Grayson County Board of Supervisors
Budget Work Session
April 2, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.
Members attending in person: Michael S. Hash, Mary E. Dickenson Tomlinson, Michael
B. Watson (arrived at 3:10 p.m.), C.S. “Sandy” Cunningham, and Paul G. Richardson
Staff attending in person: Stephen A. Boyer, Nikkie C. Edwards, and Linda C. Osborne
IN RE: OPENING BUSINESS
Supervisor Cunningham made the motion to approve the agenda; duly seconded by
Supervisor Tomlinson. Motion carried 4-0.
IN RE: PRESENTATION
Mr. Gary Hash, Sheriff, Grayson County addressed the Board noting:
- This proposal isn’t designed to expand operations, but preserve the
stability/safety/effectiveness of essential public services in our county
- This request addresses fundamental component of public safety – personnel –
reductions in this area don’t result in proportional savings – they introduce
operational risk, increase long-term costs and compromise service delivery
- Salary adjustments reflect two realities: state requirements and local workforce
conditions – the 2% salary increase is a state-mandated adjustment and not
discretionary – it’s necessary to remain compliant with state compensation
standards and to prevent pay compression within the agency
- There’s also a demonstrated need to strengthen both the dispatcher and office
manager positions – dispatch operations are the backbone of emergency
responses, handling call intake/prioritization/coordination of all field units – as
call volumes/service expectations increase, the current staffing model places
dispatcher in a constant reactive posture, increasing the risk of
burnout/errors/delayed response coordination – increasing dispatcher staffing
ensures adequate coverage/reduces overtime dependency/improves overall
response efficiency/accuracy
- Office Manager position have grown beyond the traditional administrative duties
– carries significant responsibility for records management/reporting
compliance/civil process coordination/grant writing/internal operation support –
this role has now expanded into a critical operational function – additional
support in this area ensures compliance is maintained/workflows remain
efficient/sworn personnel aren’t diverted from law enforcement duties to
handle administrative backlogs – in rural jurisdictions, workforce challenges are
magnified – limited labor pools and competition from nearby agencies/private

Page 5 of 83

employers make even modest pay disparities significant – these adjustments are
necessary corrections to sustain staffing levels/ensure uninterrupted service.
- The request for a part-time animal control position addresses a clear workload
imbalance – the current ACO responsibilities extend well beyond animal-related
calls – in addition to managing animal control cases, this position also supports
the civil division and is responsible for inmate transports/extraditions – these
combined duties significantly expand workload demands/limit the officer’s
ability to respond promptly/effectively across all assigned functions – animal
control calls alone are time-intensive and often unpredictable – when combined
with civil process responsibilities/transport obligations, the current structure
creates operational strain/delays in service/increased liability exposure – a parttime position would provide necessary relief/improve response times/allow for
more efficient allocation of duties without the cost of a full-time position.
- In closing this budget request is for maintaining operational readiness/ensuring
compliance with state requirement/addressing known service demands – the
recommended reductions, particularly in salaries and fleet, would not simply
reduce
expenditures-they
would
shift
costs
into
overtime/maintenance/liability/diminished service quality – our responsibility is
to provide reliable, consistent public safety services – this request ensures we
can continue to meet that obligation without interruption or increased risk
Discussion took place regarding ACO and Sheriff Hash noted that in October 1 employee
will be retiring; Deputy Haga would transfer out of ACO - the part time hire would
attend the June 2026 ACO training, then would be ready by October 2026 to move to
full-time. Also discussed: call increases and dispatchers/shifts.
IN RE: OLD BUSINESS

CSA Additional Funding Request – Mr. Boyer spoke and noted the below charts
showing an idea of the increases from FY2024, FY2025 and FY2026 – Supervisor
Hash noted the additional funding request of $550K would get us through this
fiscal year (2026) – Mrs. Edwards noted that all the money may not be spent
that’s been committed and what is not spent would go back into the general
fund – more discussion took place and Mrs. Edwards noted that the money
would come from savings in jail cost (care of prisoners). Supervisor Tomlinson
made the motion to proceed with additional funding; duly seconded by
Supervisor Richardson. Motion carried 4-1 with Supervisor Cunningham voting
nay.

Page 6 of 83

VDOT SSYP – Recommendations – Mr. Boyer noted and email from James
Schwartz, VDOT Residency Administrator/Wytheville and noted if VDOT
proceeds with hickory Ln and Walnut Ln (for FY 32 allocation), that will leave
$436,692 remaining to add additional projects from the Route Reviews List

Page 7 of 83

(below). After some discussion, this was tabled to the April 9th, 2026 regular
meeting to give the members time to look over it.

IN RE: BUDGET WORKSESSION – GENERAL OPERATION FY2027 BUDGET
Mr. Boyer covered the following:
Recap of prior year
 Broadband Project is still under way, should be completed in FY2027
 Fries Filter project is completed - $192K and check will go out this week
 Health Insurance costs continue to escalate – will be looking at other carriers
 Hurricane Relief Recovery – woody debris just started – will look to get list of
areas that will be worked on out to the Board – also mentioned block grants
Priorities - Focus
 Emergency Medical Services in Grayson County – strategic resources (future of
EMS, volunteers, how to fund)
 Broadband and 911 Stabilization – on good track for broadband on west end –
have had a bump with the Point Lookout HOA whom we worked with for over a
year to work things out – when Gigabeam & Lingo originally came to the county,
the county allowed them to place equipment on the towers which turns out is a
violation of the easement – HOA has demanded the county remove Gigabeam &
Lingo equipment – which means that some citizens that have service through

Page 8 of 83

Gigabeam & Lingo will loose service in the next couple of months. Shane
Prescott is looking at a couple of places that we could possibly place a couple of
towers to get service back to those citizens affected. Deadline to remove the
equipment from the towers is May 2026. Tom Revels is also meeting with
citizens affected. More discussion took place.
 Additional revenue sources outside of property taxes – capturing new revenue
 Population decline – over ¼ of our population is over 60 years old – funding for
schools are based on the number of children
Notable Increases
 Schools: Required Local Effort – increased $669K that the county has to come up
with this year
 Reassessment - $500K which is coming next year – mandated to do every 6 years
– assessment will not be adjusted until the reassessment is complete – have
discussed with Mt. Rogers Regional Partnership about joining with other
localities to help split the cost. We are required by code to put out an RFP for
this.
Mrs. Edwards covered the following:
FY27 – Budget – Where Do We Stand?
 Revenue: $30,450,019
Expenses: $31,033,899
Difference: $(583,880)
 By code, budget must be balanced so there’s still work to be done
Summary of Revenue

Currently we do not have a grant writer – we have several county employees that do
write some along with Emergency Services and fire and rescue – would like to have a
grant writer – we did put it out for advertisement. Also discussed fuel cost adjustments
due to the rising cost of fuel – staff is keeping an eye on it – the county does have fuel
cards through Mansfield which gives us a discount on our fuel.

Page 9 of 83

Expense Comparison

Mrs. Edwards went over the expense comparison and handed out a categories list
showing what is under each category – this chart compares the amended budget
through the March 12, 2026, board meeting to our current estimate. Mr. Boyer noted
that under Debt Service, we still have a debt service on Wildwood – payment is lower
due to “Plucked” operating out of Wildwood Commerce Park now (debt service is
shared with Carroll/Grayson/Galax. Mrs. Edwards noted that the total increase is
roughly $292,571, which is not bad considering the mandated increases are reflected in
this total – our debt perspective is low – we should be done with Grayson Highlands
School in approximately 2036 and we still have roughly $4M to go on Wildwood.
Discussion took place regarding interest rates on debt service.
Percent by Category

Page 10 of 83

Direction taken to date
 Reduced staffing – additional cuts will affect services
 Reduced spending
 Increased levy by 4 cents last year
Supervisor Hash noted that we are living in “post covid” and had that money – covid
money is now gone – discussion took place on what the covid money went towards.
Future Discussion Needed
 How to balance increasing inflationary cost?
 Thoughts from the Board on the future – investments interested in – other ideas
Supervisor Cunningham noted that the Solid Waste Authority has revised how long is
left for the usage of the landfill in Carroll County – originally projected usage 35 years
out (2077); now it’s projected usage is 22 years out (2048) so this needs to be kept on
our radar since the next landfill will be in Grayson County – discussion took place
regarding the property for the landfill.
FY2027 Budget
 Next Budget Meeting 4/16/26 – PSA & Special Projects
Mr. Boyer recognized Mr. Randy Lineberry with Fries Fire/Rescue, Brad Nester with
Independence Fire along with another gentleman and thanked them for attending the
meeting. Mr. Lineberry talked about the accident on Rt. 89 – thanked Board for all their
help – all agencies do need help with grants/grant writing; they applied for 4 and only
received 1 – equipment Fire/Rescue need are very expensive – fuel is very expensive as
well – lots of funding is done. Mr. Nester spoke about the turn-out gear.
Mt. Rogers Community Services Funding Request
Mr. Boyer covered the funding request from MRCS for FY2027, noting that MRSC is
mandated to ask for a 10% local match and it’s based on the per capita population – the
request from Grayson County is $209,093 and it is not currently in our budget. Mr.
Boyer then covered the local appropriation history handout noting their requests from
FY2022 to current which has increased from $101,580 in FY22 to $209,686 for FY26 –
need guidance from the Board on how to proceed. Also reminded the Board that we
are $580K away from balancing our budget.
Mr. Boyer also noted that staff will need guidance from the Board regarding the airport
– fund/or not and how long is the debt service – The Airport is asking for $56K – last
year we funded minimum amount of $19K.

Page 11 of 83

Supervisor Cunningham inquired about the Baywood School – EDA owns the property –
discussion took place regarding the property and possibility of selling the property –
tasked EDA with getting the property appraised. Board also requested the presentation
that Avila Academy presented on May 8, 2025, board meeting – staff will email to the
Board. Also discussed the Wood Debris cleanup – Mr. Boyer will email the area list to
the Board members.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, current Virginia law provides a local option allowing governing
bodies to determine whether and how to engage in collective bargaining based on local
fiscal capacity, workforce needs, and service priorities; and
WHEREAS, HB 1263 and SB 378 would eliminate this local option and impose a
state-mandated, one-size-fits-all collective bargaining framework administered by a
Public Employee Relations Board (PERB); and

Page 14 of 83

WHEREAS, this legislation shifts authority away from locally elected officials
and imposes an unfunded mandate with significant fiscal and administrative
consequences for local governments and taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, Virginia’s localities vary widely in population, resources, and service
delivery models, and are best positioned to make decisions that reflect their unique
circumstances; and
WHEREAS, mandatory collective bargaining as proposed would:

Divert limited local resources from core services to new administrative
and bargaining structures without dedicated funding;

Eliminate local flexibility to align workforce decisions with budgets and
service needs;

Create unpredictable fiscal obligations through arbitration and
expanded dispute resolution processes;

Increase administrative burden, litigation risk, and long-term costs for
local taxpayers; and

WHEREAS, local governments must maintain balanced budgets while
continuing to provide essential services, including public safety, education, and
infrastructure;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Grayson County Board of
Supervisors strongly opposes HB 1263 and SB 378 and any legislation that mandates
collective bargaining for local governments; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board urges the Governor and members of
the Virginia General Assembly to preserve local authority over workforce and labor
relations policies; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the Board shall transmit this resolution
to the Governor and members of the Virginia General Assembly.
Adopted this 9th day of April 2026, in the County of Grayson, Virginia.

IN RE: BUDGET WORK SESSION – PSA & Special Projects (CIP)
Mrs. Edwards covered the following:
Goals for Today
 General Fund – Review
 Determine Water Rates
 FY 26 CIP – Determine what projects to complete
Unresolved from 4/2/26 Meeting
At the last work session, Sheriff Hash addressed the Board and requested:
 Raises for Dispatchers - $10,670
 Raise for Sheriff’s Office Manager - $7,300
 Part Time Animal Control Officer in event of promo�on of current officer to new posi�on
$9,150
Mrs. Edwards noted that the above requests are currently not in the budget that is presented
and staff will need to know if these raises need to be added into the budget – it would be a total
budget increase of $27,120. Discussion took place regarding Animal Control Officer/deputy
retiring.
 Airport Funding – Opera�onal request of $39,600 – this request doesn’t include the
$19,900 for our debt service – impact of not funding more than the debt service is hard
to gauge since the county is in a lot of regional partnerships
 Mt. Rogers CSB Funding – Requested $209,000 – Grayson County has not funded them
over the last 2 years – most the county has funded was $65,000
Where we stood, last meeting?
 By code, budget must be balance – s�ll work to be done
 FY27 – Budget
o Revenue
$30,450,019
o Expenses $31,033,899
o Difference $ (583,880)
 Remember….this is Revenues - Expenditures
General Fund Cash Balance by Month
Mrs. Edwards noted (from the chart below) that the majority of our taxes are collected in
December – based on the chart, fund cash balance was low in 2023 – goal is to improve the
financials of the county – 2026 is trending higher than it has in the past 5 years, which is good –
1 possibility to balance the $583,000 deficit is to transfer some money from the “reassessment
fund” for the expenditure for next year – reassessment will have to be paid next year (2027) –
discussion took place.

-$2,000,000

How we can balance the General Fund (of $583,000)
 General Fund – Fund the Reassessment in FY 2026 and remove from the FY 2027 budget
($500,000)
 Remainder can be adjusted through updated revenue figures ($83K)
 The book was just delivered to the Treasurer’s office and bills for the personal property
taxes is being mailed ( we budget anywhere from 92%-95% on personal property taxes)
PSA and CIP – What we know:
 Water Fund is opera�ng at more than $150K deficit
 CIP project – only project included in the budget is an ambulance (we alternate each year
purchasing either an ambulance or fire – this is the year for an ambulance)

What we
pay:

Mrs. Edwards went over the current rates charged sheet – the county purchases water from the
City of Galax for Fairview/Oldtown and from Troutdale for Grant – rates at the top are what we
are charging for the water – 41% of our cost is for purchase of water – in 2025 the rate for
Fairview/Oldtown was adjusted, it was not adjusted for Grant – staff is recommending to charge
the Grant customers what the county is getting charged (increase $4/month plus the per gallon
over minimum – discussion took place regarding wells, etc. – staff noted we need to cover
expenses, – Fairview/Oldtown increased 2 years ago (35%) – to increase a water rate for Grant,
a PSA meeting would need to be held along with a public hearing – discussion took place
regarding premium increase, adding maintenance fee, etc. – staff is only proposing to increase
Grant rate – can look at increasing Fairview/Oldtown rate as well, but currently they are ok –
anytime there is a leak, money won’t be recovered – after more discussion, recommend charging
Grant customers what the Town of Troutdale is charging the county – we need to cover the cost
of the water - no action needed.
Calendar FY 26-27
 05/14/26 – Board of Supervisors to hold public hearing on the County Budget
 05/28/26 – Final Budget Work Session and approve school budget
 06/11/26 – Board of Supervisors to approve the County Budget
 Mrs. Edwards provided a sample ad for the papers which is a litle different than in the
past – can have changes to the budget but can’t be over 1% change – if over 1%, a new ad
will have to be submited

CIP – Capital Improvement Plan
Mrs. Edwards noted the list below of requests from county departments and also noted that
everything below is not included in the list with the exception of the Ambulance (it is included)

Mr. Boyer noted the school has asked for funds for the school expansion (FY28) and they’ve also
asked for the school cafeteria expansion ($500K) and funding for FY27 – above are the CIPs that
we know about – discussion took place regarding: ambulance which the Commission usually
makes the decision on where the ambulances are housed (who has the most need) – potential
to remount 2 vehicles instead of buying new but would have to work with the Commission on
this and get their thoughts – discussed grant writer (would write for all county departments based
on priority) – Mrs. Edwards noted that if the Board wants any of the projects added to the budget,
then staff will need to go back and rework the budget to figure out what changes would need to
be made to make it happen – currently there is a fund for capital improvements and there is
money in it, but none of the funds have been designated – Board has the authority to
undesignated the funds at any time – discussion took place regarding $583K general fund
shortage, $500K reassessment with a deficit of $83K for FY27 – currently we are $1.5M to the
good today – also discussed health department roof which has been leaking; also discussed the
landing zone for the helicopter.
Local Support Document
Mr. Boyer noted that the County receives requests from different agencies for local support and
needs the Board input on investing again in these nonprofits. Mrs. Edwards noted that the
highlighted amounts (document below) mean the funds have already been sent to the agency
and noted staff needs input especially on the Fries Community Center (last year requested $10K,
they requested $40K this year – rising operational costs, pool chemicals, utility increase, services
to community, etc.), discussion took place; discussed Feeding America (they haven’t received a
request from them) – Mrs. Edwards noted $125K is currently budgeted for local support which is
the same as FY26 – some we didn’t receive a request from for FY27.

Page 29 of 83

Mr. Boyer noted that staff needs direction from the Board regarding Capital Improvements, local
support and the unresolved items from the 4/2/26 work session (raises for dispatchers; raise for
Sheriff’s office manager; part time Animal Control Officer in event of promotion of current officer
to new position; Airport funding and Mt. Rogers CSB funding) – need decisions on today.
Discussion took place regarding: made commitment to Emergency Services for $400K; refitting
vs buying new; Health Department roof and landing zone there; look at carryover from general
fund; budgeted $10K for Mt. Rogers community Services but can be changed if the Board so
chooses; look at carryover from general fund.
Supervisor Hash asked for a motion regarding the raises for dispatchers; hearing none, Supervisor
Hash moved on and asked for a motion regarding a raise for the Sheriff’s Office Manager; hearing

Page 30 of 83

none moved on and asked for a motion for a part time Animal Control Officer in the event of
promotion of current officer to new position – Supervisor Cunningham made the motion to get
him trained before entering into that position; duly seconded by Supervisor Watson. Motion
carried 5-0.
Supervisor Hash asked for a motion for the Twin County Airport request of $39,600 (which is in
addition to the debt service); hearing no motion, moved on to the next item.
Supervisor Hash asked for a motion for Mt. Rogers Community Services $209K request ($10K
currently in the budget) – Mr. Boyer explained some of the services they are affiliated with and
discussion took place – Supervisor Cunningham made a motion to approve $10K; duly seconded
by Supervisor Tomlinson. Motion carried 5-0.
Regarding local support, Mr. Boyer explained that staff listed the requests that have been
received – staff didn’t list any recommendations – Mr. Boyer recommended no funding for the
Brain Injury Services (requested $500) and William King Museum of Art (requested $5K), noting
adjustments can be made at the pleasure of the Board – after discussion, Supervisor Tomlinson
made a motion to fund the Fries Community Center at $20K; duly seconded by Supervisor
Watson. Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Boyer recapped the calendar: public hearing on 05/14/26; next budget meeting 05/28/26 –
final work session/approve school budget; approve budget on 06/11/26. Mr. Boyer also noted if
any of the Board has any questions regarding the budget, to please call and talk with staff.
IN RE: ADJOURN
Supervisor Tomlinson made a motion to adjourn; duly seconded by Supervisor Cunningham.
Motion carried 5-0.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Section 33.2-332 of the Code of Virginia, permits the hard surfacing of
certain unpaved roads deemed to qualify for designation as a Rural Rustic Road; and
WHEREAS, any such road must be located in a low-density development area and have
no more than 1,500 vehicles per day; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Grayson County, Virginia (“Board”) desires to
consider whether adding 0.24 miles of Maple Ridge Lane (Route 896), From: Route 274, To: Dead
End, should be designated a Rural Rustic Road; and
WHEREAS, the Board is unaware of pending development that will significantly affect
the existing traffic on this road; and
WHEREAS, the Board believes that this road should be so designated due to its
qualifying characteristics; and
WHEREAS, this road is in the Board’s six-year plan for improvements to the secondary
system of state highways.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Board hereby designates this road a Rural Rustic
Road, and requests that the Residency Administrator for the Virginia Department of
Transportation concur in this designation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board requests that this road be hard surfaced and, to the
fullest extent prudent, be improved within the existing right-of-way and ditch-lines to preserve
as much as possible the adjacent trees, vegetation, side slopes, and rural rustic character along
the road in their current state.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a certified copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
Virginia Department of Transportation Residency Administrator.

VACORP insurance policy renewal. Mr. Barton moved for the renewal of the policy, with
second from Mr. Wilson. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote.
Ms. Mullins requested review of the audit engagement letter with Robinson Farmer Cox,
PLLC. Ms. Richardson moved for adoption of the engagement letter, with second from Mr.
Wilson. With no further discussion, the motion passed unanimously by voice vote.
After discussion, the next regular meeting date was set for the Washington County
Government Center at 11 a.m. May 14, 2026, on motion by Ms. Mullins and second from Mr.
Wilson and a unanimous voice vote in the affirmative.
Mr. Boyer requested further discussion of a virtual attendance policy. Discussion
indicated the Board has reviewed such a policy in the past, but that virtual attendance would
still require a quorum be physically assembled to meet. Ms. Mullins will review the question
with Mr. Young and revisit at the next meeting.
Mr. Barton moved to adjourn, seconded by Ms. Mullins, who adjourned the meeting at
11:20 a.m.

APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA:

approved the Consent Agenda as presented.

ENGINEERING REPORT:
-

Ms. Blankenship stated that for the Landfill Gas Program, it is monitored on a quarterly basis. There is
a perimeter of gas probes around the Landfill that they monitor to make sure that there is no methane in
them. TRC completed that in November and there were no exceedances so there is nothing to be done.
They presented the quarterly results to Mr. Lawson and DEQ. The First Quarter monitoring for 2026
will happen in February. The Groundwater monitoring at both Permits is done semi-annually, usually
in March and September. Both permits are in the lowest level of monitoring, which is called detection
monitoring. They are just looking at organics and metals in the water. They look at the data and see

if there was anything detected, and how does that compare to the background well. Ms. Blankenship
stated that they usually see a handful of naturally occurring metals. There are no organics that they see
which is good. Once they get all the data back, they have 120 days to submit a report to DEQ. Now
they are working on the Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report, which covers both of the SemiAnnual Reports, and everything that happened with groundwater for the year. Those are due on
January 30th. TRC also implemented a residential monitoring program. They sample them every year
in September and share the results with Mr. Lawson and the Homeowners. Ms. Blankenship stated
that for Storm Water, they are doing sampling on a semi-annual basis and every quarter they come out
and do a visual inspection. Each of the storm water basins have an outfall, and if they flow then TRC
collects a storm water sample from them. For the Landfill’s Permit they only monitor for total
suspended solids (TSS). If there is an exceedance, it does not mean that the Landfill is out of
compliance, it just means that they will have to go back and look at their plan and see if some
additional check dams need to be added so there will not be one on the next sampling. They submit an
electronic discharge monitoring report to DEQ and those are due on January 10th and July 10th every
year. Ms. Blankenship stated that the last thing is the Air Quality Program. The Title V Semi-Annual
monitoring report is due to DEQ and the EPA in February.

-

Mr. Tomlin stated that for the Engineering side, they have just finished Cell V Construction. Just for
the Board’s edification, they did have some issues on that Construction which were TRC caused. They
fixed the problem and we do now have a Certification to Operate on that Cell. Mr. Lawson stated that
they had removed some rain cover on that Cell and will probably be ready to start using it next week.
In other news, on the Engineering Assistance side since the last meeting, they have done the annual
completion of the Operations Manual and Post-Closure Care Certifications that are done in December.
Also, they started the preparation of the SWIA Report that is sent in to DEQ, and that should be
completed in the next few weeks. Mr. Tomlin stated that the latest construction project that is still in
design is for the Cell III area. They are using some of the rock that we just got out of Cell V to put in
Cell III to level it off so that there is some additional operational space. That is at Carroll County right
now for permitting. The project should be bid mid-year so the construction will not start until FY27.
Mr. Tomlin stated that TRC also does an aerial survey of the Landfill every year to figure out the
volume of the Landfill to determine the life that is left. That will be completed in July or August. Mr.
Lawson stated that the survey was also a requirement for DEQ annually now.

LANDFILL DIRECTOR’S REPORT:
-

Signature Card (Skyline)
Mr. Lawson stated that with Mr. Smith retiring, we need to add someone to the Signature Card at
Skyline. Every time it is changed, everyone must sign it again and he usually gets the new card and has
it signed at the next Board Meeting.
Upon motion by Mr. Dickson, seconded by Mr. Cunningham, and duly carried, the Authority
agreed to add Ms. Edwards to the Signature Card at Skyline Bank.

-

Wastek Legislation
Mr. Lawson stated that Wastek had been to several Board Meeting in the past and pushed hard for the
Solid Waste Authority to get an anerobic digester, but this Board voted it down unanimously. Mr.
Dickson brought it to his attention that Wastek is now trying to get Legislation passed that would force
Landfill’s in to doing their project, or one similar to theirs, by 2030. Mr. Lawson asked if the Board
felt like they should get in touch with their Delegates with their concerns or how the Board would like
to handle that. Mr. Lawson gave a brief synopsis of what Wastek was for the new Board Members. It
was the consensus of the Board to have each locality send a letter along with the Solid Waste Authority
Board.

-

Started on FY27 Budget
Mr. Lawson stated that we have started on the FY27 Budget and will present that at the March Board
Meeting.

Financial Statement FY25 – Hard Copies
Mr. Lawson stated that there are hard copies of the Financial Statement available and if the new
members want the Financial Statement electronically just let us know and we will send it to you
electronically as well.

-

Funds Transfer
Mr. Lawson stated that occasionally the Operations Account will get enough money in it that we need
to move some out and it has reached that point right now. We talked a little about it at the October
Meeting and Mr. Tomlin has the updated Financial Evaluation and it might be a good time to look at
that during this conversation. Mr. Lawson stated that as of today we have just over 1 million in our
checking account and BRCEDA is close to paying us back the 325,000 that we loaned them several
years ago. Mr. Lawson is asking where the Board wants the money transferred to, including the
BRCEDA money that would be approximately 800,000. Part of the discussion in October was building
the Post Closure Account. The Board asked Mr. Tomlin to revise the last Financial Evaluation and put
in the current numbers for the cost of construction. Mr. Tomlin stated that everything is the same as it
was in 2023 except for under FY25 the line item for Cell V used to be 7.9 and it is now 5.1 because it
cost less to construct the Cell than was estimated. Mr. Tomlin stated that until at least 2033 the
Authority is going to be in the black to where you are going to have 8.8 million dollars sitting around.
Mr. Tomlin stated that there was only 2 Cells left to construct. Those will probably cost about 7-10
million dollars and be constructed in the next 10-12 years. You have a Closure that will cost
approximately 10 million in 30 years. You do have a Closure Reserve Fund which has approximately
1 million in it. The Post Closure will be monitored for another 30 years and it will cost about 4
million.
Upon motion by Mr. Watson, seconded by Mr. Greene, and duly carried, the Authority approved
to move the amount needed to reduce the Operations Account down to $500,000 to the LGIP Closure
Account.

-

Equipment Update
Mr. Lawson stated that all the equipment is doing good. He is getting one machine looked at for a
possible rebuild versus buying a new machine. We have never done that, but he is considering it this
year, as a way to get a new machine with a lot less emissions at a much cheaper price. We have two
machines that would be good candidates for that. The track loader is the machine he is looking at. We
have three and the one he is looking at has almost 17,000 hours with low emissions without all the Def
and electronics.

-

Personnel
Mr. Lawson stated that we had two employees retire last year and one left to go back to a previous job.
We had not hired anyone since 2017. We will be going through a transition in the next several years
and there will be several here to replace. Mr. Lawson stated that Ms. Bunn is planning to retire in July
this year, and he will be advertising for her position no later than March. We need to get someone here
to have some overlap with her before she is gone since she has a lot of responsibility with the Budget
process and the Audit Process on top of the Daily Routine. Mr. Lawson stated that he would have in
his 30 years in May. He is planning to hire an Assistant Director sometime this Spring and he will
probably work with that person a year if everything goes well and he would leave in May of 2027. Mr.
Lawson stated that besides Ms. Bunn and himself he had two more employees that could possibly
leave at any time.

-

Board Meeting Schedule
Mr. Lawson stated that typically we skip the February Board Meeting and will meet in March. It was
the consensus of the Board to meet at Crossroads Café at 12:00 Noon for a Lunch Meeting on March
27, 2026.

GRANT COMPUTER CENTER
QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT

“Connecting our
world through
generosity”

3rd QUARTER – Fiscal Year 2026
(January – February – March 2026)
The Grant Computer Center was open for public use during this quarter for an average of 26.8
hours per week for 13 weeks. This was below our typical 30 hours per week because the Center
was closed for 7 days due to the winter storms and 1.5 days for the New Years holiday. Overall,
we averaged 27 users per week (350 total for the quarter), also down from our 2025 usage
presumably due to the storms and holiday season. As in the past, many additional users access
our WiFi from outside the building 24/7. Fifteen volunteers worked a total of 353 hours in the
quarter to keep the Center open.

Significant events and developments at the Computer Center in this quarter:

In our “Last Wednesday” seminar series, we hosted an event entitled “Five Wishes
Advanced Medical Directive for Getting the Care That You Want” on February 25. The
speaker was Jennifer Craver of the Mountain Valley Hospice Organization. Participants
were introduced to the very helpful Five Wishes Advanced Directive and invited to fill
out and formalize their own Directive. Jennifer answered many questions about the form
and about related medical and legal issues. The session was very popular, with an
attendance of 25, and many attendees requested similar sessions in the future.
We had two individuals donate printers to the Computer Center, expanding our printing
capabilities. Tom Revels kindly donated an HP SmartTank ink jet multifunctional printer,
which now serves as our back up to our mainstay Brother ink jet. The backup HP has
already been useful when the Brother printer was down for a day. The second printer, a
Canon Pixma Pro-100 photo printer, was donated by one of our volunteers, Rose Cnudde.
This printer generates high-quality photos ranging in size from 4” X 6” snapshots all the

Page 80 of 83

way up to 13” X 26”, and photos can be directly printed from your I-phone (or Samsung
phone) wirelessly. We expect the wireless snapshot capability will be used extensively as
our users discover the ease of printing from their cell phones.
As 2025 came to a close, the Goodwill Grange completed the Kitchen Renovation
Fundraising Drive, raising a total of nearly $50,000. The renovation was completed in
December and January, and the results are impressive. Because the Computer Center
volunteers and users also utilize the restrooms, and we had the contractors on site, we
went ahead with modest restroom updates funded largely by the Computer Center budget
($4158 from Computer Center resources).

Grant Computer Center is run entirely by Goodwill Grange 959 members who volunteer
their time and efforts. Computer Center business is conducted at the monthly Goodwill Grange
meeting and/or through the Grange Executive Committee as necessary. The Goodwill Grange
meets every third Thursday at 6:00 p.m. The public is welcome to attend these meetings. We
encourage both local residents and visitors to utilize the Computer Center any weekday from 11
AM till 5 PM, and access the free Wi-Fi outside the building anytime. We again express our deep
gratitude to County Administrator Boyer and his associates, as well as the Grayson County
Board of Supervisors, for their continued support of the Grant Computer Center. We are striving
to make the Computer Center as useful as we can for the residents and visitors to the county.
