AND TWO, ONLY MATTERS IDENTIFIED IN THE CONVENIENT MOTION WERE DISCUSSED.
>> THANK YOU. WOULD YOU CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE?
[WORK SESSION]
WE'RE NOW IN OUR WORK SESSION.FIRST ITEM IS A BUDGET UPDATE.
>> HI. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A BRIEF UPDATE THAT WE HAVE ON THE FY23 BUDGET.
YES. MR. YOUNG IS GOING TO PULL DOWN THE [NOISE] SCREENS AND I HAVE A POWERPOINT WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET THAT TALKS ABOUT A BROAD OVERVIEW OR ACTUALLY THE DETAILS OF THE OVERVIEW OF CHANGES FROM THE TIME THAT MR. STOKE PRESENTED THE INTRODUCED BUDGET TO YOU ON MARCH 22, UNTIL WE ADVERTISE THE BUDGET FOLLOWING YEAR, MARCH 29TH, WORK SESSION, THROUGH TODAY, AS YOU CONSIDER ADOPTING THE BUDGET THIS EVENING.
WHEN IT COMES UP, THE FIRST SEGMENT IS RELATED TO OUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET.
BUT THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET WAS $69,069,370.
[NOISE] AS THE BOARD IS AWARE, WE RECEIVED UPDATED REAL ESTATE ASSESSED VALUES, JUST PRIOR TO YOUR WORK SESSION ON MARCH 29TH, AND THE BOARD DID ADJUST THE TAX RATES TO ADVERTISE, WHICH IN TURN DID REDUCE OUR REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
YOU TOOK ACTION TO REDUCE YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX RATE, THE REAL PROPERTY REDUCTION BY ANOTHER PENNY FROM 83 AS IT WAS INTRODUCED TO 82, RESULTED IN ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE TAX AND YOUR MOBILE HOME.
BUT WITH THE INCREASE IN ASSESSED VALUES THAT MR. COWEN PRESENTED, YOU ACTUALLY ENDED UP WITH A NET INCREASE IN REAL ESTATE TAX REVENUES.
THE BOARD ALSO TOOK ACTION THAT EVENING TO REDUCE THE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX RATE TO ADVERTISE FROM 395 TO 390, WHICH DID RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES OF NEARLY 201,000.
SOCIAL SERVICES REVENUES WERE SLIGHTLY INCREASED, $803.
[00:05:03]
SOME EXPENDITURE CHANGES THAT RESULTED FROM THESE REVENUE CHANGES WAS OUR TRANSFER TO THE SCHOOL DIVISION.WE ALSO RECEIVED AN UPDATE THAT OUR HEALTH INSURANCE RATES DID NOT NEED TO INCREASE FOR THE FY23 BUDGET YEAR, SO THEREFORE, WE WERE ABLE TO REAP SOME SAVINGS.
THROUGHOUT THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND THE OTHER FUNDS THAT HAD HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS. OUR TRANSFERRED TO RCJA WAS REDUCED BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE SAVINGS.
AND WE ALSO HAD RECEIVED SOME UPDATED EXPERIENCE FROM SOME EMPLOYEES WHICH RESULTED IN A HIGHER STEP PLACEMENT, WHICH TOTAL JUST OVER $118,000.
BECAUSE THE VALUE OF A PENNY GREW WITH MR. COLLINS UPDATES OF OUR REAL PROPERTY ASSESSED VALUES, WE ALSO INCREASED OUR GENERAL FUND TRANSFER TO THE CIP FUND FOR BOTH APPARATUS AND EQUIPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR ORDINANCES, 74-4 AND 74-6.
THEN OUR GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY, WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE THAT BY $52,000.
THE BUDGET THAT WAS ADVERTISED FOR OUR BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING WAS 68,951,487, WHICH IS $117,883 LESS THAN WHAT WAS INTRODUCED ON MARCH 22ND.
NOW, SINCE THE ADVERTISEMENT, WE HAVE ACTUALLY MADE SOME CHANGES WITH AN EXPENDITURE LINES IN THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET BASED ON UPDATED INFORMATION AND/OR BETTER TREND INFORMATION THAT WE HAD WHEN THE BUDGET WAS INTRODUCED AND ADVERTISED.
THERE ARE NO REVENUE CHANGES BEING PROPOSED FROM WHAT WE HAD ADVERTISED ON MARCH 29TH, IN LARGE PART DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE APPROVE THE BUDGET.
SO WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING ANY REVENUE CHANGES.
WE WERE NOT RECOMMENDING ANY LOCAL REVENUE OR REVISIONS EITHER.
WE COULD SEE SOME CHANGES FROM THE COMPENSATION BOARD AND/OR SOCIAL SERVICES, WHEN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DOES APPROVE THEIR BUDGET.
BUT WE WILL BRING THAT TO YOU IF IT'S MATERIAL IN THE WAY OF AN AMENDMENT.
WE KNOW THAT AS A RESULT OF OUR AWARD FOR JANITORIAL SERVICES, WE DO NEED TO INCREASE WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE INTRODUCED BUDGET BY $20,425 TO SATISFY THAT CONTRACT REQUIREMENT.
MR. STOKE ALSO PROVIDED YOU WITH AN UPDATE ON MAY 5TH FROM RIVERSIDE JAIL.
THEY ACTUALLY REQUESTED AND THEIR BOARD APPROVED INCREASING THE PER DIEM BY A $1.50, FROM 50 AS IT WASN'T SITTING IN OUR INTRODUCED BUDGET TO $51.50 PER DAY FOR THE INMATES HOUSED AT OUR RIVERSIDE JAIL.
THAT RESULTING INCREASE IS ESTIMATED AT $75,008.
WE ALSO HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR MAGISTRATE'S OFFICE ON SECURING THEM A COPIER.
WHEN THEY DID THEIR BUDGET PRESENTATION TO US, IF THE BOARD HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW THAT VIDEO, THEY HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH FAX MACHINES AT A RAPID PACE, REPLACING THEM REGULARLY AS WELL AS THEIR COMBINED PRINTERS.
THE VOLUME THAT THEY DO, THE LESS EXPENSIVE MACHINES ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE IT.
WE DID INCLUDE SOME MONIES, AND THEY INTRODUCED AN ADVERTISED BUDGET TO SECURE THEM A COPIER.
WE ACTUALLY HAD A COPIER THAT THE COUNTY OWNED THAT WAS RECENTLY UPGRADED THAT WE AGREED TO LET THEM HAVE IF THEY WOULD TAKE OVER THE MAINTENANCE ON IT.
WE BUDGETED THE MAINTENANCE, AND IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A SAVINGS FROM WHAT WE'D INCLUDED IN THE INTRODUCED BUDGET, JUST 579, BUT WE WERE REAPING THAT SAVINGS.
THEY ARE WELL SATISFIED WITH THE COPIER.
WE'VE ACTUALLY MADE THE TRANSFER TO THEIR OFFICE ALREADY, AND OUR OTHER SERVED LOCALITIES THAT UTILIZE THE MAGISTRATE'S SERVICES HAVE BY AND LARGE AGREED TO HELP PAY THAT COST, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE BILLING THEM WHEN WE BILL FOR THE CLERK ADMINISTRATOR.
[00:10:01]
MS. HURT, HAS ADJUSTED THE RANGES A LITTLE BIT FROM THE TIME THE BUDGET WAS INTRODUCED.ALSO WE HAVE STAFF TURNOVER THAT I'VE PULLED IN FROM THE TIME THAT THE PERSONNEL COMPLEMENT WAS PULLED DOWN FOR THE MARCH 22ND PRESENTATION.
WE PULLED THAT DOWN MID-FEBRUARY, AND WE MADE UPDATES TO OUR PERSONNEL COMPLEMENT THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF MAY.
I HAVE PULLED THOSE IN, AS WELL AS THE CHANGE THAT YOU RECENTLY APPROVED FOR GENERAL SERVICES ON MAY 10TH, AND THAT NET INCREASE IS ALMOST $30,000.
ADDITIONALLY, DENISE WOLFF HAS HAD SOME TURNOVER IN RCJA, A PROBATION OFFICER LEFT THAT DID NOT TAKE OUR HEALTH INSURANCE.
THAT INDIVIDUAL WAS REPLACED BY SOMEONE WHO DID.
THAT IS GOING TO RESULT IN AN INCREASED TRANSFER TO RCJA FROM WHAT WE HAD ADVERTISED.
IT IS STILL SLIGHTLY LESS THAN WHAT WAS IN THE INTRODUCED BUDGET, BUT STILL A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN WHAT WE ADVERTISED, 3,482 DOLLARS.
WE ALSO ARE SEEING PHONE CHARGES A LITTLE HIGHER TREND.
WHEN I DID THE MARCH 31 QUARTERLY REPORT, I NOTICED SOME TRENDING ABOVE WHAT WE HAD INITIALLY INCLUDED IN THE INTRODUCED BUDGET, ABOUT 22,000 DOLLARS GENERAL FUND IMPACT TO MORE ACCURATELY BUDGET FOR TELEPHONE USE INCLUDING CELL PHONES.
WE ALSO WENT THROUGH OUR HEALTH INSURANCE OPEN ENROLLMENT RECENTLY WITH THE END DATE OF MAY 6TH, RATHER, VERY SMALL INCREASE.
USUALLY, IT WORKS OUT IN THE WASH, AND IT ALMOST DID THIS TIME, BUT ANOTHER 1,400 DOLLARS.
GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY WILL NEED TO DROP BY 151,722 DOLLARS FROM THE NUMBER THAT WAS ADVERTISED TO TAKE CARE OF THE NET IMPACT OF THESE EXPENDITURE CHANGES.
THAT STILL LEAVES YOU WITH A CONTINGENCY FOR ADOPTION OF 725,143 UNLESS THE BOARD DID DISCUSS CHANGES IN CLOSED SESSION, WHICH I WOULD NEED TO PULL INTO THE ADOPTED BUDGET.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, OUR CURRENT YEAR CONTINGENCY IS 360,322.
IT IS STILL QUITE A BIT HIGHER THAN THE ADOPTED FY 22 CONTINGENCY.
THOSE ARE THE GENERAL FUND CHANGES.
DID BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE CHANGES BEFORE I MOVE INTO ALL FUNDS?
>> ALL RIGHT. ALL FUNDS, VERY SIMILAR STORY.
THE INTRODUCED ALL FUNDS BUDGET WAS 116,135,263 DOLLARS.
THE GENERAL FUND CHANGES BETWEEN INTRODUCED AND ADVERTISED WERE 117,883 AS WHAT'S DEPICTED ON THE PREVIOUS WORKSHEET.
UTILITIES ALSO [NOISE] INCREASED BASED ON SERVICE CREDIT ADJUSTMENTS BY JUST UNDER 3,000 DOLLARS.
RCJA AGAIN HAD A SAVINGS OF 13,000 INITIALLY.
THE LOCAL TRANSFER TO THE SCHOOL DIVISION DROPPED BY 41,747 BASED ON YOU LOWERING THE REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX RATES SUCH AS MARCH 29TH WORK SESSION.
THEN, OF COURSE, OUR CAPITAL FUND INCREASED BY 15,000 BECAUSE THE VALUE OF A PENNY INCREASED FOR FIRE APPARATUS AND EQUIPMENT.
THEN OUR INTER-FUND IMPACT TRANSFERS BETWEEN FUNDS WAS 33,627 DOLLARS.
CHANGES BETWEEN THE BUDGET THAT WAS INTRODUCED ON MARCH 22ND AND THE BUDGET THAT WAS ADVERTISED FOLLOWING YOUR MARCH 29TH WORK SESSION WERE 121,874 DOLLAR REDUCTION.
THAT'S THE TOTAL THAT WAS ADVERTISED.
NOW THE BUDGET FOR ADOPTION, OF COURSE, THE NET CHANGE TO THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS ZERO.
[00:15:04]
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE DID MAKE CHANGES, WE JUST SHIFTED FROM THE CONTINGENCY TO VARIOUS LINE ITEMS, SO THEN THAT NET CHANGE IN THE GENERAL FUND IS ZERO.RCJA IS INCREASING AGAIN BY 6,966 DOLLARS BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN THE PERSONNEL COMPLEMENT AND THE TURNOVER EXPENSE OF THE EMPLOYEE, THE PROBATION OFFICER, HEALTH INSURANCE IMPACT.
OUR CAPITAL FUND INCREASED BY 15,030 DOLLARS BECAUSE THE AMOUNT THAT I HAD PUT IN AS A PLACEHOLDER FOR [NOISE] SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS DEBT WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, SO OUR GENERAL FUND TRANSFER FOR FIRE AND EMS EQUIPMENT INCREASED.
THEN THE INTER-FUND IMPACT WAS A REDUCTION OF 18,512, SO REALLY TOTAL CHANGES BETWEEN ADVERTISED AND ADOPTION ARE JUST 3,484 DOLLARS, SO NOT A LOT OF CHANGE THERE.
THIS BOTTOM AREA DEPICTS THE CHANGE, AND OTHER FUNDS.
BUT JUST SO THE BOARD IS AWARE, THESE ARE THE GENERAL FUND FOR ADOPTION, AGAIN, IS 68,951,487 DOLLARS, WHICH IS A 6,360,793 DOLLAR INCREASE FROM FY22.
THE ALL FUND BUDGET FOR ADOPTION IS 160,016,873 DOLLARS, WHICH IS A 25.6 MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE FROM FY22.
OVER HALF OF THAT IS RELATED TO SCHOOL FUNDS.
ANOTHER 30 PERCENT IS RELATED TO UTILITY FUNDS.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.
I'LL GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A RECAP PRIOR TO ADOPTION, AND IT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR BOOK OF WHAT THE MAJOR GENERAL FUND INITIATIVES ARE, AS WELL AS YOUR OTHER FUNDS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTED ALL FUNDS BUDGET, SCHOOL FUNDS, RCJA, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, AND UTILITIES.
>> WE HAVE NO OTHER ITEMS ON THE WORK SESSION.
I WILL CALL A RECESS UNTIL SEVEN O'CLOCK.

[BACKGROUND] SHOULD WE DO A1 FIRST?>> A1, ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL FISCAL PLAN FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 22/23. MS. DRURY.
>> GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS, MR. STOKE AND MR. WINTON.
THE BOARD HAS HAD NUMEROUS WORK SESSIONS AND OUR BRIEFINGS ON THE FY23 BUDGET.
BEHIND TAB 9 AND YOUR BOARD PACKET, YOU RECEIVED SOME INFORMATION REGARDING THE BUDGET THAT IS BEFORE YOU FOR ADOPTION THIS EVENING.
YOU ALSO RECEIVED A SEPARATE NOTEBOOK WITH LINE ITEM DETAILS AS WE HAD THEM TODAY.
JUST TO RECAP A FEW HIGHLIGHTS, I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME BECAUSE AGAIN, WE'VE DISCUSSED IT AT LENGTH MULTIPLE TIMES.
THE REAL PROPERTY TAX RATE WAS APPROVED AT 82 CENTS, WHICH IS A FOR SOME REDUCTION FROM THE CURRENT 86 CENTS, PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX RATE WAS DROPPED BY 35 CENTS FROM $4.25 PER $100 OF ASSESSED VALUE TO $3.90.
THE MOBILE HOME AND PUBLIC SERVICE TAX RATES MIRROR YOUR REAL PROPERTY TAX RATE AT 82 CENTS.
THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE MACHINERY AND TOOLS TAX RATE AND THE MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSE FEE WAS ELIMINATED FOR FY23 AND ACTUALLY WILL BE ELIMINATED AND THE BILLS THAT ARE FORTHCOMING SOON THAT WILL BE DUE JUNE 24TH.
IN YOUR PACKET, YOU DID RECEIVE A SUMMARY OF CHANGES THAT WE DISCUSSED IN THE WORK SESSION AS ATTACHMENT A.
YOUR POSITION CONTROL CHART WAS INCLUDED AS ATTACHMENT B AND RECAPS, THEY HAVE NET OF FOUR POSITIONS THAT WERE APPROVED FOR ADDING IN FY23, SUMMARY OF BUDGET INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED AS ATTACHMENTS C, AND PROBABLY THE MOST USEFUL ATTACHMENT IS ATTACHMENT D, THAT RECAPS THE MAJOR INITIATIVES WITHIN THE BUDGET.
THE LARGEST GENERAL FUND CHANGE WAS THE TRANSFER TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
THAT TOTALS NEARLY 1.5 MILLION INCREASE OVER THE CURRENT YEAR TRANSFER.
PAY IMPROVEMENTS WERE APPROVED FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES TO INCLUDE A FIVE PERCENT SCALE ADJUSTMENT AND STEP PLACEMENT FOR NON-PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYEES TO ADDRESS A COMPRESSION.
SIMILAR ACTIONS WERE TAKEN FOR PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE CURRENT YEAR.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN A FIVE PERCENT PAY INCREASE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES.
HOWEVER, PAY RAISES WILL RANGE FROM ZERO TO DOUBLE-DIGIT INCREASES IF EMPLOYEES ARE COMPRESSED.
THOSE WHO DO NOT RECEIVE AT LEAST A TWO PERCENT PAY INCREASE WILL RECEIVE A ONE-TIME BONUS THAT EQUATES TO TWO PERCENT OF THEIR CURRENT SALARY.
SOME ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES WERE APPROVED.
WE WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN OUR RIVERSIDE REGIONAL JAIL CONTRIBUTION, AS WELL AS OUR VRS CONTRIBUTION.
CSA IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS WELL.
THE RECAP OF REVENUES IS ON PAGE 1 OF ATTACHMENT D. THE BOARD IS AWARE OF NUMEROUS LOCAL TAX REVENUES THAT WILL INCREASE, BECAUSE OF INCREASES IN ASSESSED VALUE.
WE DO EXPECT TO SEE INCREASES IN REIMBURSEMENTS FROM CSA AND RB POLL TAXES AS WELL AS REAL PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
WE EXPECT TO SEE DECLINES AND INTEREST REVENUE.
WE ARE ELIMINATING OUR IN-HOUSE CHARGES FOR
[00:45:03]
GARAGE REPAIRS AS THOSE WERE ACTUALLY JUST INFLATING OUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET.THOSE EXPENDITURES AND REVENUES ARE BEING ELIMINATED.
WE WILL ALSO SEE AN ELIMINATION OF OUR MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSE FEE OF 1.1 MILLION.
THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET THAT IS BEFORE YOU FOR ADOPTION THIS EVENING IS $68,951,487 AND IS 6.36 MILLION HIGHER THAN THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET OR 10.16 PERCENT.
THE ALL FUNDS OR TOTAL BUDGET SCHEDULE FOR ADOPTION IS $160,016,873 AND IS 25.6 MILLION HIGHER THAN THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THERE IS A RESOLUTION IN YOUR PACKET FOR ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET.
AS THE BOARD IS AWARE, THE STATE HAS NOT APPROVED A BUDGET.
WE ARE ADOPTING OUR BUDGET PREDICATED ON THE BEST ESTIMATES WE HAVE AT THIS TIME FOR STATE REVENUES.
WHEN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DOES APPROVE THE STATE BUDGET, WE MAY COME BEFORE YOU WITH SOME AMENDMENTS.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM MAY AS WELL, IF THEIR STATE REVENUE PROJECTIONS ARE HIGHER THAN WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTED BUDGET.
THEY ARE PART OF THE TOTAL ALL FUNDS BUDGET OF $160 MILLION.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
>> IF NOT, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION?
>> MADAM CHAIR, BEFORE YOU HAVE A MOTION, I HAVE A STATEMENT TO MAKE REFERENCE TO ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET.
I'VE DECLARED PUBLICLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT I WORKED FOR COUNTY AS A PART-TIME DEPUTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR SINCE APRIL 15TH, 2013.
BECAUSE MY SALARY AS A DEPUTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR EXCEEDS $5,000, I HAVE A PERSONAL INTERESTS IN THOSE TRANSACTIONS BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY AFFECT MY POSITION WITH FIRE, EMS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
NEVERTHELESS, THE VIRGINIA CONFLICT OF INTEREST ACT ALLOWS ME TO PARTICIPATE IN A BROAD RANGE OF TRANSACTIONS BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS THAT GENERALLY AFFECT THE FIRE EMS DEPARTMENT AS LONG AS I MAKE A PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, SINCE I INTEND TO PARTICIPATE AND VOTE ON THE COUNTY BUDGET, PUBLICLY DECLARED THAT I AM A MEMBER OF A GROUP OF MORE THAN THREE PERSONS WHO ALSO WORKED FOR THE FIRE, EMS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT WHO MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE BOARDS TRANSACTION OF ADOPTION, A BUDGET THAT AFFECTS THE DEPARTMENT.
NUMBER 2, THE BUDGET TRANSACTION AFFECTS THE PUBLIC GENERALLY, AND NUMBER 3, I AM ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BUDGET ADOPTION THAT AFFECTS THE DEPARTMENT FAIRLY OBJECTIVELY, AND THEN THE PUBLIC INTERESTS.

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES.
>> GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. STAGG, MR. WITTEN, AS YOU KNOW, WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THE WATER SUPPLY TO MEET OUR FUTURE WATER DEMANDS HERE IN THE COUNTY.
ONE WAY WE ARE LOOKING AT TO TRY TO INCREASE THE WATER SUPPLIES AND MAKE A CONNECTION TO THE VIRGINIA AMERICAN WATER SUPPLY.
DOING SO, WE NEED TO FIRST SOLICIT ENGINEERING SERVICES.
THEREFORE, WE DID A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS THAT WAS ADVERTISED ON JANUARY 11TH AND THE CLOSING DATE WAS ON FEBRUARY 9TH.
BASED ON THOSE PROPOSALS, WE INTERVIEWED FOUR OF THE FIRMS. AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE INTERVIEWS, WE SELECTED GANNETT FLEMING AS THE FIRM TO AWARD THIS CONTRACT TO.
WE HAVE RECEIVED A PROPOSAL FROM GANNETT FLEMING TO PERFORM THE ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR A NEW TANK AND BOOSTER STATION THAT WILL BE LOCATED ON MIDDLE ROAD.
THAT IS [NOISE] THE AMOUNT OF $407,160.
[00:50:03]
AN APPROPRIATION IS REQUIRED TO COVER THE COST OF THESE SERVICES.WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE USE OF THE ARPA FUNDS TO COVER THAT.
THAT IS THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDS.
NOW, THE BOARD HAS PREVIOUSLY COMMITTED 2.75 MILLION IN APRA FUNDS FROM THE FIRST TRANCHE FOR UTILITY PROJECTS WHICH IS BUDGETED IN THE HOLDING/UNDESIGNATED UTILITIES PROJECT ACCOUNT WITHIN THE APRA FUND.
THEREFORE, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND AN AWARD OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE EVALUATION, DESIGN, PERMITTING, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES FOR THE ROUTE 156 WATER TANK AND PUMPING STATION TO GANNETT FLEMING FOR $407,160.
WE ALSO RECOMMEND THE USE OF THE APRA FUNDS AND THE AMOUNT OF $407,160 TO FUND THE COST OF THESE SERVICES.
>> [NOISE] MADAM CHAIR, IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, I SO MOVE THAT WE WOULD APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES TO THE EVALUATION, DESIGN, PERMITTING, [NOISE] AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROUTE 156 WATER STORAGE TANK TO GANNETT FLEMING FOR $407,160.
>> I WOULD SECOND THAT, MA'AM.
>> THANK YOU. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.
>> IT'S TIME FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.
[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
PUBLIC HEARING, MRS. WALTON, P1MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. STAGG, MR. WITTEN.
[NOISE] IN YOUR PACKETS THIS EVENING UNDER TAB 14 IS OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST OF DUNCAN AND SUZANNE FUNG, FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO PERMIT AN ASSEMBLY HALL AND WEDDING VENUE WITHIN THE RA RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED OFF OF LAKE FUNG'S ROAD, WHICH IS OFF OF ROBIN ROAD ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF OUR COUNTY.
THIS IS A GIS MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY, IS OUTLINED IN RED IN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE MAP.
THE RA DISTRICT IS IN THE LIGHT YELLOW AND THE RED IS OUR COMMERCIAL'S PART OF OUR BUSINESS DISTRICT.
[NOISE] THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE MAP SHOWING THAT TOPOGRAPHY AND THE WOODLAND AROUND THE AREA OF THE PARCEL.
THE LAKE IS PART OF THE OWNER'S PROPERTY AS WELL.
LAKE FUNG ROAD IS SHOWN AND OUTLINED IN RED AS THE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY.
THE OWNERS BUILT A STRUCTURE AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING.
THEY HAVE DECIDED THEY WOULD LIKE TO RUN A VENUE HERE WITH LIMITED EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND USE THEIR PROPERTY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU'VE SEEN AT OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE COUNTY.
THIS IS OVERALL SUMMARY OF THE REQUEST WITH THE DETAILS IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL.
STAFF HAS REVIEWED AND PROVIDED COMMENTS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET, AS WELL AS AGENCY SUCH AS VDOT IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
THEY HAVE PROPOSED A SEPTIC CAPACITY FOR 150 PEOPLE, WHICH WOULD BE THEIR MAX OCCUPANCY FOR ANY EVENT.
THESE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF THE STRUCTURE THEY'VE BUILT.
[NOISE] THIS IS THE INTERIOR WHERE THEY HAVE CURRENTLY OPENED UP THE BARN AREA FOR A VENUE.
[NOISE] THE COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM STAFF AND FROM THE VARIOUS AGENCIES ARE INCLUDED.
[00:55:06]
SOME OF THEM ARE HIGHLIGHTED HERE.THERE ARE SOME EXPECTED IMPACTS AND APPLICANTS AS YOU ARE AWARE, ARE REQUIRED TO LOOK AT EXPECTED IMPACTS AND OFFER CONDITIONS THAT HELP MITIGATE THOSE IMPACTS.
THE IDENTIFIABLE IMPACTS WERE TRAFFIC AND NOISE.
TO ADDRESS THAT, THE LOCATION IS A HALF-MILE OFF OF ROBIN ROAD AND IT IS SURROUNDED BY WOODLANDS AND ALSO SURROUND THEM PROPERTY IS MOSTLY OWNED BY THE SAME OWNER.
THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENT PARCELS THAT HE OWNS THAT SURROUND THIS PARCEL.
THERE IS ONE SIDE THAT DOES HAVE SOME ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS.
THE SURROUNDING LAND USES ARE FARM AND WOODLANDS, AS WELL AS SOME SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS.
THERE ARE OTHER APPROVALS AND PERMITS REQUIRED THAT ARE LISTED, AND IT IS STAFF'S DETERMINATION THAT IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, GIVEN THE LIMITED USE, AS WELL AS THE AESTHETICS OF THE STRUCTURE.
[NOISE] BUILDING INSPECTIONS DID HAVE COMMENTS ON WHAT PERMITS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO USE THE STRUCTURE AS A WEDDING ASSEMBLY BUILDING.
THOSE REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE REVIEWED THROUGH A REQUIRED CHANGE OF USE PERMIT.
VDOT DID LOOK AT THE LAYOUT AND THE ENTRANCE AND THE PROPOSAL AND WILL DETERMINE AT THE TIME OF PERMIT INSIGHT REVIEW WHETHER A COMMERCIAL ENTRANCE WOULD BE REQUIRED OR NOT.
THAT'S PART OF THEIR REVIEW PROCESS ONCE THEY APPLY FOR THEIR PERMITS.
THERE WERE SOME OTHER COMMENTS.
OF COURSE, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY LOOKED AT THE WELL IN SEPTIC AND WE'RE WAITING THE FINAL REVIEWS AND COMMENTS ON THAT ENVIRONMENTAL AND REAL ESTATE ASSESSORS OFFICE.
THE CONDITIONS THAT STAFF DEVELOPS WITH THE APPLICANT, AND THESE HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND AGREED UPON BY THE APPLICANT ARE COMPLETELY LISTED IN YOUR PACKET.
BUT THE HIGHLIGHTS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE EXPECTED IMPACTS OR THE HOURS OF OPERATIONS MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY FROM NOON UNTIL 10.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WILL CONCLUDE BY 7:00 PM.
INGRESS AND EGRESS RESTRICTED TO LAKE FUNG'S ROAD.
THIS PARCEL WAS A LARGE PARCEL, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER PARCELS OWNED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER.
DO YOU HAVE A DEEDED ACCESS OFF OF GOLF COURSE DRIVE? THE OWNER HAS AGREED TO LIMIT ANY ACTIVITIES AT THE VENUE TO ONLY LAKE FUNG'S DRIVE TO AVOID ANY CONFLICTS WITH EXISTING NEIGHBORS ON GOLF COURSE DRIVE.
THE APPLICANT DID GO THROUGH OUR GIS OFFICE AND ADDRESSING REQUIREMENTS AND HAVE THE LEGAL ADDRESS CHANGE FOR THIS PARCEL TO LAKE FUNG'S DRIVE.
HE IS AGREEABLE TO PROVIDING ADEQUATE OFF STREET PARKING AND GRAPPLED SURFACES.
AGAIN, IT'S NOT SET UP FOR A KITCHEN, SO THERE'S NO FOOD PREP, BUT CATERING, THERE'S A WARMING AREA FOR CATERS.
THE OCCUPANCY IS LIMITED TO 150 PERSONS PER EVENT WILL BE POSTED.
ALSO THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO RESTRICT IT TO FOUR EVENTS PER MONTH AND TO APPLY FOR THE CHANGE OF USE APPLICATION ANY OTHER PERMITS AND CERTIFICATIONS REQUIRED.
STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS ATTACHED TO THE CASE.
THE BASIS OF THAT IS THAT THE REQUEST APPEARS COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING LAND USES.
THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS PROVIDED SERVE TO HELP MITIGATE ANY POSSIBLE NUISANCES OR IMPACTS.
I THINK IT'S STUCK ON ME. THERE WE GO.
QUESTIONS? I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
I WILL PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED.
>> JUST ONE. WHEN THEY STATED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY,
[01:00:05]
FOUR EVENTS A MONTH OR PROBABLY EVERY WEEK, AND IF THEY POSSIBLY GET THAT MUCH BUSINESS AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL, CAN THEY STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE EVENTS DURING THE WEEK OF SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AT THE SAME TIME THAT'S ALLOWED ON HERE AT 10:00 PM AT NIGHT?>> [NOISE] IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE APPLICANT THAT THE WEDDING, THE OUTSIDE EVENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD BE RESTRICTED TO FOUR EVENTS PER MONTH.
>> FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS IT'S STATED?
>> YEAH, TYPICALLY ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS.
>> BUT THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE DATES?
>> THEY CAN HAVE DIFFERENT EVENTS DURING THE WEEK.
HE DOES OFFER AND I'VE TALKED WITH HIM ABOUT THAT THERE ARE SOME SMALL GROUPS THAT ARE TYPICALLY INSIDE ONLY; NO OUTSIDE EVENTS.
BUT HE HAS HOSTED HIS FAMILY REUNION AT THIS PLACE.
HE HOSTED A CLUB MEETING THAT HE'S A MEMBER OF.
>> NOT TO CUT YOU OFF BY NO MEANS BUT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL OF THESE AND I'M JUST TRYING TO JUST FAIR WARN THE PROBLEMS THAT MAY CAUSE WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS US GETTING CALLS, IS THAT WE APPROVE SOMETHING CLOSE TO SOME SINGLE DWELLINGS AND THEN IT BECOMES SCHOOL YEAR AND THEN PAST 8:30 AT NIGHT, THE LOUD MUSIC OF CERTAIN EVENTS WILL BRING ATTENTION TO WARN IT.
NOT THAT IT'S A WARNING, BUT IT COULD CAUSE ISSUES IF THEY DON'T, I GUESS SO, [NOISE] HAVE RESPECT FOR THE NEIGHBORS AND THE KIDS AND THE SCHOOL HERE.
THAT'S WHEN I ONLY COME FORWARD AS HAD IT BEEN FOR ANYBODY TRYING TO BETTER THEMSELVES AND BRING A BUSINESS IN THE COUNTY.
BUT JUST A WARNING, AND I GUESS TO HAVE TO GO TO YOU. [BACKGROUND]
>> THANK YOU, MR. CARMICHAEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> NO QUESTIONS. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO SPEND THE NIGHT.
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE THEY CAN STAY OVERNIGHT?
>> NO, MA'AM. THERE'S NO ACCOMMODATIONS INCLUDED.

THEY COULD COME IN THE FUTURE AND ASK FOR THAT BUT NOT AT THIS TIME.

YEAH, OF COURSE, IT SOUNDS LOUDER, IF WE CAN CONTROL THEM.
IF AS OWNER I CAN CONTROL WHOEVER IS USING THE VENUE AND THE [INAUDIBLE]

>> YEAH, MAYBE ONLY 200 YARDS [INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO CAN HAVE PERSON ASSIGNED IT IS GOING TO BE THERE IN ORDER TO HAVE EVERYTHING UNDER UNCONTROL.
>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. FUNGS?

HE IS ON-PREMISE AT THE AIRPORT ON HIS WAY TO HAWAII FOR A FAMILY REUNION.
>> THAT'S WHY HE COULD NOT MAKE IT HERE TONIGHT.
I SUGGESTED FOR HIM TO AT LEAST CALL ME THROUGH ZOOM IN CASE SOMEONE HAD A QUESTION.
>> THAT'S GOOD, HAVE A NICE VACATION. [NOISE]

[ORDER OF BUSINESS (Part 2 of 2)]
APPROVAL OF DONATION OF 35 SURPLUS VEHICLE DOCKING STATIONS TO FORT LEE.>> YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MADAM CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS, MR. STOKE, AND MR. WINTON.
CHIEF EARLY IS READY IF THE BOARD HAS QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM.
BUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS 35 GTAC VEHICLE DOCKING STATIONS.
THOSE ARE THE MOUNTING COMPONENTS WHERE THE POLICE OFFICERS MOUNT THEIR MOBILE DEVICES.
THE 35 DOCKING STATIONS ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH EQUIPMENT THAT WAS RECENTLY UPGRADED SO THEY HAVE BEEN DECLARED SURPLUS.
THE POLICE CHIEF IS ASKING THAT THESE ITEMS BE DONATED TO FORT LEE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THE CODE OF VIRGINIA SECTION 15.2-953C DOES ALLOW THE BOARD TO DONATE SURPLUS ITEMS TO OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES.
THE BOARD HAS A RESOLUTION IN THE PACKET FOR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL.
CHIEF EARLY AND I ARE AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
>> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT CHIEF, IF THIS GETS APPROVED, I THINK IT'D BE NICE IF THEY COULD SHOW UP AND WE ACCEPT THAT IF THE BOARD SO SEES IT THAT WAY.
>> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A RESOLUTION.
>> WE'RE GOING ON TO A-4 WHICH IS A RESOLUTION FOR APPROPRIATION OF TWO RIVERSIDE REGIONAL JAIL RAINY DAY FUND.
>> YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING AGAIN.
AS HAPPENED IN 2019, RIVERSIDE REGIONAL JAIL IS ANTICIPATING A REVENUE SHORTFALL FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR AND THEIR BOARD TOOK ACTION ON MAY 5TH TO APPROVE A DISTRIBUTION FROM THEIR RAINY DAY FUND OR THEIR UNBALANCED RESERVES.
THOSE FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO EACH PARTICIPATING LOCALITY WITH A REQUEST TO WRITE A CHECK TO DISTRIBUTE THEM RIGHT BACK TO RIVERSIDE REGIONAL JAIL.
THEIR FINANCIAL ADVISOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOND COVENANTS HAS RECOMMENDED THIS SO THAT IT CAN BE REFLECTED AS A REVENUE FROM LOCALITIES.
THERE IS A RESOLUTION IN YOUR PACKET.
WE DID RECEIVE THE CHECK LATE LAST WEEK.
HAVE DEPOSITED IT AND HAVE A CHECK REQUEST READY TO SEND TO AP IN MY OFFICE TOMORROW IF THE BOARD APPROVES THAT TONIGHT.
>> I DIDN'T MEAN TO LAUGH. I'M SORRY.
>> IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE A CHOICE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] WAS STUPID, BUT [INAUDIBLE] IS TEACHING ME HOW TO SPEAK MY MIND.
[LAUGHTER] IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, MADAM CHAIRMAN, I ACCEPT THE RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.
>> THANK YOU, MS. DRURY. OUR NEXT ITEM IS A-5, ACCEPTANCE OF DEED OF TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT. MS WALTON.
[01:15:01]
>> GOOD EVENING, AGAIN MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. STOKE, MR. WINTON.
UNDER TAB 13 IN YOUR PACKET THIS EVENING, IS A RESOLUTION FOR A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT ACCEPTANCE.
THE COUNTY AND VDOT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES AS WELL AS OTHER ROAD ISSUES FOR OUR WOOD ROAD.
AS YOU MAY RECALL, THE COUNTY ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH VDOT TO ESTABLISH A NEW OUTFALL DITCH TO ADDRESS SOME STORM WATER CROSSING A PROPERTY OWNER'S LAND.
ATTACH FOR THE BOARD'S REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION IS A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT TO ALLOW VDOT ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY OWNER'S PROPERTY TO CONSTRUCT THIS OUTFALL DITCH.
THE PROPERTY OWNER DID MEET WITH MYSELF YESTERDAY AND AS SHE HAS SIGNED OFF ON THE ACCESS EASEMENT, IF THE BOARD CHOOSES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
ONCE THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED, THIS WILL NEED TO BE A PERMANENT EASEMENT.
WE WILL HAVE THE PROPERTY SURVEYED, AND THE PERMANENT EASEMENT ASSIGNED BASED ON A SURVEY PLAN OF THE PROPERTY.
YOU WILL SEE THIS AT FINAL, BUT IT WILL NOT BE A 25 FOOT.
TYPICALLY, THEY ARE SMALLER EASEMENT.
THE 25 FOOT IS TO ALLOW THE EQUIPMENT TO GET DOWN THE PROPERTY.
BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE.
>> THANK YOU. IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION.
>> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY OTHER BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THIS BOARD?
>> THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD, I WILL ACCEPT A MOTION TO LEAVE [LAUGHTER] AND RETURN AGAIN ON JUNE THE 14TH? DO I HAVE A MOTION?
>> MADAM CHAIR, I SO MOVE FOR ADJOURNMENT.
>> THANK YOU. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.
