A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUPPORT OF THE S.H.O.R.E.
ACT
VIRGINIA: At a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Pittsylvania
County, Virginia, held in the General District Courtroom of the Edwin R. Shields Courthouse
Addition in Chatham, Virginia on Monday, March 7, 2016, the following resolution was
presented and adopted:
WHEREAS, Congressman Robert Hurt has introduced into the House of Representatives,
House Resolution 2929 ( "HR 2929 "), known as the Supporting Home Owner Rights
Enforcement Act ( "S.H.O.R.E. Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Tri- County Lake Administration Commission (`TLAC "), at its meeting
held on February 9, 2016, passed a resolution authorizing TLAC to submit to Congress a letter in
support of HR 2929. TLAC further suggested that the four (4) TLAC Counties sign letters in
support of the Bill; and
WHEREAS, through the relicensing process for the Smith Mountain Lake hydro project,
as well as the amendments to the Shoreline Management Plan, the localities were hampered by
the failure of the Federal Power Act to minimize the infringement on the exercise and enjoyment
of property rights; and
WHEREAS, because of this the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has failed to give
due consideration of private property and private use and enjoyment of land adjoining the Smith
Mountain Lake Project.
Now, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors
does hereby approve this resolution and authorize the County Administrator to prepare a letter to
be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors; and further directs the County
Administrator to forward the letter to the sponsors of the Bill, the Clerk of the House of
Representatives, and to the Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Adopted this 7u' day of March, 2016.
