Isle of Wight County's top policy makers
I
sle of Wight County is represented
by five supervisors elected from
the county's five election districts
— — Newport (Carrollton area), Smithfield, Hardy (Courthouse/Rushmere
areas), Windsor and Carrsville.
The supervisors are county residents
who are popularly elected in the November general election.
The supervisors’ four-year terms are
staggered. Representatives from Newport, Windsor and Smithfield districts
are elected in one year, and representatives from Hardy and Carrsville districts
are elected two years later.
The Board of Supervisors appropriates funds for county operations and
projects by using revenues acquired via
the imposition of taxes.
The supervisors establish and
influence the direction of the county’s
programs and services through the
taxes levied and the priorities set in the
annual budget.
Amendments to that budget may be
made throughout the year.
The Board also passes all ordinances
and determines all policies that govern
the county.
The five supervisors retain the final
authority and responsibility for governmental matters that are not assigned to
constitutional officers or other agencies.
Information on Board agenda items
is published five days in advance of
board meetings and may be reviewed
at the county administrator’s office at
the Isle of Wight Courthouse complex.
Board meeting minutes are also available for review at the county administrator’s office. Board agendas and meeting
minutes are also available online at

I
sle of Wight’s county government
offices are located at the courthouse complex on U.S. 258. County
offices are responsible for day-to-day
operations ranging from economic
development to overseeing zoning laws
and from trash collection to public
utilities. For an overview of some of the
services and where the corresponding
office is located, see Page (TK).
County Administrator
The County Administrator’s Office
follows through on decisions made
by the Isle of Wight County Board
of Supervisors and keeps the county
government running. The County Administrator, appointed by the Board of
Supervisors, is the chief administrative
officer of the county and manages the
policies of the Board of Supervisors.
Sanford B. Wanner was appointed by the
board as Interim County Administrator
in February 2016.
An administrator’s main responsibility is to see that the affairs of the
county are conducted responsibly. Other
primary responsibilities include recommending services, public improvements
and developing an annual budget for the
county. Those recommendations are
reviewed and/or revised by the Board
of Supervisors. The administrator also
supervises county employees.
The annual budget, developed by the
administrator, is presented to the Board
of Supervisors every spring and the
board accepts the budget as prepared,
or more likely, suggests revisions before
giving it final approval.
County Attorney

advice to the Board of Supervisors and

manner.
Each of the County’s five election
districts has two representatives on the
Commission. Commissioners are appointed to four-year terms by the Board
of Supervisors.
The Planning Commission is advised
by Beverly H. Walkup, the County’s Director of Planning and Zoning. The Department of Planning and Zoning also

Board of Building Appeals
If a permit applicant feels the code
has been interpreted contrary to the
code requirements or if a request
for modification to the code has been
denied by the Department of Inspections, an appeal may be made to
give the applicant another chance to
present his or her case.
The local Board of Appeals reviews applications when it is requested. Appeals may be heard concerning
application of the Building Code or
refusal to grant a modification to the
provisions of the code. Members
of the Board of Appeals are chosen
by the Board of Supervisors based
on their ability to render competent
decisions on appeals growing out of
enforcement of the building code.
The owner of a building or his
agent can appeal to the local Building
Code Board of Appeals within 90 days
of a building official’s decision.

Zoning appeals
The Isle of Wight Board of Zoning
Appeals provides relief in special
cases to zoning regulations that cannot be written to accommodate every
circumstance or situation.
The Board’s function is to hear
and consider requests for variances
from the county’s zoning ordinance
when adherence would cause undue
hardship to a property owner based
upon conditions unique to the
property and not the result of the
property owner’s actions.
Prior to hearing an application
for variance, public notice of the
Board’s intent to consider a variance
is required, along with notification
to the adjacent property owners.
This enables the community and
interested citizens the opportunity
to express concerns regarding the
application.
Only after undue hardship is
proven by the applicant, and it’s
determined the variance will not
injure or endanger other property or
people, a variance may be granted by
the Board.
There are five members on the
Board of Zoning Appeals, one to
represent each election district in
the county. These Board members
are appointed to five-year terms by
the Circuit Court.
The meetings are held on the first
Monday of each month, as necessary,
at 6 p.m. in the Robert C. Claud Sr.
Board Room at the Isle of Wight
Courthouse complex.

Penalties
The Code of Virginia imposes penalties for late tax payments. Failure to
receive a tax bill does not excuse late
charges. It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to verify property ownership and to
ensure it is assessed correctly and taxes
are paid on time.
A taxpayer whose address has
changed since last year should notify the
Commissioner of Revenue when filing
local tax returns.

Encouraged Engagement
Isle of Wight County Schools is
committed to student achievement and
recognizes the direct connection between parent involvement and student
success through a variety of activities
such as open houses, parent/teacher
conferences, Parent-Teacher Associations, Band and Athletic Booster clubs,
the Watch D.O.G. program and more.
The Education Foundation is a
partner organization of the division,
whose board of directors includes local
business owners, residents and parents.
Parent participation has also increased with access to student grades
through PowerSchool, a web-based student management system. This program
gives parents of students in grades 3-12
online access to grades, and attendance
records for their children.
Beyond Books
The award-winning, nationally recognized IWCS Food Services Department
serves more than 3,700 nutritious meals
each day, fueling students’ academic
performance and inspiring the development of life-long dietary health and
wellness behaviors. IWCS meals meet
the recommendations of the new USDA
guidelines, which include daily minimums for fruits, vegetables, grains,
proteins and milk by the appropriate
age/grade group. School lunch provides
approximately one-third of the daily
nutrition needs for children and school
breakfast provides approximately onefourth. Food Services constantly strives
to offer the best quality products for
all students and as a participant in the
Farms to Schools program, our schools
have the unique benefit of receiving
freshly grown vegetables from local
agricultural providers like Browder’s
Fresh Pickins’.
Community Connections
If schools are closed or delay opening
due to inclement weather, students and
parents will be notified by the following methods: Connect 5 (notification
to parent’s choice of home phone, cell
phone or email), the division web site,
social media and TV stations. IWCS has
also launched a School Issue Tip line
where students, parents, employees and
members of the community can anonymously report concerns that could
potentially pose a threat to students,
staff and schools. The tip line is monitored daily by school division personnel,
and calls will be referred to the appropriate school administrator and/or
Isle of Wight County law enforcement
official. Issues can be reported by calling
357-0908. Isle of Wight County Schools

P
ublic safety and law enforcement
services are provided by the Isle
of Wight County Sheriff ’s Office, an
agency whose broad mission has a commitment to utmost professionalism and
integrity at its core.
Isle of Wight County has the historical distinction as one of Virginia’s eight
original shires in 1634. At that time, the
safety and security of the shire fell upon
an appointed “shire reeve,” a person of
rank representing the crown. The word
“sheriff ” is a contraction of this term.
The Governor of the colony appointed the shire reeve—sheriff—but eventually this process evolved into a constitutional election by the residents taking
place every four years.
Today the Isle of Wight Sheriff ’s
Office is led by Mark A. Marshall, who
assumed office Jan. 1, 2012. Prior to his
election, he served in state and local law
enforcement for over 27 years, the last 19
years as chief of police for the town of
Smithfield.
Mission Statement
The Isle of Wight County Sheriff ’s Office is dedicated to protecting the lives,
property and rights of all citizens by
providing professional law enforcement
service built upon a firm foundation of
ethics and integrity while we maintain
partnerships within the community we
have the honor of serving.
The agency incorporates contemporary policing practices with a common
sense approach. The office is comprised
of five divisions: Administrative
Services, Courts/Civil Process, Investigations, Animal Services and Uniform
Patrol.

Fire and rescue
Dedicated fire, rescue volunteers serve IW residents
H
undreds of volunteers comprise
Isle of Wight County’s Volunteer
Fire and Rescue Departments. Their
efforts save county taxpayers money
each year and are a source of pride not
only for the volunteers, but also for the
communities they serve.
Because of the increasing number of
emergency calls throughout the county,
county officials integrated several paid
rescue and fire personnel into the Isle of
Wight Volunteer Rescue Squad, Smithfield Volunteer Fire Department, Windsor Volunteer Rescue Squad Carrolton
Volunteer Fire Department and the
Carrsville Volunteer Fire Department.
Due to the costs associated with the
provision of EMS services, the county
has implemented a Revenue Recovery
System in lieu of raising funds through
an increase in the county’s tax rate. This
System consists of billing patients for
ambulance transports to local hospitals.
Patients will be asked to provide
their medical insurance information
so their insurance company, Medicare
or Medicaid may be billed directly. Also
available is a subscription service that
allows county residents or individuals
that work in the county to pay a minimal
annual service fee that will satisfy any
potential out-of-pocket expenses related
to the ambulance transport fees.
Rescue Squads
Medical emergencies are answered
by the Isle of Wight Volunteer Rescue
Squad, the Windsor Volunteer Rescue
Squad, the Carrollton Volunteer Fire
Department and the Carrsville Volunteer Fire Department, which provide
emergency care and transportation to
local hospitals.
These organizations utilize modern
apparatus equipped with technologically
advanced medical equipment, enabling
responders to provide the same level of
care available in localities with much
larger departments.

I
sle of Wight County is home to two
towns, Smithfield and Windsor.
Town residents elect members to their
own town councils, which oversee the
town’s affairs. The two towns also play
an integral part in county government.
Smithfield and Windsor residents pay
town taxes in addition to their county
taxes, and in return receive a variety of
extended services. Towns are similar to
special taxing districts, in that they provide services not offered by counties and
collect the funds for these services.
Smithfield
Smithfield, located in the northern
end of the county, is the larger of the
two towns with a 2010 census population
of 8,089. Founded in 1752, Smithfield is
the older of the two towns in the county.
Smithfield is one of colonial Virginia’s best-preserved communities, and
its historic district is included in the
National Register of Historic Places.
The town is governed by a seven-member council elected by town
residents. The town’s mayor is selected
by the council members.
The town manager, hired by the council, oversees the day-to-day operations of
the town and implements the policies set
forth by the council. The town manager
has authority over all town administrative functions.
In addition to town taxes, Smithfield
residents must also pay county taxes.
For those additional taxes, the residents
receive a variety of additional services,
including schools, building inspections
and animal control. A major service
town residents receive is a police department. The Smithfield Police Department, headed by Police Chief Steven G.
Bowman, provides 24-hour protection.
The Smithfield Volunteer Fire Department and the Isle of Wight Volunteer Rescue Squad have their headquarters located within the town. Their
services are available to both town and
county residents.
Other services available to town
residents include the maintenance of
streetlights, streets and sidewalks, as
well as planning, zoning and engineering services. The town also maintains
a public water and sewage system and
offers door-to-door trash pickup and
curbside recycling once a week for its
residents. The town also owns and operates The Smithfield Center.
The Town of Smithfield and Isle of
Wight County equally fund the local
Convention and Visitor Bureau.

and sewer department and planning
engineering and public works department are in Town Hall, located at 310

offices are open weekdays from 9 a.m.

Isle of Wight's libraries also community centers
I
sle of Wight has three libraries
located throughout the county to
serve its citizens, and all are part of the
Blackwater Regional Library system.
Smithfield Branch
The Smithfield Branch, housing more
than 40,000 items, moved to its present
location in the old Smithfield High
School building in 1989. The Smithfield

Windsor Branch
The Windsor branch was the realization of a dream that started with the
founding of the Friends of Windsor
Library in 1993. The building, located at
18 Duke St., opened in January 1995 and
was built by students at the Pruden Center. The library was expanded in 1995 to
accommodate the children’s collection.

held Tuesdays at 10:45 a.m. for ages 2-5.
The library also provides outreach story

January 1984 in a small 600-square foot
building located at the entrance of the

of the Blackwater Regional Library. In
1999, the library moved to a new 5,600
square foot building at 14362 New Towne
Haven Lane off Brewer’s Neck Boulevard in Carrollton.
Each week features two story
hours, one for children ages 2-3 and
another for ages 3-5.

and adults and wireless Internet access.
The libraries also feature reference
services and databases, fax and copy, a
community meeting room for not-forprofit groups, volunteer opportunities,
and workshops, classes, and events.
Library cards are free and provide
access to materials at all nine branches
in the Blackwater Regional Library
system. All materials check out for two
weeks and may be renewed up to 3 times
