Members of the public may request that the Board consider an item on a future agenda in four different ways:

• Contact the County Executive 
• Contact your Magisterial District Supervisor
• E-mail the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
• Sign up to speak at a Board of Supervisors meeting and make a public request to the entire Board of Supervisors.

 

Proclamations are ceremonial documents adopted by the Board of Supervisors for the purpose of public awareness, charitable events, arts and cultural celebrations and other special honors.  A proclamation can be a formal declaration of a day/week/month in honor of a special event.

All requests for proclamations must be submitted in writing and go through a review and approval process.  Requests can be hand delivered, submitted via email, or by U.S. mail to the Clerk to the Board.  To ensure efficient processing, the Board of Supervisors office asks that requests are made at least one month in advance of the date that the proclamation is needed.  Requests for proclamations are limited to one per organization and/or individual per year.  Please note that submissions may be revised to meet the requirements of Albemarle County. 

For more information, please contact clerk@albemarle.org. 

 

In accordance with State Code § 2.2-3707, notice of meetings are posted at least three working days prior a meeting, except for special meetings.  Proposed agendas and agenda packet materials (unless exempt) are provided to the public at the same time as such documents are furnished to the members of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors.  At present, agendas are provided to the Board of Supervisors six days before the meeting date. 

Agendas and agenda materials for special meetings will be distributed to the public contemporaneously with the Board of Supervisors.
