I see nothing in the Code of Virginia allowing any amendments. Although opinions allowing such may be out there, they precede the amendments to Virginia Code Section 22.1-93 in 2008 and 2015 wherein the General Assembly required approved line items budgets to be published. The budget is as approved by the Board of Supervisors. It sure seems to me that once a Board of Supervisors approved line-item budget has been published, if it can be amended, it must be after a public hearing and with the consent of the Board of Supervisors. If you have an opinion on this, please share it with Mr. Helsley at helsley@shentel.net and 540-335-2978. Thanks very much.\r\n\r\nBrad Pollack\r\nAttorney\r\nMember, District 3\r\nShenandoah County Board of Supervisors","id":4,"type":"textarea"}}
