The Fluvanna Board of Supervisors met on Thursday (Dec. 17) after adjourning its Wednesday meeting due to the ice storm. County Administrator Eric Dahl thanked Fire & Rescue, E-911, VDOT, and both the Lake Monticello Police Department and maintenance department for so quickly clearing the roads of downed trees and debris in the aftermath of the storm.
Staff bonuses
One of the biggest items on the agenda was a state-mandated bonus for sworn sheriffs, deputies, and regional jail officers whose salaries are funded in part by the Virginia Compensation Board. At its special session in the fall, the legislature voted to approve a $500 bonus for those positions and gave localities the funding to cover the payment.

Feeding Fluvanna began in 2017 by a group of people from Grace and Glory Lutheran Church. It is a county wide event to collect food and monetary donations to assist Fluvanna Christian Service Society (FCSS) and the Monticello Area Community Action Agency (MACAA), who work together to manage the local food bank based at the Carysbrook Complex. Our first year the project began simply enough: host a food drive to support our local food bank. As our team began discussing how to make it a success, our project quickly grew into a community-wide event, bringing together 11 local churches eager to share our mission. Working side-by-side with other congregations and local civic groups that heard about our plan, we learned the true meaning of community. Many of us had neighbors in our county that needed help feeding their families and we were determined to help them out.
