James City County’s Planning Commission may gain a new Stonehouse representative Tuesday.
The Board of Supervisors is slated to consider appointing a member to fill the Stonehouse seat on the commission at its Tuesday meeting.
The county has been asking interested residents to apply for the past two weeks, but applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and kept on file for two years. To date, the county has received four applications: Heath Richardson, Sue Sadler and Gerald Mitchell, and another from Nitant Desai, who is not a resident of the district. County staff have not yet confirmed whether Desai is eligible to fill the seat.
The county will accept applications for the vacant Stonehouse seat until noon Tuesday.
Commissioner Richard Krapf was appointed to fill the Powhatan seat at the Feb. 11 board meeting, which left the Stonehouse seat vacant. The appointee will fill the seat through Jan. 31, 2015.
The board will also appoint members to the Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance and the Greater Peninsula Workforce Development Consortium/Peninsula Council for Workforce Development. All appointments, including the Planning Commission, will take place during a closed session.
Outside of the closed session, the board is slated to hear the Planning Commission’s 2013 Annual Report, as well as a presentation from the Williamsburg Area Arts Commission.
The board has no public hearings or board considerations scheduled, but will consider four items as part of its consent calendar:
- Establishing a part-time benefits coordinator position, which was a position the county and school system shared. The schools have absorbed the position, leaving a void in the county.
- Establishing a full-time regular groundskeeper position to fill a school vacancy.
- Donating an 1868 Richardson Grist Mill bill of sale to the College of William and Mary’s Earl Gregg Swem Library Special Collections for conservation and study.
- Accepting a state reimbursement grant for the purchase of development rights program.
The board’s full agenda for Tuesday’s meeting, which will take place at 7 p.m. in Building F at 101 Mounts Bay Road, is online. Prior to the meeting, the board will have a work session at 4 p.m. As of 5 p.m. Friday, the agenda for the meeting had not been posted.
The board’s meeting will be broadcast live online and on JCC TV channel 48. Meetings are rebroadcast at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. every Thursday on Community Channel 46.
