The Patrick County Board of Supervisors convened on August 11, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including public hearings on polling locations, budget amendments, and a transient occupancy tax ordinance.

The meeting began with a public hearing regarding the proposed redistricting ordinance to approve the Russell Creek polling location. However, no members of the public signed up to comment, leading to the hearing's closure. The board then moved to approve the change, with a motion made and seconded. All members present voted in favor, resulting in unanimous approval.

Next, the board held a public hearing to discuss amending the fiscal year 2025-2026 budget. This amendment proposed an increase of $931,101.31 from unspent funds for Patrick County Public Schools. Again, there were no public comments, and the hearing was closed. A motion to approve the budget amendment was made and seconded, with all board members voting in favor.

The final public hearing addressed the transient occupancy tax ordinance. The board previously voted to increase the tax from 5% to 6%, necessitating an amendment to the ordinance. As with the previous hearings, no public comments were received. A motion to amend the ordinance was made and seconded. The vote resulted in a split decision, with three members voting in favor and two against, thus passing the amendment.

Following the public hearings, the meeting transitioned to public comments, allowing citizens to address the board on relevant matters. The chair emphasized the importance of respectful conduct and adherence to guidelines during this segment.

Overall, the meeting concluded with significant decisions made regarding polling locations, budget allocations for education, and adjustments to the transient occupancy tax, reflecting the board's ongoing commitment to addressing community needs and governance.
