Votes at a glance: Chesterfield County Council approves multiple ordinances, budget readings and a Fair Housing resolution

Chesterfield County Council recorded unanimous votes April 6 on a slate of ordinances, budget first readings and a Fair Housing resolution during a regular meeting that featured no recorded objections and limited discussion in the minutes.

Items passed or moved at the meeting include: a Noise ordinance (second reading, adopted); Bay Springs Fire Dues (first reading passed); Wal‑Mart FILOT (first reading passed); lease‑purchase for Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office vehicles (first reading passed); 2026‑2027 Cash, Harris Creek and Alligator RFD budget ordinances (first readings, by title only); the 2026‑2027 General Fund Budget ordinance (first reading, by title only); a Vape Shop ordinance (first reading, by title only); and an update to the Procurement Code (first reading, by title only). Council also adopted a Fair Housing resolution.

All recorded motions were made, seconded and carried unanimously. The meeting minutes do not record extended debate on these items, specific ordinance text, or vote tallies by individual member for each first‑reading item; the minutes consistently record motions as passed unanimously. Where an ordinance was passed on first reading, the minutes indicate only that the reading was by title (the minutes do not include full ordinance text).

The council’s actions on these items are recorded in the meeting minutes and are reflected in the agenda item entries.
