2 Joint Meeting
Appomattox Town Council & Appomattox County Board of Supervisors August 24, 2010
The Water Committee will meet on August 25, 2010. Aileen Ferguson will present the timeline for the project. Mayor Harvey will be unable to attend the meeting but is looking forward to good things.
Boundary Line Adjustment Mr. Overstreet (County Attorney) advised that the County wanted to make sure that all the property owners affected were in agreement before proceeding. That appears to be the case. If this proceeds to be a voluntary agreement between each governing body then each body would enter into an agreement of general terms and each would be required to hold a public hearing.
On a motion by Councilmember Mayberry, seconded by Councilmember McDearmon, Council voted to adjourn at 6:30 p.m. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.
On a motion by Supervisor Conrad, seconded by Supervisor Small, the Board voted to adjourn at 6:30 p.m. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.
