The Board of Supervisors held back-to-back meetings on Wednesday (July 7), their last sessions ahead of their regular midsummer break.
Chair Mike Sheridan (Columbia) was away for the week, so Vice Chair Tony O’Brien (Rivanna) took the gavel for the three-and-a-half-hour session. During that time, supervisors voted on two action matters, listened to two presentations, held two public hearings, and sat in for a one-hour closed session.
SMALL PURCHASE POLICY
“Our small purchasing policy now only goes to $50,000,” said Toler.
Under the current county guidelines, anything above the $50,000 threshold requires the county to put out a formal solicitation for competitive bids, while anything below $50,000 requires between 1-4 price quotes depending on the total cost of the purchase.

There are many recent improvements in historic downtown Palmyra, and most of them are due to a group of volunteers who don’t even live there. Much of the work was done by the Palmyra Area Revitalization Committee (PARC), which recently completed its commission from the county board of supervisors.
The improvements include creating a brochure with a guided walking tour of historic Palmyra, installation of signs on historic buildings, installing an information kiosk near Maggie’s House, new information posters outside the old county courthouse, installing five teak benches around the area, and providing a guide and markers for the Rail Trail.
