals who are or were blocked by Mr. Marshall. He has previously accused me of harassment, most recently during his medical crisis, yet offers zero proof. Thave the screenshot where - clearly wished him a speedy recovery.

Lynne Bogle Resident Mayo River District, Patrick County ymetogevA9GMatcom March 10, 2025 Page 22 Mr. Ed Pool spoke regarding a toxic chemical ordinance. My name is Ed Pool of the Peters Creek District The primary goal of any risk management analysis is to determine the Value ofa a Contract that does not Perform (VCP) and how to mitigate a signatory's damages upon non-performance. Therefore, all failure risk excepting failure to pay needs to be upon the account of the contracts originator/seller. Secondly, one of the serious tools of a risk analyst is the acknowledgement of those whose business performance is directly tied to risk and risk mitigation Insurance Underwriters. When underwriters establish EXCEPTIONS and LIMITATIONS within a coverage policy they are signaling potential or proven damages that cannot be INSURABLE due to exorbitant costs of mitigation or remediation. Policy holders are therefore clearly warned of the inherent danger should they self-risk their people and properties to such exposures. In order for a Board of Supervisor's to make good decisions they must be presented qualified facts and data by their advisors and contracted consultants. Failure to inform board members of factual information that is known or: should have been known by their advisors is a fatal failure ini the performance of the advisor/consultant remunerated responsibilities. To validate your vote to place moratorium on solar panels, attached you will find an updated list of the now 47 pending litigations involving the firm that courted our county with many promises Energix EPC US, LLC. This validates the primary risk analysis of the Value of a Contract that does not Perform (VCP). To emphasize the serious of inclusion of a TOXIC CHEMICAL ORDINANCE in the comprehensive plan and the solar ordinance being word smithed by the Planning Commission you should consider whether your advisors or paid consultants have informed you and planners of the following deficiencies in the county's insurance underwriter VAcorp's EXCEPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS for toxins, pollutants and' "environmental impairment incidents." *Section 2 p.124. Our own county underwriter is legally establishing that the risks associated with Cadmium Telluride and PFAS chemicals is sO severe they will not provide coverage to Patrick County. Should the BOS ever decided to disregard this red flag warning then all short and long-term risks therein should be front loaded on any industrial applicant that may be considered for county permitting and that the ordinances clearly define out rules and financial assurance guarantees. Lwould ask the Board to approve a written directive to the Chairman of the Planning Commission to prepare an inclusion of a Toxic Chemical Ordinance in both the Comprehensive Plan and Solar Ordinance. Unless the paid consultant involved with the Planning Commission has brought these risk issues formally to the attention of the Planning Commission, administrative managers and there in March 10, 2025 Page 23 turn to the BOS, would request their sequestering from any further involvement in these functions. 1.

Box 635 Stuart, Virginia 24171 Telephone (276) 694-7206 Fax (276) 694-5488 Malcoln Ronch, Chairman Kurt Bozenmayer, Vice Chairman Warren) L. Rodgers, Sr., Secretary The Patrick County Electoral Board is recommending to the Patrick County Board of Supervisors that the Russell Creek Precinct be moved from its current location, to a facility that is located within the precinct boundaries. The current facility being used is owned by the Ayers family. The family has been graciously allowing the county to use the building for voting purposes for many decades with the agreement that the county maintain the property. During the redistricting process of the county in 2022, the lines were moved and the polling place ended up no longer being located in the Russell Creck Precinct. The existing building is located at 1808 Ayers Orchard Road and is used solely for a polling place. The building has one small room that is used for voting and a small kitchen area that is limited in operation. It has restrooms on the outside of the main building, but there is no heat in the restrooms. It does not have central heating and air. The building is heated by aj propanc gas heater. It has limited parking, and does not meet ADA requirements. We pay approximately $15.00 per month for electricity and $30.00 a year for propane. The maintenance department cleans the facility prior to each election and provides trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels and hand soap for use by the election officials. They also keep the grass mowed and the parking area cleared and maintained throughout the year. Thej proposed location is at New Hope Community Church located at 1863 Clark House Farm Rd. Itl has a large fellowship hall that can be used for voting and it is handicap accessible. It has sufficient parking with Handicap spaces designated. It has central heating and air. The church members have agreed to allow the county to use their facilities as a polling place. Ifthej polling place is moved, we anticipate mailing costs and postage expenses for voter notification of approximately $880.00. This is based on notifying the current registered voters (1,008).

Voting Aye: Marshall, Kendrick, Perry, Overby, Wood Voting Nay: None Historical Marker for Patrick Central School: Ms. Mary Frances Sawyers requested the Patrick County Board of Supervisors to support an application for a Highway Historical Marker for Patrick Central School. Mr. James Hines, Ms. Vera Smith Reynolds, Ms. Annie Hylton, Ms. Sandra Hylton, Ms. Regina Watkins Brim, Ms. Lillian Penn Manns, Ms. Gloria Conner Barbour, and Mr. Ronnie Gilbert spoke and shared the history of the school. Patrick Central School opened in 1952 to provide public education for all African American students in Patrick County, Virginia. The school provided education for elementary and secondary students -first grade to twelfth grade, including basic requirements for graduation. Prior to 1952, education for African American children ended at 7th grade and was provided in one or two room buildings or churches in various locations throughout Patrick County. The opening of Patrick Central brought together approximately 600 students and a team of classroom teachers under a school principal and administrative staff determined to make the new experience unforgettable for the students. That it did. For the first time in the education of African American students in Patrick County, students could engage in organized sports, school-based organizations such as student council, debate teams, spelling bees and more. The consolidation of educational opportunities became a source of cohesiveness and encouraged a strong sense of pride among students and teachers. March 10, 2025 Page 32 However, fourteen years later, following the Supreme Court decision of Brown VS Board of Education in 1954, and the desegregation of public schools in Patrick County, Patrick Central School closed in 1966. The first graduation was held in 1953 (Exhibit B) and children born in 1959 were in the last first grade class taught at Patrick Central. During the 14 years Patrick Central was in operation, children born in 1934 through 1959 were educated in the building. Today, for alumni who are still in the area or who have migrated to states throughout the nation, its structure still evokes feelings of both pride and sadness, success and disappointment. Although many schoolmates are deceased, those who are still alive are concerned that without anything to certify the facts that Patrick Central educated African American youth in Patrick County for 14 years between 1952 and 1966, that history will be lost. To our knowledge, there is no other marker in Patrick County that signifies that there were African American students educated in the county during this period. We discovered at least 43 Highway or Historical Markers in and around Patrick County, including some in Exhibit C. Our research revealed that there is a national program that works to identify, recognize, and in some cases, renovate Rosenwald Schools throughout the nation, and according to the Virginia Preservation website, 86 counties in Virginia had Rosenwald Schools and some of them have Highway Markers. However, Patrick County is not included among the 86 counties. Patrick Central School is not a Rosenwald School. There are more than 100 alumni of Patrick Central disbursed throughout the United States, with a wide range of professions from Deputy Mayor of Lakewood, Washington, to a retired school superintendent, to eachers/prolessors, U.S. Government employees, military veterans, Patrick County Clergy, to one who keeps trucking for Brent Higgins Trucking Company, and many other fields. The pride that our teachers and administrators instilled in us as early as 1952 still March 10, 2025 Page 33 reverberates. Patrick Central Alumni have gathered for at least 20 Alumni Reunions, including a 50th Anniversary Reunion in 2016 to remember the closure of Patrick Central in 1966. Having a Highway or Historical marker would help the children, grandchildren, and future generations of our deceased alumni and future generations of alumni still living to recognize, reflect on, and embrace our legacy. We hope future generations of African American children will always have a reminder of this history. The site of Patrick Central School is 550 Black Jack Road, Stuart, VA 24171, occupied by Burgess Trucking Company, Inc., (276) 694-6764. A Marker would be in this post office area: Stuart VA 24171, United States of America. On motion by Steve Marshall to provide a letter of support for the submission of an application for a highway historical marker for Patrick Central School, seconded by Clayton Kendrick and carried unanimously. Voting Aye: Marshall, Kendrick, Perry, Overby, Wood Voting Nay: None March 10, 2025 Page 34 Proposal for a Historical Marker Commemorating Patrick Central School Submitted tot the Board of Supervisors Patrick County, Virginia Date: 03/05/2025 Introduction This proposal seeks the support of the Patrick County Board of Supervisors for the establishment of a historical marker recognizing Patrick Central School, the segregated institution that served African American children in Patrick County. The school played a crucial role int the education of Black students during the era of segregation and remains an important part of the county's history. Background Patrick Central School operated during a time when African American students faced significant educational barriers due to segregation. Despite these challenges, thes school provided quality education, fostered community development, and produced generations of accomplished individuals. Many former students and educators hold fond memories of the school as a place of resilience and achievement. Significance Recognizing Patrick Central School with a historical marker would: Acknowledge the contributions of African American educators and students to the community. Preserve an mportant chapter of local history for future generations. Promote awareness and education about segregation and its impact on Patrick County. Encourage historical tourism and community engagement. Location The proposed location for the marker is near the original site of Patrick Central School. If the exact site is unavailable, a nearby location of historical relevance could be considered in consultation with local historians and community members. Funding and Costs Funding for the historical marker can be: sought through: Grants from historical preservation organizations. Contributions from alumni and community supporters. March 10, 2025 Page 35 County or state heritage programs. Community Support There is strongs support for this initiative from former students, educators, historians, and local residents. Letters of support and testimonies from alumni can be provided to further llustrate the importance of recognizing Patrick Central School. Conclusion By supporting this proposal, the Patrick County Board of Supervisors will demonstrate its commitment to preserving local history and honoring the contributions of African American citizens to the community. We respectfully request your endorsement and assistance in moving forward with the historical marker application process. Next Steps 1. Board of Supervisors review and discussion. 2. Identification of the precise marker location. 3. Submission of the marker application to the appropriate historical agency. 4. Coordination of funding and installation efforts. 5. Planning a dedication ceremony with community participation. We appreciate your consideration and look forward to your support in ensuring that Patrick Central School receives the recognition it deserves. Respectfully submitted, Mary Frances Sawyers Patrick Central School 704-530-2627 March 10, 2025 Page 36 Grants: Andrew Overby requested further discussion on the JEB Stuart Rescue Squad grant request for a generator SO the agency could provide a Warming Center. The grant application is required to be submitted though the County. Beth Simms informed the Board that the statement regarding the County's support of the grant was incorrect. Requested documentation was not provided by the agency. Andrew Overby stated that several people had contacted him regarding the grant application process. He noted that as long as the agency can provide the matching funds, they should be given the support from the County. Beth Simms reported that The County has not received any documentation that matching funds and staffing for a Warming Center was available. Andrew Overby stated that if documentation was provided from the agency that commits the matching funds, the grant should be supported. Andrew Overby asked if the County has a grant process. Beth Simms stated that a process is underway. If there is an immediate need, she needs to be informed SO nothing is overlooked. Steve Marshall requested administrative consistency with grants. On motion by Andrew Overby to support the grant request contingent upon the documentation of matching funds and staff availability for a Warming Center, seconded by Clayton Kendrick and carried unanimously. Voting Aye: Marshall, Kendrick, Perry, Overby, Wood Voting Nay: None Old Business: Budget Discussion: Beth Simms reviewed the budget process timeline and capital requests. She stated that the floors in the community college building could wait as well as the election equipment and had been removed from the list. Additional quotes have been received for mowing options at the Ararat Dams and other locations. Andrew Overby requested copies of the quotes and locations of the properties. March 10, 2025 Page 37 Clayton Kendrick stated that a previous purchase of a tractor and bushhog was made for mowing at the dams. Andrew Overby wants an assessment of usage for the Adult Education Building. Beth Simms stated there are currently three tenants using the space. Andrew Overby suggested moving the tenants elsewhere and potentially getting rid of the building. Andrew Overby stated that the security measures on the third floor of the Patrick County Veterans Memorial Building meet the State security requirements and Carroll County has no access control for the entire building with the exception of the court wing. He asked that if there is a concern about someone coming into County Administration, we should lock the door. Beth Simms noted that the request to have one point of entry came from Judge Ziglar. Andrew Overby confirmed that in the opinion of the Board of Supervisors, the security measures currently in place meet the requirements. Doug Perry stated further discussion should be had. Andrew Overby stated that security measures should not be a deterrent to keep people from entering the building to handle their business and should not be forced to go through a metal detector. Beth Simms added that the request was for a secured single point of entry. Clayton Kendrick asked if the courts must remain in the administration building. Clayton Kendrick suggested an electronic lock with buzzer and camera to allow people to enter the offices. Andrew Overby suggested locking the door. It was determined to continue the conversation. Jonathan Wood requested additional bids for a zero-turn lawn mower. The Board requested additional contract pricing and slope mower quotes for the mowing at the Ararat dams. Additional quotes are being obtained for an ambulance. Andrew Overby suggested checking with other emergency service providers in the County for a rental unit. Steve Marshall shared his concerns with the Courthouse carpet citing a potential tripping hazard. March 10, 2025 Page 38 Andrew Overby noted that a certain amount of funding can be added to the budget, but there are things that the Board cannot fully fund this fiscal year. Clayton Kendrick asked about the lifespan of the scales at the Transfer Station. Mike McGuinness, Facilities Director gave a report on the scales stating they have met their shelf life. By planning the replacement, the downtime can be drastically reduced as opposed to them shutting down. The current items that have been cut from the budget is a $2000 contribution and moving from a 5% to 3% increase for the library. Andrew Overby had requested in the last meeting to have the total cell phones, landlines, vehicles expenses, internet service, fuel expenses. Andrew Overby requested the actual amount for the Patrick Promise to launch. Andrew Overby asked if the grant writer position was going to be 40% funded by the school division. Beth Simms has spoken with the Superintendent and confirmed. Andrew Overby asked about Auditor = Financial Services for $15,000. Beth Simms reported that the fee is for financial policies specifically designed for Patrick County by Davenport & Company. Andrew Overby asked that staff put together the policies. Andrew Overby asked if there were issues with the drinking water. Beth Simms reported that most of the County offices does not have a kitchenette. He requested to remove the water coolers and bottled water from offices that are on Town water. Andrew Overby requested how the salaries are paid for DMV employees. Beth Simms explained that based on the salary study that was completed last year and the amount of work that flows through that office, the salaries were not equitable. Andrew Overby also asked about other pay increases stating that a 19% pay increase was hard to justify with a budget deficit and would like to freeze the pay for anyone making over $50,000 for a period of time. Beth Simms noted that every few years, local governments are doing pay studies to ensure compensation is equitable. Clayton Kendrick suggested a regressive raise. Andrew Overby requested a pay scale for employees. March 10, 2025 Page 39 Jonathan Wood asked if anyone would be in favor of asking the department heads to cut 1% of their budget. Clayton Kendrick suggested to calculate the percentage difference of the deficit and ask the department heads to cut that amount from their operating budget. Andrew Overby suggested to predict meals per diem for any travel and reimburse the per diem with no receipts. Beth Simms stated that for audit purposes, a receipt must be provided. Andrew Overby would like to see costs of dues and memberships for different positions. Beth Simms confirmed that Board direction was to calculate the percentage difference of the deficit and ask the department heads to cut that amount from their operating budget. Clayton Kendrick stated that the Berkley Group had given that advice and that the Board should not have to go through the budget and make the cuts. Beth Simms confirmed that the Board voted to have all Supervisors a part of the oudget committee. Andrew Overby stated that the Volunteer Fire Departments are requesting a $16,000 increase for capital improvements. Scottie Cassell, EMS Director stated that the increase is due to the rising costs of equipment. Andrew Overby stated that the increases justify the pursuit of grant opportunities. Andrew Overby stated that the Board should consider level funding for fire and EMS. He also asked if all volunteer rescue squads are soft-billing. Scottie Cassell confirmed. Jonathan Wood asked Lori Jones to figure the percentage that each department head would need to cut from their budgets in order to balance. Lori Jones asked the Board to clarify if the requested capital projects would be funded from the reserve fund. Doug Perry suggested that any funds over the 20% reserved, should be used for capital improvements, Andrew Overby agreed. March 10, 2025 Page 40 Lori Jones asked if expenditures being paid with Comp Board funds for employee benefits should also come out, as well as contributions. Jonathan Wood confirmed to remove contributions. Steve Marshall stated that it is common to use the unrestricted funds for budget stabilization. Jonathan Wood asked Lori Jones to use her best judgement as the Finance Officer. Beth Simms stated that following the Board retreat, several department heads said they could cut their operating expenses, however, in several months they would need to come back and ask for expense approvals. Clayton Kendrick said he was confused by how some departments will cut from one line item to move the funds to another. Beth Simms stated that it is not common practice to go between line items.
