ATTACHMENT 5
Albemarle County’s 2015 Legislative Priorities
Growth Management, Land Use and Transportation
Stormwater Utility Waiver - request the General Assembly to amend Virginia Code § 15.2-2114 to provide that
a public entity is eligible for a waiver under Virginia Code § 15.2 -2114(C) from the imposition of stormwater utility
charges where the public entity’s real property is covered by a municipal separate storm sewer system permit
(“MS4”), even though the public entity is not the MS4 permit holder.
Transportation Funding - Support legislation to 1) establish a new dedicated funding source for a
Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Transit Authority; 2) establish stable and consistent state revenues for
Virginia’s long-term transportation infrastructure needs; 3) direct funding ef forts to expand transportation choices
and engage in multimodal transportation planning; and 4) fund maintenance of rural road systems. The County
also strongly opposes any legislation or regulations that would require the transfer of responsibility to cou nties for
construction, maintenance or operation of new and existing secondary roads.
Biosolids - Support legislation enabling localities, as part of their zoning ordinances, to designate and/or
reasonably restrict the land application of biosolids to sp ecific areas within the locality based on criteria related to
the public safety and welfare of its citizens and the environment. In addition, support legislation regarding land
application of biosolids that protect the environment, public health and safet y.
Local Authority - Support legislation to strengthen localities’ authority by enabling them to utilize adequate
public facilities ordinances, and encourage the General Assembly to refrain from passing legislation that
preempts or circumvents existing local authority to regulate land use.
Impact Fee Authority - Support impact fee legislation that allows for 1) effective implementation through simple
locally-based formulae and reasonable administrative requirements; 2) does not cap or limit localities’ imp act fee
updates; and 3) does not diminish the existing proffer system.
Conservation Easements - Support legislation that augments local efforts in natural resource protection
through 1) continued funding of the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation (VLCF) for locally established and
funded Purchase of Development Rights programs (e.g. ACE Program in Albemarle County); 2) continued
provision of matching funds to localities for their Purchase of Development Rights programs through the Office of
Farmland Preservation; 3) retaining provisions in transient occupancy tax legislation so that funds can continue
to be used to protect open-space and resources of historical, cultural, ecological and scenic value that attract
tourism; and 4) increased incentives for citizens to create conservation easements.
Scenic Protection and Tourist Enhancement - Support enabling legislation for Albemarle County to provide
for a scenic protection and tourist enhancement overlay district. Such legislation would provide a method t o
ensure full consideration of visual resources and scenic areas when the County or state make land use decisions
in designated areas.
Health and Human Services
Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) - Request that the legislature assist localities’ implementation of CSA in a
consistent, financially stable manner by: 1) fully funding the state pool for CSA with allocations based on realistic
anticipated levels of need and a cap on local expenditures for serving a child through CSA, and 2) encouraging
the state to be proactive in making service providers available and to support local and regional efforts to
address areas of cost sharing among localities by procuring services through group negotiation.
Child Care for Low Income Working Families - Request the legislature provide additional funds to local
governments to assist low-income working families with childcare costs. Funding helps working-class parents
pay for supervised day care facilities and supports efforts for families to become self -sufficient.
Local Department of Social Services (LDSS) - Request the legislature increase funds for LDSS to match all
available federal dollars to assist LDSS staffing needs in order to meet state mandated services and workloads.
12
Local Government Administration and Fin ance
Taxation - Support legislation granting counties taxing powers equal to those granted cities and towns, without
decreasing, limiting or changing city and town taxing authority.
Personal Property Tax - Support legislation to amend Virginia Code § 58.1-3518 to provide that the
commissioner of the revenue or Finance Director may elect not to require the reporting of property with an
original cost of less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) on a business personal property tax return.
Virginia Retirement System - The County supports restoration of funds to the Virginia Retirement System to
maintain the long-term solvency of the plan without further devolving the funding responsibility to localities.
School Bus Video-Monitoring Systems - Request the General Assembly to amend Virginia Code Section §
45.2-844 to allow for service of summonses by mail for violations of passing stopped school buses recorded by
school bus video monitoring systems similar to the authority in Virginia Code Section § 15.2-968.1, for the
service of summonses for running red lights recorded by a traffic signal enforcement program.
June Primary Elections – Support legislation to move the annual date for June primary elections in the
Commonwealth from the second Tuesday in June to the third Tuesday in June to avoid conflicts between local
election administration and local school systems, where schools serve as voting precinct polling places.
Composite Index - Support legislation to amend the Composite Index Funding Formula by re-defining the local
true value of real property component of the formula to include the land use taxation value of real property rather
than the fair market assessed value for those properties that have qualified and are being taxed under a land use
value taxation program
Community College Capital Costs - Request the state to fund 100% of public funding required for community
college costs. Currently, localities are required to fund a portion of operating and capital costs.
Public Defender funding - Request the state to adequately fund compensation for public defenders in
Commonwealth jurisdictions.
Full Funding of State Mandates - Request full funding for state mandates in all areas of local government
including the Standards of Quality (SOQs) and other m andates imposed on local school divisions, positions
approved by the Compensation Board, costs related to jails and juvenile detention centers and human services
positions.
Voting Precincts - Eliminate split Virginia Senate precincts to the extent possible. The Virginia Senate
redistricting plan has created split precincts in the Jack Jouett, Rio and Rivanna Magisterial Districts. The Jack
Jouett precinct is split between the 17th and 25th Senate Districts in two places. The Woodbrook precinct is split
between the 17th and the 25th Senate Districts and the Stony Point precinct is split between the 17th and 25th
Senate Districts.
Drug Court Funding - Request full funding for the Drug Court Program, which provides effective treatment and
intensive supervision to drug offenders through the Circuit Courts of several Virginia localities.

Public Engagement Plan
Albemarle County Long Range Solid Waste Solutions Advisory Committee
Approved by the Committee October 21, 2014
STEP 1: Project Description:
The Albemarle County Long Range Solid Waste Solutions Advisory Committee is an advisory committee formed
by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors to study solid waste management as a public policy issue and to
identify best practices for the management of solid waste in the County and how solid waste will be handled in
the future including the possibility of regional cooperation. The committee will recommend a thoughtful,
deliberate, and comprehensive process for developing solid waste policy for the County based on consensus,
cooperation, and economic analysis. This policy will include public engagement in determining goals and
strategies based on the best currently available data.
This public engagement plan is focused on ensuring an effective method for involving the community in the
development of a sustainable materials management policy. Once a policy is adopted, a second phase of public
engagement will involve education about implementing the identified strategies.
Critical Issues:
The information available to the public contains certain contradictions and inconsistent
terminology which make clear dialogue and engagement more difficult.
Currently there is a lack of accurate information concerning the effectiveness of different
recycling and diversion methods. This has led many to believe that our area landfill diversion
rate is higher than it actually is.
Solid waste management is complex and often confusing from a resident’s point of view, even
without the complicated local waste and recycling history.
Consolidation of the waste industry here and around the country is reducing competition and
leaves fewer options for both waste hauling and disposal.
Currently there is a lack of choices among convenient locations for do-it-yourself trash disposal
and recycling. Facilities are hard to locate near neighborhoods.
Given the large amount of current confusion about what is actually recycled or diverted, County
staff and the advisory committee need a fresh approach to inform the public in a deliberate,
consistent, and effective manner without being divisive. This process will require a strong spirit
of transparency and engagement.
County staff and the advisory committee should address the perceived need as referenced in
the GBB report from 2008 for the community to achieve higher rates of recycling and diversion.
STEP 2: Assess Level of Public Concern and Interest
Low – Level 2 on a scale of 1 (very low) to 5 (very high)
The level of public concern and interest could rise before the advisory committee completes its charge. This
public engagement plan will be adaptable and scalable to respond to a changing level of concern and interest.
STEP 3: Identify Public Participation Goals
County staff and the advisory committee seek to involve multiple stakeholders and residents in this process. The
level of public participation may be considered to range on a spectrum. A level three involvement, appears
appropriate for this issue.
Inform Consult/Input Involve Collaborate Empower
1 2 3 4 5
a. County staff and advisory committee members seek to work directly with the public throughout
the process to ensure that issues, aspirations and concerns are consistently understood and
14
considered. This process should include elements of public information, but also solicit two-way
communication.
b. All stakeholders should be included in the process to ensure that their concerns, aspirations, and
issues are directly considered in the alternatives developed and that they are allowed to provide
feedback on how public input influenced the decision.
c. This process will not be the last word in public participation related to sustainable materials
management in the County. To the extent that the committee will deliver not a final policy but
rather “recommend a thoughtful, deliberate, and comprehensive process for developing solid
waste policy,” further public participation will occur in that process. Specific action items will also
have public participation components. This plan, then, is focused on understanding the values of
diverse stakeholders.
Part 1 (pre-implementation of solutions/practices)
Survey the public to inform ongoing engagement activities
Provide the public with accurate information about current practices vs best practices in solid
waste management
Engage the public in the process of long range planning
Provide transparency in making solid waste management decisions
Gather and disseminate community input to ultimate decision-makers (Board of Supervisors) for
their consideration
Keep public and stakeholders informed about any changes throughout the process
Part 2 (post-implementation of solutions/practices)
Provide timely and accurate information to residents about changes to solid waste management.
Engage residents in raising awareness about the importance (the why) but also the practical
logistics (the how) of getting household waste to the proper processing facility and where their
waste ends up
STEP 4: Identify Stakeholders
Albemarle County HOAs
Albemarle County residents in urban ring
Albemarle County residents in the rural area
Regional entities like: RSWA, TJPDC, City of Charlottesville, and UVA
Private Haulers and Transfer Stations
Environmental Groups
Local industry
Large- and small-scale employers
Local Chamber of Commerce
Town of Scottsville
Others to be determined
STEP 5: Select Tools:
Open House
Stakeholder Roundtables
Stakeholder Focus Groups
Social Media forums and quick polls (MindMixer, Facebook)
Tools/ Activities (Public Activities will include)
Information on website. The Long-Range Solid Waste site should be enhanced in style. There is
no additional cost for this. The site should have a map and photos of facilities, an FAQ page, a
calendar, and links to partners.
Glossary of terms for use online and at public events.
Notice when public meetings are occurring, through County website
Public hearing at relevant Planning Commission meetings
Roundtable discussions with stakeholders, facilitated by staff and advisory committee members.
These can replace certain regular committee meetings or be held in addition to them, perhaps
during evening hours at locations out in the community.
15
Survey of HOA contract managers.
Additional focus groups with smaller numbers of stakeholders, facilitated by staff and advisory
committee members. These can provide a more detailed understanding of values and
perspectives.
Press releases to local media
Advisory committee attendance and presentations at community events such as neighborhood
meetings, HOA meetings, festivals, and others to be determined.
Use of a “branding” program for identifying the new focus on “Sustainable Materials
Management”. This may include the use of a new logo or adoption of a pre -existing program
from some other jurisdiction.
Social media outreach
o Twitter engagement from County and from committee members
o Facebook engagement from County and from committee members
o Cville Tomorrow edits and information from County and from committee members, on
wikis related to the committee’s topics
o “Engage Albemarle” discussion topics on the County website
Our overall goal is to strengthen public trust, to involve citizens and stakeholders in a meaningful dialogue, and
to benefit the entire community through development of a successful long term sustainable materials
management polic y.

STEP 7: Roles and Responsibilities
Staff: Staff will work with the advisory committee and the community to prepare a recommended policy approach
to present to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration, ensure the effectiveness of the public participation
process, provide review and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors in accordance with established
county policies and plans, and keep community informed about progress of the plan through the legal review
process.
Committee: The Advisory Committee will work directly with County staff and the communit y to identify,
research and evaluate options, provide leadership for the public engagement process and develop
recommendations a comprehensive solid waste management policy based on sustainable materials
management for consideration by the Board of Supervisors.
