plans to concentrate on natural and artificial lighting and flowers using a digital
camera. Originally from Michigan, Verbeek has lived in Isle of Wight with her
husband Michael and two children for
14 years. When not working full-time at

Board of Supervisors guide county policy
Each of the five districts in Isle of
Wight County elects a representative to
the five-member Board of Supervisors.
The Supervisors are County
residents who are popularly
elected. Elections are held for
a seat in each of the respective
districts — Newport (Carrollton area), Smithfield, Hardy
(Courthouse/Rushmere areas),
Windsor and Carrsville.
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.
Infor mation 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 www.

Attend a meeting
The Board of Supervisors meets each month on the third Thursday with a
closed session at 5 p.m. The public meeting starts at 6 p.m. and is held on the
second floor of the community development building (old county administration
building) on U.S. 258, midway between Smithfield and Windsor.
Isle of Wight staff oversees county operations
Isle 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.
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. Anne F. Seward was appointed by the board as county administrator
in October 2013.
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

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.

Boards and Commissions
Planning Commission oversees land development
Isle of Wight County’s growth and
development is managed by a 10-member
Planning Commission that serves as an
advisory committee to the Board of Supervisors.
The goal of the Planning Commission
is to ensure that future land use and development is in keeping with the County’s
long-range plans.
The Planning Commission uses the
County’s Comprehensive Plan as a blueprint to ensure that development proceeds
in an orderly and efficient manner.
Each of the County’s five election
districts has two representatives on the
Commission, who are appointed to fouryear terms by the Board of Supervisors.
The Planning Commission is advised
by Beverly H. Walkup, the county’s director of planning and zoning.
The Planning Commission meets on
the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m.
in the Robert C. Claud Sr. Board Room at
the Isle of Wight Courthouse complex.

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
unique conditions 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.
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.
The meetings are held on the first
Monday of each month, as necessary, at
6 p.m. at the Isle of Wight Courthouse
complex.

Regulating wetlands, dunes
The Isle of Wight Wetlands Board enforces the county’s wetlands ordinance
that aims to preserve and prevent the
destruction of wetlands while accommodating economic development.
Residents who want to develop or impact wetlands or primary sand dunes and
beaches must file a joint permit application with the Virginia Marine Resources
Commission for distribution to the
county’s Wetlands Board. Public notice
is also required along with notification
to adjoining property owners.
When the Board determines that the
anticipated private and public benefit
of the proposal exceeds the anticipated
detriment, the proposal conforms to
state guidelines and will not violate the
ordinance, the Board may grant a permit.
Action of the Wetlands Board is subject
to review by the VMRC.
There are five members on the Wetlands Board appointed by the Board of
Supervisors. The Board meets the third
Monday of each month, as necessary, at 6
p.m. at the courthouse complex.

Treasurer keeps track of county tax revenues
Isle of Wight County Treasurer, Judith
C. Wells, is responsible for all actions regarding depositing, receipting, investing,
reconciling and disbursing of funds. The
Treasurer is an elected constitutional
officer who serves a four-year term. The
Treasurer collects personal property taxes, real estate taxes, animal license fees,
permit fees, utility bills, state income taxes and state estimated taxes. Real estate
taxes and personal property taxes are paid
twice a year in Isle of Wight County. The
payment due dates are June 5 and Dec. 5.
Vehicles are prorated monthly.
Stormwater fee
In compliance with federal and state
mandates, Isle of Wight County adopted a
stormwater fee in 2013. All developed real
estate property owners will be assessed a
fee of $72 per year. This stormwater fee
will be added as a separate line item on
the real estate tax bills, and the fee will
be billed $36 on each half. Commercial
real estate accounts will need to contact
Melissa Lindgren at General Services.
She can be reached at melissa.lindgren@
isleofwightus.net or by phone at 357-5442
Payment methods
The Treasurer’s Office accepts payments by credit card, debit card, money
order, cash or check. A drop box is located
outside the administration building for
making payments. Taxpayers may also
pay their personal property and real estate bills online at www.co.isle-of-wight.
va.us. There is a 2.4 percent charge on
the payment amount for the convenience
of credit/debit card payments. A new
payment method is available, which is an
automatic draft from your account. An
authorization agreement is required in order to provide this service. For additional
information about this program, contact
the Treasurer’s Office at 365-6228.
Isle Pre-Pay program
Isle Pre-Pay is a program by which
citizens are able to pay their personal
property taxes and real estate taxes in
monthly installments instead of one lump
sum. The program allows taxpayers to
make 10 estimated payments monthly
from January through October. By prepaying, taxpayers have the ability to satisfy
their tax liability and avoid paying taxes
during the holiday season. The program
is completely voluntary. The Isle Pre-Pay
Program is open to accounts with an
annual tax liability over $50 and must
not have any delinquent balances. Real
estate taxes paid by a mortgage escrow
are not eligible to enroll in the program.
Estimated payments will be based on the
previous year’s personal property and real
estate taxes. Vouchers will be mailed in
January and will be due by the 5th of each
month through October. Regular personal
property and real estate tax bills will be
mailed May 1 and will be due June 5. Regular personal property and real estate tax
bills will be mailed at the end of October
and will be due on Dec. 5. The regular tax
bill will contain the balance due (annual
or semi-annual charge minus any prepayments). Taxpayers may pay any voucher
or simply choose to pay only the June 5 or
Dec. 5 bill. This program will be a benefit
by providing an easy method of paying
personal property taxes and real estate
taxes. For more information, contact the
Treasurer’s Office at 365-6228.

When you are ready to move out, you
are also required to inform the Public
Utility Department at Isle of Wight in
writing on our disconnection request
form so that we can schedule the final
reading, and apply the deposit to the final
bill. It is important to provide a forwarding address so that any deposit refund can
be mailed out to you and/or receive your
final bill. Customers may be held responsible for utility services that exceed the
move out date if notification is not given.
A disconnection form is required when
disconnecting service.
For tap fees, commercial account
connections and disconnections and commercial water/sewer rates, call 365-1650.
Good to know
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 his or her
local tax return.

Public education
Isle of Wight public schools serve more than 5,500 students
Division overview
Isle of Wight County Schools is committed to preparing approximately 5,500
students in all nine of its fully accredited
schools for excellence in the 21st century.
The division provides an array of rigorous educational programs supported
by the latest technologically advanced
instructional resources. As part of the
isle 21 program, IWCS is the only Region II
school division to offer a 1:1 iPad initiative
where students are encouraged to challenge themselves in a collaborative global
learning environment. IWCS continues to
gain momentum in student achievement
by narrowing the gap in Standards of
Learning (SOL) pass rates and SAT scores.
Recent data also shows the school division’s on-time graduation rate of 93 percent surpasses the state average and the
number of students enrolling in two- or
four-year colleges has never been higher.
Equitable excellence
Ranked 16th out of 132 school divisions across the state of Virginia by
Schooldigger.com, IWCS is the recipient
of numerous national, regional and state
commendations, including National Blue
Ribbon School, Title I Distinguished
Schools, National Merit Scholars, Gates
Millennium Scholars, Harry F. Byrd Leadership awards and many more.
Innovative instruction
Isle of Wight County has nine schools,
all of which are accredited or fully-accredited by the Virginia Standards of Learning. Smithfield High School and Windsor
High School serve students in grades
9-12. Smithfield Middle School (grades
7-8) and Georgie D. Tyler Middle School
(grades 6-8) serve the county’s middle
school population. Carrsville Elementary

Beyond books
The award-winning, nationally recognized IWCS Food Services Department
serves more than 3,700 nutritious meals
each day. 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 one-fourth. Food Services
participates in the Farms to Schools program, receiving freshly grown vegetables
from local growers like Browder’s Fresh
Pickins’.
The Transportation Department coordinates a fleet of 81 school buses, safely
transporting students more than one
million miles annually.
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, twitter
page (@IWCSchools) and local radio and

Paul D. Camp offers wide range of degree programs
Paul D. Camp Community College (PDCCC) remains committed to its mission to
“provide diverse learning opportunities
to enhance the quality of life for students
and the community.” The community or
service area, which is vital to the College’s
mission, is comprised of the cities of
Franklin and Suffolk and the counties of
Southampton and Isle of Wight. PDCCC,
one of 23 colleges in the Virginia Community College System, enrolls over 2,020
students annually, with approximately 325
enrolling from Isle of Wight County each
year. PDCCC at Smithfield, serving many
of these students, was established in 1993
and is located on the second floor of the
Blackwater Regional Library’s Smithfield
branch on James Street.
PDCCC at Smithfield, established in
1993, is located on the second floor of the
Blackwater Regional Library’s Smithfield
branch on James Street.
PDCCC at Smithfield offers an array of
general education courses such as public
speaking, U.S. history, introduction to
psychology, and college composition. In
addition to an assortment of courses, the
Smithfield site offers students options
in course delivery. Although traditional
classroom settings are offered, the Smithfield site also utilizes technology to offer
interactive video and hybrid courses. A
hybrid course is one in which a portion
of the course is taught online, providing
students with an opportunity to utilize
distance learning.
In addition to PDCCC at Smithfield,
the college has campuses in Franklin
and Suffolk. Through both campuses
and the Smithfield site, the college is
able to offer associate degree programs
in business administration, education,
general studies, science, administration
of justice, administrative support technology, early childhood development,
industrial technology, management and
nursing. Thirty career studies certificates
also are available. Through guaranteed
admissions agreements, PDCCC students
with an associate’s degree can seamlessly
transfer to more than 20 four-year colleges
in the state.
Dual Enrollment courses are also
offered at Smithfield and Windsor high
schools. Offered throughout the state by
Virginia’s Community Colleges, Dual
Enrollment programs allow qualified
high school students to enroll in college
coursework while still in high school,
earning high school and college credit
simultaneously.
A vital arm of PDCCC is its Division
of Workforce Development, which offers
a broad array of training and services to
meet the needs of new and existing employers throughout the college’s service
region. Some of the employers served
from Isle of Wight last year include
Smithfield Packing, Franklin Lumber, ST
Tissue, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
and the International Paper Fluff Mill.
The Division offers a wide variety of
open enrollment, online and community
education classes, as well as customized
training. Many businesses and organizations take advantage of the Division’s
WorkKeys job profiling and job candidate
assessment services. Plans for year 2015
include the expansion of Kids College and
the Encore Learning Program.
The PDCCC Career Development Center (CDC) is assisting individuals with
education and career plans, job search,
internships, cover letters and resumes, interviewing and soft skills, and referrals to
supportive services. The CDC has served
over 600 individuals through its four
locations, including its office at PDCCC
at Smithfield.
PDCCC promotes registration with its
Virginia Education Wizard, www.VaWizard.org, an online, one-stop resource that
helps students and their families make
informed decisions about college and
career choices.
PDCCC is a partner and an asset to
the communities it serves, whether it
be in Franklin, Suffolk, Smithfield or
online. Regular office hours at PDCCC at
Smithfield are from noon to 7 p.m., with
instruction/classes from noon to 10 p.m.,

Sheriff’s office has wide range of responsibilites
Public 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 was elected in November 2011 and 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.
Administrative Services
The Administrative Services Division
has both sworn and civilian employees
working with accreditation, records
management, crime prevention, fiscal services, training and community relations.
They are committed to achieving and
maintaining state law enforcement accreditation. They also continue to develop
and update agency policy.
Courts/Civil Process
The Courts/Civil Process
Division is located at the
Young-Laine Courts Building
in Isle of Wight.
The duties of these deputies are divided in two distinct
areas: courthouse security and
civil process. They are responsible for maintaining secure
court operations, including
supervision of prisoners
awaiting court hearings and
proceedings. They also serve
civil papers, execute evictions
and levies on property and
assist road deputies with calls
for service.
are responsible for responding
to calls for service, enforcing criminal and traffic laws,
serving arrest warrants, conducting preliminary investigations and patrolling county
highways and roads to ensure
safety and security for homes,
schools and businesses.

Investigations
The Investigations Division’s mission is to solve crimes that have
occurred and to prevent crime by identifying, analyzing and addressing conditions
that allow crime to occur.

adopting a regional approach to solving
them by working closely with surrounding jurisdictions, state and federal agencies.
Animal Services
The Animal Services Division is
committed to public safety and animal
protection through its shelter facility,
adoption programs, community education
and animal law enforcement.
The philosophy is to promote responsible pet ownership and to provide care
of all animals with a commitment to
integrity and compassion. There are two
units in this division: animal control and
shelter operations. The animal shelter is

Coast Guard Auxiliary
Many people take advantage of the
local waterways for recreation or occupation, and Smithfield Flotilla 59 of the
United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is
here to help them do so safely.
Authorized by Congress in 1939, the
Auxiliary performs all missions that
Congress has authorized the Coast
Guard to perform, with the exception
of direct law enforcement and military
action.
The Auxiliary’s main mission is
to promote recreational boater safety
through training and public education.
The auxiliary presents public education courses, performs courtesy marine
examinations of boats and patrols local
waters to provide boater assistance. In
addition to these missions, fellowship
among members is an important ingredient in auxiliary membership.
Flotilla 59 is looking for new members to become involved in carrying
out these missions. Besides public
assistance and the good fellowship,
auxiliary membership also provides
opportunities to improve boating knowledge and skills.
Boat ownership is not required, but a
desire to provide a service to the boating
public is necessary.
Anyone who is interested is invited to
attend a monthly meeting or call Flotilla
Commander Peter Faleski at 279-0342 for
additional information. Flotilla meetings are held on the third Monday of
each month at 7 p.m. at the Isle of Wight

Fire and rescue
Isle of Wight served by dedicated volunteers
Hundreds of volunteers make up 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-ofpocket 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.
Responders are certified under rigid
state training standards and have Emer-
gency Medical Technician
and Paramedic training.
The departments also
work closely with the
Nightingale Air Ambulance that operates from
Norfolk General Hospital.
Through this cooperation, emergency workers
are able to airlift critical
patients directly to medical facilities.

Fire Protection
Isle of Wight County is divided into
six geographical territories, and each
of those areas is served by one of Isle of
Wight County’s five volunteer fire departments as well as Chuckatuck Volunteer
Fire Department in Suffolk. Residents in
these zones should call 911 for an emergency.
The departments govern themselves
and are responsible for their own finances,
but the Isle of Wight Board of Supervisors contributes to the departments and
assist with operating costs and equipment purchases. The County owns the
buildings that house all of the volunteer
departments.
The departments set their own training standards, which includes qualifying
their members under nationally accepted
standards adopted by the state and administered by qualified state instructors.
The departments use modern firefighting
techniques and are equipped with up-todate firefighting equipment.
Because each of the fire departments
and rescue squads rely on private contributions for much of their operating
money each year, the mailing address of
each is included below.

Town of Smithfield
IW includes two towns
Smithfield Town Council
Isle 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, founded in 1752, is the larger and older of the two towns, with a 2010
census population of 8,089.
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 town administration.
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 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.
Smithfield’s treasurer’s office, water
and sewer department and planning engineering and public works department are
in Town Hall, 310 Institute St. Offices are
open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
town manager’s office and clerk’s office
are located at 911 S. Church St. For more

Youth organizations
Groups offer youth learning, athletic opportunities
The continued success of Isle of
Wight’s youth activities has resulted in a
growth in popularity and participation.
The achievement of these programs can
be measured with children earning ribbons at the Virginia State Fair as part of
4-H to youth competing for national championships in Pop Warner football. Several
county youth organizations provide a
variety of activities for young people.

4-H Youth Development
4-H is the youth development education
program of Virginia Cooperative Extension committed to assisting youth, and
those adult volunteers, in acquiring the
knowledge, life skills and attitudes that
help them become self-directing, contributing and productive members of society.
The central theme of 4-H education is
“learn by doing,” and the four H’s stand
for Head, Heart, Hands and Health.
4-H participants are all youth, ages 5
to 18, taking part in programs provided
by Extension personnel in cooperation
with volunteers. Four-H is community
centered, volunteer led, extension staff
supervised, research based, home and
family oriented, publicly and privately
funded and responsive to change. This
informal education program is conducted by our state land-grant universities
(Virginia Tech and Virginia State), the
U.S. Department of Agriculture and local
governments. The land-grant university
system consists of teaching, research
and extension education. Extension 4-H
programs are a partnership involving local residents, volunteers, private support,
three levels of government and universities. 4-H is the only nationwide youth
education program that is an extension
of a university system.
For information on becoming a 4-H
member or adult volunteer, call 365-6261.
Girl Scouts
Isle of Wight and Surry county girls
ages 5-17 have the opportunity to participate in the local Girl Scout service unit.
The Isle of Wight/Surry Service Unit is an
active group with many events scheduled
each month, including yearly camping
trips, craft fairs, an awards banquet, picnics, cultural celebrations, community
service activities and more!
For membership and volunteer information, contact the Girl Scout Peninsula
Service Center at 595-9802 or visit www.
gsccc.org.
