Nov 22, 2022 Regular Meeting

[CALL TO ORDER ]

[00:00:02]

GOOD EVENING.

THIS IS NOVEMBER THE 22ND, 2022, AND IT IS 6:00.

AND I CALL A MEETING OF THE PRINCE GEORGE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO ORDER PRINCE GEORGE, VIRGINIA, NOT PRINCE GEORGE, MARYLAND.

MM HMM. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MRS. WAYMACK HERE, MR. HUNTER. MR. BROWN. HERE.

MR. CARMICHAEL HERE.

MR. WEBB. HERE.

[WORK SESSION ]

BOARD MEMBERS. MR. STOKE.

MR. WHITTEN, I HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING WELL.

THE GARAGE EXPANSION, FIRST OF ALL, IS TAKING SHAPE, AND IT'S COMING ALONG NICELY.

IT'S EXCITING TO SEE IT COMING TOGETHER AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMPLETION AND MOVING FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE WITH IT.

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE SUPPORT AND MAKING IT HAPPEN.

THERE'S BEEN SOME TALK FLOATING AROUND ABOUT FUEL SITES REGARDING SECURITY AND USAGE AND CONSUMPTION.

SO WE WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU THE ASSET WORKS FUEL FOCUS MODULE.

THE FUEL FOCUS MODULE IS A SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH FLEET FOCUS, THE FLEET MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE THAT WE IMPLEMENTED EARLIER THIS YEAR.

FEEL FREE TO STOP ME AT ANY TIME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

20 POINT. THERE WILL BE AT THE END BY NOW.

IT'S GOT A MIND EVERY TIME YOU PUT IT IN BACKWARDS.

IT WOULD ADD.

THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S ONLY A COUPLE OF.

PROBLEM WHEN I'M DOING MY.

OKAY. CURRENTLY, THE COUNTY HAS EIGHT FUEL SITES.

THERE'S ONE MAIN SITE AT THE COUNTY COMPLEX.

SEVEN SITES AT THE FIRE STATION.

COMPANY ONE DOES NOT HAVE A FUEL SITE AT THE COUNTY COMPLEX SITE.

WE HAVE A READER AT THE PUMP THAT REQUIRES A MAGNETIC STRIPE CARD THAT'S BASICALLY LIKE A CREDIT CARD THAT'S ASSIGNED TO EACH VEHICLE.

REQUIRES A PIN NUMBER AND THE DRIVER THAT'S FUELING THE VEHICLE MUST MANUALLY ENTER THEIR MILEAGE.

INCORRECT MILEAGE ENTRY IF THE DRIVER IS TO ENTER INCORRECTLY, WILL DISABLE THE FUELING SYSTEM AND THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET FUEL UNTIL THEY COME IN TO FLEET AND HAVE US RESET THE MILEAGE. VERIFY THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE.

AT THE FIRE AND EMS STATIONS.

THEY ONLY HAVE A HANDWRITTEN USAGE LOG WHEN THEY FUEL THE VEHICLE.

THEY ARE FILLING OUT A SHEET OF PAPER WITH THE UNIT NUMBER AND THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE THAT THEY FUELED AND HOW MANY GALLONS? IT'S BASICALLY AN HONESTY AND INTEGRITY SYSTEM.

ANYBODY OUTSIDE OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COULD ACCESS THOSE FUEL PUMPS BECAUSE AS YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRESENTATION, THERE ARE ONLY SECURED BY A PADLOCK.

PADLOCKS CAN EASILY BE CUT OFF BY ANYBODY THAT HAS ILL INTENT.

SINCE THIS IS ALL PAPER, THE MILEAGE IS WRITTEN ON A NOTEPAD.

IT IS NOT ENTERED INTO ANY COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM, VERIFIED IN ANY KIND OF WAY.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS, EACH INDIVIDUAL STATION, MUST REPORT THEIR MILEAGE MONTHLY TO US AT FLEET MANAGEMENT TO UPDATE THE SYSTEM MANUALLY EVERY MONTH.

WHILE ASSET WORKS, FUEL FOCUS.

ASSET WORKS. FUEL FOCUS IS CURRENTLY EXCUSE ME AS IT WORKS.

FLEET FOCUS IS CURRENTLY USED FOR SHOP OPERATIONS AND ASSET MANAGEMENT.

INTEGRATION BETWEEN FLEET FOCUS AND FUEL FOCUS WOULD ELIMINATE HUMAN ERROR BY AUTOMATING THE SYSTEM.

IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY READ THE VEHICLE INFORMATION AND MILEAGE FROM THE VEHICLE.

THERE'S LITERALLY TECHNICALLY NO HUMAN INTERACTION OTHER THAN STICKING THE NOZZLE IN THE VEHICLE AND TURNING THE PUMP ON.

IT'S MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE ACCURATE.

AND WHEN THE DRIVER IS FUELING THEIR VEHICLE, IF THEY ARE DUE FOR MAINTENANCE SOON OR PAST DUE, IT WILL NOTIFY THEM THAT THEY NEED TO CALL US AND GET THEIR VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.

IT ALSO KEEPS TRACK AND ONE SINGLE DATABASE AND TRACKS LIFECYCLE AND OVERALL VEHICLE COSTS.

[00:05:05]

IT'S FOR THAT VEHICLE AND THAT VEHICLE ONLY.

IT CANNOT BE TAKEN OFF.

IT VALIDATES AND UPDATES THE MEDIA RATINGS IN REAL TIME.

AS SOON AS THE EMPLOYEE FEELS THE VEHICLE, AS SOON AS THEY ARE FINISHED AND HANG THE NOZZLE UP.

THAT INFORMATION IS ENTERED INTO THE SYSTEM.

AND INVENTORY CONTROL, WHICH WILL BENEFIT AT THE FIRE STATIONS FOR BUILDING THE GROUNDS, TRACKING THE FUEL USAGE AND LEVELS AT THE FIRE STATIONS.

CURRENTLY, THEY ARE HAVING TO GO BY EACH FIRE STATION AND MANUALLY STICK EACH TANK ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK TO HAVE AN ACCURATE FUEL RATING LEVEL.

OUR PREVIOUS VENDOR AND OUR CURRENT FUEL VENDOR IS WORKING TO RE INSTALL.

THE MODEMS TO WHERE WE CAN REMOTELY LOOK THROUGH AN EMAIL THAT SENT DAILY FROM THE VENDOR.

BUT THAT'S THE ONLY, ONLY WAY WE HAVE TO MONITOR THOSE LEVELS.

THIS SYSTEM WILL MONITOR THOSE LEVELS THAT CAN BE LOOKED AT AT ANY TIME AND GIVE LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNINGS.

IT WILL ALSO REPORT EXCESSIVE USAGE.

THE SYSTEM WILL DO ITS CALCULATIONS AND HISTORY MONITORING.

AND IF IT FEELS THAT A VEHICLE IS USING EXCESSIVE FUEL, IT WILL THROW A RED FLAG AND NOTIFY US.

THE SWIPE CARDS WITH THE CURRENT SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE HERE AT FLEET, IF FUEL CARD IS LOST, THAT CARD NUMBER CANNOT BE USED AGAIN, WHICH IS THE SAME NUMBER AS A VEHICLE NUMBER. THEREFORE, WE WILL HAVE TO RE NUMBER A VEHICLE OR GIVE IT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NUMBER.

BUT THE CARD IS STILL GOOD.

WE WILL HAVE TO DISABLE THAT ENTIRE CARD AND THAT NUMBER CANNOT BE REUSED AGAIN.

THE TRANSPONDER THAT WILL GO ON THE VEHICLES WITH THE NEW SYSTEM, WITH FLEET FOCUS, FUEL FOCUS.

IS TAMPER RESISTANT.

IF IT'S ATTEMPTED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE, IT'S RENDERED INOPERABLE.

YOU CANNOT REMOVE IT FROM A VEHICLE AND PUT IT ON ANOTHER VEHICLE AND GET FUEL.

IT CANNOT BE USED ON OTHER VEHICLES OR CONTAINERS.

ONCE YOU STICK THE NOZZLE IN THE TANK, THE NOZZLE HAS TO STAY WITHIN A CERTAIN DISTANCE, WITHIN INCHES OR MILLIMETERS OF THE VEHICLE.

YOU CANNOT STICK THE NOZZLE IN THE TANK, ACTIVATE THE PUMP, AND THEN REMOVE IT FROM THE VEHICLE AND FUEL ANOTHER CONTAINER.

IT WON'T WORK. THE TRANSPONDER ALSO READS DIAGNOSTIC CODES BY COMMUNICATING WITH THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTERIZED MULTIPLEXING SYSTEM.

WE CAN READ TROUBLE CODES.

IT'LL THROW US A FLAG IF A POLICE OFFICER IS ON SHIFTING DUTY ONE NIGHT AND ITS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, IT WILL NOTIFY US THE NEXT MORNING AS SOON AS WE LOG INTO THE SYSTEM THAT THIS OFFICER'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON, WE CAN REACH OUT TO HIM AND MAKE SURE HE GETS THE VEHICLE TO US SO WE CAN CHECK IT OUT AND MAKE SURE IT'S NOT DETRIMENTAL OR SAFETY ISSUE.

THERE'S LESS OPPORTUNITY FOR HUMAN ERROR.

BASICALLY, IT'S STICK THE NOZZLE IN THE TANK AND TURN IT ON.

THAT'S ALL THEY HAVE TO DO.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WE CAN REQUIRE.

AND EMPLOYEE ID NUMBER OR PIN NUMBER BE ENTERED TO IDENTIFY THE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS FUELING THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE.

SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTION AS TO WHY THIS VEHICLE WAS FUELED WITH THAT AMOUNT OF FUEL ON ANY GIVEN DATE AND TIME, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO FILLED THE VEHICLE.

AND IT ELIMINATES THE SECURITY I'M SORRY, THE SECURITY OF FUEL, AND IT ELIMINATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MISUSE AGAIN.

THE FUEL PUMPS AREN'T VERY SECURE AS THEY ARE AT THE FIRE STATIONS.

ANYBODY COULD, UNFORTUNATELY.

GOT A PADLOCK AND.

EVIL INTENT. THE COST, THE FUEL FOR FOCUS, HARDWARE AND SERVICES TOTAL.

THE THE NUMBER IS ACCURATE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF VEHICLE KITS QUOTED.

WE DID GO A LITTLE HIGH ON THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT WE HAVE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE COVERED AND TO COVER ANY VEHICLES THAT MAY BE ADDED TO THE FLEET IN THE FUTURE.

THAT NUMBER COMES IN AT $271,563.

THE SITE READY SERVICES IS JUST AN ESTIMATE.

THIS WAS PROVIDED BY ASSET WORKS AS STRICTLY AN ESTIMATE FOR A THIRD PARTY TO COME OUT AND MAKE SITE PREP SITE SITE PREPARATIONS AT EACH FIRE DEPARTMENT SITE. THIS NUMBER IS AN ESTIMATE.

IT'S NOT ACCURATE.

IT WAS JUST A GUESS FOR WORST CASE SCENARIO, IF POWER NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED, CONDUIT, RUN ANY CABLING THAT NEEDED TO BE RUN UNDERGROUND.

THAT NUMBER WILL MOST LIKELY BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN TO 123 TO 200000 TO OVERALL THE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR THIS SYSTEM. WE'RE LOOKING AT $394,763.

SO THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.

FEEL FREE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

MR. WEBB, BASED ON WHAT I'M READING HERE, THIS WILL ALSO HELP YOU WITH LEVELING YOUR PALMS AS FAR AS SPREADING THE VEHICLES OUT ARE GETTING THEM IN IN TIME SO THEY'RE NOT

[00:10:02]

CORRECT READING AND DIAGNOSTIC.

IT WILL ENSURE TO THE THE OPERATORS OF THE VEHICLES THAT THEY NEED TO BRING THEIR VEHICLE.

AND IT IS DUE FOR A SERVICE.

IT WILL ALSO NOTIFY US SO THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO THEM AND MAKE SURE WE GET THE VEHICLES IN ON TIME ONCE THEY ARE PLACED IN THE PROPER SCHEDULE THAT WE DESIRE AND IS THAT IT WOULD ALSO BE REPUTABLE FOR WARRANTY WORK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT SINCE WE'RE WE GOT ALL THE DIAGNOSTICS AND WE CAN SIT HERE AND PROVE THAT HEY WE'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE AND SERVICES, WHAT'S GOING ON? AND THIS IS WHAT'S BEING INDICATED, CORRECT.

IT WILL SHOW US THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE HISTORY.

YIGAL AND JEWS WILL PROBABLY BE OFF SOMETHING, WOULDN'T IT? YOU CAN'T TRACK THE LAWNMOWERS FOR.

FOR FOR SMALL EQUIPMENT, LAWNMOWERS AND SUCH.

YES. THAT GENERATORS ON THE FIRE TRUCKS AND ALL THE GAS CANS THAT WILL BE FULL, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TRACK ALL THAT.

CORRECT. SO YOU'LL BE OFF SOME.

WE'LL BE OFF SOME.

WE WILL KNOW THAT THIS GAS CAN WAS FILLED.

SOMEBODY RECEIVED FUEL.

THERE'S A SEPARATE CHIP THAT CAN BE PLACED ON THOSE CANS.

CORRECT. MOST OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS, AS FAR AS I KNOW, IN THEIR CHAINSAWS AND EQUIPMENT, USE TRUE FUEL.

SO THEY DON'T EVEN USE THE FUEL FROM THE FUEL SITES ACCOUNT TO PROVIDE AND STAY AWAY FROM THE ETHANOL.

YES. I KNOW IT'LL BE A REAL ADVANTAGE TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IF THEY'RE DOWN AND BURNSVILLE OR CARSON IN NEED GAS, THEY HAVE TO COME BACK HERE TO GET IT RATHER THAN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET IT DOWN THERE.

ONE OF THOSE FIRE STATIONS, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. ANY COUNTY VEHICLE THAT WE ALLOW.

WE CAN ALLOW CERTAIN VEHICLES, JUST POLICE DEPARTMENT, IF THAT'S WHAT'S DESIRED.

YOU FUEL AT ANY AT ANY FIRE STATION, CORRECT.

THAT WILL HELP, ESPECIALLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WHEN WE GET A BAD SNOWSTORM AND THE OFFICERS STATIONED IN CARSON WON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL IN THE WEATHER ALL THE WAY HERE TO REFUEL. AND WE CAN ALLOW IT AT CERTAIN TIMES AS WELL.

SO BASED ON YOUR PRESENTATION.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE FOR US TO CONSIDER AS PART OF OUR UPCOMING BUDGET DISCUSSIONS FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR? FOR THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE? YES.

YES, SIR. I THINK IT'S GREAT.

I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

IF I WROTE. JUST GOT TO THE LADY TO YOUR LEFT.

I'LL HELP MAKE THE NUMBERS WORK.

I'M TRYING TO SCHMOOZE UP TO HER.

YEAH. ONE OF OTHER ROLES, AND I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A HAVE A PRESENTATION ON SOME SOME FUNDS.

CORRECT. THAT MAY BE ABLE TO BE APPROPRIATED TO THIS.

YES. YEAH. DOES PAY FOR PART OF IT.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU. OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS GENERAL FUND REVENUE OVERVIEW AND FUNDING STREAMS. THIS IS DREWRY.

YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING, CHAIR.

WAYMACK BOARD MEMBERS.

MR. STOKE AND MR. WHITTEN. I'M HERE THIS EVENING TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF FY 24 PRELIMINARY GENERAL FUND REVENUE PROJECTIONS, AS WELL AS TO TALK ABOUT SOME FUNDING STREAMS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE OR HAVE IN PLACE FOR SOME CAPITAL PROJECTS AND PURCHASES THAT HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSION OR WILL BE IN DISCUSSION SHORTLY.

SO FIRST TOPIC IS PRELIMINARY FY 24 GENERAL FUND REVENUES.

THIS IS ACTUALLY IN YOUR PACKET AS ATTACHMENT B FOR AGENDA ITEM A FIVE.

TAB NINE PROVIDES SOME OF THIS INFORMATION.

SO THE BOARD RECEIVED COMPARISON SALARY INFORMATION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYEES AT THE NOVEMBER 9TH BOARD MEETING.

THERE WAS A REQUEST TO INCREASE PAY AND SALARIES FOR POLICE OFFICERS AND FIRE AND EMS DIRECT RESPONSE PERSONNEL.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY ONE OF THIS YEAR.

THE PARTIAL HALF YEAR COST FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR IS $361,225, AND THE FULL YEAR ANNUALIZED COST IS $722,450 FOR FOR FY 24 AND FUTURE YEARS.

THE BOARD DID ASK FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REVENUE PROJECTIONS TO KNOW IF THAT REQUEST WAS AFFORDABLE IN THE UPCOMING BUDGET YEAR AND BEYOND.

[00:15:06]

SO REAL ESTATE, OF COURSE, IS THE LARGEST SOURCE OF GENERAL FUND REVENUE.

AND THIS CURRENT YEAR BUDGET, IT REPRESENTS ABOUT 41 AND ONE HALF PERCENT OF GENERAL FUND REVENUES.

THE ASSESSOR, MR. GARDNER, DID PROVIDE SOME PRELIMINARY INFORMATION ON NOVEMBER 4TH ABOUT THE JANUARY ONE ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS WHAT IS USED TO BUDGET FOR FY 24 FOR REAL ESTATE.

THE REAL ESTATE REVENUES ARE PROJECTED OR TAXABLE REAL ESTATE IS PROJECTED TO GROW BY 6.74%.

AND THAT, OF COURSE, DOES KEEP THE TAX RATE AT $0.82 PER $100 OF ASSESSED VALUE.

MR. GARDNER DID PROVIDE A ROUGH ESTIMATE OR AN ESTIMATE OF NEW CONSTRUCTION, BUT ONLY THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH.

NEW CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTS ABOUT 0.23% OF THAT GROWTH.

SO THEREFORE THE REASSESSED VALUE IS ABOUT SIX AND ONE HALF PERCENT HIGHER.

OKAY. SO AGAIN, PROJECTED OUR REAL ESTATE TAX REVENUE INCREASE FOR FY 24 OVER THE CURRENT YEAR IS ABOUT 1.879 MILLION.

THIS DOES CONSIDER THE PERCENT WE CONSIDER COLLECTIBLE AND REDUCES FOR ANY TAX RELIEF FOR DISABLED VETERANS THAT THAT IS PUT IN PLACE.

THE VALUE OF THE PENNY WOULD GROW BY 21,000.

THIS YEAR IT'S 348 AND IT WOULD INCREASE TO 369,000.

SO THEREFORE, WE WOULD HAVE INCREASES IN OUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR YOUR ORDINANCES TO BOTH FIRE APPARATUS AND FIRE AND EMS EQUIPMENT.

THE THREE PENNIES THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE DEVOTED.

AND OF COURSE, THAT GROWTH IN REVENUE DOES MEAN THAT YOU COULD NOT EQUALIZE OR THAT YOU WOULD HAVE AN EFFECTIVE INCREASE OF ABOUT SIX AND A HALF PERCENT.

OF COURSE, THOSE NUMBERS WOULD BE FINE TUNED WHEN MR. GARDNER GIVES US HIS OFFICIAL BUDGET PROJECTIONS AND ESTIMATES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR.

QUESTIONS OR REAL ESTATE BEFORE WE MOVE INTO SOME OTHER HIGHLIGHTS.

SO SOME ASSUMPTIONS WERE MADE AS WE PROJECTED FY 24 GENERAL FUND REVENUES.

AT THIS POINT, WE LEFT PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES AT THE SAME LEVEL THEY ARE TODAY, OR FLAT WITH NO INCREASE IN JANUARY IS THE EARLIEST THAT THE COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE CAN PROVIDE ESTIMATES ON WHAT VALUES MIGHT BE ACTUALLY FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR.

BILLING REAL ESTATE IS DIFFERENT THAN PERSONAL PROPERTY.

WE ARE ACTUALLY ESTIMATING FOR CURRENT YEAR VALUES THAT WE WILL BILL OUT.

THAT'S DUE JUNE 5TH OF 2023.

AND FROM THERE WE PROJECT WHAT WE THINK THEY WILL BE A YEAR FROM THEN, WHICH IS A TASK.

SO WE USED PRIOR YEAR ACTUAL COLLECTIONS MORE THAN CURRENT YEAR TREND BECAUSE OF COURSE ONLY TREND IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OCTOBER 31ST. WE ESTIMATED BE POLL BUSINESS AND OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE TAXES AT 80% OF FY 22 COLLECTIONS.

THIS CURRENT YEAR IS BASED ON TAX RETURNS THAT ARE FILED IN JANUARY FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2022.

SO AGAIN, TO BE CONSERVATIVE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ECONOMY MIGHT DO IN 2023, WE DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO BE CONSERVATIVE.

SOCIAL SERVICES AND OTHER FEDERAL REVENUES HAVE BEEN LEFT AT CURRENT YEAR LEVELS AND WE ARE GOING TO USE THE SAME SCHOOL REVENUE SHARING PERCENTAGE THAT'S IN PLACE FOR THIS YEAR BECAUSE THE FALL MEMBERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN PUBLISHED ON THE DOE WEBSITE, NOR HAVE WE GOTTEN WELD AND COOPER ESTIMATES THAT USUALLY COME OUT IN MID TO LATE JANUARY FOR OUR POPULATION.

SO USING ALL OF THOSE ASSUMPTIONS, WE ARE PROJECTED TO GROW BY 2.1 MILLION.

AND THAT OF COURSE IS BEING CONSERVATIVE AND IT IS LEAVING PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX FLAT.

SO ABOUT A 3% CHANGE OVERALL IN THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET.

SO AGAIN, JUST TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT SOME LINE ITEMS ARE, AGAIN, THE REAL ESTATE, ABOUT 1.88 MILLION LEAVING PERSONAL PROPERTY AND SALES TAX LEVEL.

A MOBILE HOMES TAX, A SLIGHT INCREASE, TAXES ON RECREATIONS AND WILLS.

[00:20:02]

BE POLL TAXES AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN CONSERVATIVE, SO EVEN THOUGH WE ARE BUDGETING AT 80% OF FY 22 COLLECTIONS, THERE'S STILL AN INCREASE.

PERMITS AND PLANNING FEES.

WE ARE BEING CONSERVATIVE BUDGETING OR ESTIMATING A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN LAST YEAR'S COLLECTIONS.

THE GENERAL FUND PORTION OF LODGING TAX LODGING TAX IS HEALTHY.

WE ARE WE SEE WE CAN INCREASE THAT BY ABOUT 63,000.

MACHINERY AND TOOLS TAX ESSENTIALLY FLAT BUT A SMALL INCREASE.

HOUSE BILL 599.

OUR STATE REVENUES THAT WE RECEIVE THROUGH CJS FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, WE ARE BUDGETING THOSE AT ACTUALLY CURRENT YEAR ACTUAL WE DON'T TYPICALLY KNOW THOSE UNTIL LATE SUMMER, SO WE'RE NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO INCORPORATE THE INCREASE IN OUR ADOPTED BUDGET.

P SAP WIRELESS PAYMENTS, WE CAN INCREASE THOSE SLIGHTLY AS WELL AS RECREATION AND EMS, TRANSPORT FEES, ADMIN ON DELINQUENT TAXES.

WE THINK WE CAN INCREASE THAT BASED ON PRIOR YEAR COLLECTIONS AND DELINQUENT TAXES WE NEED TO REDUCE.

BASED ON OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH TAX.

THEY HAVE COLLECTED A GREAT AMOUNT OF TAXES THAT WERE IN ARREARS, BUT BASED ON THE LAST TWO YEARS OF ACTUALS, WE PROBABLY DO NEED TO BACK OFF ON THOSE. SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOUR ACTIVE GRANTS.

THREE OF THE FOUR ACTUALLY EXPIRE THIS YEAR.

SO THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO REAPPLY, BUT WE WANT TO ELIMINATE THOSE TO BE CONSERVATIVE IN THE EVENT WE ARE NOT AWARDED THOSE FUNDS IF WE APPLY.

STATE COMMUNICATIONS TAX.

WE ALSO NEED TO DIAL THAT BACK AS WELL AS INTEREST REVENUE.

WE HAVE ONE PARTICULAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO THAT IS DOING VERY POORLY, AND I HAVE TALKED WITH THE TREASURER WHO HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THAT INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO AND WE HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSION ABOUT DOING THAT.

MOST OF OUR OTHER INVESTMENTS ARE DOING VERY WELL, BUT THERE IS ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT WE NEED TO ADJUST.

SO AS YOU KNOW, WE DO SHARE CERTAIN REVENUE STREAMS WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

WE SHARE OUR REAL ESTATE TAX REVENUE AS WELL AS PERSONAL PROPERTY AND TRA.

THE STAY SUPPLEMENT THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED WHEN GOVERNOR GILMORE WAS IN OFFICE.

LOCAL SALE AND USE TAX CONSUMER UTILITY TAXES AND MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSE FEES WHICH YOU DID TAKE ACTION TO ELIMINATE FOR FY 22 ACTUALLY AND CONTINUING INTO 23.

SO BASED ON THOSE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES, WE THOSE REVENUE STREAMS ARE INCREASING BY 1,869,000.

WE CARVE OUT THE PORTION RELATED TO THE THREE PENNIES THAT YOU DEVOTE TO FIRE APPARATUS AND FIRE AND MASS EQUIPMENT.

SO WE WOULD NEED TO CARVE OUT AN ADDITIONAL 63,000, WHICH MEANS OF THAT 1.86 MILLION THAT WE SHARE, 725,006 71 WOULD GO TO THE SCHOOLS AS AN INCREASED TRANSFER.

SO AGAIN, TOTAL REVENUES ABOUT 2.1.

OF WHICH 725 726 GOES TO SCHOOLS.

AND OF COURSE, IF WE ARE ABLE TO INCREASE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES AND SALES TAX, THE SCHOOL DIVISION WILL GET THEIR PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THAT INCREASE AS WELL. SO IN SUMMARY, JUST A FEW HIGH LEVEL THINGS, PRELIMINARY PROJECTED REVENUES OR AGAIN, 12.

1,725,000 OF THAT WOULD GO TO SCHOOLS, 63,000 WOULD GO INTO YOUR APPARATUS AND FIRE AND EMS EQUIPMENT FUND, WHICH LEAVES 1.33 AVAILABLE FOR USE.

THE PUBLIC SAFETY SALARY INCREASE, THE FULL YEAR ESTIMATE IS 722,000.

AS THE BOARD IS AWARE.

OUR PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO SYSTEM, WHICH WHILE I WILL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE ON SOME UPCOMING SLIDES, IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE BY ABOUT 392,000.

THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE OTHER FUNDING SOURCES TO PAY FOR THAT, AT LEAST FOR YEAR ONE.

AND THEN WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE HIT WITH AN INCREASE IN OUR AT&T NEXT GEN 911 BILL, OUR MONTHLY BILL THAT

[00:25:07]

VTM IS CURRENTLY PROVIDING SOME DELTA FUNDS AND THIS IS THE LAST YEAR THEY WILL PROVIDE THOSE.

SO AGAIN, THE REMAINING REVENUE GROWTH IS ABOUT 153,000.

IF YOU WERE TO USE OTHER AVAILABLE FUNDING SOURCES FOR THAT PUBLIC SAFETY YEAR ONE MAINTENANCE, ABOUT 550,000 IS AVAILABLE FOR OTHER GENERAL FUND INITIATIVES.

YOU ALSO ADOPTED CONTINGENCY AT 725,000 AND F Y 23.

THE NORM HAS BEEN ABOUT 300 TO 400000.

SO POTENTIALLY THE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY COULD BE REDUCED TO USE FOR OTHER GENERAL FUND NEEDS.

SO AGAIN, THIS IS THE MAIN DECISION POINT FOR THE REQUESTED PUBLIC SAFETY INCREASE.

AND THE HOPE IS THAT AS THE CURRENT YEAR PROGRESSES, WE HAVE MORE TREND AVAILABLE AND WE WOULD HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE THAT $2.1 MILLION FIGURE.

ANY QUESTIONS ON GENERAL FUND PROJECTIONS? YOU'RE LOOKING AT 2.1 AS A MINIMUM, CORRECT ESTIMATION? YES, SIR. OK.

SO THE NEXT TOPIC ON THE NEXT SEVERAL SLIDES, WE WILL TALK ABOUT FUNDING STREAMS FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS AND PURCHASES THAT WE SEEM TO BE BEATING YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH HERE RECENTLY.

SO STAFF IS PROVIDING YOU WITH MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR INITIATIVE PROJECTS AND PURCHASES WITH VARIOUS FUNDING SOURCES, BOTH PLANNED AND UNPLANNED.

THE VOLUME AND DOLLAR AMOUNT CAN SOMETIMES BE SIGNIFICANT AND QUESTIONS ABOUT AFFORDABILITY AND BURDEN TO THE TAXPAYER I'M SURE ARE FOREFRONT IN YOUR MIND SOMETIMES. I'M SURE THOSE FUNDING STREAMS CAN BE CONFUSED OR GET TANGLED AS WELL.

WE TALK ABOUT SO MANY OF THEM.

SO THE SIX BUCKETS OR SOURCES THAT I'M GOING TO BE SPEAKING TO.

OUR GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY, OUR GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE ALSO REFERRED TO AS OUR RESERVE OR A RAINY DAY FUND.

THE SERIES 2019 BORROWING THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE FOR A NEW STATION FIVE ORIGINALLY OUR SERIES 2017 AND 28 TEEN BOND FUNDS ARE BORROWING FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO PROJECTS, THE FUTURE BOND ISSUANCE FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND THAT WE WILL BE DOING IN THE FALL OF 23 OR THE WINTER OF 23 FOR F Y 24.

AND THEN I'VE COMPILED THREE DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES FOR WATER AND SEWER HERE, ARPA FUNDING THE MACEACHERN GRANT AND UTILITY CASH RESERVES. SO FIRST GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY THAT REPRESENTS CURRENT YEAR.

IT REPRESENTS HOW MUCH REVENUE WAS LARGER THAN EXPENDITURES IN THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET.

AND YOUR ADOPTED CONTINGENCY FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR WAS 725,000 AND CHANGE THE BALANCE ON NOVEMBER 9TH BEFORE ANY ACTION TONIGHT IS 554,000.

IF THE BALANCE OF THOSE PUBLIC SAFETY INCREASES ARE APPROVED WOULD DROP TO 193,000 FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

AND JUST TO GIVE THE BOARD SOME VANTAGE POINT, OUR FY 22 CONTINGENCY AT ADOPTION WAS 360,000 AND FY 21, IT WAS 344,000, AND IN FY 20 IT WAS 111,000.

YOU HAVE APPROVED SOME USES OF CONTINGENCY AND ACTUALLY ONE INCREASE.

YOU APPROVE SOME CARD READER PURCHASES IN JULY.

WE DID SOME PERSONNEL RECLASSIFICATIONS AND THE PLANNING OFFICE AND THE GARAGE AND THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR.

AND THEN YOU APPROVED 66,000 FOR ADDITIONAL BUSSES AND AUGUST STATE REVENUE CHANGES THAT WE BROUGHT TO YOU IN SEPTEMBER ACTUALLY INCREASED THE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY BY OVER 50,000.

AND THEN YOU APPROVED THE ORGANIZATIONAL REVIEW AND STAFFING LEVEL STUDY, PHASE ONE.

SO THAT'S WHAT TAKES YOU TO THE BALANCE OF 554.

SO RECOMMENDED OR POSSIBLE USES THAT ARE IN THE FOREFRONT ARE THE PUBLIC SAFETY PAY INCREASE, WHICH WE HAVE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU THIS EVENING.

IT WAS TABLED AN EARLIER MEETING AND AGAIN, THE BALANCE AFTER THIS ACTION, IF IT IS APPROVED, WOULD BE 193.

ALL RIGHT. SO GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE, ALSO KNOWN AS THE RAINY DAY FUND, IF YOU WILL.

THIS REPRESENTS ACCUMULATED EXCESS GENERAL FUND, ACTUAL REVENUES OVER ACTUAL EXPENDITURES YEAR OVER YEAR, AND IT IS MULTIYEAR.

[00:30:06]

YOU HAD ABOUT 19.9 MILLION MORE THAN THE POLICY REQUIREMENT OF 12 AND ONE HALF PERCENT AND 17.2 MILLION MORE THAN 15, WHICH IS A TARGET THAT I KNOW THE BOARD LIKES TO USE ABOVE POLICY.

WE EXPECT TO ADD 4.4 MILLION TO THE FUND BALANCE WHEN YOU GET THE AUDIT REPORT IN DECEMBER.

SO THAT BRINGS THE AUDITED BALANCE TO ABOUT 37.8 MILLION AND 15% OF YOUR CURRENT YEAR BUDGET REPRESENTS 22 MILLION.

SO YOU WOULD HAVE A 15 PLUS MILLION DOLLAR EXCESS ABOVE THE 15% TARGET. YOU HAVE APPROPRIATED SOME FUND BALANCE SO FAR, GRANTS AND DONATIONS, PURCHASE ORDERS.

THE STANDARD 945,000, THE SCHOOL PORTION OF THAT FUND BALANCE WOULD BE 762,000. AND THE SCHOOL CARRYOVER.

AS YOU ARE AWARE, YOU DID APPROPRIATE SOME FUND BALANCE A COUPLE YEARS AGO TO TAKE CARE OF SOME MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY INCREASES RELATED TO WATER AND SEWER AND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

400,000 WAS REPAID OR RETAINED IN FUND BALANCE LAST DECEMBER AND TO FULLY RE RECOUP THAT AMOUNT THAT WAS APPROPRIATED, ANOTHER 376,000 WOULD NEED TO BE RETAINED IN FUND BALANCE WHEN THEY REQUEST THEIR CARRYOVER.

SO POSSIBLE OR RECOMMENDED USES COMING DOWN THE PIKE OR COMING TO YOU VERY SOON OR TONIGHT SCHOOL CARRYOVER THAT WILL PROBABLY BE COMING TO YOU AFTER THE AUDIT REPORT IS RECEIVED IN DECEMBER.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY WILL REQUEST, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE 386,000 AVAILABLE TO REQUEST AND CARRYOVER.

AS YOU'RE AWARE, THE HEALTH FUND CURRENTLY IS IN A DEFICIT BALANCE WITH SCHOOLS.

AND IN FACT, LAST FRIDAY THE DEFICIT WAS 561,000.

I'M SURE THAT THEY WILL NEED A COUPLE OF YEARS TO RESTORE THAT DEFICIT FROM THEIR CARRYOVER.

SO TONIGHT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM MR. SCHUBERT, SCHUBERT ABOUT SOME BOILERS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED.

MR. SIMMONS BRIEFED YOU A FEW MEETINGS AGO, BUT WE WILL BE ASKING FOR AN APPROPRIATION FROM FUND BALANCE TONIGHT FOR $87,614 TO REPLACE TWO BOILERS IN THIS BUILDING.

THAT ERA END OF LIFE.

ALSO ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT IS CIRCUIT COURTROOM CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER NON CONSTRUCTION COSTS THAT TOTAL OVER 2.1 MILLION. AS MR. STOKE ARTICULATED DURING THE FY 23 BUDGET PROCESS, INSTEAD OF DOING A BORROWING FOR THESE PROJECTS, HE RECOMMENDED TAKING IT FROM EXCESS FUND BALANCE. AGAIN, THE THE CONSULTANT DAVENPORT, WHEN THEY LAST DID THEIR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN UPDATE TO US, THEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE NOT DO A BORROWING UNTIL F Y 2027 IN ORDER TO STORE NECESSARY RESERVES TO DO ANOTHER LARGE SCHOOL REQUESTED SCHOOL PROJECT AND OTHER COUNTY PROJECTS.

SO AGAIN, THAT REQUEST WILL BE COMING TO YOU TONIGHT TO APPROPRIATE FROM FUND BALANCE.

ADDITIONALLY, SCHOOL BUSSES AND VEHICLES THAT WERE PURCHASED LAST FISCAL YEAR.

NOT THIS ONE. WE CASH FUNDED THEM THIS YEAR WITH GENERAL FUND REVENUES.

THE PLAN WAS TO BORROW FOR THOSE LAST YEAR.

HOWEVER, THAT PLAN DID NOT MATERIALIZE.

WE DID NOT END UP DOING A BORROWING IN FY 22 TO WRAP THOSE PURCHASES IN.

SO WE WOULD BE BRINGING A REQUEST TO YOU AND THERE IS SOME SNAP INTEREST AVAILABLE THAT WE COULD APPROPRIATE, WHICH WOULD BRING THAT DOWN FROM 812 TO 548000.

WE WILL BE BRINGING THAT TO YOU AFTER THE AUDITORS RECEIVED.

FOR ALL FOCUS. MR. TALMAGE DID A GREAT JOB OF DESCRIBING THE INTEGRATED VEHICLE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

THAT COST IS 394,000 AND CHANGE WORST CASE SCENARIO.

AND AS THE BOARD IS AWARE, WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME FEDERAL.

LOCAL TRIBAL CONSISTENCY FUND MONIES.

[00:35:04]

I'M GOING TO BE ASKING YOU TO APPROPRIATE TONIGHT.

WE SHOULD GET TRAUNCH TO ANOTHER 50,000 SOMETIME IN 2023.

SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO FUND ABOUT 295,000 FROM FUND BALANCE.

THINGS THAT WE DO NOT REALLY HAVE ESTIMATES FOR AT THIS POINT.

CONVENIENCE STATION NUMBER TWO.

YOU DID APPROVE DESIGN WORK OR DESIGN SERVICES OF 128,000.

AND WE ARE AWAITING THE COMPLETION OF THAT DESIGN AND AN ESTIMATE AND BIDDING THAT PROJECT OUT.

BUT THAT IS ALSO ANOTHER PROJECT THAT MR. STOKE RECOMMENDS FUNDING WITH FUND BALANCE RATHER THAN DOING A BORROWING.

AND I KNOW THAT SOME BOARD MEMBERS ARTICULATED INTEREST IN PROVIDING A REBATE PERHAPS TO TAXPAYERS FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES COLLECTED IN F Y 2022.

SO THAT THAT IS STILL OUT THERE AT THE BOARD'S DISCRETION IF THERE IS INTEREST IN IN PROVIDING A REBATE.

ANY QUESTIONS ON FUND BALANCE OR GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY? OKAY. SO NOW ONE TO THE BORROWING THAT WAS DONE ORIGINALLY TO CONSTRUCT A NEW STATION FIVE.

THE BOARD DID CHANGE AFTER THE DESIGN WAS NEARLY COMPLETE FOR A NEW STATION.

$550,950 WAS EXPENDED ON ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN FOR A NEW STATION.

HOWEVER, THE PROJECT WAS NOT BID.

THE BOARD THEN DECIDED TO DO A RENOVATION OF STATION FIVE AND A&E OF $100,500 WAS APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021.

ADDITIONALLY, STATION EIGHT ELECTRICAL DESIGN AND UPGRADES WERE APPROPRIATED IN MAY OF 21 AND APRIL OF 2022, AND I BELIEVE THE LAST TIME MR. SIMMONS GAVE AN UPDATE.

WE ARE EXPECTING EQUIPMENT AT SOME POINT IN DECEMBER TO DO THOSE STATION EIGHT ELECTRICAL UPGRADES.

THE BOARD DID APPROVE ROOF REPLACEMENT AT STATION FIVE ON THE 9TH OF NOVEMBER, AS WELL AS THE SWIPE ENTRY SYSTEM FOR STATION FIVE.

SO APPROVED TODAY IT IS ABOUT 350,000.

THE REMAINING OF THOSE OF THAT BORROWING IS 2.8 MILLION FOR BOTH THE RENOVATION OF STATION FIVE AND OTHER PROJECTS THAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE.

STAFF IS AWAITING A QUOTE OR AN ESTIMATE FOR HVAC HVAC UPGRADES AT STATION FIVE, AS WELL AS ALERTING SYSTEM FOR STATION FIVE.

YOU COULD ALSO POTENTIALLY PAY FOR ALERTING SYSTEM FROM YOUR PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO SYSTEM BORROWING.

REMAINING RENOVATIONS AT STATION FIVE.

AGAIN, THAT AMOUNT IS TO BE DETERMINED.

OTHER STATION CONSTRUCTION RENOVATIONS OR FIRE AND EMS PUBLIC SAFETY PURCHASES COULD BE APPROVED USING THAT REMAINING 2.85 MILLION. QUESTIONS ON THAT.

K SO PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO SYSTEM.

THE BOARD BORROWED TWO BORROWINGS 14 MILLION AND THEN APPROPRIATED SOME SNAP INTEREST $14,793,794.25 HAS BEEN APPROPRIATED FOR THIS PROJECT TO DATE.

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY POTENTIAL RECOVERY OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SINCE THE CONTRACTOR IS PAST THE DATE OF CONTRACT COMPLETION.

THE USES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO DATE WERE CONSULTING SERVICES FROM BOTH AECOM AND ALTUS.

THE L3 HARRIS ORIGINAL CONTRACT WAS 11.5 MILLION.

ALERTING SYSTEMS WERE PUT INTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF STATION FIVE.

SOME WORKSTATIONS WERE ENHANCED FOR THE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER TOWER WORK AND A UPS WORK OF ABOUT 115,000 HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

DECOMMISSIONING OF EXISTING EQUIPMENT FOR 55 TO 25 AND SOME ITEMS FOR THE DISPOSITION OF WORK WORKROOM HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATED.

SO TOTAL COMMITTED TO DATE IS JUST OVER 13.7 MILLION, WHICH LEAVES JUST OVER A MILLION AVAILABLE.

AND AGAIN, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

QUESTION? YES, SIR.

HOW DOES STATION FIVE GET OVERLOOKED?

[00:40:01]

THE DIRECTOR OF FIRE AND EMS AT THAT TIME DID NOT WANT TO INSTALL THE ALERTING SYSTEM AT EXISTING STATION FIVE.

THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT IT WAS NOT ACCOMPLISHED AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE THEN THAT'S WHAT PLAN WAS TO BUILD A NEW ONE.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

AND WE KNOW THAT WE DO NEED TO TO REPLACE THAT ALERTING SYSTEM.

YOU COULD EITHER USE THIS MONEY OR THE 2019 BORROWING FOR STATION FIVE.

OKAY, SO OTHER RECOMMENDED OR POSSIBLE USES OF THAT REMAINING MILLION ADDITIONAL RADIOS AND EQUIPMENT.

COUNTY AND SCHOOLS, THAT QUANTITY AND AMOUNT IS TO BE DETERMINED.

YOU COULD USE THIS TOWARD THE YEAR ONE RADIO MAINTENANCE FEE.

AND AGAIN THE DELTA BETWEEN WHAT WE ARE BUDGETING TODAY WITH OUR CURRENT PROVIDER RADIO COMMUNICATIONS OF VIRGINIA AND THE PROJECTED YEAR ONE WITH L THREE HARRIS IS ABOUT 392,000.

SO THAT WILL WE DO AN FY 24 ONE YEAR AFTER PROJECT ACCEPTANCE, THERE'S A ONE YEAR WARRANTY AND THEN THAT THAT MAINTENANCE FEE DOES KICK IN. AND THIS NUMBER COULD VARY IF THE RADIO QUANTITIES ARE ADJUSTED.

ALSO, ANOTHER RECOMMENDED POSSIBILITY WOULD BE TO UPGRADE THE CAD SYSTEM IN THE SEC THAT IS NEEDED.

AND THE LAST ESTIMATE WE GOT A FEW YEARS AGO THAT THAT INITIATIVE WAS OVER 300,000.

PORTABLE GENERATOR TO USE AT THE TOWER SITES AND OR SEC IF WE HAD A GENERATOR.

FAILURE AT SEC ALERTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION AT STATION FIVE.

AGAIN, YOU COULD USE THIS FUNDING SOURCE OR THESE STATION FIVE BORROWING.

CHIEF BEAMAN HAS INDICATED THAT THERE IS A NEED TO UPGRADE THE FIRM'S REPORTING SYSTEM AND HE DOES NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATE, BUT THAT IS ANOTHER POTENTIAL POSSIBLE USE AND THEN AN UPGRADE AT THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER, WHICH IS HOUSED IN THE SEC BUILDING.

SO JUST JUST SOME THOUGHTS OF HOW THAT EXCESS COULD POTENTIALLY BE USED AND STILL MEET WHAT'S LAID OUT IN THE BOND COVENANT. QUESTION YES, SIR.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

WHAT'S THE EXPECTED TIMELINE ON THAT? HAVE A NUMBER. WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL THE PROJECT IS FINISHED AND SOMETIME IN FIRST PART OF JANUARY.

SO WE'LL HAVE IT PRIOR TO FINALIZING OUR BUDGET.

OH, YEAH. OKAY.

I HAVE A I HAVE A QUESTION TO.

BETWEEN THE MONEY THAT WE BORROWED FOR THE RADIO SYSTEM AND THE MONEY WE BORROWED FOR STATION FIVE.

REFRESH MY MEMORY.

AFTER SO MANY YEARS FROM THE BORROWING, DON'T WE START PAYING PENALTIES AND SOMETHING? WELL, WE ARE SUBJECT TO WHAT'S CALLED ARBITRAGE REBATE.

IF THE TAXES TAX REVENUES THAT WE ARE RECEIVING EXCEED.

I GUESS IT'S A CALCULATED TAX IMPACT.

WE COULD PAY A PENALTY.

TO DATE, WE'VE NOT PAID ANY ARBITRAGE PENALTIES ON EITHER OF THOSE TWO BORROWINGS.

AT THIS POINT, THEIR INTEREST REVENUE OR INTEREST RATE EARNINGS HAVE BEEN SO LOW THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO ARBITRAGE PENALTY.

BUT THAT SHOULD FACTOR INTO OUR DECISION WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHICH ONE OF THOSE TWO SOURCES TO USE FOR THAT ALERTING SYSTEM.

IF WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE THAT'S ABOUT TO TRIP THAT NUMBER, RIGHT, THEN WE PROBABLY SHOULD BE PULLING IN FOR THAT FIRST.

THIS BORROWING IS OLDER.

THIS ONE IS THE OLDEST, I WOULD RECOMMEND.

YEAH, THAT THAT'S WHERE I WAS GOING.

BECAUSE I THINK YES, KNOWING THAT WE HAVE TWO SOURCES, I THINK THE DECIDING FACTOR IS WHICH ONE DO WE HAVE A CHANCE TO TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH FIRST.

SO WE KIND OF GET THAT OFF THE BOOKS.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU. PENALTY INCREASED WITH THE FACT THAT THE INTEREST RATES ARE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF RIGHT NOW AND THE FEDS ARE SUBJECT TO RAISE IT AGAIN.

IT COULD. IT COULD.

AND CERTAINLY WE COULD PAY ANY PENALTY FROM THOSE INTEREST EARNINGS.

THAT ARE BEING DEPOSITED AND SNAP.

BUT IT'S BEST FOR US TO TRY TO MINIMIZE THAT AS MUCH AS AS WE CAN AND FACTOR INTO ANY OF OUR DECISIONS AS PART OF THESE FUNDING SOURCES.

YES, SIR. OKAY. THEIR ALERTING SYSTEM THAT WAS PUT IN ALL THE OTHER STATIONS.

HOW WAS THAT PAID FOR? IT WAS PAID FOR USING THE 2019 OR I'M SORRY, THE 2017 AND 18 BORROWING.

[00:45:02]

IT WAS USED WITH THIS BORROWING AS PART OF THE RADIO SYSTEM PROJECT.

THAT'S ALL EXHAUSTED.

NO, SIR. WE HAVE ABOUT A MILLION LEFT AND WE CAN USE IT TO DO THE ALERTING SYSTEM AT STATION FIVE.

WE ARE WAITING FOR A QUOTE.

MY UNDERSTANDING FROM TALKING WITH CAPTAIN TAYLOR IS THAT THE VENDOR THAT FURNISHES THOSE ALERTING SYSTEMS HAS BEEN BOUGHT OUT AND THEY ARE WAITING OUR SCHEDULING A SITE VISIT TO GET AN UPDATED QUOTE.

AND AS SOON AS WE HAVE THAT, WE WILL BE BRINGING THAT TO YOU FOR APPROPRIATION.

AND MR. HUNTER. THAT WAS MORE OF MY QUESTION BECAUSE SHE SAID WE HAD $1,000,000 LEFT IN THAT PARTICULAR BARGAIN.

BUT WE ALSO HAD A SECOND SOURCE POTENTIALLY, WHICH WAS THE THE BORROWING FOR STATION FIVE, EITHER ONE OF THOSE.

SO I WAS TRYING TO MAKE SURE IF WE HAD A CHOICE, I THINK WE WOULD HAVE WE SHOULD PULL IT FROM HERE FIRST SINCE THIS WAS THE OLDEST BORROWING.

I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT'S WHAT WE WERE.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

WE WERE AIMING AT. RIGHT.

RIGHT. OKAY, OTHER QUESTIONS.

I'M GOOD. SO NEXT ARE WATER AND SEWER.

SO MR. HALTOM, IN HIS FY 23 BUDGET, INCLUDED PROJECTS TOTALING OVER 28.3 MILLION TO DO A BORROWING.

SO WE DO PLAN TO ISSUE DEBT FOR APPROXIMATELY 28.3 MILLION.

THAT'S AN ESTIMATE. AND THE FALL OR WINTER OF 2023 FOR BLACKWATER, REGIONAL INTERCEPTOR AND SEWER FACILITIES, AS WELL AS A THREE MGD WASTEWATER PUMP STATION AND FORCE MAIN.

SO THOSE TWO PROJECTS REALLY THEY ARE JOINED PROJECTS TOTAL OVER 28.3 MILLION.

THE DEBT SERVICE WILL BE REPAID FROM THE PUBLIC UTILITY FUND, NOT FROM THE GENERAL FUND FOR THAT PROJECT.

THE DESIGN IS ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT.

THAT DESIGN RECOMMENDATION IS JUST OVER $2 MILLION TO W.W.

ASSOCIATES, AND THAT REPRESENTS JUST OVER 7% OF ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COSTS, WHICH IS ABOUT AS LOW ACTUALLY NORMALLY DESIGNED, IS ABOUT 10% OF A CONSTRUCTION FROM FROM OUR RECENT EXPERIENCE.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S THE ONLY RECOMMENDED OR POSSIBLE USE OF THAT POTENTIAL BORROWING IS THE 28.3 MILLION FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

AND JUST TO LET THE BOARD KNOW, WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. JABARI REGARDING POSSIBLE USE OF MEALS, TAX MONIES TO HELP WITH POSSIBLY SOME WATER AND SEWER PROJECTS THAT WOULD STIMULATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE WE HAVE BEGUN THOSE DISCUSSIONS, AND I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT AND THIS CONVERSATION THE MEALS TAX REVENUES ARE HEALTHY AND A LARGELY SOME WE HAVE A FAIRLY LARGE CONTINGENCY THAT'S UNCOMMITTED WITHIN THAT FUND AND THOSE REVENUES HAVE BEEN GROWING.

QUESTIONS ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

BUT AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE MR. HALTOM TONIGHT ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF THE DESIGN WORK OR FOR THIS PARTICULAR LARGE PROJECT.

AND YOU WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT IT AND SEE BUDGETED DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS IN THE F Y 24 BUDGET.

AND SO JUST TO REITERATE YOUR YOUR MAIN COMMENT ON THIS PAGE ABOUT THE DEBT BEING REPAID FROM THE PUBLIC UTILITY FUND, NOT THE GENERAL FUND. SO FOR OUR RESIDENTS, THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND PRETTY MUCH THE FOLKS THAT WOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS DEBT SERVICE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE USERS OF THAT SYSTEM UTILITY.

YES. SO THE FOLKS THAT ARE NOT ON THE PUBLIC UTILITY SYSTEM ARE NOT PAYING THIS DEBT, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

OK. OKAY.

SO THIS IS THE FINAL BUCKET AND IT'S A COMBINATION.

IT'S ARPA FUNDING THAT THE BOARD HAS COMMITTED TO UTILITY PROJECTS, SOME FEDERAL AWARDS FROM CONGRESSMAN MCEACHIN AND THEN UTILITY CASH RESERVES.

CURRENTLY, 6 MILLION HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO UTILITY PROJECTS FROM ARPA FUNDING RECEIVED MCEACHIN AWARD WAS 3.2 MILLION AND IT WILL BE USED FOR ROUTE TEN CENTRAL WATER EXTENSION TO ROUTE TEN.

[00:50:02]

THAT IFB IS OUT ON THE STREET AND BIDS ARE DUE ON DECEMBER 13TH.

THE CURRENT PROJECT ESTIMATE IS ACTUALLY JUST OVER 5.6 MILLION.

SO AGAIN, CASH RESERVES WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE USED FOR WHATEVER DELTA OR DEFICIT EXIST.

UTILITY. CASH RESERVES WERE PLANNED FOR THE TEMPLE AVENUE TANK AND BOOSTER STATION $7 MILLION.

WW IS DESIGNING THAT AND MR. HALTOM INDICATES THAT A TENTATIVE IFB ISSUANCE DATE COULD BE MAY OF 2023 AND AGAIN UTILITY CASH RESERVES ON HAND.

YOUR LAST AUDIT WORTH 14.3 MILLION ESTIMATING THEY'RE GOING TO GO OVER TO 15 MILLION WITH THE AUDIT YOU WILL RECEIVE NEXT MONTH.

PREVIOUSLY APPROVED USES ARPA.

TODAY YOU'VE APPROVED 600,000 OF ARPA FUNDING OR HAVE APPROPRIATED 600,000 OF THAT 6 MILLION FOR SEWER PUMP STATION NINE REHAB AND SEWER PUMP STATION TEN REHAB.

AND AWARDED CONTRACTS TO TEN CAVA FOR BOTH.

ARPA. THE REMAINING OF THE 6,000,024 INCH WATER LINE UNDER THE APPOMATTOX RIVER.

ARC KAY IS DESIGNING THAT TENTATIVE IFP ISSUANCE AS FEBRUARY.

ANOTHER ARPA PROJECT IS THE SOUTH POINT FORCE MAIN REALIGNMENT AND CONSTRUCTION.

THE BIDS CAME IN TODAY AND THEY WERE LESS THAN THIS.

MR. STOCK. I'M NOT SURE IF MR. HALTOM SHARED THE BID WITH YOU, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S A GOOD THAT'S GOOD NEWS BECAUSE THAT EXCESS COULD BE USED TOWARD OTHER PROJECTS WITHIN ARPA FUNDING.

SO AGAIN, WE DID RECEIVE ONLY ONE BID TODAY, BUT IT WAS A REASONABLE BID AND THAT WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD.

YOUR DECEMBER 18, DECEMBER 13TH MEETING FOR WARD MCEACHIN.

AGAIN, 3.2 MILLION WAS AWARDED BY CONGRESSMAN MCEACHIN FOR THE CENTRAL SUPPLY EXTENSION TO ROUTE TEN. BIDS ARE DUE DECEMBER 13, THE DAY OF YOUR MEETING, SO IT WILL PROBABLY BE JANUARY BEFORE WE CAN BRING THAT TO YOU FOR AWARD. UTILITY CASH RESERVES AGAIN, 7 MILLION FOR THE TEMPLE AVENUE TANK AND BOOSTER STATION.

SO THESE ARE JUST PROJECTS YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING ABOUT.

WE JUST WANTED TO REFRESH OR PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION TO YOU ON THE FUNDING SOURCES FOR FOR THESE LARGE PROJECTS.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

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

OH, MAN. WELL, YOU DON'T DEAL IN SMALL NUMBERS, YOU KNOW.

WELL, THAT'S WHY WE KIND OF WANTED TO LAY THESE BUCKETS OUT, BECAUSE YOU ARE GETTING HAMMERED WITH REQUESTS FOR PROJECTS AND HAVE SOME ON THIS AGENDA AND FUTURE AGENDAS.

AND WE JUST KIND OF WANTED TO CLEAR IT UP THE WAY YOU THE WAY YOU LAID IT OUT IS GOOD COLOR CODING.

I GUESS, SIR, WE MIGHT REFER TO THE ORANGE BUCKET.

BUCKET. NO MORE QUESTIONS.

NO, MA'AM. THANK YOU, MRS. DREWRY. THANK YOU.

THIS CONCLUDES OUR WORK SESSION, AND I CALL THE BOARD INTO RECESS UNTIL 7:00.

BLOCK. THE BOARD HAS BEEN IN A WORK SESSION AND THEN IN RECESS AND THE CALL THE BOARD BACK TO ORDER FOR THE BUSINESS MEETING.

[ORDER OF BUSINESS ]

MS.. DREWRY YES, MA'AM.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

BOARD MEMBERS. MR. STOKE AND MR. WHITTEN.

THIS ITEM IS BEHIND TAB FIVE IN YOUR PACKETS.

THE BOARD IS AWARE THAT WE MADE A REQUEST TO APPLY FOR LOCAL ASSISTANCE IN TRIBAL CONSISTENCY FUNDS.

ON OCTOBER 25TH.

WE DID RECEIVE THE FIRST TRANCHE OF THOSE FUNDS, 50,000 OF THE 100,000 THAT WE CAN RECEIVE.

SO WE ARE SIMPLY ASKING FOR APPROPRIATION OF THAT FIRST TRANCHE AND WE WILL HOLD THOSE FUNDS AND A SPECIAL REVENUE FUND FOR THE PROJECT THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT EARLIER AT YOUR WORK SESSION, THAT INTEGRATED VEHICLE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

THERE IS A RESOLUTION IN YOUR PACKET AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THIS APPROPRIATION.

ANY QUESTIONS? NO, MA'AM. I SAY WE ACCEPT THE RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.

I'M SORRY. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION ANYWAY? OKAY. AND I'LL.

I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. CARMICHAEL? YES, MR. WEBB? YES, MRS. WAYMACK? YES. MR. HUNTER? YES, MR. BRYAN? YES. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. NOW WE GO ON TO A TWO, WHICH IS AN AWARD OF CONTRACT AND APPROPRIATION FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF TWO LOCK BOILERS AND AN AIR SEPARATOR.

GENERAL SERVICES, PLEASE.

I'M DOING THAT.

WAIT, NO, HE'S HERE.

OH, HE IS HERE. HE WAS HERE.

HE WAS HIDING. OKAY.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE STOOD UP.

YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD IT. YES, SIR.

GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'M MICHAEL CHABOT.

I'M THE MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR.

I'M HERE REPRESENTING GENERAL SERVICES.

I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU TO REPLACE THE LOCHINVAR BOILERS.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE CURRENTLY RUNNING ON ONE BOILER, WHICH IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO HEAT THIS BUILDING WHILE WE HAVE MILD TEMPERATURES.

WE KNOW WHEN WE GET OUR BIG BREAKS OF EXTENDED TEMPERATURES THAT ARE BELOW FREEZING, THAT ONE UNIT IS NOT GOING TO RUN IT.

THIS UNIT NOW, IT'LL GO OUT HERE AND THERE.

WE'LL COME IN, WE'LL RESET THE BOILER UP AND RUN.

SOMETIMES IT RUNS FOUR DAYS, SOMETIMES THAT'LL RUN FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT BEFORE IT TRIPS OUT AGAIN AND WE HAVE TO COME AND RESET IT THE BUILDING SOME.

RAN OFF OF TWO BOILERS.

BASICALLY THE ALTERNATE, THE ONE DON'T GET BURNED OUT.

THIS PAST YEAR THEY CAME IN AND DID MAINTENANCE ON THE ONE AND IT HAD A PINHOLE AND THE BURNER.

THEY REPLACED THE BURNER AND THEN THE BURNER BLEW UP AND THAT GOT CONDEMNED.

SO LIKE I SAID, WE'RE RUNNING ON ONE ONE BOILER RIGHT NOW FOR THE BUILDING AND IT'S WORKING RIGHT NOW.

BUT ONCE WE GET THE COLDER EXTENDED TEMPERATURES, IT'S NOT GOING TO HEAT THIS BUILDING.

THANK YOU, SIR. GO AHEAD.

GO AHEAD. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHAT'S THE TIME? WHAT'S THE TIMELINE FOR INSTALL? AT 6 TO 8 WEEKS.

ONCE WE AWARD THEM THE CONTRACT, THE BIGGEST DILEMMA IS GETTING THE EQUIPMENT.

ONCE WE GET THE EQUIPMENT IN, THEY CAN GET IT UP AND RUNNING, AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO.

[01:05:04]

THEY'LL SWITCH IT OVER TO RUN OFF OF THAT ONE AND THEN THEY'LL THEY'LL SWITCH OUT THE ONE THAT'S WORKING RIGHT NOW.

SO WE WON'T GO WITHOUT HEAT AT ALL IN THE BUILDING.

SO 6 TO 8 WEEKS, BARRING ANY MATERIAL SHORTAGE OF SIX, 6 TO 8 WEEKS, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY ESTIMATING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AN EXTENDED LEAD TIME TO GET THE EQUIPMENT IN.

SO RIGHT NOW, HVAC EQUIPMENT IS HARD TO GET.

KNOW, THAT WAS PART OF MY QUESTION, BECAUSE I SAW IN OUR BOOK IT SAID REPAIR.

LIKE IN THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR.

SO. SO WHAT'S THE PLAN IF SOMETHING DRASTIC HAPPENS? AND YOU SAID IT'S THERE'S NOT SUITABLE TO HEAT THIS BUILDING.

IF IT GETS EXTREMELY COLD, WHICH WE ALL KNOW IT'S COMING.

IT'S COMING. THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT DONE NOW.

AND IT COULD BE QUICKER THAN THAT 6 TO 8 WEEK LEAD TIME.

IF THEY CAN GET IT IN QUICKER, THEY'LL GET IT IN QUICKER.

BUT OUR BIGGEST CONCERN WAS WHEN WE TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT IS THEM NOT ELIMINATING HEAT COMPLETELY.

TO PUT IN THIS NEW EQUIPMENT, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO WORK ON ONE FIRST, WHILE THE ONE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW STILL RUNS.

AND THEN IF THEY GET THE FIRST NEW UNIT AND THEY CAN SWITCH OVER AND THEN GET THE OTHER ONE SWAPPED OUT.

SO I GUESS WHERE I'M GOING IS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE BOILER THAT WE HAVE TODAY BEFORE WE GET THESE IN, IS THE BUILDING CLOSED THEN? BECAUSE WE CAN'T HEAT THIS BUILDING, BUILD HEAT? I JUST JUST ASK IT SO WE KNOW WHAT? NO, NO. THAT'S WHY IT'S USUALLY RUN OFF OF TWO UNITS IN THIS BUILDING IS USUALLY TWO GUARDS THAT RUN IT BECAUSE THEY'LL ALTERNATE TWO.

WE HAVE A LEAD AND THEN WE HAVE A BACKUP, SO THEY'LL ALTERNATE.

SO ONE'S NOT RUNNING ALL THE TIME AND THEY'LL RUN AT A PERCENTAGE AND WE'LL RUN 100% ALL THE TIME UNTIL IT NEEDS IT.

RIGHT. BUT WE'RE ON ONLY ONE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU SAID ONE IS CONDEMNED.

SO WE ONLY HAVE ONE ONE BOILER RUNNING.

THAT'S IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THAT BEFORE THIS GETS REPAIRED.

AND WE HAVE AND WE WON'T HAVE ANY HEAT.

YEAH, WELL, NO, WE'RE NOT MAKING WORK IN THE COAL SPACE HEATERS, BUT IT'S A WHOLE LOT OF SPACE HEATER.

BUT IT WORKS WHERE YOU GOT BIGGER ISSUES, NOT MAYBE BUILDING.

YOU COULD HAVE BUSTED PIPES.

YEAH, I'M THINKING OF WATER PIPES AND EVERYTHING THAT I WAS JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

WHAT WAS OUR BACKUP PLAN? WHAT'S OUR PLAN? IF SOMETHING DIES, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE SURE, AS MR. WEBB SAID, WE DON'T END UP WITH BUSTED WATER PIPES BECAUSE THERE'S NO HEAT IN THIS BUILDING.

THAT'S ONE THING, NOT HAVING PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING.

BUT THAT'S THAT'S NOT PART OF THERE MAY BE COMMERCIAL RENTAL UNITS AVAILABLE.

I KNOW WE CAN DO COLD SPOTS.

I'M SURE WE CAN DO THESE.

BUT THE BOILER IS A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE BIT.

NOT SURE ABOUT HEATERS.

YEAH, HEATER IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

YEAH. AND I'M JUST ASKING THE QUESTION.

IT'S, IT'S NOT RELEVANT TO APPROVING THIS OR NOT.

IT'S NOT TRYING TO TELL YOU IS THERE ENOUGH MONEY IN HERE TO TRY TO EXPEDITE THE FIRST BOILER ONCE THIS IS APPROVED? IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, THINK ABOUT IT AS QUICK AS WE CAN.

YES. OKAY.

THAT'S ALL I GOT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MADAM CHAIR.

ALL RIGHT. DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? SO I MOVED THE SECOND.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. WEBB? YES? THIS IS WAYMACK.

YES. MR. HUNTER.

YES. MR. BRYAN.

YES. MR. CARMICHAEL? YES. THANK YOU, SIR.

A THREE RESOLUTION AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE CIRCUIT COURTROOM RENOVATIONS.

THIS JURY? YES, MA'AM.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

BRINGING FOUR BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.

AN AUTHORITY TO AWARD A CONTRACT TO VERTEX CO FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CIRCUIT COURT ROOM RENOVATIONS AND THE ADJACENT COUNTY COURTHOUSE.

THE BOARD DID APPROVE FOUR MOSTLY ARCHITECTS TO DESIGN THESE RENOVATIONS IN NOVEMBER OF 2021 WITH AN APPROPRIATION THEN FOR PLANNED BORROWING. BUT AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING FUNDING STREAMS, MR. STOKES PROPOSED THAT WE TAKE THESE FROM OUR FUND BALANCE AS WE HAVE EXCESS RESERVES OVER YOUR POLICY REQUIREMENTS.

WE DID ISSUE AN INVITATION FOR BID ON SEPTEMBER 16 WITH BIDS BEING DUE ON OCTOBER 25TH, AND WE RECEIVED TWO BIDS.

THE ATTACHED THE BID SUMMARY IS PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKET AS ATTACHMENT ONE.

VERTEX CO WAS THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE BIDDER AT 1,396,000, AND WE ARE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT AWARD OF CONTRACT TO VERTEX CO WITH AN APPROPRIATION OF GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE.

THERE IS A RESOLUTION IN YOUR PACKET AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

AND I THINK I REMEMBER SEEING SOMEWHERE THIS WAS A DO NOT EXCEED.

YES, SIR. THIS IS A NOT TO EXCEED.

[01:10:02]

YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THEY CAME IN UNDER PROPOSED BUDGET.

SO RIGHT.

THAT WE FOLLOWED RESOLUTION.

SECOND. SECOND.

THANK YOU. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

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

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

THANK YOU, MRS. DREWRY.

THANK YOU. NOW WE GO TO A4, WHICH IS MRS. DREWRY AGAIN.

YES. RESOLUTION FOR THE APPROPRIATION FOR NON CONSTRUCTION.

WAIT A MINUTE. I'M OUT OF ORDER HERE.

NO, THAT'S. THAT'S CORRECT.

YEAH. OKAY. I'M SORRY.

I'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED.

I THOUGHT I WAS AT THE WRONG PLACE.

THE VERSION FOR THE NON CONSTRUCTION CIRCUIT COURTROOM RENOVATION COSTS.

MS.. DREWRY? YES, MA'AM.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

RELATED TO THE PROJECT THAT YOU JUST APPROVED FOR CONSTRUCTION, THERE ARE OTHER COSTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THAT CIRCUIT COURTROOM RENOVATION.

ATTACHMENT ONE PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THOSE OTHER COSTS, AND THOSE ARE FURNITURE AND FIXTURES, TESTING AND INSPECTIONS.

ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES, WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN AWARDED WITH A PRIOR APPROPRIATION FOR BORROWING, WHICH WE WILL NOT DO.

AND NOW THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO TAKE THAT FROM FUND BALANCE AS WELL.

DATA AND TELEPHONE AND SECURITY ALLOWANCES, ANY MOVING EXPENSES THAT MIGHT BE INCURRED, ANY ALTERNATE SITE OR OFF SITE EXPENSES THAT MIGHT BE INCURRED WHILE THE COURTROOM IS UNDER RENOVATION AND UNAVAILABLE FOR USE AS WELL AS A CONTINGENCY.

ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS STATE EQUIPMENT FOR RECORDING SYSTEM QUOTE WAS PROVIDED ON OCTOBER THE 13TH FOR 110,000. WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU APPROPRIATE THE REMAINING BUDGET ESTIMATE FROM FUND GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE AND AWARD CONTRACT TO BEIS DIGITAL FOR THAT REPLACEMENT RECORDING SYSTEM.

AND THAT AMOUNT IS 110,870 $0.03.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE RELATED TO THIS REQUEST.

QUESTIONS. NO MATTER.

MADAM CHAIR, IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, I SO MOVED THAT WE APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED OR THIS AWARD AS PRESENTED AWARD OF CONTRACT.

THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? A SECOND? THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. CARMICHAEL.

YES, MR. BRYAN? YES. MR. HUNTER? YES. THIS IS WAYMACK? YES. MR. WEBB? YES. THANK YOU, MISS DREWRY.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE. YOU'RE STILL ON? I'M STILL HERE.

YOU'RE STILL THERE? A FIVE IS APPROVAL OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

SALARY INCREASES? YES, MA'AM. AS YOU ARE AWARE, AND WE DISCUSSED EARLIER THIS EVENING, THE BOARD DID RECEIVE A REQUEST FROM STAFF ON OCTOBER 24, 25TH, TO PROVIDE A MID-YEAR SALARY INCREASE FOR BOTH POLICE OFFICERS AND FIRE AND EMS DIRECT RESPONSE STAFF.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SALARY COMPARISONS REVEAL THAT OUR STARTING SALARY WAS AT THE BOTTOM.

WHEN WE COMPARE FOR THE COMPARISON GROUP, WHICH INCLUDED MANY JURISDICTIONS IN THE REGION AND SOME PRIVATE EMPLOYERS AS WELL.

SO WE ARE REQUESTING A MID-YEAR INCREASE THAT WOULD INCREASE THE STARTING SALARY AND THE CORRESPONDING PAY PLAN FOR POLICE OFFICERS AND FOR FIRE AND EMS. THE MID-YEAR COST OF THAT RECOMMENDED INCREASE IS $361,225.

THE RECOMMENDED FUNDING SOURCE FOR THAT IS GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY, WHICH WAS THE LIGHT BLUE BUCKET FUNDING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE WORK SESSION. AND THEN THE PERMANENT INCREASE, OF COURSE WOULD BE SUPPORTED BY INCREASED GENERAL FUND REVENUES FOR FY 24 AND BEYOND. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MIGHT HAVE.

THE POWERPOINT THAT YOU RECEIVED ON OCTOBER 25TH IS IN YOUR PACKET, AS WELL AS A GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY OF WHERE THE BALANCES ARE.

THAT'S SHOWN AS ATTACHMENT C AND THEN THE UPDATED PAY INCREASE OR THE PAY RANGES WERE ALSO PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKET AS ATTACHMENT D.

I THINK YOU AND MRS. HART EXPLAIN THIS IN PRETTY GREAT DETAIL.

[01:15:01]

IT'S A NECESSARY THING TO KEEP US IN LINE, TO KEEP THE QUALITY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE PERSONNEL WE HAVE.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THIS PROPOSAL.

NOW SECOND. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. BRYAN? YES.

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

MR. CARMICHAEL? YES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. REED. THANK YOU.

NEXT, WE GO ON A SIX.

MR. HALTOM, OUR WATER EXPERT AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR SOUTH POINT BUSINESS CENTER FORCE MAIN.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF BOARD AND MR. STOKE. MR. WHITTEN, AS YOU'RE AWARE, AND MS..

DREWRY ANNOUNCED TONIGHT, WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO INSTALL THE RELOCATION OF OF THE FORCE MAINE, THAT SERVES THE BUSINESS PARK AS WELL AS SOME OF THE AREAS ALONG ROUTE 460.

BOMA CONSULTING GROUP IS THE ONES WORKING ON THE DESIGN FOR THAT PROJECT.

AND AS PART OF THAT, THEIR DESIGN COSTS.

THEY INCLUDE IT COST TO DO RECEIVE A PERMIT FROM Q TO GET A WAIVER IN LIEU OF A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN.

WE WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING THIS WAIVER AND THEREFORE WE ARE.

WE HAVE THIS TASK STILL REQUIRED OF US TO GET THIS FULL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN FROM DEC.

SO WE ARE PREPARED TO.

BOWMAN HAS PREPARED A PROPOSAL OF 16,000 TO COMPLETE THIS PERMITTING ACTIVITY.

THIS IS KIND OF EXPECTED BASED ON WHERE PERMITTING HAS BEEN GOING RECENTLY WITH THE E.

Q AT THE SAME TIME, THIS IS HOPEFUL.

WE WERE HOPEFUL WE WERE TO TO AVOID THIS.

AND AS MR. DREWRY ANNOUNCED EARLIER, WE HAVE ALREADY GOT OUR BIDS BACK FOR THIS PROJECT.

THIS TASK WILL NOT IMPACT THE CONSTRUCTION COST AT ALL.

THIS IS SIMPLY A PERMITTING TASK ONLY AND WILL WOULD PROBABLY RESULT IN SOME MITIGATION COSTS IN THE END, MEANING WE WILL HAVE TO BUY SOME TYPE OF CREDITS FOR A STORMWATER BANK LATER DOWN THE ROAD.

SO THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF COMPLETING THIS TASK.

FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING THIS PERMIT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS? NO, MA'AM.

I'M GOOD. WELL, MADAM CHAIR, IF NO ONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I WOULD MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR AUTHORIZING THE CHANGE ORDER FOR THE ADDITIONAL SERVICES BY BOWMAN, BY BOWMAN'S CONSULTING GROUP.

I'LL SECOND IT. THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A SECOND. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

MR. HUNTER? YES, MRS. WAYMACK? YES, MR. WEBB? YES, MR. CARMICHAEL. YES, MR. BROWN. YES, THANK YOU.

NOW ON TO EIGHT. SEVEN.

MR. HALTOM. YES, MA'AM.

AND AS YOU'RE VERY WELL AWARE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS TO IDENTIFY A PROJECT EITHER THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OR THIS NEW PUMP STATION AND CONVEYANCE SYSTEM OVER TO HOPEWELL.

AS YOU KNOW, THIS BOARD HAS VOTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PUMP STATION AND FORCE MAIN.

AND WE HAVE WORKED WITH ONE OF OUR CONSULTING ENGINEERS TO TO WORK UP A PROPOSAL FOR THAT DESIGN.

BUT AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE OUT OF WASTEWATER CAPACITY IN THE BUSINESS PARK, AND THAT IS THE DRIVING FACTOR OF THIS PROPOSAL, THIS PROJECT.

SO THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW US TO INSTALL ABOUT ONE MILE OF TRUNK LINE GRAVITY TRUNK LINE TO A NEW 3 MILLION GALLON PER DAY PUMP STATION.

AND FROM THERE, THAT PUMP STATION WILL PUMP THROUGH A 20 INCH FORCE, MAYBE 24 INCH FORCE MAIN ALL THE WAY TO THE CITY OF HOPEWELL, WHICH IS ABOUT TEN MILES.

SO THIS PROJECT IS REALLY, AS MR. DREWRY POINTED OUT EARLIER AND DURING THE WORK SESSION, IS ACTUALLY TWO PROJECTS TOGETHER.

IF YOU SAW IN YOUR PREVIOUS REPORTS AND THE UTILITY STUDIES WE'VE DONE, WE HAD THE TRUNK MAIN PROJECT SEPARATE OUT AS ONE PROJECT AND THE PUMP STATION FORCE MAIN IS A SEPARATE PROJECT. WE'VE MADE THIS ALL INTO ONE PROJECT AND WE'RE PROPOSING TO HAVE THIS AWARDED TO ONE ENGINEER TO COMBINE THIS EFFORT SO THAT WE HAVE ALL OF THE DESIGN DONE AS ONE EFFORT SO WE CAN GET ALL DONE AT ONE TIME.

W.W. ASSOCIATES HAS PROVIDED US THAT PROPOSAL, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, FOR TWO $2,037,500.

THAT DOES REQUIRE AN APPROPRIATION.

AND THIS WAS GOING TO COME, AS MR. REED POINTED OUT EARLIER, FROM THE DEBT SERVICE THAT WE WERE PLANNING FOR.

BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TO THE BOND MARKETS.

WE'RE GOING TO USE THOSE FUNDS FROM THE PRINCIPAL AND.

INTEREST TO BE ABLE TO PAY OFF THIS, THIS, THIS FEE.

SO WITH THAT, THEY'LL GIVE US A 1.8 JUST JUST UNDER $1.9 MILLION.

AND WE'RE GOING TO USE THE REMAINING OF OUR USE UTILITY CASH RESERVES FOR THE REMAINING COST OF JUST UNDER 180,000.

[01:20:08]

AND THIS WILL BE UTILIZED IN THE ARPA FUNDS.

EXCUSE ME. THAT'S. THAT'S INCORRECT, ISN'T IT? HERE IN MY BOARD REPORT, I SAID USING ARPA FUNDS AS INCORRECT.

IS THIS ALL FROM DEBT SERVICE AND UTILITY CASH RESERVES? SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

BUT WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE MAKE THE AWARD TO W.W.

ASSOCIATES IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,037,500 FOR THE DESIGN OF THE TRUCK, MAIN PUMP STATION AND FORCE MAIN QUESTIONS. SOME OF.

SECOND. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MRS. WAYMACK? YES, MR. WEBB? YES, MR. CARMICHAEL.

YES, MR. BROWN? YES, MR. HUNTER. YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. HALTOM. YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL 730.

OKAY. WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 730 FOR OUR PUBLIC HEARING.

SO I CALL A BRIEF RECESS FOR A FEW MINUTES.

THANK YOU. THREE.

THE BOARD HAS BEEN IN RECESS AND THEY'LL CALL THE BOARD BACK TO OUR NEXT ITEMS OR THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[PUBLIC HEARINGS ]

TO CLARIFY THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION FOR THE INITIAL APPLICATION AND REVALIDATION THE SPECIAL REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT.

MR. WHITTEN. YES, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MR. STOKE.

SECTION 74, DASH 263 OF THE COUNTY CODE STATES THAT A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR LAND PRESERVATION MAY BE REQUESTED BY APPLICATION AND THAT THE COUNTY ASSESSOR SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER THE SUBJECT PROPERTY MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR SUCH TAXATION UNDER THIS DIVISION.

HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T STATE WHAT DOCUMENTATION IS NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE QUALIFYING USE.

THE AMENDMENT, WHICH IS IN YOUR PACKET, WILL STATE WHICH DOCUMENTATION IS NEEDED FOR AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL USE, FORESTRY USE AND OPEN SPACE USE.

THE DOCUMENTATION WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE INITIAL APPLICATION AND THE REVALIDATION EVERY SIX YEARS THEREAFTER.

THE AMENDMENT WOULD ALSO ALLOW OPEN SPACE AGREEMENTS, WHICH WOULD BE FIVE YEARS IN LENGTH, WHICH WOULD BE BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE LANDOWNER, TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT.

THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE SIGNED BY THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND THE LANDOWNER, AND THEN THE COUNTY ATTORNEY WOULD SIGN IT AS TO FORM.

THE DRAFT ORDINANCE IS IN YOUR PACKET.

THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADVERTISED.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

I'M GOOD, CHRISTIAN.

NO, I'M GOOD. NO QUESTIONS.

OPEN UP. DO YOU HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? SORRY.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS MOTION? PLEASE DO SO AT THIS TIME.

SEEING NO ONE COME FORWARD.

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

NOW WE NEED A RESOLUTION.

MADAM CHAIR, IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS, I WOULD SO MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM P ONE FOR THE SPECIAL RATE OR SPECIAL REAL ASSESSMENT? I'M SECONDED. THANK YOU.

CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MRS. WAYMACK? YES, MR. HUNTER? YES. MR. BRYAN? YES. MR. CARMICHAEL? YES, MR. WEBB? YES.

THANK YOU. NOW WE MOVE ON TO P TWO.

A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUESTS OF ROBERT AND TONYA DEMPSEY FOR A HOME OCCUPATION.

MR. GRAVES? YES. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

WAYMACK MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MR. STOKE. MR. WHITTEN, AS YOU HEARD, THIS IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST OF ROBERT AND TONYA DEMPSEY TO PERMIT A HOME OCCUPATION AND AN ACCESSORY BUILDING WITHIN AN R, A ZONING DISTRICT.

AND THE PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST IS TO OPEN A CAR REPAIR SHOP AS A HOME BASED BUSINESS ON A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

SUBJECT PROPERTY IS JUST OVER FOUR ACRES IN SIZE.

IT'S LOCATED ON CARSON RUTAN ROAD, 1975, AND AS IDENTIFIED AS A TAX MAP NUMBER YOU SEE THERE.

[01:25:07]

YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY IS IN BETWEEN A TRIANGLE FORM BY CARSON RUTAN ROAD AND RWANDESE COURT OFF OF RWANDA ROAD.

ALSO, IT'S NEAR INTERSTATE 95.

THAT'S LOCATED IN A VERY SOUTH OF THE COUNTY.

THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE PROPERTY CLOSER IN.

THIS IS A ZONING MAP.

THE WHOLE THE PROPERTY AND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ALL ZONED RESIDENTIAL, AGRICULTURAL.

AND HERE IN AN AERIAL VIEW, YOU CAN SEE MORE DETAIL.

YOU CAN SEE, FOR INSTANCE, THAT THE PROPERTY IS ACCESSED VIA A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY COMING OFF OF CARSON RUTAN ROAD.

THERE YOU CAN SEE MOSTLY OPEN GRASS AREA WITH A HOUSE ON IT.

ALL RIGHT. JUST A QUICK SUMMARY OF THIS REQUEST.

AGAIN, IT'S AUTO MAINTENANCE.

AUTO REPAIR SHOP SERVICES WILL OFFER A RANGE OF SERVICES YOU'D EXPECT AT A SHOP LIKE THAT.

HOURS OF OPERATION WOULD BE 9 A.M.

TO 6 P.M.

ON WEEKDAYS.

CUSTOMERS PER DAY WOULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 0 TO 10.

HE DOESN'T EXPECT TO RECEIVE TEN ON A REGULAR BASIS.

THAT'S JUST SETTING A MAXIMUM SETTING MAXIMUM FOR EXPECTATION.

THE SHOP HAS BEEN BUILT.

IT WAS INVISIBLE IN THE PREVIOUS AERIAL VIEW.

THAT WAS FROM 2020.

THE SHOP HAS BEEN BUILT ITS 30 FOOT BY 30 FOOT.

THERE'S NO SIGNAGE NEEDED FOR THIS BUSINESS.

THEY DON'T PLAN TO HAVE A FENCE OR ANYTHING TO SCREEN THE CARS.

HOWEVER, THE PARKING WILL BE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SHOP AND WHERE THE CARS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

AS YOU SAW, THIS IS SITUATED BEHIND OTHER PROPERTIES AND YOU'LL SEE AGAIN ON AN AERIAL VIEW.

MR. DEMPSEY IS THE, OF COURSE, THE APPLICANT.

HE'LL INITIALLY BE THE ONLY PERSON WORKING IN THE SHOP, BUT HE HAS SAID HE'D LIKE TO, AS HIS BUSINESS GROWS, BE ABLE TO ADD ONE EMPLOYEE HELPER IN THE FUTURE.

AND HE SAID REALISTICALLY, THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF VEHICLES ON STORED IN THE PROPERTY ANY TIME IS IS ONLY GOING TO BE WHAT HE CAN HANDLE TO GET IN AND OFF HIS PROPERTY.

BUT THE MAXIMUM WOULD BE UP TO FIVE.

HE SPOKE WITH ALL OF HIS SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS AND EXPLAINED WHAT HE WAS DOING, WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO, AND HE PROVIDED THERE SOME DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. AND AND THIS USE IS JUST CLASSIFIED AS THAT GENERIC TERM HOME OCCUPATION AND AN ACCESSORY BUILDING.

SO IT'S ALLOWED BY THIS BY IF THIS IS APPROVED.

HERE'S ANOTHER AERIAL VIEW.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE HE DREW ON HERE.

SQUARE FOR THE SHOP BUILDING AND A SQUARE FOR THE PARKING AREA BESIDE THAT.

AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE IT'S SURROUNDED BY PROPERTY, SURROUNDED BY TREES ON ALL SIDES.

IT'S JUST SOME BRIEF COMMENTS FROM PLANNING AND ZONING STAFF.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THERE'S BEEN A HOME OCCUPATION FOR A CAR REPAIR BUILDING.

THERE'S BEEN AT LEAST 20 SINCE 1974.

ADJACENT USES ARE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL EXPECTED IMPACTS ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND ROADWAYS WOULD BE THE LIMITED TRAFFIC FROM CARS COMING IN AND OUT TO GET WORK DONE.

THERE WOULD BE POSSIBLE NOISE FROM THE CAR, WORK DURING THE DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND SOME CARS PARKED ON THE SITE WHILE THEY'RE WAITING TO BE WORKED ON OR WAITING TO BE PICKED UP BY THEIR OWNERS.

SO THE MITIGATION OF THOSE IMPACTS WOULD COME FROM THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS WHICH LIMIT THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BE STORED ON THE PROPERTY.

THE MAXIMUM HOUR OF HOURS OF OPERATION, THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMER VISITS PER DAY AND A MAXIMUM OF ONE EMPLOYEE.

THERE'S ALSO A CONDITION THAT ALLOWS THAT THE OWNER MUST ALLOW POLICE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, TO VISIT THE SITE AND LOOK AT THE VEHICLES, IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THEY'RE INOPERABLE.

REGARDING COMPATIBILITY WITH THE PLAN.

THERE'S NO CHANGE TO THE PRIMARY LAND USE, WHICH IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE, AND SO THERE WOULD BE LIMITED IMPACT ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

SO THIS APPEARS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE PLANS FOR IT TO BASICALLY STAY RESIDENTIAL, LOW DENSITY IN THAT AREA.

THE OTHER OTHER DEPARTMENTS BUILDING INSPECTIONS HAD A COMMENT ABOUT A CHANGE OF USE BEING NEEDED FOR THE BUILDING.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED.

THAT WILL, OF COURSE, BE CONFIRMED BEFORE THEY BEGIN OPERATIONS.

THE THEY'LL HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACE THAT MOSTLY MEANS JUST LOCATED CLOSE TO THE BUILDING.

THE THERE WILL BE FIRE SAFETY, COMPLIANCE AND STORAGE OF THEIR WASTE WILL HAVE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODES RELATING TO STORAGE, TO

[01:30:03]

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SAID THAT THE WELL AND SEPTIC SYSTEM MUST BE EVALUATED.

HOWEVER, THERE IS THIS THE OWNER DIDN'T INSTALL ANY PLUMBING OR ANY BATHROOMS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO THAT SHOULD SHOULD BE.

NO. NEED TO DO ANYTHING THERE, BUT THAT WILL BE CONFIRMED.

THE VDOT SAID THAT THE EXISTING ENTRANCE IS ADEQUATE.

NO OBJECTION.

AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DISCUSSED THIS WITH THIS REQUEST WITH THE APPLICANT.

AND SO THEY'RE ON THE SAME PAGE THERE.

AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE'S NO CONCERNS ABOUT THIS.

THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS ARE IN THE DRAFT ORDINANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

GOING BACK OVER THE THINGS THAT WERE PROMISED AND DISCUSSED ALREADY IN THE APPLICATION MATERIALS AND DURING THIS PRESENTATION, THOSE THERE'S CONDITIONS TO PUT THOSE INTO WRITTEN FORM.

SO NO SIGNAGE.

HOURS OF OPERATION AS DISCUSSED.

THERE MUST BE ADEQUATE PARKING ON SITE AND.

THE PARKING OF THE CARS FOR WORK, THEY'LL HAVE TO NOT BE VISIBLE FROM PUBLIC ROAD.

ONE ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE WOULD BE ALLOWED AND NO OUTSIDE STORAGE OF CAR REPAIR MATERIAL MATERIALS.

THE WORK IS TO BE FORMED, BE PERFORMED INSIDE OF THE BUILDING, THE SHOP BUILDING.

THERE'S THE NUMBER OF MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CUSTOMER VISITS PER DAY.

THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF VEHICLES PER DAY, AS DISCUSSED, AND AGAIN, COOPERATING WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SO AGAIN, THE FULL RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS ARE IN THE DRAFT ORDINANCE AND IN THE STAFF REPORT.

PLANNING COMMISSION ON OCTOBER 27TH.

THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND THERE WERE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THE MEETING.

AND THIS REQUEST ALSO WAS ADVERTISED PROPERLY AND THERE WERE NO PUBLIC.

THERE WERE NO COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC FOR THIS.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I AM HERE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR FOR FOR ME AS STAFF.

ALSO, THE APPLICANT, MR. DEMPSEY, IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR HIM.

QUESTIONS. GOOD QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. HERE ARE NO QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

I OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

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

GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

YOU HAVE 4 MINUTES TO SPEAK.

DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO SPEAK? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I DON'T BLAME YOU SEEING NO ONE COMING FORWARD FOR OR AGAINST THIS.

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

THERE'S NO DISCUSSION, MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT A SPECIAL EXCEPTION AS PRESENTED.

AND I'LL SECOND CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

MR. HUNTER. YES, MR. BROWN. YES, MR. CARMICHAEL? YES, MR. WEBB. YES, MRS. WAYMACK? YES.

THANK YOU, MR. GRAVES.

THE MAIN REASON FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT.

MINIMAL. THE PROPOSED USE OF THE PROPERTY IS COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES AND. IN THE REZONING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WOULD BE CONSISTENT.
