Sep 13, 2022 Regular Meeting

[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:02]

IT IS 6:00.

THE BOARD HAS BEEN IN CLOSED SESSION.

I ASKED FOR A RESOLUTION TO COME OUT OF CLOSED SESSION.

MADAM CHAIR, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD CERTIFIED TO THE BEST OF EACH BOARD MEMBERS KNOWLEDGE.

ONE ONLY PUBLIC BUSINESS LAWFULLY EXEMPT FROM OPEN MEETING REQUIREMENTS WAS DISCUSSED AND TWO MATTERS IDENTIFIED IN A CONVENING MOTION WERE DISCUSSED.

THANK YOU. HAVE A SECOND, SECOND CALL.

THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. BROWN IS ABSENT THIS EVENING.

MR. CARMICHAEL.

YES. MR. WEBB. YES.

THIS IS WAYMACK.

YES. MR. HUNTER. YES.

THANK YOU. WE NOW ENTER INTO OUR WORK SESSION.

[WORK SESSION]

THAT NAME SOUNDS FAMILIAR, DON'T IT? MR. HUNTER? YES.

HE RETURNS TO THE COUNTY.

THAT'S NOT MR. BROWN.

HE NEVER LEFT. FOR EACH OF THEM.

THERE'S A LOT OF BUZZ OUT THERE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHTY.

TO CHAIR WAYMACK AND THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND TO THOSE IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TARA ROBINSON.

I FORTUNATELY, I'M NOT JEFF BROWN.

I AM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS HERE AT RICHARD BLAND COLLEGE.

AND I HAVE I THINK I'VE BEEN IN THE ROOM WITH MOST OF YOU ALL AT EVENTS, BUT I DON'T THINK I'VE HAD THE OFFICIAL TIME TO JUST KIND OF INTRODUCE MYSELF.

SO. LONG STORY SHORT, I GREW UP IN ASHLAND WITH MY GRANDMOTHER.

AND THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT MY GRANDMOTHER, SHE WAS BORN IN 1931, AND SHE TOOK ME IN WHEN SHE WAS 65 AND I WAS TWO.

AND THIS THIS WOMAN, SHE HAD NO DEGREE.

SHE ONLY WENT AS HIGH AS THE FIFTH GRADE BECAUSE SHE HAD TO WORK AT HOME ON THE FARM.

BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, SHE WAS ABLE TO RAISE A YOUNG MAN LIKE MYSELF TO GO ON TO THE COLLEGE OF RICHARD BLAND.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, MY FIRST DAY AT RICHARD BLAND COLLEGE, MY GRANDMOTHER PASSED AWAY.

AND THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS I HAD TO GO THROUGH AS A YOUNG MAN.

AND BUT I AM THANKFUL THAT I HAD A LOVING COMMUNITY AT RICHARD BLAND COLLEGE THAT PUSHED ME TO EXCEL TO GREATER HEIGHTS.

AND WHILE ON CAMPUS, I RAN INTO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO DID NOT LOOK LIKE ME, WHO SAW SOMETHING IN ME.

HE ENCOURAGED ME TO APPLY TO THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD ALREADY HAD THREE ACCEPTANCE LETTERS TO THREE OTHER COLLEGES.

I DID SO AND WENT ON AND GRADUATED AND MAJORED IN PUBLIC POLICY.

AND I SPENT THE LAST FIVE YEARS WORKING FOR THE MAYOR OF RICHMOND.

AND SO I SHARE ALL OF THAT BECAUSE I WAS VERY EXCITED AND HAPPY WHEN RICHARD BLAND COLLEGE REACHED OUT TO ME JUST THE END OF LAST YEAR TO ASK IF I COULD JOIN THEIR TEAM AND BE ON THEIR GOVERNMENT RELATIONS TEAM.

AND SO THAT IS HOW I GOT HERE TODAY.

AND SO I'M JOINED HERE WITH MY COLLEAGUE, JEFF BROWN, WHO'S DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL PROJECTS AND OPERATIONS.

AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON BUILDING OUT OUR GOVERNMENT RELATIONS TEAM.

AND SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE DECIDED TO REINTRODUCE OURSELVES TO THE COUNTY AND SHARE ALL THE INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON.

AND SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WILL GO INTO THE POWERPOINT.

GREAT STORY, MAN.

THANK YOU. LET'S SEE.

SO THE COLLEGE WAS FOUNDED IN 1960 AND ESTABLISHED UNDERNEATH THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY AS A BRANCH.

AND SO, AS OF TODAY, RICHARD BLOUNT COLLEGE IS THE ONLY TWO YEAR COLLEGE OR ONLY COLLEGE STILL GOVERNED BY A FOUR YEAR INSTITUTION.

AND SO SINCE 1960, WE THE COLLEGE HAD STARTED OFF AS TRADITIONAL SCHOOL.

AND UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT, DEBBIE SEIDEL, WE HAVE BEEN NATURALLY EVOLVING AND CULTIVATING PARTNERSHIPS TO CHANGE HOW EDUCATION IS DONE AND HOW IT'S DELIVERED.

AND SO WE WE DISTINGUISH OURSELVES BY BEING THE COMMONWEALTH'S ONLY SELECTIVE TWO YEAR RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU ARE FAMILIAR, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE DORMS AND WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO HOUSE AT LEAST 500 PLUS STUDENTS.

[00:05:07]

AND YOU WILL SEE THREE KEY CORE POPULATIONS WE'VE BEEN TARGETING.

WE'VE LOOKED AT THE HIGH SCHOOL POPULATION THROUGH DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

AND THEN WE'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING ON GROWING OUR CORE POPULATION.

THESE ARE THE STUDENTS THAT HAVE JUST GOT OUT WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.

AND I'LL GO MORE INTO ABOUT WHAT OUR PROGRAM IS AND HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR STUDENTS AND ALSO THE UNIVERSITY CENTER PARTNERSHIP.

AND THEN WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON HOW DO WE BUILD OUT AND TAP INTO OUR ADULT OUR ADULT POPULATION, THOSE 24 AND UP THAT MAY HAVE SOME CREDITS BUT HAVE NOT COMPLETED A DEGREE. AND THAT'S THROUGH OUR RBC, VCU JOINT SCHOOL FOR TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES.

AND LASTLY, WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT REGIONAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS AS WELL THROUGH VR AND VDP.

AND SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE AN IDEAL PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GET A QUALITY FIRST AND SECOND YEAR EDUCATION AND GO ON TO RECEIVE A BA.

ALL RIGHT, HERE ARE OUR CORE VALUES.

THIS IS WHAT MAKES RICHARD BLAND SO UNIQUE AND WHY WE STAND OUT, AS I THINK ONE OF THE KEY ONES TO HIGHLIGHT IS OUR FRIENDLY FAMILY ENVIRONMENT.

AS I SPOKE OF IN MY STORY, A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THE CAMPUS AS A SMALL KNIT COMMUNITY WHERE YOU GET TO KNOW YOUR PROFESSORS AND THE STAFF THAT'S THERE AND THEY'RE WILLING TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO HELP YOU.

AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S GOING TO BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE AND PRODUCE A HIGH QUALITY JUST, YOU KNOW, CITIZENS FOR SOCIETY.

HERE'S JUST A GLANCE OF OUR DEMOGRAPHICS.

A THIRD OF OUR INCOMING STUDENTS EVERY YEAR, FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS LIKE MYSELF.

OVER HALF OF OUR STUDENTS ARE OF COLOR, AND SOMETHING THAT MAKES US REALLY STAND OUT IS OUR FULL TIME PROFESSOR RATE.

OVER THREE FOURTHS OF OUR PROFESSORS ARE FULL TIME.

AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER TWO YEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGES ACROSS THE BOARD, NORMALLY YOU WILL NOT SEE A PERCENTAGE AS HIGH AS THAT.

THEY USE A LOT OF ADJUNCT PROFESSORS.

AND FOR ME, EVEN IF YOU LOOK AT OUR FIRST YEAR GPA, I THINK IF YOU WRAP ALL THIS UP, I THINK THE STATS WILL SHOW AND PROVE WHY STUDENTS CHOOSE TO BE AT RICHARD BLAND COLLEGE.

WE HAVE SPORTS AT RICHARD BLAND COLLEGE.

THIS IS AN EXCITING PART OF CAMPUS TO GET STUDENTS ACTIVE AND ENGAGE.

SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE BASEBALL.

WE'RE GROWING OUR BASEBALL PROGRAM THIS FALL.

WE WILL HAVE WE JUST BROUGHT ON WOMEN'S BASKETBALL AND ALSO WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK.

WE HAVE BEEN EMBARKING ON OUR GLOBAL STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAM.

SO THROUGH AN INTERNATIONAL RECRUITING FIRM, NAVITAS, WE HAVE BEEN BRINGING ON INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS TO CAMPUS, WHICH HAS JUST BEEN CHANGING JUST THE FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITY AND ENHANCING THE LIFE OF OUR STUDENTS AND ALSO ALLOWING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS TO INTERACT WITH US.

AND SO THIS FALL WE'VE BROUGHT ON A LITTLE BIT OVER TWO DOZEN INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS FROM OVER, I BELIEVE, TEN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

AND THE PRESIDENT HAS A GOAL OF 400 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS THROUGH THE DOORS OF RICHARD ALLEN COLLEGE BY 2025.

WE HAVE.

SO WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS, WE HAVE OUR ACADEMIC INNOVATION CENTER.

THIS WILL BE BUILT OFF AS AN EXTENSION FROM OUR LIBRARY.

THIS IS A BUILDING THAT WILL BE 200 PLUS SQUARE FEET, THAT WILL HOUSE MORE LEARNING SPACES, MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH AND COLLABORATION AT THE COLLEGE.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE TRENDS IN HIGHER ED.

TIME. SO THE NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE RESEARCH CENTER, THEY PUT OUT SOME DATA ABOUT STUDENT ENROLLMENT DECLINING FOR THE PAST DECADE.

AND SO, OBVIOUSLY, WITH A STRONG ECONOMY, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE GETTING OUT AND BEING ABLE TO FIND GOOD PAYING JOBS.

AND ESPECIALLY WITH MINIMUM WAGE RISING, STUDENTS ARE HOPPING RIGHT IN.

THE DEMOGRAPHICS ARE SHIFTING.

WE'RE NOTICING THAT JUST AS WE LOOK AT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES, WE HAVE A SMALLER POOL OF STUDENTS TO PICK FROM.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE COST IT IS SOMEWHAT PROHIBITIVE FOR SOME.

AND THAT'S A REASON TO NOT GO INTO DEBT AND STILL GET OUT AND GET A JOB THAT WOULD PRODUCE INCOME RIGHT AWAY.

ALL RIGHT. THE RICHMOND TIMES DISPATCH CAME OUT WITH AN ARTICLE THIS YEAR HIGHLIGHTING ENROLLMENT AT VIRGINIA COLLEGES ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH.

AND AS YOU WILL NOTICE, YOU'LL LOOK AT PLACES LIKE RADFORD SINKING BY 23% IN ENROLLMENT.

VCU HAS BEEN DROPPING.

AND EVEN IF YOU LOOK ACROSS TWO YEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGES, THERE'S BEEN A DROP OF 14%.

[00:10:06]

SO THROUGH DUAL ENROLLMENT, THESE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO OBTAIN COLLEGE CREDITS OR WORK TOWARDS ACTUALLY GETTING AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE.

AND SO THERE ARE THREE WAYS THAT STUDENTS CAN OBTAIN DUAL ENROLLMENT CREDITS.

NUMBER ONE, VIRTUALLY, WE'VE BEEN TAPPING INTO OUR HOME SCHOOL MARKET.

AND SO ANYWHERE WHERE A STUDENT MAY HAVE WI FI, THEY CAN TAKE VIRTUAL DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES.

AND WE ALSO HAVE RBC CAMPUS.

SO THESE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CAN ACTUALLY COME ON CAMPUS AND SIT IN CLASSES WITH OUR PROFESSORS AND OTHER STUDENTS TO OBTAIN THOSE CREDITS.

OR THE LAST OPTION IS HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS STUDENTS CAN ACTUALLY STAY ON, STAY ON THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS AND TAKE COURSES BY THEIR TEACHERS THAT ARE CREDENTIALED TO TEACH COLLEGE LEVEL WORK.

SO HERE'S SOMETHING THAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER.

THIS IS A BIG THING THAT DISTINGUISHES US.

THIS IS OUR GUIDED PATHWAYS FOR SUCCESS.

SO EVERY STUDENT THAT COMES TO RICHARD BLAND, THEY GET A LEARNER MENTOR WHEN THEY FIRST COME IN.

THIS IS AN ADVISOR AND A PERSON THAT WILL WATCH OVER AND SHEPHERD THE STUDENT THEIR ENTIRE JOURNEY AT THE COLLEGE.

SO THEY WILL HELP THEM PUT TOGETHER THEIR COURSEWORK AND THEIR CLASSES.

BUT WHAT'S REALLY NEAT ABOUT THIS SYSTEM WITH OUR GPA IS THAT IT'S DATA DRIVEN.

SO THESE LEARNER MENTORS KNOW WHEN STUDENTS ARE GOING TO CLASS, THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE FAILING CLASSES, THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE DOING BAD ON TEST.

AND WHAT THEY WILL DO IS THEY WILL STEP IN AND PROVIDE INTERVENTIONS.

THEY WILL BRING IN THE STUDENT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

IS THEIR PERSONAL PROBLEMS GOING ON.

THAT WAY WE CAN BRING IN OUR CARES TEAM, WHICH WILL BRING WRAPAROUND SERVICES TO FIGURE OUT IS THERE SOMETHING THE COLLEGE CAN DO TO HELP OUR STUDENT BE SUCCESSFUL? AND OBVIOUSLY, AS A RESULT OF THAT, THEY TAKE FEWER CREDITS, LOWER STUDENT DEBT, AND THEN WE ALSO GET THE GRADUATE MORE STUDENTS TO GO ON TO FOUR YEARS.

OK. AN EXCITING PARTNERSHIP IS OUR UNIVERSITY CENTER.

THIS IS AN AMAZING PARTNERSHIP WITH VSU.

VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY AND VIRGINIA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY.

SO AS OF TODAY, RICHARD BLANK COLLEGE THROUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL BE THE ONLY TWO YEAR COLLEGE IN THE COMMONWEALTH PROVIDING AN OPTION FOR STUDENTS TO GET FOUR YEAR DEGREES FROM VCU OR VW.

AND WHAT'S BETTER? TO ME, THE BEST PART ABOUT IT IS THE PRICE.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT A TYPICAL YEAR OF COLLEGE AND FEES AT VIRGINIA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, YOU SEE THAT IT'S $22,500.

WE HAVE WORKED OUT WITH THE AGREEMENT WITH VW THAT WE WILL CHARGE RBC TUITION TO GET A FOUR YEAR DEGREE FROM VW ALONG WITH VSU. SO THE 40 $100 PRICE TAG IS WHAT WE WILL BE CHARGING OUR STUDENTS THAT WANT TO RECEIVE A FOUR YEAR DEGREE FROM VW OR VSU.

WE HAVE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST FEDERATION FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING EDUCATION.

ACROSS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THERE ARE ABOUT THREE DOZEN CHAPTERS.

WE HAVE THE ONLY ONE IN VIRGINIA.

AND THROUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP, STUDENTS GET ENROLLED IN WHAT WE CALL A EARN AND LEARN MODEL.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, WE HAVE 12 COMPANIES THAT WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH.

AND SO STUDENTS WILL GO TO CLASS TWO DAYS OUT OF THE WEEK AND THEN THE OTHER THREE AT THREE DAYS OF THE WEEK, THEY WILL BE WORKING WITH ONE OF THESE COMPANIES, GAINING INVALUABLE WORK EXPERIENCE.

AND SO AS A RESULT OF THIS, STUDENTS GET TO COME OUT WITH LITTLE TO NO DEBT BECAUSE THEY'RE AT A JOB BEING PAID.

AND THEN ALSO THE EMPLOYER KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY CANDIDATE OR AN EMPLOYEE TO COME ON BOARD.

AND SO RIGHT NOW, WE'VE JUST KICKED OFF THIS PROGRAM IN SPRING OF 2021, AND THESE ARE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING, EDUCATION JOBS.

AND SO THE AVERAGE SALARY WE'RE LOOKING AT WHEN THEY GET OUT IS ABOUT 55,000.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL THE INNOVATION PARK AT THE COLLEGE.

AND SO WORKING WITH OUR MASTER PLAN, PARTNERING WITH VR, WE HAVE FOUND 185 ACRES THAT ARE UNDERUTILIZED ON OUR CAMPUS BECAUSE WE WE HAVE ABOUT 750 ACRES OF LAND.

AND SO WITH THIS UNDERUTILIZED LAND, WE ARE WORKING ON PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS FOR OUR INNOVATION PARK.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, RECENTLY WE COULDN'T SAY IT, BUT THE FIRST TENANT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT IS GOING TO BE IN THE UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS, AND SO WE NOW CAN TALK ABOUT IT.

SO A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE HAD AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT WITH THE GOVERNOR.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR PRESIDENT, THE RICHARD LAND TEAM, WE ANNOUNCED A PARTNERSHIP WITH DRONE UP.

[00:15:02]

AND SO THROUGH DRAWN UP, HERE'S A PICTURE OF WHAT A TYPICAL DRONE UP DRONE WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND SO THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DROPPING OFF ALL THE PACKAGES FOR WALMART.

AND THEY'VE PARTNERED WITH THE COLLEGE TO BUILD WHAT THEY CALL THEIR FACILITY.

THEY'VE INVESTED $20 MILLION TO BUILD A TEMPORARY FACILITY AND ALSO THEY'RE PLAYING ON IN THE NEXT 18 MONTHS BUILDING A PERMANENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FACILITY.

AND SO THEY WILL BE TRAINING ALL OF THEIR DRONE PILOTS ON OUR CAMPUS AND SHIPPING THEM OFF THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY TO SUPPLY THE WAL-MARTS.

AND SO HERE IS A PICTURE OF WHAT THE HUB AND THEIR TEMPORARY FACILITY LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL.

AND SO AS OF TODAY, THEY'VE ALREADY BUILT THE FACILITY OUT AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED ON CAMPUS.

THERE'S A LOT OF BUZZ AROUND THIS AS.

ALL RIGHT. SO OUR LAST PARTNERSHIP IS OUR VIRTUAL SCHOOL OF TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES.

THIS IS WITH VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY, AND THIS IS HOW WE TARGET THE ADULT POPULATION MARKET.

SO FOR THOSE 24 AND UP, THEY MAY HAVE SOME CREDITS, THEY MAY HAVE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT COMPLETED A DEGREE.

AND SO THROUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP, THIS ONLINE SCHOOL, WE WILL BE OFFERING MICRO CREDENTIALS, CREDENTIALS AND ALSO A PATHWAY TO GET AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE.

AND SO THE NEAT THING ABOUT THIS PARTNERSHIP IS THAT YOU COULD HAVE A STUDENT, YOU CAN HAVE A FAMILY COME IN, THE STUDENT GETS ENROLLED AT RICHARD RICHARDSON COLLEGE.

AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE A PARENT THAT ALSO GETS ENROLLED IN OUR VIRTUAL SCHOOL OF TECHNICAL PROFESSIONAL STUDIES.

AND SO NOW YOU HAVE A FAMILY THAT IS LEARNING AND GROWING ALL AT ONCE.

AND SO IN CONCLUSION, THE COLLEGE IS EVOLVING INTO A NEW MODEL FOR HIGHER EDUCATION BY DISTINGUISHING ITSELF THROUGH INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS THAT PRODUCE THE BEST EDUCATIONAL RETURNS ON INVESTMENTS FOR ITS STUDENTS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

THAT'S ALL.

NO, GO AHEAD. I SAW YOUR LIST OF FACILITIES OR ORGANIZATIONS YOU'RE INVOLVED WITH ON YOUR LEARN AND EARN, BUT.

ARE YOU Y'ALL NOT INVOLVED WITH SEA CAM AT ALL? YES, WE ARE. SO THIS WAS SO THROUGH SEA CAM.

AND I BELIEVE AS A VIRGINIA GO GRANT, WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER TO ROLL OUT VIRGINIA FAME.

HERE. I'M TRYING TO GET BACK.

I JUST KNEW THAT I DIDN'T SEE SHE CAME UP THERE SPECIFICALLY.

OK. I THINK IT'S GREAT.

YOU'VE GOT SOME GOOD PARTNERS.

IT'S. IT'S WHAT THIS ECONOMY NEEDS, RIGHT? SO WITH YOUR CONTINUED INCREASE IN STUDENTS, WILL YOU EVER TAP OUT AT A CERTAIN NUMBER WHERE YOU CAN'T TAKE NO MORE FOR FAME OR JUST FOR DORMS? YES, WELL, NOT JUST DORMS. YOU SAID 500, BUT FOR STUDENTS.

FOR PER PROFESSOR.

I GUESS I'M NOT I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S AN EXACT TAP OUT.

JEFF, IS THERE ANY THOUGHTS? WE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AS AS LONG AS THERE'S A NEED.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE FINDING WITH THE SAME PROGRAM THAT THERE'S MORE INTEREST THAN WE HAVE SEATS AVAILABLE.

SO WE'VE ALREADY EXPANDED THE PARTNERSHIP FROM NINE PARTNERS TO 12 PARTNERS.

THE DEMAND IS THERE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW.

ABSOLUTELY. SO THERE'S NO NUMBER THAT WE'RE NECESSARILY SAYING WE WON'T GO BEYOND X.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NEED AND IF WE CAN.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE TO GROW THE COLLEGE WITH ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU'RE PRESENTING AND SHOWING THE INCREASE AT YOUR AT YOUR FACILITY VERSUS OTHERS, THEY ARE DECLINING.

WE DON'T WANT TO SEND THE FALSE HOPE TO THESE STUDENTS THAT EVERYBODY'S GOING TO GO THERE AS LONG AS WE HAVE ROOM FOR THEM.

THAT'D BE GREAT FOR Y'ALL.

YEAH. AND A LARGE PART OF THAT INCREASE WAS THROUGH DUAL ENROLLMENT.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT AROUND 1500 STUDENTS.

WE'VE TAPPED INTO THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA MARKET AND ALSO SOME LOCAL SCHOOLS IN THE AREA.

BUT. YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION OF THE COMMENTS.

GOOD JOB. PROUD TO HAVE YOU.

VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD JOB.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. YOU DO ALL RIGHT? YEAH. OH, SO I BELIEVE THE CLERK HAS GIVEN YOU ALL THE RBC FOLDER.

[00:20:02]

SO WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE IF TIME ALLOWS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU.

CHIEF BROWN. OUR NEXT UPDATE IS BY MR. WHITTEN, AND THIS IS A GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPDATE.

MR. WHITTEN. YES, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MR. STOKE, THIS REPORTS A LITTLE LATER THAN WE USUALLY GIVE IT.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TOOK A LITTLE LONGER THIS YEAR, WORKING ON ALL THEIR BILLS.

THEY HAD THE SPECIAL SESSION FIRST AND I'LL GO OVER THE BILLS WHERE THERE ARE OPTIONAL BILLS FOR CONSIDERATION, AND THEN I'LL GO OVER THE MANDATORY BILLS.

AND THEN ALSO I PUT IN A SECTION.

BASICALLY, THE PROGRAM IS PUT TOGETHER FOR THE FUTURE BILLS, FUTURE TOPICS THAT THEY ARE PUSHING FOR THE NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY. AND IF WE HAVE TIME, WE'LL GO OVER THOSE BRIEFLY.

SO THE FIRST BILL DEALS WITH LAND USE AND BASICALLY IT'S AN OPTION OF THE LOCALITY THAT A PARCEL RURAL PROPERTY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE LAND USE PROGRAM IF THEY HAVEN'T PAID THEIR TAXES BY DECEMBER 31ST.

SO THIS IS A BILL THAT I'LL DISCUSS WITH THE NEW ASSESSOR IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO THE BOARD FOR AN ORDINANCE.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS.

IF IF THERE IS A STATE OF EMERGENCY OR IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY THAT CAUSED A HARDSHIP.

BUT THE TEN OF THE PROGRAM, BASICALLY THE LAW IS THAT PROPERTIES WOULD NOT FALL OUT OF LAND USE.

THE NEXT BILL IS DEALS WITH TAXES AND BASICALLY IT GIVES LOCALITIES THE AUTHORITY TO RETURN SURPLUS PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES TO THE TAXPAYERS.

I BELIEVE HENRICO COUNTY MADE THIS DECISION TO DO THAT.

UNDER CURRENT LAW, WE CAN ONLY RETURN SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES.

THE NEXT BILL INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF THE MAXIMUM REFUND THAT THE TREASURER CAN GIVE OR AN ERRONEOUS TAX ASSESSMENT.

CURRENTLY IT'S 5000 AND IT CAN NOW BE 10,000.

I TALKED TO THE TREASURER AND COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS CHANGE.

SO THIS WILL BE ON YOUR NEXT AGENDA FOR ADVERTISEMENT FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE BOARD.

THE NEXT BILL DEALS WITH BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.

IF THERE'S A NEED FOR THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS TO HAVE LEGAL COUNSEL, I CAN'T REPRESENT THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS BECAUSE OF THE CONFLICT I WOULD HAVE BECAUSE IF THERE'S AN APPEAL, I WOULD BE REPRESENTING THE GOVERNING BODY.

WHO'S THE NECESSARY PARTY, WHICH IS THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS? AT THIS POINT, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY NEED FOR SEPARATE LEGAL COUNSEL, BUT IT MAY BE THAT THEY MAY NEED SOME TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.

SO THIS IS AN OPTIONAL BILL THAT ALLOWS THE BOARDING ZONING APPEALS TO COME TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND ASK FOR ANY NECESSARY ASSISTANCE.

NEXT BILL DEALS WITH THE EXEMPTION FOR THE ELDERLY AND HANDICAP.

BASICALLY, IT CHANGES TO A ROLLING DEADLINE.

I TALKED TO THE COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE.

SHE WOULD PREFER KEEPING THE EXISTING AUGUST 1ST DEADLINE RATHER THAN HAVING A ROLLING DEADLINE FOR THE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION.

SHE THOUGHT THAT PROCESS WORKED BETTER FOR HER OFFICE.

NEXT SESSION SECTION IS THE MANDATORY BILLS.

SO FIRST ONE IS HOUSE BILL 150 AND THIS STATES THAT ALL MINUTES MUST BE POSTED ON THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS. SO THIS WOULD BE MINUTES OF ANY PUBLIC BODY, WHETHER IT BE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY WOULD HAVE TO BE ON THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS, SEVEN WORKING DAYS.

I SHOULD CLARIFY AFTER APPROVED AT OUR MEETING.

CORRECT? CORRECT. AFTER THE BOARD PUBLIC BODY APPROVES HAVE TO BE ON THE WEBSITE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS.

THIS IS A HELPFUL BILL.

BASICALLY, IT SAYS IF THE NEWSPAPER FAILS TO PUBLISH AN ADVERTISEMENT THAT WE'VE SENT TO THEM TIMELY, BUT THEY PUBLISH IT IN THEIR NEXT ISSUE THAT IT'S STILL DEEMED PROPER NOTICE.

SO THIS WOULD BE HELPFUL IF IT'S A TIME SENSITIVE ISSUE, AND WE REALLY NEED THAT TO HAVE THAT NOTICE IN THE NEWSPAPER.

[00:25:09]

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BILLS? NEXT ONE DEALS WITH FARM USE TAGS.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF OVERUSE OF THE FARM USE TAX.

I'VE SEEN LIKE BMW AND MERCEDES AND FARM USE TAX.

SO I THINK DMV IS REALLY TRYING TO CRACK DOWN ON THAT.

AND BASICALLY NOW YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO TO DMV TO GET THE FARM USE TAG.

YOU CAN'T JUST GO TO THE FARMERS CO-OP AND GET THE LITTLE PLASTIC PLATE AND YOU HAVE TO PAY A $15 FEE.

AND SO I THINK THIS WILL BE A GOOD BILL TO MAKE SURE THAT ACTUAL FARM USE VEHICLES ARE BEING UTILIZED.

THIS DOESN'T GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL JULY OF NEXT YEAR.

OR ANY QUALIFICATIONS FOR PEOPLE TO GET THESE FARM USE TAGS OR CAN JUST ANYBODY GO UP THERE AND SAID, WELL, THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE VEHICLE AND ITS USAGE.

SO THEY PROBABLY WOULD QUESTION LIKE IF YOU LISTED A SEDAN, HOW ARE YOU UTILIZING THAT OR USING THAT SEDAN TO GO GET FEED? AND IF YOU'RE A COWS OR I THINK THERE MAY BE, THERE'S PROBABLY ONLY A FORM THAT THEY'RE ALL CREATE WHERE YOU HAVE TO SAY, MAKE A MODEL AND HOW YOU'RE GOING TO UTILIZE IT, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S NOT A TRUCK OR SUV.

THEY MAY HAVE QUESTIONS IF IT'S.

LEGITIMATE. I KNOW MY DAD'S TRUCK.

HE USES IT AS RV.

ALSO, HE DOESN'T HAVE FARM USE TAGS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HE MOSTLY USES FOR THE FARM, HE ALSO DRIVES TO THE GEORGIA POLE, THE RV.

SO IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE FARM USE TAGS.

SO THEY'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT THE TOTAL USAGE.

SO HOW WILL WE NOTIFY OUR FARMERS AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE THAT IN OUR COUNTY THAT JUST BY LUCK, WE GOT TO HOPE THAT THEY SEE THIS? NO, I MEAN, WE COULD PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE AND LET THEM KNOW IT GOES INTO EFFECT JULY 1ST.

SO WE JUST NEXT YEAR, IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO PUT OUT.

MAYBE OUR NEW PIO POSITION COULD PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE AS WE GET CLOSER IN THE SPRING, LET PEOPLE KNOW THEY NEED TO GO TO DMV.

I KNOW NOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT OF DMV ONCE IT GOES IN EFFECT, AND OUR OFFICERS CAN START LOOKING FOR THAT RIGHT.

IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE PROPER TAG FROM DMV.

THEY'RE STILL USING THE OLD TAGS AND THEY THEORETICALLY COULD BE PULLED OVER.

I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A SECONDARY OR PRIMARY OFFENSE TO LOOK AT THAT, BUT.

THIS BILL DEALS WITH BASICALLY THE CONCERN ON SOLAR PANELS, ON PRIME AGRICULTURAL SOIL.

SO BASICALLY IT DOESN'T GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL 2024.

WILL THAT FOR FACILITIES AFTER 2024? BUT BASICALLY IT SAYS IF THERE IS AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON TEN ACRES OF PRIME AGRICULTURAL SOILS OR 50 ACRES OF FOREST LANDS, THEN THEY HAVE TO HAVE A SUBMIT A MITIGATION PLAN.

SO THIS WAS A BILL FROM DELEGATE WEBER UP IN FAUQUIER COUNTY WHO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT SOLAR PANELS BEING PUT ON PRIME AGRICULTURAL SOIL.

THIS BILL. HOUSE BILL 216 BASICALLY STATES THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVE TICKETS TO AN EVENT OR REGISTRATION, FOR INSTANCE. IF YOU GO TO THE VECO CONFERENCE IN RICHMOND, YOU BASICALLY DON'T HAVE TO REPORT THAT AS A GIFT.

SO IT'S JUST MAKING IT CLEAR UNDER THE CONFLICT CONFLICT OF INTEREST ACT, THAT'S NOT A GIFT SINCE IT'S RELATED TO YOUR OFFICIAL DUTIES.

MILITARY LEAVE BASICALLY INCREASES FROM 15 TO 21 DAYS.

THE NUMBER OF DAYS A MEMBER OF THE ARMED SERVICES NATIONAL GUARD IS ENTITLED TO PAID LEAVE WHILE THEY'RE AWAY FROM MILITARY DUTIES.

HOUSE BILL 272 THIS IS KIND OF A CONTINUOUS BILL, BASICALLY SAYS FOR LOCAL LAND USE APPROVAL.

THE SUNSET DATE IS EXTENDED FROM JULY 1ST, 2022 TO JULY 1ST, 2023.

THEY'VE DONE THIS THE PAST FEW YEARS BECAUSE OF COVID, BASICALLY SAYING IF YOU HAVE AN EXISTING APPROVAL, IT'S EXTENDED.

APPROVAL IS EXTENDED.

HOUSE BILL 307.

BASICALLY IT KIND OF THE CONCERN WAS THAT PEOPLE MADE A FOIA REQUEST AND THEN ONCE THE RESPONSE WAS SENT, THERE WAS A $100 FEE.

SO NOW IT'S BASICALLY SAYING IN ADVANCE OF PUTTING TOGETHER THE RESPONSE, YOU NEED TO LET THE REQUESTER KNOW WITH THE FEES AND I'LL BE WITH ESTIMATED FEES GOING TO BE, WHICH WE ALREADY DO WHEN WE GET REQUESTS.

WE BASED IT ON THE HOURLY RATE OF THE LOWEST PAID PERSON WHO CAN COMPLETE THE REQUEST AND THEN ALSO ANY COPY CHARGES.

SO WE LET THE REQUESTS ARE KNOW IN ADVANCE IT'S GOING TO BE $30.

DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED?

[00:30:02]

THIS WAS A GOOD BILL, HOUSE BILL FOR 29.

THIS HELPED US OF OUR ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONTRACTS, INCREASING THE LIMITS FOR SINGLE PROJECTS TO 2.5 MILLION AND TOTAL SOME OF OUR PROJECTS TO 10 MILLION. SO THIS REALLY HELPS, ESPECIALLY OUR UTILITIES DEPARTMENT WITH THE PROJECTS THEY'RE WORKING ON.

HOUSE FOR HOUSE BILL 444 GOES INTO EFFECT SEPTEMBER 1ST AND WENT INTO EFFECT SEPTEMBER 1ST.

AND BASICALLY FOR PUBLIC BODIES OTHER THAN THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PLANNING COMMISSION OR SCHOOL BOARD, THEY CAN MEET ELECTRONICALLY.

SO THIS COULD BE LIKE THE FIRE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, A LOT OF YOUR COMMITTEES OR OTHER PUBLIC BODIES THAT AREN'T LISTED THERE BUT YOUR IDA PLANNING COMMISSION AND THIS BOARD WOULD STILL HAVE TO MEET UNDER THE CURRENT PROVISIONS WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE IN-PERSON MEETINGS.

HOUSE BILL 518 DEALS WITH TRANSIENT TAX, ESPECIALLY AIRBNB AND OTHER HOTEL RENTALS WHERE THERE'S AN INTERMEDIARY COLLECTING THE FEE AND BASICALLY DETAILS THE PRICE, CHANGES THE PROCESS, HOW THE FEES, TRANSIENT TAXES ARE TURNED OVER TO THE STATE OR THE LOCALITY.

THEY KEEP ADJUSTING THAT PROCESS BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF COMPLICATED HOW IT WORKS WHEN YOU HAVE INTERMEDIARIES.

POSTING OF NOTICES.

THIS KIND OF INTERESTING BILL DOESN'T GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL 2024, BUT SAYS ANY NOTICE THAT MUST BE POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR OF THE COURTHOUSE ALSO HAS TO BE POSTED ON THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE, WHICH CURRENTLY CURRENTLY WE DON'T DO THIS.

SO IF THERE'S ANY NOTICE OF A TAX SALE OR ANY OF OUR MR. HUNTER WOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT NOTICES ARE POSTED THERE.

THEY WOULD ACTUALLY NEED TO BE ON THE WEB PAGE BY JULY 1ST, 2024.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING AS WE GET CLOSER, I'LL WORK WITH THE SHERIFF AND THE CLERK AT COURT TO MAKE SURE IT'S BEST ON OUR WEBSITE THAT'S ON THE COUNTY WEBSITE.

DATA SHARE FOR.

RIGHT. OKAY.

SO BASICALLY IT'S A WEBSITE OF THE LOCALITY, SO IT WOULD BE JUST OUR MAIN WEBSITE.

HOUSE BILL 710 BASICALLY STATES, ALL LOCALITIES HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION A PERSON'S STATUS IF THEY HAVE A DISABILITY AND BASICALLY GIVE THEM EQUAL ABILITY TO APPLY FOR THAT JOB AND TO OFFER THAT JOB TO THEM.

SO WE'RE STILL KIND OF WORKING ON HOW THIS CHANGES, IF THERE'S ANY POLICIES WE NEED TO UPDATE OR IT WOULD JUST BE MORE THE INTERVIEW PROCESS, HOW THIS WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE EFFECT.

SO HOW? 734 IS PRETTY COMPLEX, BILL.

I'VE READ THIS BILL LIKE 30 TIMES ALREADY BECAUSE IT'S JUST IT'S A VERY COMPLEX BILL.

BASICALLY, IT STATES.

IT USED TO BE WHEN WE HAD WE GOT A FOIA REQUEST FOR A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE FILE.

AS LONG AS IT WASN'T AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION, YOU HAD TO TURN IT OVER.

NOW, IF IT'S NO LONGER ACTIVE INVESTIGATION, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN IT OVER.

IT'S OPTIONAL.

BUT IF YOU DO DECIDE TO TURN IT OVER, YOU HAVE TO NOTIFY THE VICTIM OR THEIR FAMILY WHO HAS 14 DAYS TO FILE AN INJUNCTION TO STOP THE RELEASE OF THE RECORDS.

SO BASICALLY, THERE'S REALLY NO REASON WHY YOU WOULD TURN IT OVER.

YOU WOULD JUST SAY, NO, IT'S EXEMPT.

AND WE WERE DECIDING NOT TO TURN IT OVER.

SO REALLY, THE MAIN CHANGE WAS NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN OVER CLOSED FILES.

THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN THAT CLOSED FILES ARE BEING TURNED OVER TO JUST NOSY PEOPLE WHO REALLY DIDN'T NEED TO HAVE A NEED FOR THAT INFORMATION.

SUBMITTING BIDS ELECTRONICALLY.

IT'S GOING TO BE MANDATORY FOR STATE PUBLIC BODIES, BUT IT'S ENCOURAGED FOR LOCAL PUBLIC BODIES TO ALLOW ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS.

IT'S NOT EFFECTIVE UNTIL JULY 1ST OF 2023.

RIGHT NOW, WE REQUIRE ALL PEOPLE, ALL INTERESTED COMPANIES, TO SUBMIT THEIR BID AND PAPER.

SO BASICALLY LIKE MAIL IT IN, THEY CAN DROP IT OFF, BUT THEY CAN'T SUBMIT ELECTRONICALLY.

SO THEY'RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS THROUGH EVA, WHICH WE ALREADY USE EVA.

SO IT PROBABLY WOULD ACTUALLY BE A PRETTY SEAMLESS PROCESS, BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO DECIDE IF WE WANT TO DO THAT.

IT'S NOT MANDATORY, BUT I PUT IT IN THIS SECTION JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE ENCOURAGING IT THAT WE OFFER THIS OPTION.

[00:35:02]

BASICALLY, IF THERE IS A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER, THEY HAVE TO NOTIFY THE PERSON IN CHARGE.

WE DO HAVE TO ALLOW THEM INTO THE SHELTER.

AND ALSO THE STATE POLICE HAS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO ALL SEX OFFENDERS, LETTING THEM KNOW OF THIS NEW PROCESS.

I KNOW THIS IS A QUESTION THAT BERTHA HAD RELATED TO EMERGENCY SHELTERS, HOW IT WORKS.

SO THEY MADE IT CLEAR NOW IN THE STATE CODE HOW IT WORKS, THE PROCESS.

THERE'S A THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM BASICALLY STATES FOR ANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OR SECONDARY SCHOOL WHERE THERE'S AN SRO, THAT THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM NEEDS TO INCLUDE ONE SRO. AND I BELIEVE NOW AFTER TONIGHT'S, I BELIEVE WE'LL HAVE SROS IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS.

SO BASICALLY AS A STATING, THEY NEED TO BE PART OF THE THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM.

THIS BILL IS KIND OF A CHANGE WHERE IF WE'RE INCREASING THE TAXES, WE HAVE TO PUT THE ADVERTISEMENT ON A SEPARATE DAY, THEN THE NOTICE FOR THE ACTUAL ANNUAL BUDGET HEARING.

SO I GUESS THEY'RE TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THE PRACTICE OF PUTTING IT ON THE SAME PAGE.

THEY WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC THAT ACTUALLY WE'RE CONSIDERING RAISING THE TAXES.

SO. IF THERE'S A FUTURE YEAR WHERE WE ARE DOING A ADVERTISE A HIGHER RATE, THEN WE'D HAVE TO PUT IT ON A SEPARATE.

DIRE. THIS WAS A GOOD BILL.

THIS ALLOWED THIS ALLOWS THE COUNTY TO TAX SOLAR FARMS LESS THAN FIVE MEGAWATTS.

SO THIS IS ALL SOLAR FARMS AFTER JULY 1ST OF 2022.

WE JUST HAD TWO THAT WERE ONE THAT WAS APPROVED RECENTLY WHERE THIS TOOK EFFECT, WHERE THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THAT SOLAR FARM.

THAT WAS THE ONE WHERE AS A COMMUNITY SOLAR GARDEN.

PURCHASE OF SERVICE WEAPONS.

THIS ALLOWS OFFICERS THAT ARE ALSO IN A PART TIME CAPACITY AT THE TIME OF THEIR RETIREMENT TO PURCHASE THEIR HANDGUN.

PREVIOUSLY, IT SAID THAT THEY HAD TO BE IN A FULL TIME CAPACITY.

SO IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE, MOVE FROM FULL TIME TO PART TIME IS HELPFUL, BILL.

THIS BILL CHANGES THE DEFINITION OF SUBDIVISION TO STATE THAT BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT SUBDIVISIONS AS LONG AS IT'S A BONA FIDE PROPERTY DISPUTE PROPERTY LINE DISPUTE AS NO MORE THAN 250 FEET FROM THE CENTER OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THIS WILL PROBABLY INVOLVE A CHANGE TO OUR SUBDIVISION DEFINITION, JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT CONSIDERED A SUBDIVISION, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS IN THERE THAT WILL PARSE OUT.

THIS BILL, HOUSE BILL 1173 MAKES IT CLEAR THAT COUNTIES CAN CONTINUE TO GIVE COMP TIME.

WE WENT THROUGH THAT TWO OR THREE MONTH PERIOD WHERE WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO DO COMP TIME.

SO THIS MAKES IT CLEAR THAT COUNTIES ARE STILL ALLOWED TO.

TO COMP TIME INSTEAD INSTEAD OF TIME.

MARCUS ALERT SYSTEM.

WE'RE JUST OVER THE 40,000 PERSON REQUIREMENTS.

WE WILL, BUT WE DO HAVE AN EXTENSION TO START THIS PROGRAM TO JULY 1ST OF 2023 AND BASICALLY JUST STATES THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE THE MARCUS ALERT SYSTEM FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.

WE HAVE TO WORK WITH OUR 911 SYSTEM AND HAVE THAT ALERT SYSTEM IN PLACE BY JULY 1ST OF 2023.

THIS BILL STATES IF BASICALLY WERE HACKED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE HACK, WE HAVE TO NOTIFY THIS ORGANIZATION.

IT'S THE VIRGINIA FUSION INTELLIGENCE CENTER, WHICH I'D NEVER HEARD OF THAT AGENCY BEFORE.

THAT'S WHO WE NEED. THAT'S WHO CLIFF WOULD NOTIFY IF WE DO HAVE A BREACH.

SO IT'S PRETTY SHORT WINDOW, BUT THAT'S KIND OF AN INTERESTING LAW.

THAT'S JUST A STATE FUSION CENTER.

THAT'S ALL. OKAY.

YEAH. I WASN'T SURE IF THAT WAS A NEW ORGANIZATION THAT THEY JUST PART OF THIS IS PART OF.

152 MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT WEBSITE IS THE WEBSITE CONTROLLED BY THE PUBLIC BODY, SO THAT WOULD JUST BE OUR PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY VA.

OUR NORMAL WEBSITE JUST MAKES IT CLEAR ALL OF OUR PUBLIC BODIES USE THE SAME WEBSITE.

SO JUST FOR FOIA PURPOSES, WE HAVE TO HAVE AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE.

THIS IS AN INTERESTING BILL. BASICALLY, THE COUNTY BOARD PRIOR TO JULY 1ST HAS TO SET A MAXIMUM ANNUAL COMPENSATION, WHICH WOULD BECOME EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST

[00:40:06]

SO BASICALLY, PRIOR TO JULY 1ST OF NEXT YEAR, YOU WOULD HAVE TO STATE WHAT YOUR MAXIMUM COMPENSATION WOULD BE AND THAT WOULD GO INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1ST AFTER THE NOVEMBER ELECTION NEXT YEAR.

SENATE BILL 268.

THIS WAS THE ISSUE WE WERE DEALING WITH THAT INDIVIDUALS UNDER TOSS AND HAVE A POLICE OFFICER SITTING THERE AT THE HOSPITALS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT.

SO THIS ALLOWS FOR ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION AND THIS ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER BASICALLY IS UNDER CONTRACT TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE.

THEY HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.

SO WE'RE HOPING THIS WILL BE A HELPFUL BILL TO BASICALLY PUT POLICE BACK ON THE STREETS AND WAY OVERDUE.

HAVE THESE ALTERNATIVE PROVIDERS.

BICYCLES RIDING TWO ABREAST.

FOR A WHILE, BIKES WERE ALLOWED TO RIDE TWO ABREAST, WHICH REALLY WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION.

SO NOW WHEN A CAR IS COMING, YOU'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO SINGLE FILE.

WHEN I WAS, I COACH A YOUTH MOUNTAIN BIKING TEAM AND WE WERE BIKING AT POCONO SUNDAY AND THE KIDS WERE TOO ABREAST.

HEY, STATE LAW CHANGED JULY 1ST.

THERE'S A CAR BEHIND US. GET OVER.

BECAUSE IT REALLY IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE TWO BIKERS.

THIS DOESN'T LEAVE A LOT OF ROOM FOR CARS TO PASS.

SO AS SOON AS YOU HEAR THAT CAR, YOU HAVE TO GET BACK OVER.

OKAY. THIS IS ALSO THIS IS ANOTHER GOOD BILL FOR THE ISSUE THAT SAYS AUXILIARY AUXILIARY POLICE OFFICERS CAN ALSO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION.

AND THE DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS IS GOING TO PUT TOGETHER THE MINIMUM TRAINING STANDARDS FOR THESE AUXILIARY POLICE OFFICERS WHO ARE NOT TO TRANSPORT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO AN EMERGENCY CUSTODY ORDER OR TO.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER GOOD SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE.

WE'RE HAVING. THIS IS A BILL THAT CHANGES FROM DISCRETIONARY TO MANDATORY THAT THE CHIEF OF POLICE HAS TO DISCLOSE TO THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL INSTANCE WHERE A JUVENILE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH A VIOLENT FELONY ARSON OFFENSE OR CONCEALED WEAPON OFFENSE.

THIS IS FOR RESIDENTIAL SOLAR.

BASICALLY EXEMPTS THE PANELS ON RESIDENTIAL ROOFS FROM TAXATION.

SO THIS WILL PROBABLY LEAD TO MORE INDIVIDUALS PUTTING SOLAR ON THEIR ROOFS.

IT DOES HAVE A DELAYED, EFFECTIVE DATE OF JANUARY 1ST.

AND THIS IS NOT ONLY FOR RESIDENTIAL ACTION, IT'S ALSO FOR AGRICULTURAL AND PROPERTY.

SO IF YOU ALSO HAVE A BARN WHERE YOU SAY HAY BARN, HORSE BARN UTILIZING THAT SOLAR FOR THE USE OF THE FACILITY THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE TAXED.

THIS IS THE BILL TO KIND OF GET RID OF THE ISSUE.

IF THE CAROLINA, I THINK, IS WHAT THEY CALL IT.

WE HAVE THE FRONT BUMPERS A FOOT HIGHER THAN THE REAR BUMPER SO THEY CAN'T SEE OVER THE HOOD OF THE CAR.

SO NOW IT'S ONLY FOUR INCHES DIFFERENCE OR YOU CAN GET A TECH UP.

AND THIS WAS ACTUALLY AN EMERGENCY ENACTMENT AS WELL.

SO THAT'S THE LAST BILL, THE MANDATORY BILLS.

ARE WE ON TIME? AND I'LL GO OVER THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES REAL QUICKLY FOR THE 2023 GENERAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH STARTS IN JUST A FEW MONTHS.

SO FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT VAIKO IS OPPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE TO FOIA THAT WOULD IMPOSE ADDITIONAL BURDENS ON LOCALITIES.

THEY ALSO WANTS TO KEEP SUPPORTING THE OPTION FOR BODIES TO MEET ELECTRONICALLY.

AND ALSO PROTECTING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF CITIZEN COMPLAINTS.

RIGHT NOW, THERE'S REALLY ONLY CONFIDENTIALITY FOR ZONING COMPLAINTS AND THEN COMPLAINTS TO THE POLICE OR SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

THEY WANT TO ALLOW A LITTLE MORE BREADTH THERE.

GRAVE INSURANCE IS SUPPORTING, PROVIDING IMMUNITY TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS AND VOLUNTEERS AND PANEL MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE GRIEVANCE PROCESS THAT THEY WOULD BE SUBJECT TO A LAWSUIT AFTER THE GRIEVANCE HEARING.

INTEROPERABILITY, BASICALLY SUPPORTING THE GOAL OF AGENCIES AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF LOCAL, REGIONAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS COMMUNICATING AND WORKING TOGETHER ON EFFECTIVE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS IN MAJOR EMERGENCIES AND SUPPORTING THE TRANSITION TO NEXT GENERATION 911.

[00:45:03]

AND I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING ADDITIONAL MONEY TO PRETRIAL SERVICES, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

UM, PUBLIC NOTICE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THE NEWSPAPER HARDCOPY ADVERTISEMENT, WHICH IS SO EXPENSIVE, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE MEDIA IS PUSHING BACK ON THAT.

SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT IF THIS POSSIBLE POSSIBILITY OF GOING MORE TO AN ELECTRONIC FORMAT OR OTHER ALTERNATIVES AS MORE PAPER, THERE'S LESS PAPERS NOW, SO IT IS GETTING MORE COST PROHIBITIVE FOR AN ADVERTISEMENT NOW IS ABOUT $500.

AND SO IT IS GETTING PRETTY EXPENSIVE FOR ADS.

SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY BASICALLY ADVOCATES OPPOSING ANY CHANGES IN THE SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY THE COUNTY ENJOYS AND THE QUALIFIED IMMUNITY EMPLOYEES ENJOY. SO THEY ARE OPPOSING BRINGING THE COUNTY UNDER THE VIRGINIA TORT CLAIMS ACT, WHICH IS WHAT APPLIES TO THE STATE OF THE STATE, GETS SUED.

IT'S THEY CAN ONLY BE SUED UP TO $100,000 AND THEY BECAUSE AS OPPOSING THAT APPLYING THAT TO THE COUNTIES AS WELL.

VEGA SUPPORTING MAINTAINING THE FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDING AND MITIGATING THE IMPACT ON COUNTIES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO FEDERAL FACILITIES AND STATE FACILITIES AND CONTINUING THE PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN STATE AND LOCAL.

THEY ARE SUPPORTING THE ONSITE SEWAGE PROGRAM, BASICALLY, WHICH IS PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND FOCUSING ON THE FAILING SEPTIC SYSTEMS AND ALSO POLICIES THAT HELP PROVIDE ON SITE SEWAGE SYSTEM DESIGN INSTALLATION.

UM, SO WHICH IS A GOOD BILL, ESPECIALLY AS YOU WORK TOWARD HAVING SOIL SET OUT HERE.

WE HAVE CERTAIN SOILS THAT ARE CERTAIN SEWAGE SYSTEMS DON'T WORK WELL.

SO MAKING SURE THAT'S A BETTER PROCESS, YOU HAVE BETTER SEWER SYSTEMS. SETTING UP TRANSMISSION LINES.

BASICALLY, VEGA SUPPORTS REQUIRING UTILITIES TO SEEK INPUT FROM THE LOCALITIES AND PROPERTY OWNERS BEFORE ANY CONSTRUCTION OR MODIFICATION OF TRANSMISSION FACILITIES.

AND A RELATED MATTER AS VEGA SUPPORTING THE LEGISLATION REQUIRING ELECTRIC GRID OPERATORS TO SHARE THE CURRENT IMPLANT INFRASTRUCTURE TO SHOW WHERE LARGE SCALE RENEWABLE ENERGY FACILITIES MAY BE NEEDED OR MAY BE DESIRED.

SO THERE'S LITTLE BETTER PLANNING AND COORDINATION.

THE DEVOLUTION OF SECONDARY ROADS.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS SOMETHING WE DON'T WANT.

WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE ROADS.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN AND OPERATE THE ROADS.

AND THIS IS THE BIG CONCERN IS THE ORPHAN OUTFALLS.

THERE WAS A REPORT THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER THAT HELP ADDRESS WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF OUTFALLS WHERE THERE'S NO ASSIGNED ENTITY TO MAINTAIN IT.

AND WE HAVE RUN INTO THAT ISSUE QUITE A BIT WHERE VDOT DOESN'T WANT TO MAINTAIN IT AND THE PROPERTY OWNER DOESN'T WANT TO MAKE DEALING WITH THAT ISSUE.

SO THAT'S ALL THE THOSE I HAVE.

WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE BILLS OR ANY OF THE INITIATIVES? BECAUSE WORKING ON AS WE WILL PROBABLY DISCUSS THEM WHEN YOU GO DOWN TO THE CONFERENCE IN RICHMOND IN NOVEMBER.

JUST ONE QUICK.

CERTAINLY. GO AHEAD. MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD, BUT THE SOLAR FARMS BEING ABLE TO BE TAXED.

DID I HEAR THAT CORRECTLY? UNDER FIVE MEGAWATTS NOW CAN BE TAXED AS WELL.

THEY WERE EXEMPT. NOW THEY CAN BE TAXED AFTER JULY 1ST, THE 22.

CORRECT. SO THE ONE THAT WE APPROVED AFTER THAT CAN BE SUBJECT TO TAX? CORRECT. THE ONE THAT WAS THE COMMUNITY SOLAR GARDEN THAT KILLED HIS DEAL WITH THE PROVIDER THAT HE'S DEALING WITH.

IF HE FINDS OUT HE HAS TO PAY TAXES NOW, IT MIGHT.

YEAH, HE WAS AWARE OF THAT.

I MADE THEM AWARE OF THAT.

PRIOR TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WASN'T AWARE THAT HAD CHANGED.

SO THEY MADE THEM AWARE OF THAT.

THEY WERE ACTUALLY DON'T GIVE A PROFFER IN THE SAME AMOUNT, BUT INSTEAD JUST PAY THE TAX RATE THAT WE APPROVED.

[00:50:03]

AND THEN, YEAH, THEY WERE GRANDFATHERED AND THEY WEREN'T.

THAT'S FINE. YOU MADE THEM AWARE OF PRIOR.

YES. THAT YEAH.

THAT PARTICULAR ONE WAS WHERE.

THAT'S ALL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, MA'AM. I'M GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. WHITTEN.

SURE. THAT CONCLUDES OUR WORK SESSION.

AND I SEE WE HAVE A FEW MOMENTS.

AND WE WILL BE IN RECESS UNTIL 7:00.

IT IS NOW 7:00.

THE BOARD HAS BEEN IN WORK SESSION AND IN RECESS.

NOW WE COME TO OUR 7:00 MEETING.

GOOD EVENING. I'M WAITING ON THE POWERPOINT, BUT.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

WAYMACK FELLOW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MR. STOKE AND MR. WHITTEN. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH YOU THE BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR.

IT WAS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

[01:10:02]

SO HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? SIT DOWN HERE.

WE'VE BEEN FINE.

I'LL TAKE IT. IT'S ON THEIR MONITORS SO THE AUDIENCE COULD JUST SEE.

THE AUDIENCE WOULD BE UPSET.

I CAN'T SAY, BUT I CAN FEEL MY WAY THROUGH IT.

OK. JUST.

YOU COME OVER HERE AND IT WORKS.

I'M TO BE MAD.

HERE YOU GO. HERE WE GO.

WE GOT IT.

OKAY, YOU CAN SEE IT. OKAY, GREAT.

SO IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH LONG LINES, LOTS OF CITIZENS.

AND HERE IT COMES.

HERE YOU GO. AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

THANK YOU. WHO ATTENDED THE EVENT AT SCOTT PARK.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LINES ARE WRAPPED AROUND THE PARK, PAST THE LIBRARY AND BACK TO THE STREET WHERE CITIZENS WOULD NORMALLY ENTER SCOTT PARK. SO WE HAD A HUGE CROWD.

WE GAVE AWAY A TOTAL OF 886 BACKPACKS.

AND OF THAT 816 OF THAT, 816 OF THE BACKPACKS WENT DIRECTLY INTO THE HANDS OF CHILDREN, WITH 70 GOING TO THE SCHOOLS TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE VARIOUS SCHOOLS.

EACH OF THE BACKPACKS HAD THE MAJORITY OF THE CORE SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR EITHER ELEMENTARY OR SECONDARY SCHOOLS, AS SUBMITTED TO US BY THE SCHOOLS. SO DONATIONS CAME POURING IN AND WE'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

WE RECEIVED MONETARY DONATIONS AND SUPPLIES FROM CHURCHES, PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS, INDIVIDUALS, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, JOHN RANDOLPH FOUNDATION AND US FOUNDATION.

THE CHEERLEADERS YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT AND THE FOOTBALL PLAYER SORTED AND PACKED BACKPACKS.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH THE SCHOOL AND FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE.

SO THIS IS JUST A BIG THANK YOU.

THIS EVENT COULD NOT BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF COUNTY STAFF AND MANY COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

WE ARE GRATEFUL TO BUILDINGS AND GROUND STAFF FOR THEIR WORK IN PICKING UP BACKPACKS AND DONATIONS OF SUPPLIES AND TAKING THEM TO THE SCHOOL AND MOVING THEM BACK TO THE PAVILION FOR THE DAY OF THE EVENT.

THE TEAM, ALONG WITH VAL, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED AND WE REALLY COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT THEIR CONTINUED HELP AND SUPPORT.

THE VOLUNTEERS WERE PLENTIFUL.

ON THAT DAY OF THE EVENT.

THERE WERE THE WOMEN'S CLUB, THE ROTARY, THE RURAL TEN CERT MEMBERS.

WE EVEN HAD FORT LEE SOLDIERS, THE LIBRARY AND FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

BETH LIPP DID A PHENOMENAL JOB SKETCHING OUTWARD VENDORS NEEDED TO BE AND ORGANIZING THE LOGISTICS OF THE EVENT.

CHURCHES WHO SET UP AND ENTERTAIN WITH MUSIC, GAMES AND GIVEAWAYS WAS UNITY BAPTIST, OAKLAND BAPTIST AND DESTINATION CHURCH.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FAITH BASED PARTNER.

OKAY. I'M JUST TRYING TO ADVANCE OK.

SO MANY GAVE SO MUCH TO ASSIST US THROUGH MONETARY DONATIONS AND SUPPLIES.

AND THERE'S A LIST THERE.

OUR HALLWAYS WERE ACTUALLY FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH DONATIONS.

OKAY. SO CULTURE CUTS FEATURE ON THE LEFT CAME OUT AND GAVE FREE HAIRCUTS TO ALL WHO WERE INTERESTED AND USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO THE YOUTH TO OFFER TO TEACH BARBERING.

SHERRI OF BARBECUE BLISS VOLUNTEERED TO COOK HOT DOGS FOR US, AS SHE'S DONE IN PREVIOUS YEARS, AND DESTINATION CHURCH PROVIDED POPCORN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NIAGARA TO PROVIDE WATER FOR THE EVENT.

THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT OF SOME OF THE EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE WERE GAMES ON THE FIELD.

THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE EVENT AS CHILDREN GOT TO REALLY HAVE SOME FUN.

WE ARE THANKFUL TO THE POLICE, FIRE, EMS AND THE SHERIFF FOR ALL OF THEIR SUPPORT.

MORE PICTURES OF VENDORS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

[01:15:08]

SO THAT WAS THAT WAS A BIG WIN.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES TEAM.

A BIG THANK YOU TO MY STAFF WHO CAME TOGETHER AS AN AWESOME TEAM TO HELP MAKE THE WORK HAPPEN.

IT'S A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE TEAM THAT I HAVE.

SO THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? GREAT JOB. THANK ALWAYS ONE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO.

THANK YOU. YOU ALL HAVE A LOVELY.

THANK YOU. PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE SHALL DO WITH THIS.

IT REALLY TURNS OUT.

WELL, I MEAN, I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

THANK YOU. WOW.

SO BLESSED, AMY.

WE HAVE NO POSTPONED ITEMS. SO OUR NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS A ONE.

[ORDER OF BUSINESS (Part 1 of 2)]

THIS IS WALTON. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MR. STOKE. MR. WHITTEN UNDER TAB 11 IN YOUR PACKETS TONIGHT IS A COPY OF THE PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY 2022 STRATEGIC PLAN.

AS YOU ARE WELL AWARE, STAFF AND THE BOARD HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR.

IT'S AFTER OUR WORK SESSIONS AND DEVELOPMENT AND STAFF INTERACTIONS AND BOARD INTERACTION.

WE ARE PLEASED TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT OUR FINAL VERSION FOR YOUR REVIEW, CONSIDERATION AND POTENTIAL ADOPTION.

THE PLAN DOES INCLUDE A VISION STATEMENT AND THE MISSION STATEMENT.

THE VISION STATEMENT WAS DEVELOPED WITH A LOT OF STAFF INPUT WITH THE CONSULTANT AND A LOT OF DIVERSE PARTICIPATION. AND I BELIEVE STAFF IS VERY PROUD OF WHAT THEY WORKED UP WITH ON OUR VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT.

THE BOARD IDENTIFIED YOUR FOUR TOP STRATEGIC PRIORITIES THAT YOU WANTED TO ADDRESS IN THE PLAN FOR THE NEXT 2 TO 5 YEARS.

AND THE GOAL WAS TO DEVELOP THESE PRIORITIES BASED ON THE INPUT WE RECEIVED THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY SURVEYS, OUR COMMUNITY MEETINGS, MEETINGS WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND BUSINESSES IN THE COUNTY, AS WELL AS WITH YOURSELVES AND WITH STAFF.

AND THOSE FOUR PRIORITIES INCLUDE INFRASTRUCTURE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPERITY, LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT AND GOOD GOVERNANCE.

AND THROUGH YOUR WORK SESSIONS AND YOUR RETREAT, YOU IDENTIFIED SUB AREAS UNDERNEATH EACH OF THESE PRIORITIES THAT YOU WANTED TO INCLUDE IN THE PLAN.

AND THOSE ARE LISTED OUT UNDER EACH CATEGORY INFRASTRUCTURE.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE PRIORITIES THAT YOU DEVELOPED.

WHAT STAFF HAS ADDED TO THIS SINCE YOUR RETREAT IS SOME OF THE DATA DRIVEN NUMBERS, THE PERCENTAGES AND THE ESTIMATES OF WHAT CAN BE OBTAINED WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

AND AGAIN, THESE ARE SOME MORE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES.

UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROSPERITY.

THE BOARD DEVELOPED MAIN GOALS UNDERNEATH THAT AS WELL.

AND WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON CERTAIN RESULTS WITHIN THE COUNTY AND THOSE INCLUDE DEFINED DATES AND GOALS THAT STAFF WILL WORK ON WITH THE BOARD TO CONTINUE THOSE THOSE GROWTH AREAS THAT YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED AS AS PRIORITIES. UNDER LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT, GIVING THE DESIRE TO PRESERVE OUR RURAL HERITAGE WHILE INCREASING OUR ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AS WELL AS OUR TAX BASE.

WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT OUR LAND USE ORDINANCES AND POLICIES ARE UP TO DATE AND FUNCTIONING PROPERLY FOR THE COUNTY.

AND WHAT YOU IDENTIFIED AS A GOAL BY DECEMBER 31ST OF 2023 IS TO COMPLETELY REVISIT AND UPDATE YOUR LAND

[01:20:01]

UNDER GOOD GOVERNANCE.

THE BOARD IDENTIFIED SEVERAL PRIORITIES TO PROVIDE A HIGH QUALITY SERVICE AND CUSTOMER FOCUSED SERVICES AND WAYS TO DO THAT.

DEFINED GOALS WERE DEVELOPED.

AND THESE ARE THE LIST OF GOALS AND TIMEFRAMES THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BOARD AND STAFF.

GIVEN THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THIS IS YOUR FINAL DRAFT, WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK ON BUILDING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER THROUGH THE BOARD'S ACCEPTANCE AND ADOPTION OF THE PLAN.

AND ONCE THAT IS DONE, STAFF AND THE CONSULTANTS HAVE ALSO WORKED ON THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WHICH IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS, WHICH LAYS OUT HOW TO ACHIEVE EACH OF THOSE GOALS.

THE RESOURCES THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR EACH OF THOSE PRIORITIES TO BE ATTAINED, AND TO TIE THAT WITH OUR BUDGET INITIATIVES AND REQUEST, AS WELL AS OUR BROADCAST OUT AND UPDATES TO THE CITIZENS OF HOW WE ARE ACHIEVING OUR PRIORITIES AND WHAT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE.

AND GIVEN THAT, WE WOULD ALSO DEVELOPED QUARTERLY REPORTS TO THE BOARD AND PROVIDE INFORMATION TO OUR CITIZENS ON HOW WE ARE ACHIEVING SOME OF THOSE ITEMS THAT THEY HAD IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THE COMPLETE PACKAGE IS IN YOUR BOOKS TONIGHT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

HERE IS A SAMPLE RESOLUTION FOR ADOPTION INCLUDED AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR TALE.

MADAM CHAIR, I THINK WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS AT MANY MEETINGS.

BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT STAFF.

AND UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY COMMENTS, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.

AND BEFORE MY SECOND, JUST ONE COMMENT.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL STRATEGIC PLANS OVER THE COURSE OF TIME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE.

AND AS OF LAST MEETING THAT WE HAD DURING OUR WORK SESSION, THE THE FIRM THAT WE HIRED TO HELP GUIDE US AND DIRECT US IN MAKING SURE THAT WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE A LAUNDRY LIST OF ITEMS THAT WAS NOT ACHIEVABLE.

AND THE COMMENTS THAT THEY GAVE ALL OF OUR STAFF HERE IN THE COUNTY OF HOW WELL THEY'VE DONE SINCE OUR FIRST MEETING AND WHERE WE WERE AT.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM IN SECOND TO ACCEPT A STRATEGIC PLAN BECAUSE Y'ALL DID A GREAT JOB AND YOU REALLY IMPRESSED OUR FIRM ON HOW QUICK YOU ALL GOT TOGETHER AND MADE THINGS HAPPEN.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU ALL FOR DOING THAT.

THANK YOU. VERY GOOD.

AND THAT'S MY SECOND, MR. CHAIRMAN. ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND CALLED THE ROW.

MR. WEBB. YES.

MR. CARMICHAEL.

YES. MR. HUNTER? YES, MRS. WAYMACK. YES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. NOW WE ARE AT 730.

SO WE ARE.

THAT'S THE MAGIC NUMBER.

WE GO TO OUR PUBLIC HEARING.

[PUBLIC HEARINGS]

DO YOU? NO GOOD.

WE GO TO P ONE, BUT THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE SAME THING.

IT IS. OK.

YOU WILL PRESENT IT THEN.

GO AHEAD, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

P ONE IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST.

SC 2206 SO REQUESTS OF MICHAEL ELLIS THROUGH THE ELLIS CONSTRUCTION INC.

TO EXPAND THE EXTRACTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES.

A BORROW PIT IN THE R.A.

RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL ZONING DISTRICT.

SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 23 ACRES IN SIZE OF THE BORROW AREA LOCATED ON WATTS QUAKER ROAD AND IS IDENTIFIED BY THE TAX MAP SHOWN.

THE PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR FUTURE LAND USE IN THE CASE THE PROPERTY IS PLANNED FOR RESIDENTIAL USES.

[01:25:05]

MR. SOKOLSKI HAS MAINTAINED THIS BORROW PIT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

IT WAS RENEWABLE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

BUT THIS MAP HERE SHOWS THE FOUR PROPERTIES OUTLINED IN RED THAT CONSISTS OF THE SKULL SKI FARM WHERE THE BAR VARIOUS BORROW AREAS HAVE BEEN LOCATED OVER THE YEARS.

THIS MAP HERE IS YOUR ZONING MAP SHOWING THAT IT IS ARE A DISTRICT AND THAT THE SURROUNDING AREAS ARE A DISTRICT AS WELL.

THIS IS YOUR AERIAL VIEW SHOWING THE EXISTING FARM FIELDS AND BORROW PIT AREAS ON THE FOUR PROPERTIES.

SO ON THE BACKGROUND OF THE CASE, IT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN 1990.

IT DID HAVE A RENEWAL CLAUSE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT HE HAS COME BACK THROUGH THE YEARS AND RECEIVED HIS APPROVAL.

THE BAR DID MISS THE LAST RENEWAL, BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM MR. ELLIS THAT MR. SOKOLSKI HAS NOT BEEN OPERATING THE BAR PIT FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, AND THIS REQUEST IS TO REACTIVATE AND MOVE THE BAR TO AREAS.

SO THE REQUEST SUMMARY IS TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND THE BAR OPEN AREAS THAT WERE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS SINCE 1990.

THERE ARE THREE PARCELS HAVE PERMITTED IN THE PAST.

THIS IS FOURTH PARCEL WOULD BE ADDED AGAIN.

IT'S UNDER THE SAME OWNERSHIP AS THE OTHERS.

THE PROPOSED DISTURBED AREA CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY 23.4 ACRES OUT OF THE TOTAL OF THE OF THE OVER 100 ACRES IN THE IN THE AREA.

THEY DO HAVE THEIR PERMIT FROM THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES.

AND THEIR PROPOSED HOURS OF OPERATIONS ARE THE SAME AS THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

AND THEY DO REQUEST SOME OCCASIONAL WORK ON SUNDAYS.

BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT DOES NOT OCCUR OFTEN, IF AT ALL.

THEIR PRIMARY ACCESS ROAD IS LOCATED OFF A WEST QUAKER ROAD.

HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO INSTALL AN ENTRANCE ONTO AN EXISTING UNNAMED ACCESS ROAD THAT IS LOCATED OFF OF ROUTE 460. THAT IS A PRIVATE ACCESS AND STAFF DOES NOT HAVE ANY REGULATORY CONTROL OVER THAT.

SO WE HAVE LET THE APPLICANT KNOW THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE USERS OF THAT ROAD AND THE OWNER OF THAT ROAD. IT IS ACTUALLY THE ROAD THAT IS THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH.

IT'S THE ROAD THAT GOES TO THE FORMER JAIL, PETERSBURG JAIL.

IT GOES TO THE CRATER DETENTION CENTER CENTER, AS WELL AS THE CRATER JUSTICE ACADEMY.

HE WOULD HAVE TO WORK.

NOW STIPULATIONS WITH THE OWNERS OF THAT AS FAR AS ROAD MAINTENANCE AND YES, ROAD MAINTENANCE AND TO BE PART OF THEIR AGREEMENT TO USE THAT ACCESS THE PROPERTY DOES BORDER THAT ROAD.

IT DOES COME RIGHT UP TO THAT ROAD.

SO HE IS AN ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER OF THAT ROAD.

HE IS JUST NOT IN THE PAST HAD AN ACCESS TO THAT ROAD.

THIS SITE LAYOUT HERE SHOWS THE HEAVY DARK LINE IS THE OUTLINE OF THE FOUR PROPERTIES.

THE SMALL DASHED LINES THAT ARE LABELED AREA A, B AND C ARE THE CURRENT REQUESTED AREAS FOR BORROW PIT. IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT OPERATION, THEY THEY CAN ONLY DIG ABOUT 17 OR 20 FEET IN THE LOCATION.

SO THEY ACTUALLY MOVE OPERATIONS AROUND AND THEY FILL BACK IN THE AREAS THAT THEY HAVE HAVE LEFT AND GO TO NEW AREAS ON THE PROPERTY.

SO THIS IS THE TOTAL ACREAGE WITH THOSE THREE AREAS, A, B AND C OUTLINED.

THE STAFF READS REVIEW COMMENTS CONSISTS MAINLY OF OF MITIGATION OF OF ANY NOISE OR WORK TIMES.

[01:30:04]

WE HAVE NOT HAD ISSUES WITH THE OPERATION IN THE PAST, SINCE THE NINETIES.

WE OCCASIONALLY HAVE TRUCK TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS ON WEST QUAKER ROAD.

WE CAN'T ATTRIBUTE ATTRIBUTE ANY PARTICULAR TRUCK TRAFFIC TO ANY ONE USE ON THAT ROAD.

BUT OVERALL, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE THE LIMITED ACTIVITY AT THIS SITE IS A LARGE CONTRIBUTOR TO ANY COMPLAINTS.

THE APPLICANT DID AT ONE POINT REQUEST ACCESS FROM THE CITY OF PETERSBURG FOR THAT ROAD, ACCESS TO THAT PRIVATE ROAD.

AND WE HAVE REQUESTED THAT HE PROVIDE A NEW PERMISSION GRANTING ACCESS BEFORE HE USES THAT.

AGAIN. THE ADJACENT USES ARE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FARM.

THE EXPECTED IMPACTS BACK TO THE TRUCK, TRUCK TRAFFIC AND NOISE.

THE MITIGATION PUT FORWARD THROUGH THE CONDITIONS INCLUDE THE EXISTING BUFFERS THAT WERE PART OF THE ORIGINAL REQUIREMENTS, THE NOISE THROUGH THE COUNTY NOISE ORDINANCE AS WELL AS SOME OTHER CONDITIONS.

WE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE DID HAVE ONE QUESTION FROM A NEARBY RESIDENTS CONCERNING ANY POTENTIAL BURNING OPERATIONS AND TO TO LET THE BOARD KNOW THIS IS NOT ANY THIS IS NOT APPROVAL FOR ANY BURNING OPERATIONS.

THE APPLICANT HAS NO INTENTION OF THAT.

THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ACCEPT MATERIALS OTHER THAN THAN THE BORROW PIT MATERIALS AND MATERIALS THAT ARE ALLOWED UNDER THEIR MINING, WHICH IS MAINLY SOIL.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION HAD NORMAL COMMENTS.

AS THEY MOVE SITES, THEY MAY NEED A GENERAL LAND DISTURBANCE PERMIT.

THE VDOT DID NOT HAVE ISSUES THAT THE ENTRANCE IS ALREADY EXISTING, HAS BEEN EXISTING.

BUT AND AGAIN, IF THEY DO LOOK TOWARDS THAT PRIVATE ROAD, THAT IS NOT A VDOT MAINTAINED ROAD AND THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ANY COMMENTS.

WE DID FOLLOW UP WITH VDOT ABOUT THE ENTRANCE OF THAT PRIVATE ROAD.

TO ROOT FOR 60.

AND MR. HENSON DID CONFIRM THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH TRAFFIC AT THAT INTERSECTION.

PLANNING COMMISSION HELD THE PUBLIC HEARING ON AUGUST 25TH AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL TO THIS BOARD SUBJECT TO THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN YOUR PACKET AND IN THE DRAFT RESOLUTION.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE RECOMMENDED CONDITION.

WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE DO NOT INCLUDE THE FIVE YEAR RENEWAL OF THE LIFE OF THE BORROW PIT FOR THESE AREAS WITH THEIR DEPTH OF 17 TO 20 FEET IS APPROXIMATELY TEN YEARS AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE LOCATIONS AGAIN.

SO IT'S KIND OF AN AUTOMATIC THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK FOR REVISION TO THEIR SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO TO PUT A FIVE YEAR LIMIT ON IT FROM THIS BOARD.

THE HIGHLIGHTS ALSO INCLUDE ADHERENCE TO ALL APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF CORRIE MINES AND PITS AS WELL AS THE STATE REQUIREMENTS.

OBTAIN THE UPDATED LETTER FROM THE CITY OF PETERSBURG FOR ANY USE OF THE ACCESS ROAD.

THE BORROW PIT LOCATION IS LIMITED TO THE TEN ACRES AT ANY ONE TIME AND THE APPLICANT TO MODIFY THEIR EXISTING PERMIT HELD WITH V DM, WHICH IS CURRENTLY 3.6 ACRES.

THE SITE PLAN SHALL BE APPROVED BEFORE THE NEW ACTIVITIES BEGIN.

AND AGAIN, THE FULL LIST OF RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS WHICH CARRY CONTAINS SOME CARRYOVER CONDITIONS FROM THE ORIGINAL IS IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.

THE STAFF WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I'M GOOD. LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE BOROUGH PIT.

ACTUALLY, THE WAY THE OPERATION WORKS, THIS IS A LARGE ACREAGE, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS MAP HERE.

[01:35:02]

THEY HAVE THIS REQUEST IS TO OPEN THREE AREAS AT ONE TIME FOR A MAXIMUM OF TEN ACRES AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

SO IT'S THE ACREAGE THAT CAN'T.

YES. BUT THEY CAN MOVE IT FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.

WITHIN THOSE DASHED AREAS, THEY WOULD NOT.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THEY WOULD NOT OPEN THAT ENTIRE AREA AT ONE TIME.

AND THEN WHEN THEY USED TO USE THEIR FINISH, THEIR FILL BACK IN.

YES. IT'S A BURROW PIT.

IT'S DIRT IN, DIRT OUT.

THEY THEY PROVIDE DIRT FOR CONSTRUCTION SITES AS WELL AS ACCEPT DIRT FROM CONSTRUCTION SITES.

CUT FILL IS IS QUITE COMMON.

SOMETIMES SITES NEED ADDITIONAL FILL AND SOMETIMES THEY NEED TO REMOVE FILL IN ORDER TO TO TO GET A EVEN SLAB OR EVEN PAD SITE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT.

YES. YES, MA'AM.

DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK? I WOULD LIKE. PLEASE COME UP.

BUT EVEN LIKE LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.

MIKE ELLIS. ELLIS CONSTRUCTION BEEN HERE ALL MY LIFE.

HERE WITH MY WIFE, JILL.

I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION AND YOURS WORKER PLANNING.

IT IS A FULL IT'S A IT'S A FULL FLEDGED BAR, A PIT.

WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO CUT, WE'RE GOING TO EXCAVATE.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE THREE ZONES THAT YOU HAVE THERE.

ONE'S BEEN EXCAVATED OVER THE PAST, WHAT, SINCE 1990.

IT'S 11 ACRE ZONE THAT'S ALREADY IT'S ALREADY BEEN EXCAVATED.

WE'RE MOVING TO THE TWO LOWER ZONES.

WHAT DOES THAT BE? AND SEE, EXCAVATE THOSE AREAS, PUSH BACK TO WE GET TO THE ACREAGE ONCE WE ONCE WE EXCAVATE THAT THAT AREA WILL EITHER BRING THE IMPORT IN OR OVERBURDEN FROM THE SITE WHERE WE STRIP OVERBURDEN, PUT IT BACK IN PLACE.

AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE GIST OF THE BAR PIT WILL MINIMIZE DUST BURNING ANY COMPLAINTS WE'RE GOING TO SATISFY ANYBODY'S ANYBODY'S COMPLAINT ROAD TRAFFIC WE'LL MINIMIZE WE'LL ALWAYS SUGGEST GO TO 460, COME BACK DOWN AS WE SPOKE WITH YOU GUYS.

WE APPRECIATE THE APPROVAL BUT IS ALSO ON THE IMPORT OF DIRT.

WE'LL BE TAKING STONE OUT BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TRY TO SCREEN THE SAND, DO DIFFERENT MATERIALS LIKE FOR YOUR PROJECTS.

YOU HAVE THE BIO FILTER MEDIA.

SO I'M TRYING TO INTEGRATE THE BORROWED MATERIALS INTO A A RECYCLED PRODUCT.

SO THE MATERIALS ARE COMING OUT AND NOT JUST NECESSARILY FOR MY PROJECTS OR JOLIE'S PROJECTS, IT'S GOING TO BE THE BIO FILTER MIX.

I'M TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT MIX AND GO ON.

SO I EAT IMPORTED MATERIALS BRUSH.

AND MAYBE SAYING IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SAND IN THE IN THE STRATA LAYERS THERE, ONCE WE ESTIMATE THE SAND, WE MIX IT WITH THE TOPSOIL, WE GET COMPOST BRINGING IN THERE AND MIX THEM ALL TOGETHER, GRIND THE TREES, GET IT TO A SMALL TWO OR THREE FOUR INCH SIZE, MIX IT IN, CREATE THE COMPOST, MIX THE BLEND HAVE FOR ALL YOUR FUTURE PROJECTS FOR LIKE BIO FILTER MEDIA.

WE DON'T HAVE IT IN THIS AREA.

I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION, THAT'S ALL.

THAT'S ALL I REALLY HAVE IS MIKE ELLIS.

I'M NICE TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU FINALLY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I OPEN THIS UP TO THE PUBLIC.

ANYBODY WHO WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS.

EXCEPTION. PLEASE COME FORWARD.

GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE 4 MINUTES TO SPEAK.

SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD.

I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TURN IT BACK TO THE BOARD.

WHAT'S THE BOARD'S PLEASURE, MADAM CHAIR, IF THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION, I MOVED TO ACCEPT THIS SPECIAL EXCEPTION AS RECOMMENDED.

AND I'LL SECOND THAT ROLE, PLEASE.

MR. CARMICHAEL? YES, MR. HUNTER. YEAH.

THIS IS WAYMACK. YES, MR. WEBB. YES, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT WE GO TO SPECIAL HEARING P TO ORDINANCE FOR ONE TIME WAIVER OF A CODE SECTION.

MR. HALTOM, YOU MAY KNOW THIS.

OF THE BOARD. WE KNOW THIS AS OF WATER.

THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM.

THIS IS BECOMING ROUTINE.

SO, AGAIN, WE HAVE ANOTHER COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS CASE.

IT IS SHEETS THAT IS INTENDED TO DEVELOP A COMMERCIAL GAS STATION.

WELL, A GAS STATION WITH SOME COMMERCIAL DIESEL AS WELL.

IT WILL BE ANOTHER TRUCK STOP ALONG ROUTE 460 AT THE CORNER OF 460 IN WEST QUAKER.

PRINCE GEORGE OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO SERVE THIS CUSTOMER RIGHT NOW, EITHER WATER OR SEWER.

[01:40:04]

WHERE WOULD HIS WATER AND SEWER COME FROM? SO THEY'VE COME AND ASKED FOR A WAIVER TO ALLOW THEM TO INSTALL PRIVATE FACILITIES ONLINE.

AND WE OWN THE SITE JUST AGAIN, JUST WHERE IT'S LOCATED.

IT'S JUST A VICINITY MAP SHOWING WHERE IT'S LOCATED.

YOU CAN SEE JUST TO THE EAST IS THE PILOT AND WENDY'S AND TO THE WEST IS THAT LARGE PORTION OF TRACK THAT'S CURRENTLY VACANT.

AND IT'S JUST A LITTLE BLOW UP TO SHOW YOU WHERE EXACTLY.

IT'S RIGHT ON THE CORNER OF WEST QUAKER AND COUNTY DRIVE.

YOU CAN SEE WE DO ALREADY HAVE WATER AND SEWER AVAILABLE IN THE AREA.

WHEN IT BECOMES WHEN THE CAPACITY BECOMES AVAILABLE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT.

UNFORTUNATELY, RIGHT NOW, NEITHER THE WATER OR THE SEWER HAS THE CAPACITY TO CONNECT.

EXCUSE ME. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, ORDINANCE DOES NOT ALLOW PRIVATE FACILITIES WITHOUT COMING TO THIS BOARD FOR A WAIVER.

SO THEREFORE, WE HAVE THESE ARE THE TWO SECTIONS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ASKED US TO CONSIDER AND TO TO WAIVE AND ALLOW THEM TO PUT ON TO INSTALL PRIVATE FACILITIES FOR THEIR WATER AND SEWER NEEDS.

THE WATER IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A WELL.

THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER OPTION IN THE WELL OUT IN THIS AREA.

THE APPLICANT WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY SATISFY THEIR REQUIREMENTS TO INSTALL THE WELL AS WELL AS THE WASTEWATER SIDE.

THEY'RE TRYING TO PLAN THEIR THEIR SITE PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION TO IN LINE WITH OUR IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR WASTEWATER FACILITIES, KNOWING THAT OUR FORCE MAY RELOCATION PROJECT SHOULD BE DONE IN THE NEXT YEAR AND A HALF OR SO.

THEY PLAN TO TIME THE CONSTRUCTION OR OPENING OF THEIR FACILITIES WITH THAT THE COMPLETION OF OUR PROJECT BUT THEY ARE ASKING FOR A TEMPORARY WAIVER. SHOULD PUMP AND HALL BE NECESSARY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IF WE HAVE ANY DELAYS ON OUR SIDE? SO THAT'S THAT IS THEIR PLAN.

SO AGAIN, BOTH OF THOSE SOLUTIONS WILL REQUIRE APPROVAL OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

AGAIN, THE APPLICANT IS JUST REQUESTING THESE THESE THIS WAIVER BE APPROVED FOR THEIR PLANNING PURPOSES.

THIS HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADVERTISED, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. HALTOM? NO, MA'AM.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

NO MORE QUESTIONS. I OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING THIS TO THE PUBLIC FOR ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST IT, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU'LL HAVE 4 MINUTES TO SPEAK.

I SEE NO ONE COMING FORWARD.

I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TURN IT BACK TO THE BOARD.

BUT I HAVE ONE QUESTION, AND IT MIGHT NOT RELATE TO WHAT YOU DO MORE TO WHAT JULIE DOES.

WE HAD A HAZMAT INCIDENT OVER AT THE PILOT THERE ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO.

WE FOUND ALL OF THEIR DRAINS ARE HOOKED TOGETHER, BASICALLY, AND GO UNDERNEATH.

IS IT NEW BOHEMIA ROAD TO LITTLE ROAD BEHIND? RIGHT. AND GO TO THAT POND IN THE BACK.

IS THIS GOING TO BE THE SAME SITUATION OR ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE THEIR DRAIN GO TO SAY OR IS IT TOO SOON TO KNOW? WELL, YEAH, I KNOW THEY HAVE STARTED SUBMITTING SITE PLANS.

AND MR. LUMPKIN, OUR OFFICE HAS BEEN REVIEWING THOSE.

I HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THE DETAILS MYSELF ON THAT.

BUT TYPICALLY THERE SHOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF OIL WATER SEPARATOR IF THEY DON'T GO TO SOME OTHER TYPE OF FACILITY, BUT PRIOR TO IT ENTERING INTO THE STORM SYSTEM.

OKAY. I'M JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE HAD JUST HAD A SITUATION.

IT WAS A CHALLENGE TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY DRAIN TO.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T HAVE ANY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

ANYBODY? I'M GOOD.

WE ACCEPTED THIS PRESENT.

I'M GOOD. I WAS TAKING IT ALL RIGHT.

WOULD YOU CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE? MR. HUNTER. YES.

THIS IS WAYMACK.

YES. MR. WEBB.

YES. MR. CARMICHAEL.

YES. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, FRANK.

OUR NEXT ITEM IS P-3 LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE USE OF THE STORAGE BAY AT THIS BOTANIC COMMUNITY CENTER.

MR. WHITTEN. YES, MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. STOKE L3 HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES IS DOING THE RADIO PROJECT FOR US AND THEY'VE SUBCONTRACTED WITH AM SERVICES AS THE MAINTENANCE PROVIDER FOR THE RADIO PROJECT.

AND WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO DO IS LEASE THE STORAGE BAY AND END DESPITE HAVING TO STORE EQUIPMENT RELATED TO THE RADIO SYSTEM

[01:45:07]

AND IT'S WHERE THE DISPUTE AND VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY CENTER AND LIBRARY ARE LOCATED.

AND THE BAY IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER ON OUR LEFT SIDE.

IT WOULD BE A 20 YEAR TERM AND L3 HARRIS WOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO EXTEND THE LEASE ON ANNUAL BASIS.

THERE WOULD BE NO FEE FOR THE USE OF THE BAY AND THE COUNTY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING IN SOME STORAGE SHELVING.

AND THEY ALSO NEED TO PUT IN PROPER HVAC BECAUSE THEY'RE RADIO TECHNICIAN FOR THE SUBCONTRACTOR WILL BE USING THAT SPACE AS WELL.

THE VIRGINIA CODE DOES REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING WHEN THE COUNTY IS LEASING PROPERTY AND THAT PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADVERTISED.

BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS. NOTHING THEY WILL DO WILL INTERFERE WITH ANY OF OUR CITIZENS WHO USE THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

I KNOW RIGHT NOW THE STORAGE BAY.

I THINK THERE'S JUST SOME EQUIPMENT OR OLD STOVES AND STUFF THAT'S IN THERE.

IT'S NOT REALLY USED BY THE CITIZENS RIGHT NOW, SO IT WON'T IMPACT THE LIBRARY OR THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

THEY'LL HAVE EQUIPMENT IN THAT STORAGE BAY.

CORRECT. SO IT'LL BE LIKE THE EXTRA EQUIPMENT THAT'S NEEDED FOR THE RADIO SYSTEM, LIKE SPARE EQUIPMENT THAT WE'LL USE.

AND THE RADIO TECHNICIAN WILL ALSO BE BASED THERE.

SO IF THERE'S EVER A MAINTENANCE CONCERN, THEN WE'LL CONTACT THE RADIO TECHNICIAN AND HE'LL HAVE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT THERE TO FIX THE SYSTEM SO WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S ADEQUATE FIRE PROTECTION AND SPRINKLER SYSTEM OR THE TYPE THAT'S NEEDED FOR THAT EQUIPMENT TO BE IN PLACE.

THAT'D BE UP TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL TO DETERMINE WHAT'S NEEDED FOR THE BUILDING.

IF IT'S NEEDED, THEY'LL PAY FOR THAT, NOT US.

I DON'T BELIEVE MISS WALTON'S HERE, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE ANY ANY OF THAT TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE IS NEEDED.

I DON'T THINK THEY NEED TO PUT IN A SPRINKLER SYSTEM.

WE JUST HAVE TO PUT IN THE HVAC BECAUSE THERE'S NOT HEATING AND COOLING IN THAT FACILITY RIGHT NOW.

SO I BELIEVE WE JUST NEED TO PUT IN THE HVAC SYSTEM AND THE SHELVING.

I DON'T BELIEVE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS NEEDED.

WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT TO STORE THIS EQUIPMENT, RIGHT.

BECAUSE THERE WILL BE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT IN THERE.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S PROPERLY TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED.

WE'LL BE TESTING TYPE EQUIPMENT IN THERE.

SO CORRECT, AS YOU WILL KNOW, IT HAS TO BE IT'S GOT TO BE IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.

I THINK THE I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED OR THEY'RE WORKING ON IT NOW, INSTALLING THE SHELVING AND THE HVAC.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, NO MORE QUESTIONS.

OPEN THIS UP TO THE PUBLIC.

ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND 4 MINUTES TO SPEAK.

SEE NO ONE.

COME FORWARD. I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TURN IT BACK TO THE BOARD.

I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS EXCEPT FOR THEIR THEY'RE USING IT NOW AND BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'VE INSTALLED A BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT.

DO YOU KNOW IF THEY'LL BE ON EVERYBODY? YEAH. I THINK IT'LL BE VERY, VERY WORKABLE IN A GOOD LOCATION FOR COUNTY VEHICLES TO GO AND GET STUFF POLICE CARS, FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO INSTALL LARGE EQUIPMENT.

I MEAN, LARGE TRUCKS, BUT ALL THE.

THEY ARE STARTING TO USE IT. WE JUST THOUGHT A LEASE WOULD BE PROPER.

SINCE IT IS A 20 YEAR TERM, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT.

WELL, PROPERTY IS LOCKED UP FOR THAT AMOUNT OF TIME, SO WE KNEW WE HAD A DESIGNATED LOCATION FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW LONG THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACT.

THE ENTRANCE IS AROUND BACK AS YOU DRIVE IN FRONT OF THE LIBRARY, WHAT HAVE YOU.

YOU GO AROUND BACK AND COME INTO THAT BACK END OF IT SO IT WON'T BE IMPOSING TRAFFIC PROBLEMS, PEOPLE GOING TO THE LIBRARY OR TO THE ROOM.

IF NO OTHER COMMENTS, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT IT.

I'LL SECOND IT. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. HUNTER. YES.

MRS. WAYMACK? YES. MR. WEBB.

YES. MR. CARMICHAEL.

YES. THANK YOU.

P4 IS AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF PRINCE GEORGE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.

MR. JODY JAMBOREE.

YES. THANK YOU.

[01:50:01]

THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, WHICH IS A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE COMMONWEALTH, WAS CREATED IN 1975 BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BY ORDINANCE THROUGH THE AUTHORIZATION OF STATE CODE 15.2 4903.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES MAY ACQUIRE OWN LEASE, DISPOSE OF PROPERTIES AND MAKE LOANS AND CAN PROMOTE INDUSTRY AND DEVELOP TRADE BY ATTRACTING BUSINESSES TO LOCATE OR REMAIN IN THAT LOCALITY.

ON JULY 20TH, THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY APPROVED A MOTION ON A 5 TO 2 VOTE, RECOMMENDING TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CHANGING THE NAME OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY CODE OF VIRGINIA. 15.2 4903 GIVES THE PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THE NAME BY ORDINANCE AMENDMENT.

THE CHANGING OF THE NAME DOES NOT CHANGE ANY OF THE POWERS OF THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISION.

ON AUGUST 9TH, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED THE AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ADVERTISEMENT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET AND WAS PROPERLY ADVERTISED.

THE DRAFT ORDINANCE OF THE NAME CHANGE IS IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL.

BY THAT I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED THE NAME CHANGE OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA UNDER THE PRINCE GEORGE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 22 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SECTION 22 ONE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.

I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU. Q THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? NO, MA'AM. NO QUESTIONS.

I'M GOOD. IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, I OPEN THIS.

PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS CHANGE, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE 4 MINUTES TO SPEAK.

SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD HOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TO THE BOARD.

THERE'S NO DISCUSSION. AS CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THIS AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MRS. WAYMACK? YES, MR. WEBB.

YES. MR. CARMICHAEL? YES.

MR. HUNTER. YES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. OUR PUBLIC HEARING.

NOW WE GO BACK TO OUR ORDER OF BUSINESS.

[ORDER OF BUSINESS (Part 2 of 2)]

MR. HALTOM. ONCE AGAIN, MADAM CHAIR.

WAYMACK EXCUSE ME.

I WAS BORED. MR. STOKE. MR. WHITTEN. THE COUNTY DOES OWN TWO WASTEWATER PUMP STATIONS ALONG ROUTE FOUR 60.

THEY'RE KNOWN AS PUMP STATION NUMBER NINE AND NUMBER TEN.

THESE STATIONS WERE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED BACK IN THE 1980S, AND THEY ARE STILL OPERATING WITH THEIR ORIGINAL PUMPS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

IT KIND OF SPEAKS TO THE ABILITY OF OUR OUR MAINTENANCE STAFF, EVEN KEEP KEEPING THINGS RUNNING VERY WELL FOR FOR VERY LONG TIME WITH THEIR SKILLS.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S BECOMING VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND PARTS TO AS THESE CERTAIN PARTS FAIL.

WHEN WE DO CALL UP THE DAKOTA PUMPS, THEY ALMOST LAUGH AT US BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THEM ON THE SHELF NO MORE OR THEY'RE JUST AMAZED THAT IT'S STILL AN OPERATION.

SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE MOVE FORWARD TO REPLACE THESE TWO STATIONS.

WE ARE WORKING WITH GORMAN RUPP TO IDENTIFY THE COSTS.

GOMER RUPP HAS BECOME OUR ESSENTIALLY OUR SOLE SOURCE TYPE OF PUMP THAT WE WERE TRYING TO USE WITHIN THE COUNTY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE NOT ONLY THE THE SPARE PARTS ON A SHELF AVAILABLE FOR ANY TYPE OF PUMP STATION, BUT ALSO ALLOWS OUR STAFF TO BE WELL TRAINED ON WHAT THEY'RE WORKING ON INSTEAD OF HAVING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT PUMPS TO WORK ON AND NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH ANY OF THEM.

SO WE HAVE STANDARDIZED OUR PUMPS TO BE GORMAN RUPP PUMPS FOR THESE LARGER STATIONS.

WE DO HAVE OTHER PUMPS FOR OUR SMALLER SUBMERSIBLE STATIONS, BUT FOR ANY LARGE STATIONS SUCH AS THESE, WE ARE MAKING IT A STANDARD TO USE.

GORMAN RUPP TEN CAVA AS THE VENDOR FOR GORMAN RUPP AND YOUR PACKAGE, YOU SHOULD HAVE A SOLE SOURCE OF THAT FROM GORMAN ERUPTED IDENTIFIES TEN CARVER MACHINERY COMPANY AS THE THE SOLE SOURCE FOR FOR THOSE NEEDING THOSE TYPE OF SERVICES HERE IN VIRGINIA.

WE DID RECEIVE A PROPOSAL FROM TEN CAVA AND IN THERE THEY OFFER UP TWO PUMP AND CLOSED PUMP STATIONS.

[01:55:03]

IT'S NOT THE PUMPS AND MOTORS, BUT ALSO SO WE'RE ESSENTIALLY GETTING ALMOST A BRAND NEW STATION, SAVE THE WET.

WELL, THAT'S OUT THERE.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO COME IN WITH THE CRANE AND ESSENTIALLY DROP THE STATION DOWN ON A NEW CONCRETE PAD AND WE JUST HAVE TO WIRE IT UP.

EVERYTHING'S BEEN PRE ENGINEERED AND TESTED AND THEY'RE THEIR FACILITIES.

SO ONCE WE GET IT HERE, WE CAN ALMOST START IT RIGHT UP, BUT VERY LITTLE DOWNTIME.

SO IT ALLOWS US A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR PROPOSAL.

THERE'S A COST FOR ONE AND A COST FOR TWO, ESSENTIALLY A 5% SAVINGS FOR ORDERING TWO AT THE SAME TIME.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

AGAIN, BOTH BOTH PUMPS ARE THE SAME AGE INSTALLED AROUND THE VERY SAME TIME.

WE DO FEEL IT'S WORTHY OF REPLACING BOTH THESE STATIONS NOW BECAUSE WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH BOTH.

WE DO RECOMMEND THE USE OF ARPA FUNDS FOR THE FUND.

THIS COST WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH FINANCE TO WORK OUT THAT APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO USE FOR THIS PROJECT, WHICH WOULD BE TWO PROJECTS.

WE DO ANTICIPATE BOTH PROJECTS TO COST ABOUT 300,000 IN TOTAL FOR A TOTAL OF 600 FOR BOTH, WHICH IS THE OTHER ADDITIONAL COSTS OUTSIDE OF THESE PUMPS WILL BE THE POURING OF THE PAD AND HIRE AN ELECTRICIAN TO WIRE EVERYTHING UP, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S WORKING RIGHT.

SO WE'LL HAVE SOME OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT AS WELL.

BUT IF WERE THE PROJECT WILL ALLOW US TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE CONTINUED WASTEWATER SERVICE FOR ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU SAID ABOUT THE DOWNTIME, WHAT KIND OF DOWNTIME WE HAVE? WELL, WE WANT TO HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT DOWNTIME IN THE SENSE OF HAVING TO PUMP OFFLINE.

WE DO HAVE PORTABLE PUMPS THAT WE'LL HAVE INSTALLED.

WE EITHER DROP IN THE WET WELL OR THE MANHOLE RIGHT BEFORE IT GETS TO THE WET WELL.

AND WE'LL JUST PULL RIGHT OUT OF THOSE DIRECTLY INTO THE FORCE MAIN SO THERE WON'T BE ANY DOWNTIME.

BUT WE DON'T LIKE OPERATING ON EMERGENCY BYPASS PUMPS.

THE PUMPS FAILED, THEN WE HAVE A DOWNTIME AND THAT'S MORE OF AN EMERGENCY.

SO IT'S A PLANNED PUMPING OPERATION THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO USE STANDBY PUMPS.

GOOD. OTHER QUESTIONS.

TIM CARVER IS THE REP FOR RUFF.

I DEAL WITH HIM A LOT. I HAVE A MOTION.

MADAM CHAIR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

WE APPROVE. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. WAYMACK? YES, MR. HUNTER.

YES, MR. CARMICHAEL? YES, MR. WEBB. YES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. A3A CHANGE TO THE POSITION CONTROL CHART.

IS THIS HURT? GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. STOKE AND MR. WHITTEN.

ON JULY 12TH, THE CHIEF OF POLICE RECEIVED THE BOARD'S PERMISSION TO APPLY FOR AN SRO GRANT FOR HARRISON ELEMENTARY.

THE GRANT WAS AWARDED ON AUGUST THE 19TH.

TONIGHT, WE'RE SEEKING A REVISION TO THE POSITION CONTROL CHART TO ADD ONE FULL TIME POLICE OFFICER AND IN ADDITION, SEEKING APPROVAL OF THE APPROPRIATION OF THE ANTICIPATED GRANT REVENUES TO THE FY 23 BUDGET.

THAT'S $103,389.

THERE IS NO REQUIRED LOCAL MATCH FOR THE GRANT FOR FY 23.

SO WE ARE JUST ASKING YOU TO APPROVE A CHANGE TO THE CONTROL CHART TONIGHT AND A RESOLUTION HAS BEEN INCLUDED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

NO QUESTIONS.

I'M GOOD HEARING NO QUESTIONS.

MR. CHAIRMAN. I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THIS CHANGE A SECOND.

THANK YOU. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. HUNTER. YES.

MR. CARMICHAEL. YES.

MR. WEBB. YES.

MRS. WAYMACK. YES.

THANK YOU. A FOR A CHANGE TO POSITION CONTROL CHART TO RECLASSIFY A UTILITY WORKER.

MR.. GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

THE BOARD APPROVED THE ADDITION OF A PART TIME UTILITY WORKER THREE DURING THE FY 23 BUDGET PROCESS.

THE POSITION WAS POSTED, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN FILLED AS OF YET, SO IT IS STILL VACANT.

RECENTLY, STORMWATER RESPONSIBILITIES TRANSITION FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT TO THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT.

NO PERSONNEL WAS TRANSFERRED TO HELP WITH THAT SHIFT DUE TO THE WORKLOAD DEMANDS THAT THIS WILL PRESENT TO THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT.

THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND UTILITIES IS REQUESTING TO RECLASSIFY THE VACANT PART TIME POSITION TO A NEWLY CREATED FULL TIME UTILITY INSPECTOR.

WE DID PREPARE A JOB DESCRIPTION WITH A GRADE 314, WHICH WAS APPROPRIATE.

[02:00:05]

THERE'S A PROJECTED FIELD DATE OF NOVEMBER 1ST, IF YOU WOULD APPROVE IT, AND THE FULL YEAR ESTIMATED IMPACT FOR FY 24 AND BEYOND WOULD BE $26,703.

OF COURSE, THAT IS NET OF ANY FUTURE PAY INCREASES AND BENEFIT RATE CHANGES.

STAFF RECOMMENDS PAYING 25% OF THAT SALARY AND BENEFITS USING THE STORMWATER FEES THAT ARE ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE STORMWATER FUND.

THE FY 23 ADOPTED BUDGET INCLUDES STORMWATER FUND CONTINGENCY OF $48,200, SO A BUDGET TRANSFER FROM STORMWATER FUND CONTINGENCY TO THE STORMWATER SALARY AND BENEFIT LINES WOULD TOTAL $11,968, WHICH WOULD COVER THE 25% OF THE SALARY AND BENEFITS REQUESTED FOR FY 23.

A RESOLUTION HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THIS CONTROL CHART CHANGE AND A BUDGET TRANSFER FROM STORMWATER CONTINGENCY.

AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

QUESTIONS. I'M GOOD.

QUESTIONS. NO.

I ACCEPT THE RESOLUTION.

AND OUR SECOND. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. CARMICHAEL? YES, MR. WEBB? YES.

MRS. WAYMACK? YES.

MR. HUNTER. YES.

THANK YOU. A FIVE.

A REVISION TO POSITION CHART CONTROL IN THE REAL ESTATE ESTATE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE.

MS.. HER THIS IS THE LAST ONE.

GOOD EVENING. ONE MORE TIME JUST FOR TONIGHT.

THE BOARD HONORED CAROLE CRAWFORD TONIGHT FOR HER RETIREMENT.

SHE WAS RECENTLY RETIRED AS THE COORDINATOR FOR REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS.

ON AUGUST THE FIRST, THE COUNTY HIRED MR. GORDON HERE, WHICH IS OUR NEW REAL ESTATE ASSESSOR, AND HE HAS BEEN ASSESSING THE NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT SINCE THE DAY HE ARRIVED.

HE HAS ALREADY HIRED A SENIOR REAL ESTATE APPRAISER TO REPLACE MS..

MABE WHEN SHE LEFT.

AND WE WILL HAVE A REAL ESTATE TECHNICIAN FULL TIME STARTING AS OF OCTOBER THE FIRST.

WE'VE BEEN UTILIZING A FORMER TECHNICIAN THAT RETIRED IN A PART TIME CAPACITY FOR THE TIME BEING.

THE RECENT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VISION SOFTWARE WILL REDUCE ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES, AND THE ASSESSOR FEELS THAT RESOURCES WOULD BE BETTER ALLOCATED TO THE APPRAISAL FUNCTION. FOR THIS REASON, HE'S REQUESTING A RECLASSIFICATION OF THAT COORDINATOR FOR POSITION TO A SENIOR REAL ESTATE APPRAISER POSITION.

THE RECLASSIFICATION AND HIRING OF ANOTHER SENIOR APPRAISAL APPRAISER WILL ALLOW FOR HIM FASTER TRANSITION FROM PRO VAL TO VISION FOR JANUARY 1ST, 2023 VALUATIONS. AND IT WILL REDUCE REDUCE THE NEED TO RELY ON TRENDING FOR REAL PROPERTY VALUATIONS.

THIS POSITION WILL ALLOW FOR MORE IN-PERSON EVALUATIONS AND INSPECTIONS ANNUALLY.

THERE IS NO FISCAL IMPACT FOR FY 23 AND NO APPROPRIATION REQUIRED.

THE FULL YEAR ESTIMATED IMPACT FOR FY 24 AND BEYOND WOULD BE ABOUT 12,000 733.

OF COURSE, NET OF ANY PAY CHANGES AND BENEFIT CHANGES RESOLUTION HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR CONSIDERATION TO THE POSITION CONTROL CHART AND WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

YOURS ALSO PRESENT.

ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS.

MADAM CHAIR, I MOVE. WE APPROVE.

SECOND. A SECOND.

COLORADO, PLEASE.

MR. CARMICHAEL. YES.

MR. WEBB. YES.

MRS. WAYMACK.

YES. MR. HUNTER. YES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

A SIX APPROPRIATION OF ADDITIONAL STATE REVENUES.

MS.. DREWRY.

YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING.

CHAIRMAN WAYMACK. BOARD MEMBERS MR. STOKE AND MR. WHITTEN. I COME BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE FY 23 STATE REVENUES.

AS YOU ARE AWARE, WHEN YOU ADOPTED YOUR BUDGET FOR FY 23 ON MAY 24TH, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAD NOT ADOPTED THE STATE BUDGET.

WITH UPDATES THAT WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

I AM NOW PROJECTING THAT WE WILL RECEIVE 121,829 MORE DOLLARS THAN WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR ADOPTED BUDGET AND A FEW DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. THE FIRST IS POLICE FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVE THROUGH DC, CJS HOUSE BILL 599 MONEY.

WE WILL RECEIVE ABOUT 53,044 MORE DOLLARS.

AND YOU JUST APPROVED THE ADDITION OF AN SRO IN YOUR POSITION CONTROL CHART.

THAT FUNDING WOULD ALLOW US TO PURCHASE OR WOULD ALLOW THE PD TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND EQUIP THAT OFFICER.

[02:05:06]

THE NEXT SECTION OF FUNDING IS FROM THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF ELECTIONS.

ABOUT 37,020 MORE DOLLARS WILL BE RECEIVED THAN WHAT WE PROJECTED.

WE WOULD NEED TO USE ABOUT $500 FOR A MANDATED INCREASE TO THE ELECTORAL BOARD THAT WE DID NOT INCLUDE IN THE ADOPTED BUDGET.

THE REMAINING 36,000 520 WOULD INCREASE YOUR GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY.

THE THIRD CATEGORY IS COMP BOARD MONEY THAT WE RECEIVE FOR OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS.

NET, WE ARE PROJECTED TO RECEIVE ABOUT 29,147 MORE DOLLARS THAN WHAT YOU WE INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTED BUDGET.

WE DO NEED TO PROVIDE SOME INCREASES THAT WERE MANDATED IN THE FINAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE THAT TOTALS ABOUT 11,000 12,000.

THE REMAINING 17,910 WILL GO IN YOUR GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY.

AND FINALLY, WE WILL RECEIVE ABOUT 2618 MORE DOLLARS IN CSA ADMINISTRATIVE FUNDS, BUT WE ARE REQUIRED TO MATCH THOSE. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO REDUCE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY BY A LITTLE OVER 3700 TO MAKE THAT NECESSARY INCREASE ALL TOTAL. THE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY WILL INCREASE BY $50,716.

FUNDS WOULD COVER OUR POLICE VEHICLE AND MAKE MANDATED INCREASES WITHIN CSA AND SALARY INCREASES TO EMPLOYEES IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICES.

THERE IS A AN ATTACHMENT THAT OUTLINES IT IN DETAIL, AND THERE IS A DRAFT RESOLUTION IN YOUR PACKET THAT OUTLINES ALL OF THE LINE ITEMS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

NO QUESTION, MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THIS RESOLUTION FOR THE APPROPRIATION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR 23 FROM THE STATE REVENUES OF 121 829.

I'LL SECOND IT. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. WEBB? YES.

THIS IS WAYMACK. YES, MR. HUNTER. YES.

MR. CARMICHAEL? YES. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

NOW YOU HAVE A NEXT ONE.

YES, MA'AM. THE NEXT ITEM IS WARD RECOMMENDED A WARD OF CONTRACT FOR AN ORGANIZATIONAL REVIEW AND STAFFING LEVEL STUDY.

MRS. WALTON PRESENTED THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE BOARD APPROVED IT THIS EVENING.

ONE OF THE STRATEGIC GOALS FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE WAS PROVIDING OR HAVING PERFORMED AN ORGANIZATIONAL REVIEW AND STAFFING LEVEL STUDY.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THAT STUDY WOULD BE DETERMINE TO DETERMINE IF THE COUNTY IS APPROPRIATELY STRUCTURED OR ORGANIZATIONAL CHART.

DUE TO MANY PEOPLE REPORT TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FOR EXAMPLE IS IS OUR SUPERVISORY AND DEPTH OF SUPERVISION APPROPRIATE. ADDITIONALLY, IT WOULD DETERMINE IF, BASED ON OUR CURRENT WORKLOAD AND OUR POPULATION GROWTH, IF OUR OFFICES AND DEPARTMENTS ARE ADEQUATELY STAFFED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE AND GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

WE DID ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS ON JUNE 14.

WE RECEIVED FOUR PROPOSALS BY THE JULY 12TH DUE DATE AND A COMMITTEE THAT CONSISTED OF MS..

HURTT, CHIEF EARLEY AND MS..

WAFF FROM OUR J.A.

REVIEWED THOSE PROPOSALS, AND WE INTERVIEWED THE TOP TWO.

THE TOP TWO PROPOSALS WERE MANAGING RESULTS.

THE COMPANY THAT PERFORMED YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND MATRIX.

WE INTERVIEWED THOSE TWO AND THE RECOMMENDATION WE HAVE IS TO AWARD THE CONTRACT TO MANAGING RESULTS.

THE COST OF THAT STUDY IS $189,050.

IT IS PRICEY.

HOWEVER, IT IS A GREAT GRANULAR LEVEL WORK WHERE THEY WOULD BE REVIEWING EACH OFFICE AND DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE COUNTY.

THE WORKLOAD AND THE THE JOB DUTIES, THE AND MEETING AND DETERMINING WHETHER STAFFING IS ADEQUATE AND STRUCTURE IS APPROPRIATE.

WE DID NOT BUDGET FOR THIS.

WE WERE STILL WORKING ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN AS YOU ADOPTED YOUR BUDGET.

SO IT WOULD BE A TRANSFER FROM GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY THAT WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE STUDY IF IT'S APPROVED.

I WILL TELL YOU, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE IN GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY.

[02:10:05]

YOU HAVE APPROVED SOME TRANSFERS, THE LARGEST BEING FOR THE SCHOOL BUS, ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT WAS APPROVED ON AUGUST THE NINTH.

WITH THE AMOUNT THAT YOU APPROVED TO INCREASE BASED ON STATE REVENUES, THE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY WOULD SIT AT 665, EIGHT 4550 PRIOR TO THIS.

IF THIS IS APPROVED, YOUR GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY WOULD GO TO $476,795.50.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.

YEAH, CERTAINLY.

GO AHEAD. HOW LONG IS THIS? CAN WE HOLD ON TO THIS PROPOSAL BEFORE IT EXPIRES? I BELIEVE THE PRICE IS GOOD FOR 90 DAYS.

HOWEVER, THE TIMELINE WAS AGGRESSIVELY PURSUED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE INFORMATION AND TIME TO MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, PERHAPS FOR THE FY 24 BUDGET.

THE MANAGING RESULTS WOULD PROPOSE TO DO THIS IN TWO PHASES.

PHASE ONE, THEY WOULD FOCUS ON A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS AND HAVE THAT WORK COMPLETE BY JANUARY ONE. THE REMAINING DEPARTMENTS WOULD BE COMPLETED BY APRIL ONE.

SO. SO AGAIN, IF IT'S TABLED OR DELAYED OR MOVE TO THE FUTURE, WE DO RUN THE RISK OF THEM NOT BEING AVAILABLE TO DO THE WORK ON THAT SAME TIMELINE AND OR HAVING THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR THE BUDGET.

SO I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT IT'S MOVED ONE MEETING OUT.

THAT WOULD BE A BIG IMPACT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE A CATASTROPHIC IMPACT.

THE REASON I ASK BECAUSE A LOT OF INFORMATION, A BIG PRICE TAG.

YES, SIR. AND WE DID APPROVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THIS WAS PART OF IT.

WE JUST WANT TO I PERSONALLY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT ALL THE NUMBERS.

AND ONE OF OUR COUNTERPARTS IS ABSENT.

AND YES, SIR, HE MADE WISHES THAT HE WAS NOT.

HE STILL HAD SOME QUESTIONS.

YES, SIR. OUT OF RESPECT FOR HIM? YES, SIR. NOT WORK IS.

BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

I STILL GOT THREE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE TO COMMENT AS WELL.

I SHARE SOME OF THE SAME. THIS IS AWFUL PRICEY.

THE QUESTION I GOT IS THE SECOND PHASE WILL NOT BE DONE IN TIME TO BE INCLUDED IN OUR UPCOMING BUDGET.

SO YOU ONLY ONLY HAVE PART OF IT DONE.

YES, SIR. BUT HOW MUCH? HOW MUCH IS EACH PHASE? THE PRICING PROPOSAL IS IN YOUR PACKET AND I PROBABLY DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO READ ALL THAT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

THE FIRST PHASE IS.

ON 93,007 75.

PHASE TWO IS 95000 TO 75.

50%? YES, SIR.

AND WHAT WAS THE NEXT CLOSEST BID? WELL, IT'S NOT A BID.

IT WAS A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS.

AND WE'RE TECHNICALLY NOT ALLOWED TO ASK FOR PRICING WHEN WE DO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

SO YOU PICK IT AND THEN THEY GIVE YOU THE.

CORRECT. CORRECT.

I GOTCHA. WELL, I AGREE WITH THE VENDOR.

I THINK THE VENDOR WORKED WITH US REALLY GREAT WHAT THEY DID ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

OKAY. GOING BACK TO WHAT MR. CARMICHAEL JUST MENTIONED, WHY ARE WE SITTING HERE GOING TO APPROVE THE WHOLE 189 IF WE KNOW WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE SECOND PHASE DONE BECAUSE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'RE PROJECTING THEY'LL HAVE THE FIRST PHASE DONE IN TIME FOR INCLUDING IN THEIR UPCOMING BUDGET.

THE SECOND PHASE WILL NOT BE DONE IN TIME.

BUT WE'LL STILL HAVE TO USE THE SAME VENDOR, I'M SURE.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, CAN'T WE? IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN YOU PULL THE MONEY.

CAN WE PAY THEM IN TWO SEPARATE BUDGETS? I GUESS. WE COULD ASK THAT QUESTION.

WE COULD ASK IF THEY WOULD HOLD PRICING FOR PHASE TWO TO THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR THEY WERE GIVEN.

YES, SIR. OR PROPOSAL, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.

YES, SIR. I STILL AGREE.

IF IT'S NOT GOING TO HURT, WE OUGHT TO DELAY IT TO THE NEXT MEETING BECAUSE WE GOT ONE BOARD MEMBER THAT HAD CONCERNS.

AND HE'S NOT HERE TO SPEAK FOR ME.

YES, SIR. THE TIMELINE WITH A TWO WEEK TIMELINE, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO TO DERAIL THE PROJECT.

NO, SIR, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME MORE.

NO, SIR. THAT WOULD GIVE ME MORE TIME TO LOOK AT THIS AND HAVE EVERYBODY PRESENT, LIKE YOU SAID, ASK FOR OTHER PRICES.

YES, SIR. JUST A COURTESY AS ALL.

SO DO I HAVE A MOTION TO POSTPONE? THIS NEXT MEETING IS ONE 2727.

[02:15:04]

I'LL SECOND IT. CALL THE ROLE, PLEASE.

MR. WEBB. YES.

MR. CARMICHAEL.

YES. MR. HUNTER.

YES. THIS IS WAYMACK.

YES. THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH ALL THE HARD WORK YOU ALL PUT IN.

WE AGREE WITH YOU. JUST.

YES, SIR. I AGREE.

IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I'M JUST HAPPY HOW WE DO IT.

ALL RIGHT. A8 AUTHORITY ADVERTISE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE APPROPRIATION OF CORONAVIRUS, STATE AND LOCAL RECOVERY FUNDS. MS..

DREWRY? YES, MA'AM.

THE COUNTY RECEIVED ITS SECOND TRANCHE OF AMERICAN RECOVERY FUNDS ON AUGUST THE 11TH, AND WE HAVE TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO APPROPRIATE THOSE FUNDS TO THE BUDGET BECAUSE THEY EXCEED 1% OF YOUR ADOPTED BUDGET.

SO I AM REQUESTING AUTHORITY TO ADVERTISE A PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER THE 11TH.

THERE IS AN ATTACHMENT IN YOUR HANDOUT.

THE DRAFT ARTICLE OR THE DRAFT ADVERTISEMENT IS ATTACHMENT A AND AN EXPENDITURE UPDATE ON ARPA FUNDING IS PROVIDED AS ATTACHMENT B IN YOUR PACKET.

AND. AND THERE IS.

WE HAVE EXPENDED $470,977.19 TO DATE.

AND MR. HALTOM, WITH HIS PUMP STATION REQUEST, 600,000 WOULD BE ALLOCATED OF THE 2.758 MILLION THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DESIGNATED FOR UTILITIES PROJECTS.

SO FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC HEARING, IF YOU HAVE APPROVED THE ADVERTISEMENT, WE WILL HAVE AN APPROPRIATION RESOLUTION THAT PLACES THE FUNDS IN THE APPROPRIATE BUDGET BUCKETS. MR. YOUNG IS STILL WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO GET A PROPOSAL FOR FIBER UPGRADES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY FACILITIES, AND WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT FOR YOU AT YOUR SECOND SEPTEMBER MEETING.

SO WE WOULD WE WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE USE OF ARPA FUNDING FOR THAT INITIATIVE.

IF IT IF IT IS APPROVED AS WELL.

VERY GOOD. SO YOU JUST NEED THE MOTION TONIGHT? YES, SIR. PUBLIC HEARING ON OCTOBER THE 11TH CIRCUIT.

THANK YOU. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. CARMICHAEL? YES, MR. HUNTER? YES. THIS IS WAYMACK.

YES, MR. WEBB. YES.

THAT'S ON OCTOBER THE 11TH.

YES, SIR. YES.

NEXT AUTHORITY TO ADVERTISE ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING? YES, MA'AM. IN 2019, THE BOARD BORROWED OF ISSUED BONDS AND THE AMOUNT OF 2.1 MILLION FOR STORMWATER PROJECTS. THAT DEBT FROM THE BOND ISSUANCE IS REPAID FOR THROUGH STORMWATER FEE COLLECTIONS.

THOSE FUNDS ARE APPROPRIATED IN MULTIPLE FISCAL YEARS AS THOSE PROJECTS SPAN MULTIPLE FISCAL YEARS, AND THE REMAINING PROCEEDS ON HAND AS OF JUNE 30TH OF 2022 IS $1,809,789.62.

SO TO AMEND THOSE BACK TO THE FY 23 BUDGET.

IT DOES NECESSITATE A PUBLIC HEARING BECAUSE IT EXCEEDS 1% OF YOUR ADOPTED BUDGET.

WHEN WE DO THE RESOLUTION FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC HEARING, I'M GOING TO PUT A CLAUSE IN THERE THAT THEY WOULD APPROPRIATE AUTOMATICALLY UNTIL FULLY EXPENDED IN THAT WAY. MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY YEAR.

GOOD FOR YOU. ALL RIGHT.

NOTICE YOU FINISH.

ANY QUESTIONS? I'M SORRY. NO.

OKAY. NOW I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I'LL TAKE IT. THANK YOU.

CALDERON MR. HUNTER? YES, MR. WAYMACK. YES, MR. WEBB. YES, MR. CARMICHAEL. YES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OUR FINAL 810 THE APPROPRIATION OF OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS.

DENISE WOLFE MS..

WAHL, THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

WAYMACK MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MR. STOKE. MR. WHITTEN.

I AM DENISE WHARFE AND I AM THE DIRECTOR OF RIVERSIDE CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCY.

I'M GOING TO PROVIDE YOU OF THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS AND THE ALLOWABLE USES OF.

ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT IS THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT? IT IS A LEGAL SETTLEMENT WITH THE COUNTRY'S THREE LARGEST WHOLESALE DRUG DISTRIBUTORS AND A MAJOR OPIOID MANUFACTURER IN RESPONSE TO THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC.

[02:20:04]

THE DRUGS LED TO THE OVERDOSE DEATHS OF MORE THAN 500,000 PEOPLE BETWEEN 2009 AND 2019, ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION.

30% OF SETTLEMENT FUNDS RECEIVED WILL BE ALLOCATED TO VIRGINIA CITIES AND COUNTIES, AND AT LEAST HALF OF THE FUNDS WILL BE SPENT ON COMMUNITY BASED OPIOID PREVENTION, TREATMENT AND RECOVERY EFFORTS.

THE AMOUNT EACH LOCALITY RECEIVES IS BASED ON SPECIFIC LOCAL METRICS, SUCH AS THE NUMBER OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, OVERDOSE DEATHS, AND THE VOLUME OF OPIOID PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THAT WERE RECEIVED IN EACH LOCALITY.

SO HOW DOES THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT IMPACT PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY? PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY JOINED THE SETTLEMENT ALLOCATION MOU WITH THE OFFICE OF THE VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL AND WILL RECEIVE DISTRIBUTIONS IN 2022 AND FOR THE NEXT 16 YEARS. PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY RECEIVED ITS FIRST DISTRIBUTION OF OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS ON JULY 29, 2022, AND THE AMOUNT OF $14,272.89 WITH TWO ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS EXPECTED AT THE TIME OF PREPARING THIS PRESENTATION, WE WERE NOT SURE OF THE AMOUNTS OF THOSE TWO SUBSEQUENT PAYMENTS.

HOWEVER, AS OF LATE FRIDAY, WE LEARNED THAT PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY WILL RECEIVE PAYMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $15,000.11 AND $57,140.71 IN LATE SEPTEMBER.

PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY FINANCE HAS ESTABLISHED A NEW SPECIAL REVENUE FUND TO ACCOUNT FOR THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDANCE RECEIVED FROM THE VIRGINIA AUDITOR OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

SO HOW CAN LOCALITIES USE OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS? GUIDANCE IN THE FORM OF A 15 PAGE LIST OF REMEDIATION USES HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO LOCALITIES.

WHAT THIS GUIDANCE SAYS IS THAT PRIORITY SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE FOLLOWING ABATEMENT STRATEGIES.

DISTRIBUTION OF NALOXONE, ALSO KNOWN BY ITS BRAND NAME NARCAN, OR OTHER FDA APPROVED DRUGS TO REVERSE OPIOID OVERDOSES.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MAT DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER OPIOID RELATED TREATMENT.

PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN TREATMENT FOR NEONATAL ABSTINENCE.

ABSTINENCE SYNDROME FOR BABIES EXPOSED TO OPIATES WHILE IN THE MOTHER'S WOMB.

EXPANSION OF WARM HANDOFF PROGRAMS BY CREATING SMOOTHER TRANSITIONS FROM ONE TREATMENT PROVIDER TO THE NEXT.

TREATMENT FOR INCARCERATED POPULATIONS AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS. THE GUIDANCE LISTS THREE MAJOR OPIOID ABATEMENT AREAS, INCLUDING TREATMENT, PREVENTION AND OTHER STRATEGIES.

THE FIRST AREA IS TREATMENT.

TREATMENT OF OPIOID USE DISORDER.

SUPPORT TO PEOPLE IN TREATMENT AND RECOVERY.

CONNECTIONS TO CARE, MEANING MATCHING THOSE IN NEED WITH THE CORRECT RESOURCES.

ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE INVOLVED PERSONS, AND ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF PREGNANT OR PARENTING WOMEN, INCLUDING, AS MENTIONED BEFORE, BABIES WITH NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME.

THE SECOND AREA IS PREVENTION PREVENTION OF OVERPRESCRIBING OPIOIDS, PREVENTION OF MISUSE OF OPIOIDS, AND PREVENTION OF OVERDOSE OVERDOSE DEATHS, AND THE INCREASE OF HARM REDUCTION. THE LAST AREA INCLUDES OTHER STRATEGIES, SUCH AS WORKING WITH FIRST RESPONDERS, FOR EXAMPLE, MAKING SURE THEY'RE FULLY EQUIPPED TO WORK THE FRONT LINES OF THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC.

LEADERSHIP PLANNING AND COORDINATION.

SO SYSTEMIC PERSPECTIVE HOW COMMUNITIES CAN BEST FIGHT THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC.

AND LASTLY, TRAINING AND RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

RIVERSIDE CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCY, WHICH SERVES PRINCE GEORGE, SURREY AND HOPEWELL, HAS REACHED OUT TO OUR OTHER TWO LOCALITIES TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS INTEREST IN POOLING FUNDS FROM ALL THREE LOCALITIES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A LARGER IMPACT TO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

COUNTY AND CITY LEADERSHIP IS CURRENTLY DISCUSSING THIS WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE BOARD AND COUNCIL, AND PRINCE GEORGE HAS OFFERED TO SERVE AS THE FISCAL AGENCY.

IF AGREED, OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY WILL ASSIST IN CREATING AN MOU FOR BOARD AND COUNCIL APPROVAL FROM THE THREE LOCALITIES.

TO DATE, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM HOPEWELL.

HOWEVER, SURREY HAS AUTHORIZED PRINCE GEORGE TO SUBMIT AN MOU FOR THEIR REVIEW AT THEIR MOST RECENT BOARD MEETING.

RIVERSIDE CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCY HAS SOUGHT INPUT FROM OUR COMMUNITY CRIMINAL JUSTICE BOARD ON HOW TO BEST UTILIZE THESE FUNDS.

AND AS YOU MAY RECALL, OUR BOARD'S MEMBERSHIP IS COMPRISED OF JUDGES, PROSECUTORS, DEFENSE ATTORNEYS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TREATMENT PROVIDERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS THAT REPRESENT ALL THREE OF OUR LOCALITIES.

SO UNTIL USES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED, STAFF IS REQUESTING THE EXPENDITURE APPROPRIATION BE PLACED IN AN OPIOID FUND CONTINGENCY EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT.

[02:25:12]

WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU APPROVE APPROPRIATION OF THE FIRST OPIOID SETTLEMENT PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $14,272.89.

A DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR BUDGET AMENDMENT AND APPROPRIATION IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION AND NEXT TO APPROVE THE SUBSEQUENT APPROPRIATIONS OF THE SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL FUNDS ARE FULLY EXPENDED FOR BOTH THE CURRENT YEAR AND FOR FUTURE YEARS.

UNDER ACTION REQUESTED IF I CAN INTERRUPT YOU.

YES, SIR. THE RESOLUTION ONLY TALKS ABOUT THE 14 TO 72.

IT DOESN'T TALK ABOUT THE.

SUBSEQUENT. YOU KNOW, MONEY'S BEING ADOPTED INTO THIS.

DID YOU WANT TO ADD THAT TO THE NUMBERS FRIDAY? ACTUALLY, WE'LL PROBABLY WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE MONEY, THE PAYMENTS.

I WAS WAITING FOR MY NEXT SLIDE.

WE WILL ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE PAYMENTS LATE SEPTEMBER AND SO WE WILL COME BEFORE THE BOARD AT THAT POINT AND MAYBE WE'LL KNOW SOMETHING FROM YOU.

YES, SIR. AND HOPE.

WELL, YES, SIR.

YEAH. THANK YOU. I DIDN'T MEAN TO JUMP AHEAD.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. SO OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS FUTURE UPDATE STAFF WILL PROVIDE FUTURE BOARD UPDATES ONCE FEEDBACK IS RECEIVED FROM SURREY AND HOPEWELL ABOUT POOLING THOSE FUNDS AND THEN AN APPROVAL.

ONCE STAFF HAS RECEIVED STAKEHOLDER INPUT AND HAS RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE MOST EFFECTIVE USE OF THE FUNDS.

AND LASTLY, AS MENTIONED, THE APPROPRIATION FOR TWO ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS OF $15,000.11 AND $57,140.71 TO BE RECEIVED.

LATE SEPTEMBER WILL BE ON A FUTURE AGENDA.

SORRY. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

SO YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN POSSIBLY TAKE MONEY OUT OF THIS ACCOUNT AND SPEND IT, CORRECT? YOUR DEPARTMENT? NOT NECESSARILY.

THE MONEY HAS COME TO PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY.

MR. STOKE AND MR. MURRAY AND I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT POTENTIALLY HOW TO BEST EXTEND THE FOR THE NARCAN THAT THE POLICE OFFICERS AND THE EMS USES OUT ON THE STREET TODAY.

THAT WOULD HELP PAY FOR THAT POTENTIAL.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANKS. SO YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T.

THE REGULATIONS INDICATE THAT WE REALLY SHOULDN'T USE THE FUND TO SUPPLANT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALREADY PURCHASING.

THAT'S CORRECT. MR. HUNTER, JUST TELL ME WHO PAYS FOR THAT.

YEP. WELL, GOOD.

SO YOU NEED YOU NEED THE RESOLUTION TONIGHT TO APPROPRIATE THE INITIAL 14,000.

YES, MA'AM. ABSOLUTELY.

AND I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. HUNTER? YES, MRS. WAYMACK? YES.

MR. WEBB. YES, MR. CARMICHAEL. YES, MR. BRYANT. MR. BROWN IS ABSENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO GOOD EVENING. ALL RIGHT.

I THINK THAT CONCLUDES OUR BUSINESS FOR TONIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? REMOVED, DONALD? NOW, SECOND EITHER WAY.

A SECOND. FLIP A COIN.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MRS. WAYMACK? YES.

MR. WEBB? YES.

MR. CARMICHAEL.

MR. HUNTER. YES, OK.

THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT.
