BOS recap part 2 - talking more specifically about a rental inspection program

Look who has her own Friday 5:00 news dump 😅. BOS recap for May 20th! Talking about housing updates, wanting recreational usage added to rural road consideration, and the idea of a rental inspection program.

More information from the budget work sessions! Tax relief, how we fund agencies, bus drivers, microcat, and parks! Next work session is Monday night!

3 things I learned from the first budget work session yesterday. The next one is tomorrow!

Part 2 - why I pulled the Affordable Housing funds from the consent agenda.

BOS recap! Update on zoning, smart scale, and my take on the budget. Part 1 sped up for Bluesky limitations; full, slower version at IG - www.instagram.com/reel/DVg2Jsr...

Tomorrow night, 6:00 - it’s the public hearing on the budget. Come give us your thoughts!!! You can also email them!

And now it’s Story Time with Sally. The part of the show where Sally comes out and reads a little story. (full video on IG) www.instagram.com/reel/DUodIKZ...

One thing I’ve learned is that there’s an official association of Virginia Counties and they sometimes like to advocate for bad policies! We need to get in the cart, and on the train, and get housing built near transit!

You know how Albemarle has so many reports……what if they were a football team? 🏈 I actually put too much thought into this 😅

I really want my IG to have an aesthetic and a theme, but I’m becoming convinced that the theme is “had an idea and couldn’t not post it”

There are some things in our agenda packets that never get mentioned during the meeting, but are full of useful information. Transportation infrastructure updates are one of them!

What happened last night at our short BOS meeting!

Part 2 - recap of the BOS meeting for Jan 21, talking about the build-out analysis

Splitting this up thanks to BlueSky’s limit - a day late because of storm prep while it was warm out - but boy howdy is it getting windy out today! Had to do so many takes 😅🌬️ Part 1 - recap of the BOS meeting for Jan 21, talking about the reassessment values

Separate video bc of Bluesky time limitations but seriously fr, authentically human feedback will be much more persuasive!

Had my first big vote last night and it was a really great experience talking through the issues with my colleagues and listening to community members. Really pleased with how it ultimately turned out. And the Broadway Blueprint study is here - www.enablealbemarle.org/home/showpub...

We just had our first board meeting today and if you’re curious about what happened, here’s the scoop in about 90 seconds! 1. Approved the hiring of a new fire chief 🚒 2. I will be sitting on the Chamber Public Policy and Regional Transit Authority boards 3. Appointed a planning commissioner!

Happy Festivus! Did you know, local government celebrates it twice a month? There’s plenty of opportunities year-round to air your grievances! 😅

Amos Heller, do you like local government?

oh no, I thought of a fun series to make since it’s about to be budget season…🎄🤑

I went to the Stonefield tree lighting tonight and was so impressed. There were so many kids and families there, and they even gave out free light-up glasses and necklaces etc. Had Elsa and Anna, Eli Cook, and even Santa. Free and family-oriented. We need more of that!

The cold snap this weekend is a good reminder that we can help keep each other warm this winter! Join the winter coat drive and help The Haven. There’s a lot of places to drop off hats, gloves, scarves, and coats and support a local business while you’re there!

Cheering for our first woman governor was so fun and cathartic!
