He reported that concerned citizens having reviewed documents provided by the county found that “return on investment” was not a consideration in the decision to build the new building.

Robert Gubish: reported that he had spoken with Rep. Robert Goode in August and Mr. Gubish told Rep. Goode that over the past 50 years and in light of COVID 80% of the people in Washington were traitors, trashing the constitution and enemies of the people. Rep. Goode said he thought the numbers were much higher and that there was poor federal leadership. Don’t rely on the federal government to protect us in the face of a virus.

B. 2026 Reassessment RFP (See Attachments): The County received three (3) proposals and interviews were conducted with two (2) of the respondents by the panel of Candy McGarry, Kim Goff, Susan Rorrer, and Amanda Spivey. The panel unanimously ranked Wampler-Eanes Appraisal Group, LTD. as the top ranked firm using a scoring matrix that prioritized firm qualifications and experience in similar projects using ProVal; the County’s assessment software. Wampler-Eanes Appraisal Group has extensive mass appraisal experience across Virginia and is highly qualified. They conducted the County’s 2014, 2018, and 2022 general reassessments and have extensive Pro-Val experience. Following negotiations, the County contracted with W-E for a not to exceed amount of $409,500 with work beginning October 1, 2024. The 2022 contract was for a NTE of $305,000 with W-E noting that their price increase from the last contract is related to:
1) Salaries and Wages of their personnel have significantly increased over the past 4 years as they attempt to keep and maintain their current staff.
2) Inflationary costs of Rent, Lodging, Vehicles, Fuel, and other items have impacted their costs for
performing reassessments.
3) They prepared our bid for the 2022 Nelson County reassessment on 8/26/20 (4 years ago) prior to
the substantial rise in inflation that began in 2021.
The non-binding cost submittals of the other two (2) proposers was $422,331 and $788,000.

Region 2000 Solid Waste Authority: With 2029 being the expected year for the Regional landfill to reach capacity, the Solid Waste Authority is preparing to submit a 60-acre expansion proposal to Campbell County for consideration, that would provide for solid waste disposal through 2053. This has been studied by the Authority and Campbell County and has proven to be the most feasible option going forward, however it faces opposition from Campbell County residents residing near the landfill. Should the expansion not move forward, Nelson will look at options to transfer solid waste to another landfill site within the region.

2. Board Reports: Dr. Ligon reported that there was nothing new to report from the Jail Board meeting. Mr. Rutherford reported that he attended the PDC meeting with discussions of data centers coming to the commonwealth and their impact on energy consumption. Louisa has capitalized on that, and it will seriously affect the cost of energy region wide although the revenue they generate is limited to the county in which the data centers are located. Affordable housing was addressed and the deleterious effects of inflation on the problem. Inventory continues to decline. Good jobs are coming to Waynesboro which will further adversely impact the cost of housing. Water and sewage are being addressed by partnering up of neighboring counties to help capacity and usage across county lines. Mr. Reed reported that the Board would be addressing the items addressed at the last Planning Commission meeting at the 7:00 pm meeting of the Board.
B. Appointments: Stacy Rush, from Central District was appointed by unanimous vote to the Nelson County Social Services Board.
A non-agenda item was raised by Supervisor Rutherford regarding who would continue to represent the Board on the Planning Commission. Supervisor Reed from Central District is the current representative. His term ends in January 2025 (a one-year term). The discussion of this issue can be viewed online and begins at hour one, minute eight, fourteenth second (1.08.14) on the UTube video of the meeting. The author suggests that everyone reading this summary review what actually occurred. Access to the video can be found by going to https://www.nelsoncounty-va.gov/government/board-of-supervisors/ and clicking on the box titled “View on Line Meetings”. Then choose September 10, 2024 Nelson County Board of Supervisors Meeting .Below is the author’s summary of what occurred.
Supervisor Rutherford began by stating that the comprehensive plan has been finalized and the “zoning and ordinances” review and rework resulting from the comprehensive plan has begun. Supervisor Rutherford stated that Supervisor Reed served more than one term so thatcould see the comprehensive plan through to completion and that Supervisor Reed has served on the Planning Commission for over two-and one-half years. Supervisor Rutherford suggested that now would be a good time for Supervisor Reed to step down and let someone else “ride the whole train” during the revisions of zoning and ordinances. Supervisor Rutherford said that he had been in discussion with a couple of members of the planning Commission and the consensus of that discussion was that Supervisor Reed should step down.
Supervisor Reed said that he had been contacted the prior Friday by Chairman Parr about Supervisor Rutherford’s concerns and he (Reed) had given the matter some thought and that he (Reed) wanted to serve out his term. Supervisor Reed that any of the planning commissions meetings are open and any of the Board members can attend though not participate.
Supervisor Rutherford again pressed the issue and suggested that Supervisor Ligon assume the role of Board representative and remain on the Planning Commission until the Zoning and Ordinance Revisions are completed. Supervisor Reed again declined to step down. Supervisor Ligon stepped in and said the concern was that “we want it to be a productive, respectful” through the zoning review and there have been rumblings from the planning commission that several members would step down if there was not a change in who was representing the Board and having Supervisor Reed step down would be less disruptive than having a number of Planning Commission members leave. Supervisor Reed responded that he has not heard anything from the Planning Commission Members. He (Reed) stated that he first heard of this issue from Supervisor Parr the prior Friday. Supervisor Reed again declined to step down.
Supervisor Rutherford made a motion to remove Supervisor Reed and replace him with Supervisor Ligon. Supervisor Ligon seconded the motion. Supervisor Reed stated he was appalled and said no one from the Planning Commission, his constituents or his colleagues on the Board had voiced any objections or criticism about his conduct to him prior to last Friday.
The motion passed 2-1 with Supervisor Reed being the sole dissenting vote. *
C. Correspondence: None
D. Directives: There was a question about trucks appearing that seemed to be doing County work that don’t have County decals or striping. Ms. McGarry said there are a few new vehicles that didn’t have decals, but they would be labeled soon.

B. Ordinance O2024-01 - Creation of Agricultural & Forestal District – North Fork – 2290.254
Acres Consideration of a request for the creation of an Agricultural and Forestal District in the
Montebello/North Fork area.
The Planning & Zoning Department has received an application from Mr. Wade Lanning to create a new 2418.244 acre Agricultural and Forestal District to be known as the Fork Mountain Agricultural and Forestal District. The proposed District is located along Fork Mountain Ln, North Fork Rd, Fish Hatchery Ln, and the surrounding area.
“The Agricultural and Forest Conservation District Program is a voluntary program in which farmers, foresters and landowners form an Agricultural and/or Forest Conservation District for the purposes of conserving areas that are rural and agricultural. The property owner continues to hold fee simple title to the land, but the easement restrictions run with the land, for a set term of years. The agreements usually include exceptions that permit the landowner to withdraw from the program under certain circumstances.
Agricultural-Forestal Districts (AFDs) were established by the State of Virginia as a means for counties to offer incentives to landowners to maintain their property in agriculture and forestry. These benefits include
(1) eligibility for Land Use taxation,
(2) protection from eminent domain and municipal annexation, and
(3) protection from frivolous nuisance complaints.
These protections are in effect for the duration of the contract period. As a result, the County is able to more accurately plan land use in the region, since the owner agrees not to convert the property to a more intensive use for the duration of the contract. The rural nature of the landscape is maintained and the tax rates remain low since residential development is slowed and county resources are not overburdened.”
2 Review Criteria for AFDs: Please reference Section 9-201 “Evaluation Criteria” for a list of factors to be considered by the Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, and the Board of Supervisors when reviewing the application for AFD #24-0134, as follows:
a) The agricultural and forestal significance of land within the district or addition and in areas adjacent thereto;
b) The presence of any significant agricultural lands or significant forestal lands within the district and in areas adjacent thereto that are not now in active agricultural or forestal production;
c) The nature and extent of land uses other than active farming or forestry within the district and in areas adjacent thereto;
d) Local developmental patterns and needs;
e) The comprehensive plan and, if applicable, zoning regulations;
f) The environmental benefits of retaining the lands in the district for agricultural and forestal uses; and
g) Any other matter which may be relevant.
In judging the agricultural and forestal significance of land, any relevant agricultural or forestal maps may be considered, as well as soil, climate, topography, other natural factors,markets for agricultural and forestal products, the extent and nature of farm structures, the present status of agriculture and forestry, anticipated trends in agricultural economic conditions and such other factors as may be relevant.
Public Hearing: Susan McSwain spoke as Secretary to the AFD Advisory Committee and provided an overview of the existing AFDs. The creation of this AFD will give each district in the County an AFD.
The motion was amended at the request of the applicant to include certain additional parcels and to remove certain parcels. The Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted the following amended ordinance:
