Key votes and outcomes recorded in the meeting transcript are listed below.

- Consent agenda: Motion passed by voice vote.

- Appointments: The board approved nominations for two seats on the Board of Social Services (Ronnie Holden and Gail Godwin), made a district appointment to the community college advisory board (continuance noted) and reappointed Beth Only to the local finance board. (Transcript records motion and voice approvals; specific seconders were recorded for some nominations.)

The transcript states a \"total grant award is $999,701\" and references an \"overall budget\" figure of $215,109 in the same discussion; the staff report said local funds from opioid settlement proceeds are being used as front funding. The board moved, seconded and approved acceptance and authorized the county administrator to submit paperwork.

Attorney Doug Kale spoke during public comment on behalf of Ashley Pettit and Triangle Enterprises, saying Pettit offered to buy the property at a December 17 tax auction '2in its present condition' and paid $25,000. Kale said the property contained a house at the time of the sale but the house burned on or about Jan. 4. Triangle Enterprises requested return of the $25,000 deposit, Kale said. Anita Johnson, speaking for Dale Revenmark and Maggie's Eastern Shore Properties, told the board purchasers at the auction were advised that the risk of loss (including fire) transfers to the purchaser at the date of sale and that a petition is pending in circuit court regarding surplus distribution.

County staff requested legal advice in closed session pursuant to the Code of Virginia, and after returning to open session a board member moved to deny the claim, saying the courts, not the board, must set aside a sale. The motion was seconded, and the board voted to deny the claim.

The transcript shows the board concluded it lacked authority to set aside the auction sale and therefore denied the request for refund. No monetary refund to Triangle Enterprises was authorized in the meeting record.

The transcript records that a person is incarcerated and accused in connection with the Jan. 4 fire; Johnson said there is an active petition in circuit court about surplus distribution of sale proceeds.","After closed-session legal review, the Accomack County Board of Supervisors denied a claim by Triangle Enterprises seeking a $25,000 refund tied to a December tax-auction purchase of a property whose house burned after the sale; the board said setting aside the sale is a court function.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6655251,"Accomack supervisors accept state grant, schedule FAA public hearing for Runway 21 turnaround project",187,1587270,1774775,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5418372-ed50f51c1c8ce3d42e347dc452a83f1b&start=1587&end=1774","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5418372-ed50f51c1c8ce3d42e347dc452a83f1b/thumbnail_1587270.jpg","/articles/6655251/Accomack-County/Virginia/Accomack-supervisors-accept-state-grant-schedule-FAA-public-hearing-for-Runway-21-turnaround-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655251-33192a085f3b130f8379576b196d2270/orig.mp4?Expires=1770429059&Signature=dxAPrAah-nVtZKPgHznYh3LuYmoZxxb3WpalKT4CQiaKJ2FhDwgCtEe6mnJ-rk0ewRgt8w2P~rFY9Wlipfwx9TyR3bIj8DZykUBeUnDzsaH1qbV4bzax95M~zQMOO0OMAJNUe7RiroHVZEQChU~K5I-T3KxJgrk7N3aoZNcW9Sk572IcPzQmXm2DQDOiDKKj1-GjEjFggW-hQ2h5qrMpneDfNtzFwwtKMhx7juNJ--xEYQ-S5NdbaGet0tw6mCkTI1yPigdhfRDt~hZAMdnhxms5kLv1D457ExKqFrULO2-xa-QuqqvjufvGmsJALZtGOsipDqiQbW3VqEFl9fwOWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Accomack County supervisors voted July 16 to accept a Virginia Department of Aviation grant not to exceed $63,158 and to schedule a public hearing Aug. 20 to consider a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant for phase 2 of the county airport Runway 21 turnaround project.

Stuart Hall, Public Works and Facilities, briefed the board on the project, describing a planned turnaround area (a \"jug handle\") east of the northern end of Runway 21 that would let aircraft hold outside the runway safety area before takeoff and clear the active runway when a parallel taxiway is not available. Hall said the project had been included in the county's fiscal year 2026 capital budget and that a local match was previously approved in that budget.

Hall said the FAA award amount is $1,461,100 and that the county's local match was approved at $15,000 in the FY26 capital budget but might be as high as $15,380; he said any small overage could be absorbed by the airport's operating budget. Because the FAA grant exceeds 1% of the county's anticipated total expenditures, Hall advised that state law requires a public hearing for acceptance; the board set that hearing for Aug. 20.

A supervisor moved and the board voted to accept the Virginia Department of Aviation grant and to authorize staff to execute necessary documents, and to schedule the FAA public hearing at the August meeting. No further conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes.

Hall told the board the project could reach final steps with the FAA in September or October if the grant moves through the agency approvals on schedule.","The Accomack County Board of Supervisors accepted a Virginia Department of Aviation grant of up to $63,158 and scheduled a public hearing Aug. 20 on a $1,461,100 Federal Aviation Administration grant for phase 2 of the airport Runway 21 turnaround project; county match was budgeted at about $15,000.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6655256,"Onancock Bayside Revitalization group reports progress, cites title-search, contractor and staffing hurdles",559,843560,1402654,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5418372-ed50f51c1c8ce3d42e347dc452a83f1b&start=843&end=1402","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5418372-ed50f51c1c8ce3d42e347dc452a83f1b/thumbnail_843560.jpg","/articles/6655256/Accomack-County/Virginia/Onancock-Bayside-Revitalization-group-reports-progress-cites-title-search-contractor-and-staffing-hurdles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655256-6a6b2910c869439be6054786b541fed3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770429059&Signature=PwPHi0v4SMB~PeFcy3LN8utD7u53upcc1v9PgxVNH8l3Q~5ttFdbWoaDzV-P4bvpuEQz8soD1O1zMnBwObvquAOyZeQ3A-3wyp1PzA~yIcbF39tnOYnB~SF5-YAmMKHtklu61I129Nh203gryCj16qTBPuxI9oYEUg1afR7ViN~sAyTA3G~FsHXW1zfsVSWvplJzECD0u1MDUBh8a0-PjmmRYUePpSryiyExw-MkRcyJw2QMnkc3B48ZEm2YPStwZud-fEQoTe6g743rejrhuqGZPhjqc4ycUBPoYJ53geisdi08scnZCXZo6JE4uO1tPqDXcsRK1mo15wo~ZQvbQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Onancock's Bayside Revitalization (OBR) provided the Accomack County Board of Supervisors an update July 16 on its grant-funded effort to remove 22 derelict structures in the Bayside community.

The presentation, given remotely by Khaled Albi, OBR project manager, said the 18-month project is funded by a $150,000 county grant and follows a memorandum of understanding that lays out steps including title searches, owner consent, asbestos testing/removal, demolition permitting and demolition.

OBR reported that Shore Title Company has completed five title searches and is working on nearly a dozen more. The group said it has engaged the Onancock Volunteer Fire Department to evaluate structures that may be removed by controlled burn and has circulated a request for information to identify qualified demolition contractors. OBR said a local attorney is reviewing an owner-consent letter drafted by the group.

OBR identified several challenges that it said are delaying progress: severe delays and backlogs at local title companies; difficulty locating heirs or other owners who can legally sign consent documents because deed, tax and other records sometimes show different names and owners often live outside the area; a limited number of licensed demolition contractors that meet the project's qualification criteria; and the grant's lack of any line item to pay project staff, which OBR said forces reliance on volunteers.

'2 months ago it took nearly two months to obtain five title searches,' Albi told the board, and locating authentic heirs to sign authorizations has been difficult.

OBR said next steps are to complete the remaining title searches, obtain owner consents where possible, continue contractor identification and secure county demolition permits. Project staff emphasized that asbestos testing and removal would follow owner consent and permitting.

A board member praised the presentation and agreed with OBR's request for grant allowance to cover project management costs.

OBR president Myra Taylor joined Albi for the presentation and, along with project volunteers, fielded board questions about timelines and permitting. No formal action was taken; the item was an informational update.

Published details from the OBR slide deck provided at the meeting indicate five structures were included in the first batch of work and photos of those structures were shown to the board as examples of unsafe conditions in the community.","Onancock's Bayside Revitalization (OBR) told the Accomack County Board of Supervisors it has begun title searches and contractor outreach for a grant-funded program to remove 22 unsafe structures, but reported delays in title searches, trouble locating heirs for owner consent and limited contractor capacity.","actionData","errors"]
