- **Z-23-0004/MP-23-0001** — Westwood Park Rezoning.
Because only the agenda is available, vote tallies and final decisions are not yet on the record.
James City Service Authority Board of Directors — July 14
The James City Service Authority Board was set to formally accept water and sewer systems for Fiscal Year 2026 and adopt meeting minutes. The agenda also listed a public comment period, a general manager's update on July 2026 reports, and a continuation of the meeting to July 28, 2026.
No outcomes are confirmed; minutes have not been published.

The board also planned to consider an amendment to its 2026 calendar. Minutes are not yet available, so no decisions can be reported.
Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee — July 16
The AFD Advisory Committee met at the County Government Center Board Room. The agenda included routine items — call to order, roll call, and approval of minutes from the April 16, 2026 meeting — along with one substantive item: renewal of the Agricultural and Forestal District.
Minutes have not been published, so the outcome of the renewal discussion is not yet on the record.
