    Delegate Rob Bell says he is hearing from a lot of Fluvanna County constituents who are worried about Aqua Virginia's proposed water and sewer rate hikes.

    Bell recently wrote a letter to the State Corporation Commission (SCC) to make it aware of those concerns. Aqua Virginia is asking that rates be increased by 40 percent for water and 50 percent for sewer at Lake Monticello.

    Right now, the SCC is reviewing the rate increases to determine whether or not they are appropriate.

    "The increases have been so substantial," said 58th District Delegate Bell (R). "Obviously, these are hard economic times. You have people on fixed incomes. They're very worried about paying these increases indefinitely going forward."

    Bell says the commission is hoping to make its ruling in a matter of weeks, not months.

    I wanted to take a quick moment to thank those of you that voted for me in the Lake Monticello Board of Directors election.

    I will do my best to represent ALL property owners at Lake Monticello, and select groups or sections.

    If you ever need to contact me about an LMOA issue, please feel free to do so through the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of this page. (I don't actually list my email address on this site due to recent heavy activity by spammers)

    Sincerely,

    There are no elected officials that impact Lake Monticello more than elected directors to the LMOA Board of Directors. Directors are the leaders and managers of this corporation and this community. Money is very important but even more important is the quality-of-management of that money and the overall management of the corporation and community in which we live.

    I am convinced that Britt Johnson and Gary Dillon are the leaders we need on the LMOA Board of Directors. They will be informed directors who will listen respectfully to property owners. They will keep property owners properly informed. They are experienced, knowledgeable and committed to back-to-basics to assure proper decisions are in place. They will not rubberstamp poor decisions.

    Britt and Gary have demonstrated the tenacity of strong, proven managers and the determination to speak the truth to the property owners. They do not avoid asking the most difficult questions and refuse to pander to the status quo. I believe their conclusions will be based on solid analysis and a demand for all of the facts pertinent to a given issue.

    Directors have not only a legal but also a moral responsibility to spend the property owners’ money wisely, and to govern justly. I believe Britt Johnson and Gary Dillon are men of integrity and good business judgment. I will be voting for them. I hope you will also.

    The Fluvanna County School Board approved its $34 million budget Wednesday night. School employees are taking a pay cut to balance a thin budget.

    Salary decreases range from 2 to 4.5 percent and are based on income, but Superintendent Tom Smith says no one will lose his or her job. The district does have 18 openings due to retirement or resignation and some of these positions could be filled.

    The school is operating with $4.5 million less than last year.

    From the Fluvanna Review:
    Blue Ridge Mountain Sports, a high-end outfitter with seven stores in Virginia including Charlottesville, is moving its headquarters to Fluvanna County. The company will move next month into the building formerly occupied by the Conestoga Tile Company in the Starlite Industrial Park near Zions Crossroads. The building will also serve as a distribution point for some of its product. The move will bring about a half-dozen jobs to the county over the next several years.
