Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD): Five members of the Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD, Evening Patrol Division) visited. Captain Kevin Miller, Blue Ridge District Commander, answered questions regarding concerns from the audience regarding speeding in the neighborhoods and strategies to reduce it. He noted that there have increases in thefts of guns from unlocked vehicles and admonished the audience to always lock your car and never leave valuables in plain sight inside the car. There are also increases in calls for service related to mental health; fortunately, Region 10 has many programs to help people in distress.
Ann Mallek, our county supervisor, spoke on the two new members of the Board of Supervisors, the necessity of snow removal on sidewalks, issues with open burning and the distance between burn piles, the need for background checks for visitors to the schools, even when not entering the building, and enforcement of leash laws for dogs.
Lonnie Murray, our planning commissioner, reported that there were no new updates.
Presentation on the Crozet Park Aquatics & Fitness Center (CPAFC) expansion project (Melissa Boucher, Founder of Boucher Impact Company).
The infrastructure of our beloved Crozet Park is aging, and it is not going to even be possible to just fix things. The Park needs a whole new modern building. In addition, demand is high and increasing for Park programs, including childcare, youth-oriented, and swimming, but all programs are already at capacity.
A site plan has been prepared, but it has not yet been approved. The proposed building will include two stories, with both indoor and outdoor pools, exercise rooms/classrooms, pickleball court, and space for community meetings or receptions. Concerns about landscape buffers and invasive species will be dealt with.
To make all this happen, the Park will need $18,000,000.00. To raise this sum, the Park intends to acquire a loan, and for this they need to fundraise from the community for $5,000,000.00 to put down for the loan for it to be approved. The Park staff estimates that once the project is finished and the new building is finished, it will only take a couple of years to pay off the loan.

- Article IV: The Bylaws were amended to read “Meetings will be held the first Tuesday of the months of January, March, May, September, and November . ..” by unanimous vote.
