RULES OF PROCEDURE
ALBEMARLE BOARD OF COUNTY SUPERVISORS
A. Officers
1. Chairman. The Board at its annual meeting shall elect a Chairman who, if present, shall
preside at such meeting and at all other meetings during the year for which elected. In
addition to being presiding officer, the Chairman shall be the head official for all the
Board’s official functions and for ceremonial purposes. He shall have a vote but no veto.
(Virginia Code Sections 15.2-1422 and 15.2-1423)
2. Vice-Chairman. The Board at its annual meeting shall also elect a Vice-Chairman, who, if
present, shall preside at meetings in the absence of the Chairman and shall discharge
the duties of the Chairman during his absence or disability. (Virginia Code Section
15.2-1422)
3. Term of Office. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman shall be elected for one-year terms;
but either or both may be re-elected for one or more additional terms. (Virginia Code
Section 15.2-1422)
4. Absence of Chairman and Vice-Chairman. If the Chairman and Vice Chairman are
absent from any meeting, a present member shall be chosen to act as Chairman.
B. Clerk and Deputy Clerks
The Board at its annual meeting shall designate a Clerk and one or more Deputy Clerks who shall
serve at the pleasure of the Board. The duties of the Clerk shall be those set forth in Virginia
Code Section 15. 2-1539 and such additional duties set forth in resolutions of the Board as
adopted from time to time. (Virginia Code Section 15.2-1416)
C. Meetings
1. Annual Meeting. The first meeting in January held after the newly elected members of
the Board shall have qualified, and the first meeting held i n January of each succeeding
year, shall be known as the annual meeting. At such annual meeting, the Board shall
establish the days, times, and places for regular meetings of the Board for that year.
(Virginia Code Section 15.2-1416)
2. Regular Meetings. The Board shall meet in regular session on such day or days as has
been established at the annual meeting. The Board may subsequently establish different
days, times, or places for such regular meetings by passing a resolution to that effect in
accord with Virginia Code Section 15.2-1416. If any day established as a regular
meeting day falls on a legal holiday, the meeting scheduled for that day shall be held on
the next regular business day without action of any kind by the Board. (Virginia Code
Section 15.2-1416)
If the Chairman (or Vice Chairman, if the Chairman is unable to act) finds and declares
that weather or other conditions are such that it is hazardous for Board members to
attend a regular meeting, such meeting shall be continued to the next regular meeting
date. Such finding shall be communicated to the members of the Board and to the press
as promptly as possible. All hearings and other matters previously advertised shall be
conducted at the continued meeting and no further advertisement shall be required.
(Virginia Code Section 15.2-1416)
7
Regular meetings, without further public notice, may be adjourned from day to day or
from time to time or from place to place, not beyond the time fixed for the next regular
meeting, until the business of the Board is complete. (Virginia Code Section 15.2-1416)
3. Special Meetings. The Board may hold special meetings as it deems necessary at such
times and places as it deems convenient. A special meeting may be adjourned from time
to time as the Board finds necessary and convenient. (Virginia Code Section 15.2-1417)
A special meeting shall be held when called by the Chairman or requested by two or
more members of the Board. The call or request shall be made to the Clerk of the Board
and shall specify the matters to be considered at the meeting. Upon receipt of such call
or request, the Clerk, after consultation with the Chairman, shall immediately notify each
member of the Board, the County Executive, and the County Attorney. The notice shall
be in writing and delivered to the person or to his place of residence or business. The
notice shall state the time and place of the meeting and shall specify the matters to be
considered. No matter not specified in the notice shall be considered at such meeting
unless all members are present. The notice may be waived if all members are present at
the special meeting or if all members sign a waiver for the notice. (Virginia Code
Section 15.2-1418) The Clerk shall notify the general news media of the time and place
of such special meeting and the matters to be considered.
D. Order of Business
The Clerk of the Board shall establish the agenda for all meetings in consultation with the
Chairman. The first two items on the agenda for each regular meeting of the Board shall be the
Pledge of Allegiance and a moment for silent meditation.
The procedures for receiving comment from the public for matters not on the agenda shall be at
the discretion of the Board. Unless otherwise decided, individuals will be allowed a three-minute
time limit in which to speak during the time set aside on the agenda for “From the Public: Matters
Not Listed for Public Hearing on the Agenda”.
Zoning applications advertised for public hearing shall be on the agenda for public hearing on the
advertised date unless the applicant submits a signed written deferral request to the Clerk of the
Board no later than noon on Wednesday of the week prior to the scheduled public hearing. The
first request for a deferral will be granted administratively by the Clerk. The Board will be notified
of the deferral in the next Board package and the deferral will be announced at the earliest
possible Board meeting to alert the public of the deferral. Any request received later than the
Wednesday deadline and any subsequent request for a deferral for the same application
previously deferred will be granted only at the discretion of the Board by a majority vote. The
deferral shall not be granted unless the Board determines that the reason for the def erral justifies
the likely inconvenience to the public caused by the deferral. The staff will make every effort to
alert the public when a deferral is granted.
It is the Board’s preference that a public hearing should not be advertised until all of the f inal
materials for a zoning application have been received by the County and are available for public
review. To achieve this preference, applicants should provide final plans, final codes of
development, final proffers, and any other documents deemed necessary by the Director of
Community Development, to the County no later than two business days prior to the County’s
deadline for submitting the public hearing advertisement to the newspaper. Staff will advise
applicants of this date by including it in an nual schedules for applications and by providing each
applicant a minimum of two weeks advance notice of the deadline.
8
If the applicant does not submit the required materials by this date, the public hearing shall not be
advertised unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of Community
Development that good cause exists for the public hearing to be advertised. If not advertised, a
new public hearing date will be scheduled. If the public hearing is held without final m aterials being
available for review throughout the advertisement period due to a late submittal of documents, or
because substantial revisions or amendments are made to the submitted materials after the public
hearing has been advertised, it will be the po licy of the Board to either defer action and schedule a
second public hearing that provides this opportunity to the public or to deny the application, unless
the Board finds that the deferral would not be in the public interest or not forward the purposes of
this policy.
Final signed proffers shall be submitted to the County no later than nine calendar days prior to the
date of the advertised public hearing. This policy is not intended to prevent changes made in
proffers at the public hearing resulting from comments received from the public or from Board
members at the public hearing.
E. Quorum
A majority of the members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for any meeting of the Board. If
during a meeting less than a majority of the Board remains present, no action can be taken
except to adjourn the meeting. If prior to adjournment the quorum is again established, the
meeting shall continue. (Virginia Code Section 15.2-1415)
A majority of the members of the Board present at the time and place established for any regular
or special meeting shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of adjourning such meeting from day
to day or from time to time, but not beyond the time fixed for the next regular meeting.
F. Voting Procedures
1. Approval by Motion. Unless otherwise provided, decisions of the Board shall be made by
approval of a majority of the members present and voting on a motion properly made by
a member and seconded by another member. Any motion that is not seconded shall not
be further considered. The vote on the motion shall be by a voice vote. The Clerk shall
record the name of each member voting and how he voted on the motion. If any member
abstains from voting on any motion, he shall state his abstention. The abstention will be
announced by the Chairman and recorded by the Clerk. A tie vote shall defeat the
motion voted upon. (Article VII, Section 7, Virginia Constitution)
2. Special Voting Requirements. A recorded affirmative vote of a majority of all elected
members of the Board shall be required to approve an ordinance or resolution
(1) appropriating money exceeding the sum of $500; (2) imposing taxes; or
(3) authorizing the borrowing of money. (Virginia Code Section 15.2-1428)
3. Public Hearings. The Board shall not decide any matter before the Board requiring a
public hearing until the public hearing has been held. The Board may, however, at its
discretion, defer or continue the holding of a public hearing or consideration of such
matter. The procedures for receiving comment from the applicant and the public for public
hearings shall be at the discretion of the Board. Unless otherwise decided, the applicant
shall be permitted no more than ten minutes to present its application. Following the
applicant’s presentation, any member of the public shall be permitted no more than three
9
minutes to present public comment. Speakers are limited to one appearance at any
public hearing. Following the public comments, the applicant shall be permitted no more
than five minutes for a rebuttal presentation.
4. Motion to Amend. A motion to amend a motion before the Board, properly seconded,
shall be discussed and voted by the Board before any vote is taken on the original motion
unless the motion to amend is accepted by both the members making and seconding the
original motion. If the motion to amend is approved, the amended motion is then before
the Board for its consideration. If the motion to amend is not approved, the original
motion is again before the Board for its consideration.
5. Previous Question. Discussion of any motion may be terminated by any member moving
the “previous question”. Upon a proper second, the Chairman shall call for a vote on the
motion of the previous question. If approved by a majority of those voting, the Chairman
shall immediately call for a vote on the original motion under consideration. A motion of
the previous question shall not be subject to debate and shall take precedence over any
other matter.
6. Motion to Reconsider. Any decision made by the Board may be reconsidered if a motion
to reconsider is made at the same meeting or an adjourned meeting held on the same
day at which the matter was decided. The motion to reconsider may be made by any
member of the Board. Upon a proper second, the motion may be discussed and voted.
The effect of the motion to reconsider, if approved, shall be to place the matter for
discussion in the exact position it occupied before it was voted upon.
7. Motion to Rescind. Any decision made by the Board, except for zoning map
amendments, special use permit decisions, and ordinances, (these exceptions shall only
be subject to reconsideration as provided above) may be rescinded by a majority vote of
all elected members of the Board. The motion to rescind may be made by any member
of the Board. Upon a proper second, the motion may be discussed and voted. The
effect of the motion to rescind, if approved, is to nullify the previous decision of the Board.
Zoning map amendments, special use permit decisions and ordinances may be
rescinded or repealed only upon meeting all the legal requirements necessary for taking
action on such matters as if it were a new matter before the Board for consideration.
G. Amendment of Rules of Procedure
These Rules of Procedure may be amended by a majority vote of the Board at the next regular
meeting following a regular meeting at which notice of the motion to amend is given.
H. Suspension of Rules of Procedure
These Rules of Procedure may be suspended by the majority vote of the Board members present
and voting. The motion to suspend a rule may be made by any member of the Board. Upon a
proper second, the motion may be discussed and voted. The effect of the motion to suspend a
rule, if approved, is to make that rule inapplicable to the matter before the Board. Provided,
however, approval of a motion to suspend the rule shall not permit the Board to act in violation of
a requirement mandated by the Code of Virginia, the Constitution of Virginia, or any other
applicable law.
I. Necessary rules of procedure not covered by these Rules of Procedures shall be governed by
Robert's Rules of Order’s Procedure in Small Boards.

ATTACHMENT 2
ALBEMARLE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
POLICY FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
A. CREATION OF NEW BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
1. On an annual basis the list of active boards and commissions will be purged of all bodies
not required by Federal, State, County or other regulations, which have not met at least once during the
prior twelve-month period.
2. Whenever possible and appropriate, the functions and activities of boards and
commissions will be combined, rather than encouraging the creation of new bodies.
3. Any newly created task force or ad hoc committee which is intended to serve for a limited
time period may be comprised of magisterial or at-large members at the discretion of the Board of
Supervisors. The appointment process shall follow that adopted in Section B for other magisterial and/or
at-large positions.
B. APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
1. All appointments to boards and commissions based upon magisterial district boundaries
will be made by the members of the Board of Supervisors. At the discretion of the supervisor of that
district, magisterial positions may be advertised and selected applicants may be interviewed for the
position.
2. Prior to each day Board meeting, the Clerk will provide the Board a list of expired terms
and vacancies that will occur within the next sixty days. The Board will then advise the Clerk which
vacancies to advertise.
3. In an effort to reach as many citizens as possible, notice of boards and commissions with
appointment positions available may be published through available venues, such as, but not limited to,
the County’s website, A-mail, public service announcements and local newspapers. Interested citizens
will be provided a brief description of the duties and functions of each board, length of term of the
appointment, frequency of meetings, and qualifications necessary to fill the position. An explanation of
the appointment process for both magisterial and at-large appointments will also be sent to all applicants.
4. All interested applicants will have a minimum of thirty days from the date of the first notice
to complete and return to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors a detailed application, with the
understanding that such application may be released to the public, if requested. No applications will be
accepted if they are postmarked after the advertised deadline, however, the Board, at its discretion, may
extend the deadline.
5. Once the deadline for accepting applications is reached, the Clerk will distribute all
applications received to the members of the Board of Supervisors prior to the day meeting for their
review. For magisterial appointments, the Clerk will forward applications as they are received to the
supervisor of that district who will then recommend his/her appointment.
6. From the pool of qualified candidates, the Board of Supervisors, at their discretion, may
make an appointment without conducting an interview, or may select applicants to interview for the vacant
positions. The Clerk will then schedule interviews with applicants to be held during the next day meeting.
For magisterial appointments, the decision to interview selected candidates will be determined by the
supervisor of that district.
7. All efforts will be made to interview selected applicants and make appointments within
ninety days after the application deadline. For designated agency appointments to boards and
12
commissions, the agency will be asked to recommend a person for appointment by the Board of
Supervisors.
8. All vacancies will be filled as they occur.
9. All incumbents will be allowed to serve on a board or commission without his/her position
being readvertised unless, based on attendance and performance, the chairman of the body or a member
of the Board of Supervisors requests the Board of Supervisors to do otherwise.
10. As a condition to assuming office all citizen members of boards and commissions shall
file a real estate disclosure form as set forth in the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act
and thereafter shall file such form annually on or before January 15.
11. If a member of a board or commission does not participate in at least fifty percent of a
board’s or commission’s meetings, the chairman of the body may request the Board of Supervisors
terminate the appointment and refill it during the next scheduled advertising period.
C. ADOPTION
This policy shall be reviewed and readopted by the Board of Supervisors in January.
(Amended and/or Readopted 01-07-98; 02-12-2005; 01-04-2006; 01-03-2007; 01-09-2008; 01-07-2009;

RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION
WHEREAS, Benjamin “Ben” Franklin Hurt is the quintessence of a role model who had the unique
ability to touch each student that passed through the halls of Albemarle High School; and
WHEREAS, both of Ben’s parents pursued learning throughout their lives, thus instilling in him a thirst
and fascination for learning at an early age. This led Ben to be the first in his family to
attend college, all the while working and eventually graduating from Hampden Sydney.
After graduation Ben was hired by Greenwood High School Principal, Paul Cale, to not
only teach his favorite subject, Latin, but also teach math and science, coach the
baseball, basketball and track teams, and sponsor the boy’s club and chorus; and
WHEREAS, in 1941, Ben was drafted into the U.S. Army and used his language and typing skills to
assist him in becoming the company clerk for the First Armored Division where he
prepared daily accounts of campaigns through Africa and Italy, achieving the rank of
Sergeant Major, a good preparation towards continuing his educational journey. After the
Army, Ben returned to Greenwood High School where he rose to Principal in 1946.
Continuing his educational journey, in 1951, Ben earned a Masters of Education Degree
from the University of Virginia after which he became Assistant Principal at Albemarle
High School when it opened in 1953. In 1954, Ben was appointed Principal and led the
Albemarle High School Patriots for thirty years before retiring in 1984; and
WHEREAS, during his journey, Ben, with his lifelong partner and wife of 62 years, Maria, raised a
family, remained active in his Church, civic organizations in Crozet and throughout the
County; and
WHEREAS, Ben is known for his kindness and understanding, and his advocacy for fairness and
opportunity, but most importantly, his students were never a number or an unknown.
Ben, known as Mr. Hurt to all his students, knew every student’s name, their face, their
parents, where they lived, their struggles and their successes. Ben instilled in everyone
who graduated from Albemarle High School, whether they went to college, went to work,
or studied a trade, that they were unique, had personal gifts and had a responsibility to
their school and community; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that on this day of January 5, 2011, the Albemarle County Board
of Supervisors and the Albemarle County School Board hereby recognize and thank you
- Ben Hurt for your inspiration, for your service and leadership, and for your legacy and
high standard of education in Albemarle County.

RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, County Code § 18-5.1.25(e) establishes the standard for sound generated from
outdoor amplified music at a farm winery, which is based on the audibility of the sound by a person of
normal hearing from specified locations; and
WHEREAS, the standard is unique among the noise standards for land uses regulated under the
Zoning Ordinance, which are otherwise decibel-based standards in County Code § 4.18; and
WHEREAS, it is desired to consider a new standard for outdoor amplified music at a farm wi nery
considering the needs of the farm winery industry to preserve its economic vitality, the effect of outdoor
amplified music on residents living near farm wineries, and the need for a standard that is reasonable,
effective and efficient in its administration and enforcement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience,
general welfare and good zoning practices, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors hereby adopts a
resolution of intent to amend County Code §§ 18-4.18, 18-5.1.25 and any other regulations of Chapter 18,
Zoning, of the County Code deemed appropriate to achieve the purposes described herein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the
zoning text amendment proposed by this resolution of intent, and make its recommendation to the Board
of Supervisors, at the earliest possible date.

Attachment 8
Revisions to Community Advisory Councils
1. Individual meetings with each council involving staff would be reduced to 1 – 2 per year instead of
2 – 3 per year as approved in September – additional meetings would be scheduled as necessary
for project-specific issues.
2. Administrative support including updates to websites, issuing A Mails, and updates regarding
development activity and capital project status may be delayed.
3. As workload increases/shifts for Community Development and other involved staff, this approach
may need to be revisited in the future.
