1. Rev. James Rose: There will be a celebration of Martin Luther King on January 18, 2026 at 3:00 pm at the Nelson Heritage Center. Everyone is encouraged to participate.
2. Stephen Bayne: The County’s cycle is crucial. The County needs to “live within its means”. The Board needs to equalize the tax rate by dropping the rate to $0.50 per $100 when from $.65 per $100 so as not to increase the amount of real estate tax paid.

EXPLANATION OF BUDGET AMENDMENT
I. Appropriations are the addition of unbudgeted funds received or held by the County for use within the current fiscal year budget. These funds increase the budget bottom line. The General Fund Appropriations of $25,131.78 include requests of (1) $2,659.60 appropriation requested for Sheriff's asset forfeiture funds received in FY26; (2)(3)(4) $2,970.09, $918.00, and $956.25 appropriation requests for Sheriff's DEA Task Force Grant funding for September, October, and November 2025, respectively; (5) $10,364.93 appropriation requested for FY26 Litter Prevention and Recycling Program State grant funds; (6) $813.91 appropriation requested for FY26 OPIOID Abatement Funding received in December 2025; (7) $5,455.00 appropriation requested for Sheriff's fundraising account receipts received in December 2025; and (8) $994.00 appropriation requested for Sheriff's Eticket revenue received in December 2025.

Following approval of these expenditures, the balance of Recurring Contingency will be $26,469.04. The balance of Non-Recurring Contingency will be $424,285.03.
V. PRESENTATIONS:
A. VDOT Report: Mr. Brown reported that VDOT continued to do a lot of maintenance work including replacing pipes throughout the county. The roundabout project proposed for Tanbark and Route 151 is ready for construction to begin. Supervisor Lanahan said that was a major issue to North District and the residents did not want it. He pointed out that the Board approved the project while Mr. Harvey was not attending meetings. Mr. Brown said that the roundabout was not approved by VDOT because of the density of traffic but because there had been 11 crashes over a four year period and the line of sight issues caused a major safety hazard that the roundabout could cure. Speed is also an issue and the roundabout would have a traffic calming effect and may further deter truckers. Mr. Brown said that the statistics from VDOT showed that roundabouts in such situations dropped the risks of accidents by 82%. Mr. Brown said that the county might have to incur a cost of $128,000 if the roundabout is canceled as a result of planning costs incurred. Supervisor Ligon indicated that after the success of roundabout at 151 and 250 that she has changed her mind and is now a big fan of roundabouts. She did not think she would change her vote. It was suggested that Mr. Brown meet with Supervisor Lenahan to go over the area and where the roundabout would be situated. Supervisor Ligon further suggested that Supervisor Lenahan look at the safety studies given to the Board before he came on. The maximum speed limit would be between 25 and 35 miles per hour in the circle. Supervisor Reed said he didn’t expect his vote to change and didn’t see the need for another VDOT presentation.
Supervisor Ligon reported that the passing zone on Route 56 seemed to be inviting very risky behavior. She has personally observed some very close calls. It’s at the intersection of Bustertown. Mr. Brown said he would look into that issue. Supervisor Reed suggested that he and Mr. Brown get together what someone from Valley Green, Mr. Washburn and Wintergreen to discuss the possible location of crosswalks for Nellysford. Mr. Brown said VDOT has been looking at the situation. He reported to Supervisor Rutherford that the hold up on the cross walks in Lovingston was the availability of the contractors, the cross walks have been approved. He is hoping to have the contractors next month. Mr. Brown further said that the sidewalk replacement in Lovingston has received highway approval. Supervisor Rutherford thanked Mr. Brown for the pipes and asked about the Whippoorwill Pothole and reiterated his prior request that it be repaired.
B. Preliminary 2026 Reassessment Analysis: Ms. McGarry presented the report summarizing the assessor’s 2026 appraisals of the real estate in Nelson County. There were 610 appeals filed by property owners for 810 properties. Four hundred and fifty six (456) of the individual properties were owned by county residents (including those with Amherst mailing addresses) which was 56.3% of the total. Three hundred fifty four (354) of the properties were owned by non-county residents (43.7% of the total). After the hearings, the valuations of the real estate (by categories) were reduced as follows:
Values Before Hearings Values After Hearings
Agricultural 1,223,038,900 $1,219,932,000
Commercial 156,599,700 $156,215,000
Residential 3,395,284,500 $3,379,478,300
Multi Family 14,659,500 $14,541,200
Total 4,789,582,600 $4,770,166,500
Difference $19,416,100 41%
Once the total value is reduced by the 2025 tax year Land Use Discount and Current Elderly and Disabled Tax Relief discount is applied, the total value of the county taxable real estate is $4,265,402,098. At the current real estate tax rate, the reappraised valuations would result in tax revenue increase of $6,645,614 over the 2025 tax revenue. If the tax rate is reduced to .495/$100 reduces the increased tax revenue over 2025 is $34,240.
C. Preliminary FY27 Budget Information and Proposed Schedule:
Ms. McGarry reviewed in a power point presentation (see select parts below) the expected additional income to the county from sources other than real estate taxes, the potential additional income if new taxes were imposed and the anticipated funding required for the outstanding projects already approved by the Board. She followed the presentation below with a proposed calendar relating to setting the budget and determining the sources and rates of tax revenue. Supervisor Reed requested that Ms. McGarry circulate to the current Board the presentation from 2018 on then proposed admission tax. Ms. McGarry said that she would find it give it to the Board. Supervisor Reed also asked the upcoming capital improvement project and capital expenditure information be made available for review prior to the next meeting (February 10, 2026). A public hearing on proposed tax rates would need to be authorized by March 24 (see proposed calendar) and the April 10 meeting would be the public hearing for the tax rates. Public hearings notice cap the rates that can be adopted but the Board can always adopt a lower rate.
1. Registrar’s Office – Jackie Harris provided the first office budget presentation. It was her 13th day on the job. The submitted base line budget is an overview. The numbers have not changed much over the year. Most increases are the result of inflation. Training costs are up. The expenditures listed include state training required for new people or people being reappointed to their positions. The office is looking for part time voting machine technicians. The County should be getting new voting systems which will also require training. If redistricting occurs, the office is hoping that Congressional and Senatorial primaries will be both be moved to August so as to allow them to fall together. Pending Supreme Court cases may affect the November election timelines. Supervisor Ligon asked for a “worst case” scenario budget depending on changes in caused by court rulings or legislation.
2. Building Inspections – Jeremy Marrs reported that the budget is identical to last year. Last year, his office came in under budget. He is asking for an additional $1,000 for training so that he can obtain some additional certifications. Currently staff have 3 exams per person for certifications which are scheduled. Mr. Marrs noted that it would be nice if they pass each exam on the first try but there is additional costs if retesting is required. The vehicle request reflects a stripped down version of the vehicle model. He also pointed out there are more demands on the office as construction is up. There is an 88 structure development due to be under construction shortly. Superintendent Ligon asked if the offices vehicles are retired when they reach a certain mileage. The answer is “no”, it depends on the vehicle.
3. Sheriff’s Office – Sheriff Mark Embrey thanked the Board for all their past financial and moral support. Some of the proposed budget increases are due to the uniform changes, increased cost of and supplies, and gear. He has cut back on some purchases this year to stay within budget. The biggest cost change resulted from additional training and related food and housing costs associated with the training. Costs for attending training (the actual class) were previously paid by the providing agency but no more. Police are required to complete 40 hours annually of “in service” training every two years to remain certified.
Sheriff Embrey highlighted some of his community outreach programs. COP Camp is very popular and costs $20 per camper. It is two weeks in June. The attendees are in two different sessions based on age. The Sheriff’s office cost over runs have been met because of private/public donations. He is requesting a “Community Programs and Events” line item in the budget so that the Cop Camp (June) as well as Nelson Night Out (July), and the Senior Program (August) are covered.
Under the proposed budget, the Sheriff’s office will replace four vehicles. There is a used Chevrolet Silverado to be purchased from the vehicle distributor will be used daily for law enforcement and that will relieve the Sheriff’s office from borrowing a vehicle from Animal Control. Sheriff Embrey noted that the Sheriff’s office has been bombarded with phone calls from vendors and some from the public about installing cameras in school zones. In response to a question about canines on the force, Sheriff Embrey stated that the office still has three dogs that came with/are owned by the employee who handles them. The employee is retiring and the canines are going with him. The office will be looking for more dogs for 2027 that will be purchased and trained. The dogs and the cost of their training is about $20,000. Sherrif Embrey thinks he can pay for the replacement dogs and train them through agency generated revenue.
4. Parks and Recreation – Jerry West from Nelson County Parks and Recreation is looking to create and operate an afterschool program at Rockfish River Elementary and Tye River Elementary having 11-12 children per program. This is coming after 2 years of evaluation. They think the program to be self-sustainable (pay for itself). Parks and Recreation is looking childcare both during the school year and the summer utilizing a part time childcare coordinator. An agency such as Nelson County Parks and Recreation is not required to meet the employee certifications requirements imposed on a nongovernmental agency. The $30,000 MACAA receives would cover the cost of the coordinator. Dr. Hester concurs with the decision to bring after school childcare “in house.” The Parks and Recreation can bring in other activities into the after school program and children could participate who might not otherwise be able to. Activities like soccer practices could be incorporated in the program. To permit children to fully benefit from program, Parks and Recreation wants to have the funding in place by April so that parents can sign up starting in April of 2026. Mr. Marrs wants to have more on site supervisors so one person (Jake) is not responsible for all of the sites. He expects the cost to be about $8,600 per year for Saturday supervision. Parks and Recreation is currently paying $35 hourly for head referees and $34 per hour for assistant referees. Mr. Marrs wants the student to staff ratio to be no greater than 10/1.
The remainder of the budget and expected revenue was discussed. Employees are working on additional certifications and recertifications. A grant covered much of those costs in the 2025-2026 budget.
VI. NEW & UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Real Estate Tax Exemption Applications (R2025-87) – Continued from 12/16/25: The Boards questions regarding the property finished by Piedmont Habitat for Humanity should be listed for sale soon and this will be a non-issue. Wintergreen Nature Foundation has purchased an additional fourteen hundred plus acres that is already in a permanent conservation easement. Synchronicity is asking for tax exempt status because they got it in 2002 but provided no additional justification. The Board voted to 4-1 (Supervisor Reed dissenting) to address each applicant separately. As a result of the votes, the following was adopted:
“RESOLVED, pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of §58.1-3605 and §58.1-3651 of the Code of Virginia, 1950 as amended, and Sec. 11-185 of the Code of the County of Nelson Virginia, the Nelson County Board of Supervisors hereby approves the triennial real estate tax exemption applications submitted by Wintergreen Nature Foundation and the Piedmont Habitat for Humanity, Inc. as presented was unanimously approved.”
The request for the tax exempt status for Synchronicity Foundation was tabled pending receipt of advice from the County Attorney and additional information from Synchronicity Foundation justifying its request for tax exempt status.

This change was approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board at their December 9, 2025, meeting and has been incorporated into the Smart Scale Technical Guide and is effective for this upcoming round of Smart Scale. This change means we are now in a rural category in which the highest weighted scoring factor is safety; which will make our applications more competitive.

J. Seven Stars Music Festival: A festival re-cap zoom meeting was held with all stakeholders involved to discuss the overall coordination of the October 2025 festival with everyone noting their respective areas of coordination went very well and minor suggestions for improvement affecting the public were discussed including: better communication on traffic plan changes made in the field and of traffic patterns for the local community, more upfront training for site dispatchers on their system, inclusion of more Nelson County branding and vendors where possible, looking at ways to mitigate sound travel concerns, and County-level improvement of public dissemination of festival information.

2. Board Reports:
Supervisor Rutherford: There was no Thomas Jefferson District Planning Commission meeting in December. He participated in the joint Seven Stars call where issues with disruptions with the school buses and school traffic were raised. The 2026 dates are for the Seven Stars festival October 9-11. He congratulated the County staff for the good job getting Christmas lights out.
Supervisor Lanahan: He did not yet have any Board assignments in December.
Supervisor Reed: participated in the Seven Stars check in call. The comments were overwhelmingly positive and no arrests. The Service Authority did meet in December. The Service Authority has been tracking Stoney Creek, Nellysford, and the Rockfish area concerning why they are not under the Service Authority and how that might be changed.
Supervisor Parr: Emergency Medical Services did not meet in December. He inquired about what happened with a truck backing into the library. Ms. McGarry explained that law enforcement was investigating and may have tracked down the driver. The damage to the library does not appear to be structural and the insurance claims adjustor has been called to initiate estimates on repairs.
Supervisor Ligon: The December Planning Commission meeting was with the Board of Supervisors. She had nothing of substance to report.
3. Appointments:
Supervisor Rutherford moved to appoint Laura Wert for the East District Representative for the Social Services Advisory Board. She was unanimously approved.
Supervisor Reed moved to appoint Sue Woodson and Sara Aldridge for the Central District Representatives for the Social Services Advisory Board. The Board debated whether it was previously agreed that the Board would pick only one representative per district. No one seconded the Supervisor Reed’s motion.
Supervisor Ligon noted that psychology finding the larger a governing group is, the less likely is that anyone willl actually take action. Supervisor Reed said this is an advisory board, not a board of directors with a decision making authority. Supervisore Reed declinded to select just one candidate. Supervisor Ligon moved to appoint Katherine Baron-Stump for the South District Representative for the Social Services Advisory Board. She was unanimously approved. Supervisor Lanahan moved to appoint Katherine Rutherford for the North District

Supervisor Parr complimented Ms.McGarry for the interviews which he sat in on that lead to this hiring of Grace Deshong as director of the Departmment of Social Services.
4. Correspondence: Supervisor Rutherford said that a 3-4% annual increase in actual property taxes paid has traditionally been the rate of the increases. Supervisor Parr concurred
5. Directives: Supervisor Rutherford asked Supervisor Lenahan how he felt about Admissions Taxes. Supervisor Lenahan indicated that he generally liked the idea as it is imposed on “out of county” visitors utilizing Nelson County amenities. Supervisors Parr and Lenahan asked what discretion the ordinance could allow exemptions for some groups based on the activity or size of groups etc. Ms. McGarry said she would pull together that information.
