Gloucester, VA Board of Supervisors Meeting, October 7th, 2014 YouTube Video With Notes





This is the Board of Supervisors October 7th, 2014 meeting.  We have posted it on YouTube in order to avoid the streaming issues that have been found on the county site.  You can embed this video and share it the same way as you can any other YouTube video so feel free to use it any way you wish.


In the July meeting I spoke during the citizen comment period and gave the BOS a list of things they need to do to make Gloucester County "The Land of the Life Worth Living."


Until they fix the items  I think they need to be graded on their progress.  So I will grade them on the five items.  Maybe the School Board needs to be graded on the same items; I would but untl they get above a “F” I will not waste my time.  I will keep track so we can present your grade when your next election comes up.

If any of the boad members feels the grades are not fair I will consider their appeal.


1. Integrity at the Board of Supervisors level
Quit voting  for things that benefit you over the county.

Comment:             Aug - Dr. Orth did not vote for Ernest Lane.  Absent that night.
                        Sep - Why do you think more government intrusion into our lives is better?
                        Oct – Not voting to send the rquest to the State Representatives for mandintory sewer hookup was good, however keeping it on the agenda was not good.

2. Hold Department Heads and Supervisors to high standards and get rid of them when they break the rules.  You cannot hold lower level employees to high standards if they are not practiced at the higher levels.

Comment:        
Aug - Nothing has been fixed.
            Sept - Allowed department heads and supervisors to get away with not answering your questions.
            Oct – Based on Mr. Meyer’s action to hold county administratior accountable the Board was in line to get an A.  However, Mr. Hutson and Chriscoe wanted to allow carry over and new funding to proceed without going through correct procedures.  The county employees did a better job presenting their requests and reports to you.

3. Fire employees on the spot if they use vehicles for personal business, except in the case of an emergency and the employee better contact the supervisors before the supervisor contacts them.  No shopping, banking, and fast food restaurants in county vehicles.  If trash is found in the vehicle from these places the employee needs to receive the same punishment.

Comment:
Sept - Apears employees are not going out to eat, however, they are still finding places to go to not work, cruising the beach.  Many different vehicles, departments cruising not including those that were actually there for work.   One month does not show a fix but it is trending in the correct direction.
Oct _ Why does Jeff Stillman still have a job?

4.  Quit wasting taxpayers money.  The Board of Supervisions and all county employees need to be good stewards of the resources.

Comment:
 Aug - Dr. Orth did not vote for Aberdeen Creek.  Absent that night.
Sept - Continuing to make rules that cost taxpayers money.  Government intrusion into property rights.  Taking property from land owners on Rt. 17 without compensation.  Restricting property owners us of their property.
Oct - Making the county come back to the board with detailed request for new funding and not allowing it to go forward with the carry over fund request.

5.  Bring County Ordinances into compliance with Virginia Code.  Mr. Wilmot can help you with this if not consider hiring a competent county attorney.

Comment: 
Aug – Who told you voting for Ernest Lane was a good idea?
            Sept -  Mr. Winebarger wanting to add leash law to subdivision and people did not want it, but not willing to fix County ordinances.  Increasing liability to the county being sued for illegal laws.

            Oct – Why does Mr. Wilmont present changes to the County ordinance that have no bases in VA Code and continue to have ordinances on the books that will make you “Criminals with no regard for the ‘Rule of Law’”.

I am a tax payer and you need to held accountable to “We the People”.

I have a voter registration card and know how to use it.
Respectfully submitted by

P.S.  You did a good job holding presenters to higher standards and thanking them when they did a good job.  I like the changes I saw in this meeting keep up the work.
