Gloucester, Virginia Board of Supervisors Nov. 2014 Meeting And Report Card




BOS Report Card Nov 2014



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.



Note: This report card changed based on what happened after the meeting  and not to the positive.



1. Integrity at the Board of Supervisors level

Quit voting  or things that benefit you over the county.  Follow the US and VA Constitution, VA code and rule of law.

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.

                        Nov – Mr. Hutson said it best I paraphrase: actions of overzellous employes do reflect opon the board.

           



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 administratioraccountable the Board was in line to get an A.  However, Mr. Hutson and Chriscoewanted 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.

            Nov –I have to wonder about Ms. Garton’s management skills and her ability to pick the correct people for department head positions.



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 sruising 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?

Nov – In my openion it apears you have one department that believe it is ok to go after personal vendetas and not provide service to the public.





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