[0:16] Good afternoon.
[0:17] My name is Deonte Diggs,
[0:18] and I would like to turn the
meeting over to the county
[0:20] administrator, mister Ashton.
[0:21] Thank you, supervisor

[0:47] I ask that anybody in the
audience please stand if you're
[0:49] able and join us in both.
[0:52] Thank you, county administrator.
[0:54] Dear lord, thank you for bringing
us all together this evening.

[1:00] and your guidance as we
deliberate the business of our
[1:03] community this evening.
[1:04] Please continue to watch over
all of our community members,
[1:07] service members, and
first responders.
[1:10] In this, your name,
we pray. Amen.
[1:33] In accordance with the board's
bylaws section two point one,
[1:37] the first order of business is
the election of the chairman.
[1:39] Once nominations are complete,
[1:41] the board will vote in the order
in which nominations are received.
[1:44] So right now, I'd like to open
the floor for nominations.
[1:47] I nominate supervisor Allen.
[1:49] I nominate Doctor. Pam Young.
[1:53] I nominate Mr. Diggs.
[2:04] Any additional nominations?
[2:06] Let
[2:11] us not do that.
[2:13] Seeing that, I will close
the nominations and we will
[2:16] begin voting on them one by one.
[2:23] So first up is

[15:58] Sorry.
[15:58] Chairman, can I make a motion
to reconsider vice chair?
[16:02] All right. You have a
motion. Do we have a second?
[16:05] Second.
[16:05] All
[16:07] right.
[16:08] The motion is second.
[16:09] We're going to vote to

[16:15] Cast your votes.
[16:34] All right. That
motion fails. Okay.
[16:36] All

or deletions to the agenda?
[16:47] Yes, sir. We do.

applications received over the
[16:52] weekend for item

[16:54] They have been added to the
agenda and those have been
[16:56] placed in your closed session
folders for consideration.
[17:00] All

[17:16] Oh, sorry. Can you

[17:20] It's whatever.
[17:21] All right. All right.
[17:22] Thank you.
[17:26] Yes.
[17:29] Alright. Everybody

[17:36] Beneuch?
[17:42] Everybody, please cast your vote
[17:45] for the approval of the agenda.
[17:53] Okay.
[17:57] Alright. That
passes unanimously.
[17:59] The next order of business
is to approve the calendar
[18:01] establishing the board of
supervisors meeting dates for
[18:03] twenty twenty six,
[18:04] proposed resolution r
twenty six dash zero one.
[18:19] Sure. Can we discuss?
[18:22] Yes.
[18:23] We're I think we're
gonna have a press
[18:25] what are we doing?
[18:26] The calendar.
[18:26] The calendar is up next.
[18:28] She's she's Okay.
[18:29] And then after.
[18:45] I'm happy to answer questions.
[18:47] Donna Krause, Deputy
County Administrator,
[18:49] in your packet is
[18:53] do I lower this?
[18:54] This is too tall.
[18:57] In your packet is
the draft calendar.
[19:00] You also have a big chart that looks
like this that designates all the dates.
[19:05] We also did consider the budget
calendar within your calendar as well.
[19:09] But I'm happy to answer
questions or concerns related
[19:13] to any dates.
[19:14] Okay, supervisor.
[19:22] Yeah.
[19:22] I just have a
question about the,
[19:25] January twenty first joint
board and school board meeting.
[19:29] Did we I know it says TBD,
[19:32] but did we have a
time and a location?
[19:35] Typically the location
is here in ABC
[19:40] conference room and the time
typically is five to seven.
[19:44] Okay. Thank you.
[19:52] I'll throw out something
just for our consideration.
[19:54] We
[19:56] don't have to nail
down the calendar.
[19:58] You know, if people because we have
a couple of new board members and
[20:01] then just consideration
for them coming on board.
[20:03] We don't have to nail it down.
[20:04] We can defer it until the
next meeting if we need to.
[20:06] So just remember that.
[20:08] But I also kinda wanted
to throw out there,
[20:10] when we did the inception
of the calendar,
[20:12] it was really based around
the school schedule.
[20:14] And now I mean,
[20:14] it's been years since the
schools have changed to an
[20:16] earlier start, but I don't
know if any board members are
[20:21] thinking about
potentially, like,
[20:23] instead of having recess July
through halfway of August,
[20:25] if there would be a preference
to move our recess from June
[20:28] coming back halfway through July so it
mirrors more of the school schedule.
[20:32] Again, I could care less
one way or the other,
[20:35] but just thought that that
might be worth a piece of
[20:37] consideration just so that
parents are off at the same
[20:40] time as their children.
[20:43] I like that idea.
[20:46] I'm sorry. What'd you say?
[20:48] It's mid to August.
It's not June.
[20:50] It's like mid they come mid
May till beginning of August.
[20:59] Okay. We can come back
to that. Defer it?
[21:01] We can defer it and come
back. I'm sorry. Go ahead.
[21:05] Just to Supervisor
Vinucha's point,
[21:10] just for awareness, that would
mean we would potentially lose
[21:14] three board meeting dates.
[21:15] Is that what you're saying?
[21:16] It would be the same amount.
[21:17] I'm proposing the same amount
of board meeting dates,
[21:20] just moving it instead
of you'd have, like,
[21:23] the first one in June,
[21:24] and then it would be off the
rest of June and half of July
[21:27] and then coming back.
[21:28] Same way we do with July.
[21:30] First meeting in July and
then off until mid August.
[21:34] And so we would just
pick a date, like,
[21:35] later in July to reconvene.
[21:37] Okay.
[21:38] Just squashing them down
a little Yeah, exactly.
[21:41] Wanted to make sure we're
keeping the same number of dates.
[21:45] And I guess I want to
defer to my colleagues.
[21:48] Do you feel like we need to
defer the calendar for more time?
[21:52] I mean, would just say that there's
a lot of back end things that the
[21:56] staff need to do for
transparency to the public,
[21:59] creating it on the
public calendar,
[22:02] also in the agenda center,
getting it on your calendars.
[22:05] We're happy to wait.
We have a guide.
[22:07] We can, you know,
forward with the guide.
[22:11] I'll make a motion to accept
the calendar as it is. Okay.
[22:14] Second.
[22:15] All right. Cast your vote.
[22:25] Alright. That
passes unanimously.
[22:29] Alright. Thank you, miss Krausz.
[22:31] Next, have presentations
by the public.
[22:33] Please remain courteous and
respectful to members of the
[22:35] audience and the board.
[22:36] Each speaker is
allowed three minutes.
[22:37] Speak slowly and clearly into
the microphone and begin by
[22:40] stating your name and
district, if known.
[22:42] Please refer to the lights on
the podium to monitor your time.
[22:44] Green indicates the
start of your remarks.
[22:46] Yellow indicates that you have one
minute to summarize your comments.
[22:49] Red lets you know
that your time is up.
[22:52] The first person
is James Bracco.
[22:58] And after Mr. Bracco,
it'll be Al Watkins next.
[23:09] Good evening,
members of the board.
[23:12] Today I'd like to talk to
you about an issue that I am
[23:16] personally having,
[23:18] but also something
that you may be able
[23:21] to do so that future
residents don't have it.
[23:25] Seventeen ten Brook
Road, a quiet district.
[23:31] I recently purchased another
piece of property next to
[23:36] a residence that I have
down off Brook Road.
[23:39] It was a garage.
[23:40] The residence I had on
it used to be a US post
[23:44] service, a post office.
[23:46] It was a laundromat. This
is going back into the '40s.
[23:50] Laundromat, gas station,
garage, post office altogether.
[23:56] After I purchased it,
[23:57] I kept the grandfather
zoning for about three years,
[23:59] decided that I was never
going to open a store there.
[24:02] So I let the grandfather
zoning go on the store.
[24:07] Recently, the garage
came available from
[24:11] Dieter, and I decided
to purchase it being
[24:16] in proximity to my office.
[24:17] And it was something that
I was interested in doing.
[24:21] I purchased the garage.
[24:23] I came to the county and
immediately asked what I
[24:27] needed to do to occupy.
[24:30] They said I had to apply
for an occupancy permit.
[24:33] I said, well, what about
the grandfather's earning?
[24:36] Almost two months went by,
nothing for the grandfather.
[24:40] I
[24:42] went back up, applied for
the an occupancy permit,
[24:46] and as of today, it still
has not been approved.
[24:48] The new zoning administrator
being from Prince William
[24:51] County has no
guidance from board on
[24:55] what qualifies for a
grandfather zoning.
[24:58] They said there's
no ordinance for it.
[25:00] I showed him pictures
of it going back,
[25:03] garage going back all the
way to where y'all had
[25:07] it in nineteen eighty three.
[25:10] Pictures of the gas station.
[25:13] Pictures of the shop on the inside
where he used to work on cars.
[25:16] Definition of the garage is
anything that repairs vehicles
[25:19] for the public or restores cars
and then sells the cars for money.
[25:23] You have to have a you have
to have a repair shop thing.
[25:27] He had issues with the
tie with the address
[25:30] being PO Box forty
five Brook, Virginia,
[25:35] Saint Route six zero eight.
[25:37] That was the address back
when it was originally done.
[25:40] I had receipts going back to
all the way to seventy three.
[25:43] I had gave him affidavits from
people that knew it was a garage.
[25:46] I gave him the bills of sales
for the garage. Still nothing.
[25:51] At this point, I
have nowhere to go
[25:54] to prove this was a
garage to him on it.
[25:59] I see I have twelve
minutes left.
[26:01] So any help that the board
could suggest on this,
[26:04] I'm willing to share any and all
information I have with them.
[26:08] I know it's your
you're brand new,
[26:11] and I hate to drop this on you.
[26:12] But anyways, I'm out of time.
Thank you all very much.
[26:20] You can just hold it. This
is right here. After Mr.
[26:25] Al Watkins, it's going
to be Kristin Maxson.
[26:30] Good evening,
members of the board.
[26:31] Happy New Year,
and welcome back,
[26:34] and especially a strong welcome,
[26:36] Supervisor Evans and
Supervisor Guy. Welcome.
[26:39] Now you're in the fray.
[26:42] Twenty twenty five was a
very consequential year.
[26:45] This board made some
major decisions,
[26:47] and I have a feeling that twenty
twenty six is going to repeat that.
[26:51] As you know, I am a
member of the CTAC,
[26:54] the FAMPOS Citizens
Transportation Advisory
[26:58] Committee.
[26:59] And thank you for the support
that we've received in the past
[27:02] from Supervisor Vernook
and Supervisor Young and
[27:07] also, of course, former
Supervisor Bamke,
[27:10] who is no longer here.
[27:12] I know that there will be
at least one new person most
[27:15] likely on the CTEC policy board.
[27:19] And I would like to offer
my services to kind of bring
[27:23] things up to speed,
[27:24] especially regarding major
projects like the river
[27:27] crossing, which will be
discussed at this coming
[27:30] Monday's meeting and also
discussed at the CTAC meeting
[27:34] that we'll be having
tomorrow evening.
[27:36] I also understand that
there's one candidate or three
[27:40] different nominations
for a member of CTAC.
[27:44] Hopefully that will be decided
this evening so that that
[27:47] person can attend
the meeting tomorrow.
[27:49] And I'd like to be able to assist
them in getting things up to speed.
[27:54] There's still a lot that has
to be done regarding the river
[27:57] crossing, even though the
preferred option was chosen.
[28:01] There are a number of things
that need to be resolved
[28:03] regarding making that
opportunity to eliminate
[28:08] congestion in our region.
[28:10] And that has to be decided
going forward this year.
[28:14] So again, I look forward to working
with whoever is put into place and
[28:18] any of the other board members.
[28:20] If they should ever have
any other questions,
[28:22] feel free to reach out.
[28:24] Thank you.
[28:30] Well, MF King is
up after Ms. Maxon.
[28:41] Kristen Maxon,
[28:46] in the Fowlmont District,
January six twenty twenty six,
[28:50] board of supervisors.
[28:53] Utility company is
contacting Stafford residents
[28:57] concerning selling water and
septic line insurance coverage.
[29:02] What if their utility
trucks run over
[29:05] homeowners' private utility
lines not defined as
[29:09] easements on their
engineered drawings?
[29:12] Their practice is described
as sloppy by agents.
[29:17] December twenty two,
twenty twenty six,
[29:21] C Day session with no following
meeting after that year.
[29:25] Is this meeting needed?
[29:28] Twenty twenty five has
experienced C Day work sessions
[29:32] to be not as described,
[29:34] rather a meeting for suspending
bylaws with expedited
[29:38] motions, resolutions and
ordinance with no way for the
[29:42] public to add comment or review.
[29:45] Consideration also should
be taken note October
[29:50] twenty seventh, twenty twenty
six work session prior to
[29:54] elections day with
no following meeting.
[29:57] What is the impact on the Stafford
County voters with no voice?
[30:02] Page fifteen of five hundred
and thirteen three hundred and
[30:06] thirteen, January six,
twenty twenty five.
[30:09] Stafford County Board of
Supervisors code of performance
[30:13] number two reads made
[30:15] a made make
[30:17] an effort to be prepared for each
meeting related to the office.
[30:22] This is questionable for
members voted on items with no
[30:25] time to review add ons
and increase agendas.
[30:31] Information creep should
be determined as a no for a
[30:35] proceeding vote of
action, Page twenty two of
[30:39] three thirteen.
[30:41] R-twenty five-two

[30:44] an item sixteen, November six,

[30:50] R25-two sixty seven
in agenda listing.
[30:55] See Page sixty six of
[30:59] three thirteen today,
today's agenda.
[31:02] That report was not available
to the public and lacked
[31:05] information, stated the board.
[31:08] Minutes resolution numbers were
not matching to votes within
[31:12] the minutes, adding confusion for
the year of year two zero five
[31:19] two twenty five in
Stafford County.
[31:23] Next slide, Page two twenty
seven of three hundred and
[31:27] thirteen is empty
and should read,
[31:29] this page is
initially left empty.
[31:33] And do you think
the applications
[31:36] should not list
more than three BACC
[31:40] entries when you read them.
[31:43] Thank you.
[31:48] Mister MF King?
[31:53] It's Will Will MF King. No.
[31:58] I'm sorry, ma'am. Are
you Will m f King?
[32:02] I'm I'm sorry. I can't
understand what you're saying.
[32:05] Are you Will m f King?
[32:08] No. I'm with Eric.
[32:09] Okay. Will MF King is
up next. Thank you.
[32:22] Hey, everybody.
[32:25] My name is Will
Michael Ferris King,
[32:29] and I am a resident of
Griffiths Widewater.
[32:34] And
[32:36] I came here today
[32:39] to talk about something
that got my brain whirling.
[32:44] You know what it was? It was
something a wise man once said.
[32:48] It was how we treat
the most vulnerable
[32:54] reflects the character
of our community.
[32:59] And you know what happened?
[33:00] You know, the thing about being human
is that we are all vulnerable at
[33:04] some point in our lives.
[33:05] And one of those cases
is when we are injured.
[33:09] Now there are many ways in
which we can become injured,
[33:12] but there is a gentleman who is in
Rappahannock Regional Jail right now.
[33:17] His name is Lawrence Toler. He
was shot in the head by police.
[33:21] Who knows why?
[33:23] But the point is is that he was shot in
the head and now he has brain damage.
[33:26] And I'm just gonna read to you
a report that was given to,
[33:31] well, to jail.
[33:33] And this was written by
[33:36] a friend of mine that runs
the Voices Behind the Walls.
[33:40] She says, I am writing with
extreme urgency regarding inmate
[33:43] Lawrence Toller,
[33:44] currently housed at
Rappahannock Regional Jail.
[33:46] He is exhibiting serious
and potentially life threatening
[33:49] neurological symptoms that
require immediate outside
[33:52] medical evaluation.
[33:53] Mister Toller has repeatedly
requested to be seen by his
[33:57] neurologist and has reported
the following alarming symptoms,
[34:01] a sensation that is inside of
his head that is intensely hot.
[34:04] Have you ever felt your
brain be hot? I haven't.
[34:09] Clear fluid leaking
from his ear,
[34:12] recurrent nosebleeds, and
escalating neurological
[34:15] distress consistent with a
possible emergency condition.
[34:18] This was on January fourth.
[34:21] They the medical staff
reportedly provided two Tylenol
[34:24] tablets and a nasal spray and
then returned mister Toller to
[34:28] his housing pod without further
diagnostic testing, imaging,
[34:31] or specialist evaluation.
[34:34] Now
[34:37] inside of all that is a
lawsuit, pretty big one.
[34:40] Right?
[34:41] And maybe that's
a Spotsy problem,
[34:43] but it's actually also
your problem because this
[34:47] board determines
how much money goes
[34:51] into all the different
entities in this county to
[34:55] include Rappahannock
Regional Jail.
[34:58] Alright.
[34:58] So what I would
like for y'all to
[35:01] consider is why don't you
consider increasing the
[35:05] budget that is spent
on medical labor?
[35:10] Right? Just double it.
[35:11] How about that? Because
it's already understaffed.
[35:14] You can find it in
their reports. Okay?
[35:18] So just do something
about it. Do something.
[35:26] Alright, ma'am. You can you can
come back up now. Thank you.
[35:29] Anybody else on this side of
the audience that wishes to
[35:31] address the board, please
come to the center.
[35:35] And you you can come forward.
[35:36] State your name and
district if known.
[35:38] Okay.
[35:39] My name is Elizabeth Eric,
[35:42] and I'm in the George
Washington district.
[35:45] And,
[35:47] first, I would like to
thank the supervisors and
[35:51] the planning commission
for enacting outstanding
[35:55] guidelines and regulations for
development of data centers in the county.
[36:01] I know the process
was long and involved.
[36:04] There was a lot of work
and a lot of public input,
[36:06] and I appreciate that you all
did a really good job on that.
[36:11] So today, I would
like to draw your
[36:14] attention to proposed rules
and regulations and legislation
[36:18] that would preempt or limit
the same kind of civic
[36:22] involvement with respect to
placement or modification of
[36:26] cell towers and other
wireless infrastructure,
[36:30] specifically FCC
Docket twenty five-two
[36:34] seventy six, notice of
proposed rulemaking titled
[36:39] Build America
Eliminating Barriers to
[36:42] Wireless Deployments and House
[36:46] Bill two thousand two and
eighty nine titled American
[36:49] Broadband Deployment
Act and Related Bills.
[36:53] This is important.
[36:57] The National Association of
Counties submitted comments to
[37:01] the FCC with comprehensive analysis
of the effect of these changes.
[37:07] NACO wrote about these changes
in their article entitled
[37:12] FCC considers preemption
of local authorities
[37:16] and broadband
permitting process.
[37:20] In other words, the FCC wants to take
away your authority to have any say over
[37:24] where cell towers are placed.
[37:28] Make sense?
[37:30] It's important because you guys did
a great job with the data centers.
[37:34] They don't want you to be allowed
to do that with the cell towers.
[37:37] They want you to have no say over cell
tower placement and modifications.
[37:43] The issues are complicated,
and I admit I enlisted the help
[37:48] of an AI chat GPT to
help me understand.
[37:51] It looks like I'm going
to be out of time soon,
[37:55] so I will skip down to
[37:59] the FCC is ignoring a
legal mandate requiring the
[38:02] agency to provide a
reasoned explanation
[38:06] on why its RF exposure
guidelines should remain
[38:10] unchanged in the
light of scientific
[38:13] record, addressing
children's exposure
[38:16] to long term effects,
technological changes like five
[38:20] gs and environmental impacts.
[38:22] Under this mandate, the FCC
cannot treat the issue as
[38:26] already settled without
without analysis.
[38:29] So, basically, I will
submit this for the record.
[38:33] This is all the documentation that
you need to start looking at this.
[38:38] Okay?
[38:40] Give it to her.
[38:42] The clerk. Thank you.
[38:52] Hello, ladies and gentlemen
of the board. Welcome back.
[38:55] Happy New Year. Hope everybody
had a great holiday season.
[38:58] I'm Jesse Adams from the
beautiful wetlands of the
[39:00] Akwaia District.
[39:02] And I just wanted to honestly
it should be pretty quick.
[39:05] I I'd like an
update, if possible,
[39:07] on the beaver swamp
off of Potomac Run Road
[39:12] that we kinda talked
about last time
[39:15] that was kinda running dry.
[39:18] We had a lot of
concerns about that,
[39:19] and I just didn't know if if
we we've had time to, like,
[39:22] look into it at all and and
where we might be on that.
[39:24] I just wanna make sure
it doesn't get dropped.
[39:26] I did get a weird email
from a citizen this morning
[39:31] claiming that there were hoses
that had showed up that are now
[39:36] somehow doing something
into that swamp.
[39:38] I haven't had time to go look
at it myself to verify that
[39:41] claim, and I don't
have any, like, photos.
[39:43] But I thought it was a it was a
weird thing to get an email today.
[39:47] But it would just be great if
we could get an update and make
[39:50] sure that we're we're
looking into that further.
[39:55] And then the other thing is I
just I I volunteered time at
[39:58] Widewater State Park,
is a gorgeous park.
[40:01] And driving out there this
weekend to put in a couple days.
[40:06] There's a lot of trees
getting clear cut
[40:10] right off of Brent Point Road.
[40:12] And I'm not really sure
what's going on there,
[40:14] but it was a concerning
number of trees.
[40:18] And so I haven't built
a GIS map about it yet.
[40:21] I haven't really had
time to dig into it,
[40:23] but I'll probably
be reaching out,
[40:26] especially to Supervisor Allen,
[40:29] to kind of dig into
what's going on.
[40:31] But there are a concerning
amount of trees that are being
[40:34] removed, which was
a little unsettling.
[40:38] So I just really appreciate an update
on the beaver swamp if we have one.
[40:43] And, yeah, thank
you for your time.
[40:50] If there's anyone else on
this side of the audience that
[40:53] wishes to address the board,
[40:54] please come to the
center aisle now.
[40:58] Okay.
[40:59] Good evening.
[41:00] Jeff Fiesl and Rock Hill.
[41:03] Just briefly here to welcome
you all to the New Year and
[41:06] welcome the two new members.
[41:09] We've a lot of challenges
ahead of us here, obviously.
[41:12] And our goal should be
[41:16] the things that we'll
be remembered for,
[41:19] that we'll be judged for,
[41:20] and those are how we
treat the most vulnerable,
[41:25] how we preserve the quality
of life of our residents,
[41:29] how we care for our environment
and what we leave intact for
[41:33] future generations.
[41:37] As I've been more involved and
active here in the community
[41:40] in the past few years,
I've come to discover,
[41:43] much to my delight,
[41:45] there's a lot of great
people in this county
[41:48] and they all want all of those
things that I've just mentioned.
[41:54] And that gives me hope
that we can work together
[41:58] collectively
[42:01] to advance those ends.
[42:03] Personally, I'm willing
to do whatever it takes
[42:06] to advance that cause.
[42:08] So in that regard,
[42:10] I look forward to working with
each one of you and speaking
[42:13] with each one of
you in the New Year.
[42:15] Thank you.
[42:24] Good evening. Howard
Rudet, Rock Hill District.
[42:26] But I stand here today as
someone that volunteered about
[42:29] eight hours a day, every
day at early voting.
[42:32] And I can tell you seventy
percent of this county have no
[42:35] idea who you are.
[42:36] As people would come up
to early voting, we'd ask,
[42:38] do you want an absentee or do would
you like a ballot, sample ballot?
[42:41] They said, yes. No. Whether it
was red, blue, didn't matter.
[42:44] I said, what district
are you from?
[42:47] Stafford.
[42:48] So that's a good start.
[42:49] You are in the right
county, but which district?
[42:51] We had maps there to show people
and then why not not sure.
[42:55] I live by the elementary school.
[42:57] Right? We've narrowed
it down some.
[42:58] I said, well, there's more
than one elementary school.
[43:00] Which elementary school?
[43:01] Well, the one by the Wawa.
[43:04] I said if they said sheets, we
might have got a little closer,
[43:06] but they said Wawa.
[43:08] Then it became door south,
east, west division,
[43:13] pulling out the phone,
[43:14] using the great information
that Anna Hash had,
[43:16] and people figured
out where they voted.
[43:18] So that tells me that anytime
that you say you've talked to
[43:21] your constituents, you've
talked to maybe on a good day
[43:25] thirty percent of the people,
[43:27] and the other seventy
percent have no clue.
[43:29] This is a fixable problem
because guess what?
[43:33] If you're voting in this county,
[43:35] you're probably
getting utility bill.
[43:38] You're probably getting a
property tax bill as well.
[43:41] The data is in and in
the registrar's hands.
[43:44] Why not on every one of
those bills just put,
[43:48] you live in the Acquire
Magisterial District?
[43:52] Your supervisor is Maya Guy.
Here's her email address.
[43:56] Your school board member
is your planning committee.
[43:59] This is solvable.
[44:01] So when issues come
up in Stafford,
[44:04] you can hear from all
of your constituents,
[44:06] and people can go to the polls
informed and ready to go.
[44:11] The other thing when
we both they say, nope.
[44:13] I know how I'm voting.
I'm walking in.
[44:14] And we say, well, you know,
[44:15] there's no party designation next
to to local down ballot candidates.
[44:20] Like, what do you mean?
[44:22] I said, well, unless
you've done your research,
[44:24] you're not gonna know because
some of you are very specific
[44:26] in how you were gonna vote.
[44:28] I would have hoped you would
have done your research and
[44:30] realized whether you wanted
to vote for one party or the
[44:33] other, one person or the other,
[44:35] based on who they are
and what they stand for.
[44:38] So there's a big lack
of understanding and
[44:42] knowledge within the county
that is solvable at probably no
[44:45] cost, one time coding to put
that information on these bills.
[44:49] And I think you'll have a more
informed public to come up here
[44:52] and speak on issues
if you do that.
[44:53] Thank you all. Have
a good evening.
[45:04] Rick McGregor, Acquired
District, Chairman Diggs,
[45:07] members of the Board.
[45:08] Happy New Year and
welcome new members.
[45:11] I have made I have been involved
with Stafford history all my life.
[45:14] Time has actually made me
part of Stafford's history.
[45:18] I was president of the
Historical Society in the
[45:20] nineteen eighties.
[45:21] Many of our members were
elderly descendants of the
[45:23] original colonial
families of Stafford.
[45:25] Some were from White Oak.
[45:27] They knew Stafford history because
they lived it just as I have.
[45:30] Not one of them claimed to
have any knowledge of an Indian
[45:33] tribe in Stafford
in their lifetimes.
[45:35] The original Potawatomi tribe
disappeared from the records in
[45:38] sixteen sixty six.
[45:39] But in twenty ten,
[45:40] the general assembly recognized
a group of people claiming to
[45:43] be the descendants of the
original tribe and claiming to
[45:47] have abundant
records proving it.
[45:48] Now people unfamiliar with
Stafford's history assume they
[45:52] are Indians because
the state said so.
[45:54] As a result, the Virginia Department
of Education and the Secretary of
[45:57] the Commonwealth and others are
now promoting this group's made
[46:00] up undocumented history.
[46:02] Schoolchildren across the
Commonwealth are being taught
[46:05] that a group of white people in
Stafford County are a genuine
[46:08] Native American tribe.
[46:10] The general assembly did not do their
due diligence in vetting this group.
[46:13] They never saw any records
of proof because there are none.
[46:17] Trying to get them to address
this problem that they created
[46:20] reminds me of the
emperor's new clothes.
[46:22] No one wants to admit there are
no clothes or, in this case,
[46:25] records supporting this
group's legitimacy.
[46:29] There are thousands of
official, local, state,
[46:32] and federal records clearly
showing this group to be white,
[46:35] but no one wants
to consider them.
[46:37] For more information,
[46:38] search discover stafford
dot org patawomek.
[46:41] Land grants, cash grants,
along with local, state,
[46:44] and federal tax dollars
have been and are
[46:47] being doled out to this group
in the belief that they are
[46:50] Native Americans.
[46:51] A bill sponsored by
representatives Vindman and
[46:54] Whitman is now pending in
congress to give this group of
[46:57] white people federal
recognition as an Indian tribe.
[47:00] This is serious and
needs to be addressed.
[47:02] Our efforts to inform
them have been ignored.
[47:05] We thank you again for
asking for the records.
[47:07] The absence of those records after
months of waiting speaks loud and clear.
[47:12] There are no records.
[47:13] And without them,
[47:14] recognition was given under
false pretense and should be
[47:16] deemed null and void.
[47:18] We respectfully ask your help
in persuading the general
[47:21] assembly to remediate
this travesty.
[47:24] Thank you.
[47:40] Welcome.
[47:42] Jerilyn Eby McGregor,
Rock Hill District,
[47:45] Happy New Year.
[47:46] The PITV's federal
recognition bill contains
[47:50] twenty findings purporting to
summarize the group's history.
[47:55] Contained therein are
fifteen gross errors.
[47:59] The goal is to create the
illusion that the Patawamics
[48:02] have existed continuously
in Stafford since the 1600s.
[48:06] Please recall that historical
records include no mention of
[48:10] this tribe after
sixteen sixty six.
[48:13] Finding ten states, quote,
In seventeen eighty nine,
[48:17] White Oak Church
was established.
[48:19] This church, which still stands,
[48:21] became a significant space
that facilitated the continued
[48:25] interaction of members of
the Potawomack community who
[48:29] attended well into the 1900s
and used this regular meeting
[48:32] opportunities as venues
to pass down and maintain
[48:37] tribal knowledge and traditions,
[48:38] meet suitable Patawama
marriage partners,
[48:41] and conduct business in formal
and informal ways, unquote.
[48:45] Note the wording
of the next line.
[48:47] Quote, Generations of Patawamaic
[48:50] ancestors account for the vast
majority of the interments in
[48:53] the cemetery, including members
with the surnames of Newton,
[48:57] Greene, Curtis, Jet,
and Mantith, unquote.
[49:00] We're led to assume the
families mentioned are Indians.
[49:04] But where's the proof?
[49:06] That's what you asked for
last May and never received.
[49:10] Using Ancestry, we ran
lineages on many of those
[49:14] buried at White Oak Church,
[49:15] and the vital statistics for
every one of them are white
[49:19] as far back as
those records exist,
[49:22] to at least eighteen ten.
[49:24] Those same families held
elected and appointed positions
[49:27] in Stafford government,
some going back to the
[49:30] 1600s.
[49:32] These include judges,
sheriffs, tax collectors,
[49:35] court commissioners, election
officials, and others,
[49:38] sixteen pages of them.
[49:40] Some were even members of the
Falmouth and Fredericksburg
[49:43] Masonic lodges.
[49:44] People of color weren't
allowed to do these things.
[49:48] White Oak Church's meticulous
records begin in seventeen
[49:51] eighty nine and are held by
the Baptist Historical Society.
[49:54] I've been through every page
and have found no mention of
[49:58] Indians. White Oak Church
was never an Indian church.
[50:02] Please work with the General
Assembly to revoke the PITV
[50:05] state recognition before they
become federally recognized
[50:10] fake Indians.
[50:11] Thank you.
[50:15] Anyone else wishing to
address the board? All right.
[50:17] Seeing none, we're going to
bring it back to the board.
[50:20] Okay. Next, we're going
to have a closed session.
[50:23] Will the vice chair, Ms. Guy,
read us into closed session?
[50:29] Whereas the board desires
to hold a closed session for
[50:33] one consultation with legal
counsel regarding a proposed
[50:36] electric transmission
line project,
[50:39] which is a specific legal
matter requiring the provision
[50:42] of legal advice by
such counsel and two,
[50:47] discussion and consideration
of specific appointees of the
[50:50] board and whereas
pursuant to Virginia Code
[50:53] 2.2-3711A1
[50:57] and A8, such discussions
may occur in closed meeting.
[51:02] Do I finish reading
that other part?
[51:04] Second.
[51:06] All right.
[51:07] Cast your votes.
[51:14] Alright. That
passes unanimously.
[51:17] We are gonna now be in closed
session in the ABC conference room.
[52:55] Alright. Welcome back.
[52:59] I'm going to read us
out of a closed session.
[53:09] Mr. Chairman, the time is
now nine twenty nine p.
[53:11] M, and everyone is present.
[53:13] All right. Thank you.
[53:37] Whereas the board has, on this,
[53:41] the sixth day of January
twenty twenty six,
[53:44] adjourned into a closed meeting
in accordance with a formal
[53:47] vote of the board and in
accordance with the provisions
[53:50] of the Virginia Freedom
of Information Act,
[53:53] and whereas the Virginia
Freedom of Information Act
[53:56] provides for certification
that such closed meeting was
[54:00] conducted in conformity
with the law.
[54:02] Now therefore be it resolved
that the Stafford County Board
[54:05] of Supervisors does
hereby certify on this,
[54:08] the sixth day of January
twenty twenty six,
[54:12] that to the best
of each member's knowledge, one,
[54:15] only public business matters
lawfully exempted from open
[54:18] meeting requirements under the
Virginia Freedom of Information
[54:21] Act, and two, only such
public business matters
[54:25] as were identified in the
motion by which the closed
[54:28] meeting was convened
were heard, discussed,
[54:30] or considered by the board.
[54:33] All right.
[54:36] Okay.
[54:37] Second.
[54:38] Okay. Got a motion and a second.
[54:40] Go ahead and cast your vote.
[54:47] Alright. That
passes unanimously.
[54:53] Alright.

move to the consent agenda.
[54:56] Are there any items that the
board wishes to pull from consent?
[55:01] Alright.

[55:04] Oh.
[55:09] Who's the list? Seven
