Eighteen minutes for the whole meeting, mostly consisting of reading out the agenda sheet text for each item. The longest item was 7b. Accept Gaines Lane Quit-Claim Deeds, apparently because of a need for a title search and to prepare a plat, and who would pay for it, the county or other.
Here are the costs found in the agenda sheets for each item, most expensive first:
| Cost | What |
|---|---|
| $399,414.00 | Bid for a 3,000 Gallon Tanker for the Fire Department |
| $28,327.04 | Request to Purchase New Firefighter Turnout Gear |
| $19,167 | Solicitor-General’s Office 2020 VAWA Grant Award Activation |
| $4,836.00 | Approval of Clyattstone Rd.-Simpson Ln. ROW Purchases |
| $451,744.04 | Total |
