with the Board of Supervisors and in the County's Attorney responses to Ms. Barbara Hudson's
comments at the previous Board meeting concerning what paper was used to advertise the County
Budget public hearing. Mr. Stanhope agreed with Ms. Hudson that all County public hearing should
only be posted in the Chatham Star Tribune and not in the Danville Register and Bee. Mr. Stanhope

his disappointment was with the overall lack of interest by the citizens and not with the Board of

Mr. Jerry Hagerman, of the Callands-Gretna District, made comments supporting the proposed

Committee's recommendation and pass Plan B when they held the required public hearing.

numbers of the online version of the board packet to match those that were at the meetings. Ms.
Flippen, Deputy Clerk to the Board, explained the scanning system assigned a page number to the index
of the packet, which was not done in the printed version, creating the difference in page numbers. Ms.
Flipped said she would start assigning page numbers to the printed packet and that would eliminate the
discrepancy. Ms. Lovelace also stated she was having problems with maps showing up on a timely
basis when pulling up the board packet online. She made further comments she didn't understand the
need for redistricting-it is a very expensive process for the County. She ended with disapproving
comments on the County's advertisement of the budget public hearing posted in the Danville Register
and Bee instead of the Chatham Star Tribune.
Ms. Nancy Smith, of the Tunstall District, disapproved of the County advertising public hearings
in the Danville Register and Bee instead of the Chatham Star Tribune.

beer on Sunday and of liquor by the drink.

by the Virginia Tobacco Commission and the Virginia State Economic Development Partnership. Mr.
Vedder stated the company proposed to build a 50 ton demo unit, located at the Pittsylvania County
Landfill. Enersol was not asking for any funding from the County. At this stage, Enersol was asking the
