The Louisa County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on January 21, 2025, where several key topics were discussed, including community assistance programs, the sale of a county vehicle, and office equipment needs.
One of the highlights of the meeting was the report on the Salvation Army's local fundraising efforts. The office reported a total of $4,628.30 raised during the holiday season, marking the highest amount since 2014. This funding will remain within Louisa County to assist residents facing utility disconnections, eviction notices, and other urgent needs. The Christmas Angel Wish Tree program successfully supported 12 families and 26 children, showcasing the community's commitment to helping those in need.
Additionally, the board discussed the sale of a 2010 Chevy Impala that was inherited from a deceased client with no known beneficiaries. The vehicle, which has over 220,000 miles, is now ready for sale. The board agreed to proceed with a silent bidding process, with bids to be opened at the next meeting on February 18, 2025.
The meeting also addressed the need for a new refrigerator in the office, as the current one is no longer functional. Discussions included potential funding sources for the replacement and the possibility of utilizing existing budget funds.
Overall, the meeting underscored the board's ongoing efforts to support community welfare and manage county resources effectively. The next steps include finalizing the sale of the vehicle and addressing the office equipment needs in the coming weeks.
