\"The city council passed unanimously to add $2,000,000 in new USDOT Build America grant funds,\" said Dr. Newbill, the City of Richmond representative, noting the additional funds add to technical assistance and will support advancing a downtown transit hub project. Dr. Newbill said the city asked staff member Moore Clark to help with the downtown transit hub project and noted the region had received a $6,500,000 award from the authority to the transit hub.

Separately, an authority member reported that CBTA allocations for a highway extension and interchange work in New Kent have supported regional economic development: a Target distribution center is planned at that exit and is expected to add roughly 500 employees; combined with another employer in the area, the member said about 800 new jobs will result from recent development near the improved interchange. The member also reported that a large travel‑center (Bucky's) will break ground this summer and is expected to open in 2027.

Those remarks were delivered as part of member comments and were not the subject of formal authority action at the meeting. No additional project approvals or funding decisions were made during the March 28 session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CVTA Meeting 3-28-25","oneSentenceSummary","A City of Richmond representative thanked the authority for its $6.5 million award to a downtown transit hub and noted an additional $2 million in USDOT Build America grant funds approved by Richmond city council; other members reported private-sector investments in New Kent tied to prior CVTA funding.","taxTitle","Central Virginia Transportation Authority, Boards and Commissions, Executive, Virginia","taxId",36461,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6034249,"CVTA staff reports progress on working capital reserve, interest earnings ahead of FY24",100,850000,950000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335058-59d86f99fca34d63ad3baf427c966086&start=850&end=950","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335058-59d86f99fca34d63ad3baf427c966086/thumbnail_850000.jpg","/articles/6034249/Virginia/CVTA-staff-reports-progress-on-working-capital-reserve-interest-earnings-ahead-of-FY24","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6034249-985816bc476b3dee7a1a76206bdb1315/orig.mp4?Expires=1770793193&Signature=m1w5D~j0XhTX-Jf-rP2xPkaLugqBZQaxNJe4q8YDOA1xPqLq98u6hfmC01boMyHWxETaYZHB1LMFVHB7FWbcrzt0Y02vjcd6Xbt1yuvKNf0f4MFDdbEDQ8Yyn0NVENatiHnWlQFY~Oo54ChMkLaRGnRo3x~QATKpiEdFLvVZPQ3UNGn5rz0ysjx7Bev53ZaeXbqapMTRKcchmVl-agyaqZIHXwG7CZbqVydUv0b4i2VciyfMeNBplg-n9vYTn7S6YcAYIMH0e1WWpGgRvleEL6ih21kMI-ZmqShhg~tJbbY8AisQczlT2In3RHJ~oRqq1yo71Tbedu4IXvxC3Nw9fQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the March 28 meeting staff provided the authority with regular finance and investment updates showing progress toward the authority’s working capital reserve target and stronger interest earnings year to date.

\"Our required amount to our goal for the working capital reserve is $18,000,000, and we are already currently at $12.03 million,\" said Mr. Carlson, the staff presenter, noting the update follows a refreshed reporting format. Carlson said the authority is tracking allocations to the working capital reserve and additional interest income being added to that balance.

Staff also highlighted November tax activity that produced higher receipts and outflows and said FY25 interest earnings remain ahead of FY24 by just under $1 million. The investment portfolio continues to follow the authority’s short-term investment pattern and staff said they remain in regular communication with the fiscal agent in Chesterfield County.

No budget appropriations or funding commitments were approved at the meeting; staff said the portfolio remains flexible so funds can be committed when project needs arise.","CBTA staff reported the authority's working capital reserve is growing toward its $18 million goal and that interest earnings for FY25 are above FY24 levels, with November tax receipts showing an uptick.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6034254,"CVTA adopts consolidated electronic meetings policy to mirror FOIA changes",210,526000,736000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335058-59d86f99fca34d63ad3baf427c966086&start=526&end=736","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335058-59d86f99fca34d63ad3baf427c966086/thumbnail_526000.jpg","/articles/6034254/Virginia/CVTA-adopts-consolidated-electronic-meetings-policy-to-mirror-FOIA-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6034254-1387cf2b5ec3a72d33847597de6a4e7f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770793193&Signature=a8FvcsSQ6rllnvZEfASlUdCeAYhCIjsBxavpua7~thIOeK49NPmpKZ6aXxzjUR6hk-DDUfyrnEIKaEYlxPSx~KfMzieA5atqv4TInSKy6tRd~~IJh9RKXGm7GuwlQaoHoqv3PvaIV3m4hb4ZXkNIBWtCqqefodx50Dom0dunSp5f2Z2AdR17tBvCt1ajUXC24VMrSbKgzyv12k6XeexQHZ8oMrKPLSs-DWi0BOkNYe-5azvmSxa~Ns2Jfa-7fzRCF2uDqPK-A9IshywrFXgcfTMk5IOVrAfWjxxPf-fvwilDksSvyVHQxFrczEBxj7xDl8vWO-9tiTkatHPCdIHmbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Central Virginia Transportation Authority on March 28 adopted an updated policy consolidating its rules for electronic communications and remote participation into a single policy that rescinds prior emergency and remote‑participation policies.

\"This is a revision of your existing policies, pursuant to legislation that was passed by the General Assembly last year that codified certain changes to FOIA,\" said Mr. Gregory, a staff member, explaining the draft policy to the authority. He said the policy will return annually for renewal and that future minor edits would be brought to the board.

The consolidated policy permits individual members to participate remotely for reasons allowed under FOIA and also provides a framework for meetings in which all members participate remotely under defined compliance measures. During questions, Vice Chair Barbara Nelson asked whether a remote‑participation request must be made by phone; Gregory said, \"As long as the request is submitted, it doesn't require it to be done in a certain way,\" and that the request may be emailed or forwarded through the executive director so long as it reaches the chair and the full body later approves the authorization.

Adoption was carried by roll-call vote recorded in the meeting log as unanimous. Staff said the policy will be presented each year for renewal and revised as needed to reflect changes in state law.","The authority adopted a single policy governing meetings held via electronic communications, replacing separate emergency and remote-participation policies and aligning the authority with state Freedom of Information Act changes enacted last year.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6034259,"CVTA approves FY26 hearing date, confirms remote participation and adopts updated virtual-meetings policy",246,317000,563000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335058-59d86f99fca34d63ad3baf427c966086&start=317&end=563","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335058-59d86f99fca34d63ad3baf427c966086/thumbnail_317000.jpg","/articles/6034259/Virginia/CVTA-approves-FY26-hearing-date-confirms-remote-participation-and-adopts-updated-virtual-meetings-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6034259-1698448ad8a5ae54ae79afc1ef80e946/orig.mp4?Expires=1770793193&Signature=UFpOH1I4bwXlxYW6hpjC~IHNadbybWj6PzpCox2F-ww0~fp5crhoj~xWis-38b~Vx8zeQdG7K5shUsG~90LIG~6A8xeO6SJkITpnC4VVzhfaW9mULfQzdW~PgEvHXi3iwwzTOcuRomPuuHFWoHcJ3kMZwzKB17UU7MIx9SuSxx-lwvCqQnxb7SNVK~a9~zoIlJpX~NlkQIQT-fxR-5gMKpJ8fiXlwAWJixdtrqKqmCsVn9Tszij9hV8jAR1cXsdXlN1qpZJQD9-Ds-NdMqUuMXRSmarTYgp86ZsYHC7PLD2kzxlOLPV68GlzDCX94VGG0cbsRk50FeXnPkm5xPt24A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Central Virginia Transportation Authority on March 28 approved several procedural items, including advertisement of a public hearing on its proposed fiscal year 2026 administrative and operating budget, confirmation of one remote participant, approval of minutes from Jan. 31 and adoption of an updated policy governing electronic meetings.

The authority voted to advertise a public review period for the FY26 administrative and operating budget to run April 10–24, 2025 and to hold the public hearing on April 25, 2025 as part of the authority’s regular meeting. The motion to authorize advertisement was made by Mr. Curl and approved by voice vote.

The board confirmed remote participation by Barbara Nelson, who the record shows was participating remotely because her principal residence is more than 60 miles from the meeting location. The confirmation was approved by voice vote with no opposition.

The board also approved minutes from its Jan. 31 meeting by voice vote.

Separately, the authority adopted a consolidated electronic-communications/remote-meetings policy meant to reflect amendments to the state Freedom of Information Act enacted by the General Assembly last year. That policy rescinds the authority’s prior separate emergency- and remote-participation policies and consolidates them into a single policy; adoption was carried by roll-call vote (recorded as unanimous on the meeting log).

Votes at a glance:
- Confirm remote participation for Barbara Nelson (reason: principal residence >60 miles). Outcome: approved (voice vote; no opposition). Motion text: “Include Miss Nelson for remote participation.”
- Approve minutes, Jan. 31, 2025. Outcome: approved (voice vote).
- Authorize advertisement of public hearing for FY26 administrative and operating budget; public review period April 10–24, 2025; hearing April 25, 2025. Outcome: approved (motion by Mr. Curl; voice vote).
- Adopt updated electronic communications/remote meetings policy (consolidates prior policies; mirrors state law changes). Outcome: approved (roll-call vote; meeting record shows all members voting aye).

The actions were procedural and required no additional appropriations at the meeting. The consolidated electronic-meetings policy will return to the authority for annual renewal and for any future technical edits the authority staff or counsel propose.","At its March 28 meeting the Central Virginia Transportation Authority approved a public hearing schedule for the fiscal year 2026 administrative and operating budget, confirmed remote participation for a member, approved minutes, and adopted a consolidated electronic meetings policy aligning with recent state FOIA changes.","actionData","errors"]
