C. Lovingston Volunteer Fire Department Fireworks Funding Request: The Board unanimously approved the request set forth below from the Lovingston Volunteer Fire Department.
“The Lovingston Volunteer Fire Department is requesting $12,000.00 for a firework show for the 4th of July. The firework technician we intend to use is Mike Durbin with Francisco Display Fireworks (Virginia Skypainters). At this time, we do not have an official quote finalized. The quote will include his time, the materials, and the insurance. Should the finalized quote come in below $12,000.00 - the committee and the Chief agree that we will be returning any unused money to the Board.
The length of the show will be about 20-25 minutes on July 4th at the High
School. The technician intends to use 3” and 4” mortars. He hopes to be able to use some 5” mortars, but it will depend on the layout of the show at the high school. At this time, our next step is to confirm the layout for the show with the high school. The volunteer fire department is committed to ensuring the safety of the residents of Lovingston and the high school. If the permits and the board approve of the firework show, our social media and parade teams are committed to posting on Facebook and potentially printing flyers to warn residents of the loud noise. We will be posting tips on safety for residential pets and livestock as well.
Helpful information
High School Location - viewing would be the area of the middle and high school parking lots or the track. Due to school construction, we are still finalizing this viewing area. A supervisor asked if we could provide porta potties. We will discuss it with the high school to determine if this is allowed and where to put them.”

D. Regional Water Supply Planning: Supervisor Reed, NCSA Board Member R. McSwain, and I attended the regional water supply planning kickoff meeting for the Middle James River 2 Regional Planning Unit (RPU) in Altavista VA on March 24, 2025. DEQ is offering grant funds of about $8,884/RPU to help RPUs get started in the planning process. CVPDC will apply for these funds on behalf of the RPU which can be used for an eligible purpose related to the planning process; such as conducting regional meetings, hiring a consultant to work on the plan etc. Subsequent discussions will be held with CVPDC regarding their leadership of the planning process; which will entail the CVPDC membership voting affirmatively for them to do so. Future funding for these plans is unknown and may ultimately be a local responsibility. Regional Water Supply Plans are due to be submitted to DEQ by October 10, 2029. Please see the link to the water supply planning resources page https://www.deq.virginia.gov/our-programs/water/water-quantity/water-supply-planning/water-supply-planning-resources() for more information.
E. CHA Follow-Up on Larkin Phase 1 Well Evaluation & Dillard Creek Flow Evaluation: Jeff Brantley met with CHA staff on site this past Friday to evaluate access to the property and any potential tree removal that would be necessary for them to do the resistivity testing and ultimately provide for drill rig access to the identified and mapped testing sites. Jeff reported back that he did not think that outside tree removal help would be needed. Scheduling of the resistivity testing is TBD.
F. Piney River Phase II Pump Station: The pump station is currently down with the pump motors out for repair and pumping and hauling of the wastewater being performed. A timeframe for the motor repair is pending from the shop and Jeff B. may be able to temporarily bypass the pump station as a workaround until the pump station is back online. We are working to secure an engineer’s review of the new pump station specifications we have before placing the order.
G. NCSA Correspondence/Meeting: County and NCSA staff will be meeting later in the month to discuss the Piney River Phase II system, inclusive of the Phase II pump station replacement plans and plans for moving towards the Service Authority’s ownership of the system. This will include some preliminary discussion and review of near future rate adjustments for the system.
H. Ambulance Transport Billing Status: Special thanks to Deputy Chief Mike Riddle of NEMS for his work on this issue. NEMS staff have worked through the billing issues for last year and, through no fault of their own, found approximately 760 transport reports that did not get billed. Mike reported to me that it was determined that when the NEMSIS guidelines changed last year around April, the filtering of reports also changed, and excluded several reports that should have been billed. NEMSIS is the National organization that sets guidelines for collecting, storing, and sharing EMS data, and maintains the National EMS Database. Once this was determined, they were able to compare the billing reports from EMS-MC (the billing company) with what they had sent in to be billed from the EMS transport end. The reports that did not get billed last year were resubmitted and should now be in the process of being billed & collected. They will continue to review the reports from January/February of this year to ensure those have in fact been billed as well. From a revenue receipt standpoint, the collections are almost at expected YTD levels.
I. Investment of County Funds: Treasurer Hull, Grace Mawyer, and I have met with both Davenport (County’s Financial Advisors) and Atlantic Union Municipal Advisors - AUMA (A subsidiary of Atlantic Union Bank-AUB) to discuss their investment/asset management services. Both offer similar services based on cash flow analysis and current investment practices. However, the County currently has its commercial accounts with Atlantic Union Bank, who offers their investment/asset management services in-house and is able to provide some incentives; such as renegotiation of banking fees, restructuring and linking of current accounts to maximize interest earned and an interest rate incentive associated with account restructuring. Ms. Hull is currently working with AUB/AUMA on this and a presentation to the Board by the Director of Fixed Income from AUMA is being planned for possibly June/July.
