Mr. Barksdale opened the public hearing at 9:28pm. Mr. Hawker and Mr. Hunt explained the Planning Commission had sent back the revised proposed amendment with the Board of Supervisors requested revisions stated in the December 17, 2013 board meeting that No Adult Use permit would be issued (1) within three (3) miles of any other existing Adult Use: and (2) Within two-thousand five-hundred (2500) feet of any existing residential use or residentially zoned district, or any existing religious places, public or private schools/institutions up to and including twelfth (12th) grade, and their adjunct playgrounds, community swimming pools, day-care centers, public parks and public libraries.

TLAC’s responsibilities to include Leesville Lake, and incorporate Campbell County into the Agreement into Chapter 1, Article III, Section 1.8 of Pittsylvania County Code. Mr. Barksdale opened the public hearing at 9:49pm. Mr. Hawker explained that is a proposed Revised Organizational Cooperative Agreement that would expand TLAC’s responsibilities to include Leesville Lake, and incorporate Campbell County into the Agreement. Because this is an intergovernmental agreement, before the Board of Supervisors can vote on this proposal, a public hearing for citizen input is required in accordance with §15.2-1300(B) of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, and Chapter 1, Article III, Section 1.8 of Pittsylvania County Code. The Counties of Bedford, Campbell and Franklin had held their public hearings and had approved the attached agreement. Sherwood Zimmerman, representative for the Leesville Lake Association spoke to the Board with concerns over some wording of the agreement as written would currently allow only a part-time employee of TLAC to make recommendations to TLCA concerning Leesville Lake. The Leesville Lake Association felt they should also have that ability and had spoken with TLAC on this issue. Mr. Zimmerman said they were told by TLAC the wording could be amended. Upon hearing this, motion came from Mr. Harville, seconded by MR. Blackstock, to table the issue until TLAC sent a revised agreement with approved wording that met both TLAC’s and the Leesville Lake Association’s needs. Mr. Harville’s motion was unanimously approved by the Board.

Mr. Hawker stated the Board of Supervisors has received a letter of consideration from the Ringgold Volunteer Fire Department concerning the purchase of a ladder truck. Currently, the Ringgold VFD stated between the $200,000.00 they had already received from th e County and a commitment of funds totaling approximately $160,000.00 from businesses the fire department provides fire protection. A used truck of the type needed was approximately $425,000.00 and a new one approximately $500,000.00. The Ringgold VFD was therefore asking the Board of Supervisors for consideration on how the fire department should move forward with this purchase. Bobby Gene Atkinson, Chairman of the Ringgold VFD was present. Mr. Hagerman stated that the fire department had received the $200,000.00 from the County in August 2013, and felt in this time period, they should have been able to find a truck to meet their needs. Furthermore, Mr. Hagerman felt this money could have remained with the County during the search and drew interest in the County’s account until such time the fire department found a truck and then the County could have issued the $200,000.00. Mr. Hagerman then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Blackstock, request that the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors (1) give the Ringgold Volunteer Fire Department ninety (90) days to either purchase the ladder truck or submit proof of purchasing terms through a lawful financial institution and if that has not been met in ninety (90) days, then the Pittsylvania County Board of Su pervisors lawfully seek the return of the $200,000.00 in the possession of the Ringgold Volunteer Fire Department since it had not been used as originally stated. Mr. Hagerman’s motion was approved by a 4-3 majority vote of the Board with Mr. Snead, Mr. Harville and Mr. Barber opposing.

This motion required a 10-Day Layover. Motion was made by Mr. Harville, seconded by Mr. Barber, to award Daniel & Co. as the apparent low bidder with a bid price of $145,500.00 for the Jail Shower Renovations Project and authorize the Interim County Administrator to sign all necessary documentation, which was unanimously approved by the Board.
