Local Workforce Investment Board, Virginia Area VI – Draft Strategic Plan for July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2003. On April 4, 2001 the Board reviewed the reference to Albemarle County included in the Plan and recommended that the paragraph be amended to include language from the Economic Develop- ment Policy Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends that the paragraph that describes Albemarle County be changed as follows (see bolded text): Albemarle County: Albemarle County enjoys a stable economic base due to tourism and the University of Virginia. The occupation of county workers, County's primary occupations reflecting reflect the presence of the University as well as other higher technology/professional service employers, and is fairly concentrated in managerial and specialty occupations and in technician, sales and support occupations. Close to 70% of labor force occupations are in the executive, administrative, managerial and professional specialty ies, and (36%) or are in the technicians, technical, sales, and administrative support areas (33%). The County is strongly committed to protection of the natural resources and natural beauty of the area. The County may need to become more pro-active than it has been in the past in attracting new businesses due to plant closings and layoffs, but will not abandon its commitment to preserve agriculture, forestry and tourism. The County's economic development goals, as stated in the County's Comprehensive Plan are to maintain a strong and sustainable economy that will benefit citizens and existing businesses; provide diversified economic development; support the County's Growth Management Policy and other Comprehensive Plan goals; and take into consideration regional economic development efforts. By the recorded vote set out above, staff was directed to forward the recommended language change to the Local Workforce Investment Board. Item 5.2. Notice from the Albemarle County Service Authority of proposed water and sewer rate increases effective July 1, 2001, was received for information. Agenda Item 6. PUBLIC HEARING to receive comments on the FY 2001/2002 Recommended Operating Budget and FY 2001/2002 to FY 2005/2006 Capital Improvement Program. (Notice of the public hearing was published in The Daily Progress on April 1, 20001.) ______________ Agenda Item No. 7. PUBLIC HEARING on FY 2001 Tax Rates. (Notice of the public hearing was published in The Daily Progress on April 1, 20001.) Ms. Thomas stated that this is the public hearing on the Board's recommended budget. Prior to beginning the public hearing, the County Executive will make a presentation on changes that occurred during the Board's budget work sessions. April 11, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 2) Mr. Tucker summarized the difference between current year revenues and proposed expected revenues. Local property taxes in the current year account for 46 percent of the County’s total budget. In next year’s proposed budget local property tax is expected to be 38 percent. State revenues were 23 percent and increases to 32 percent for FY 2001/2002. The primary reason for the change is the shifting of the car tax from local property taxes to being shown as State taxes. When the 13 percent increase with regard to the car tax is removed State revenues only increase by one percent. Mr. Tucker went on to explain that on the expenditure side schools make up the primary portion of the County’s budget. School Division operations, debt service and self-sustaining funds make up around 67 percent of the County’s budget. Revenues have increased by $11.4 million or seven percent over the current year. This is primarily due to the biennial reassessment. The County has a recommended budget of one cent of real estate tax held in Board reserve that will be used next year for the opening of the new Baker-Butler Elementary School and perhaps help with the purchase of school buses. The Real Property tax rate for calendar year 2001 is proposed at $0.72 per $100 of assessed valuation for the first half of the calendar year and $0.76 per $100 of assessed valuation for the second half of the calendar year. The lowering of the tax rate by $0.04 for the first half of the year is to refund the County taxpayers the additional amount that was collected in the first half of calendar year 2000. Mr. Tucker stated that the Revenue Sharing Agreement with the City of Charlottesville resulted in a total payment of about $6.5 million. School Division revenues have increased by $5.6 million or almost ten percent from local general fund and only $52,386 or 0.2 percent from state and federal sources. Debt Service of $8.5 million for school construction, renovation and major maintenance projects has been funded. The County’s community agencies are proposed to receive about an average of three percent and general government operating base budgets are level funded. For public safety the County has added two new police officers and expanded the training program for Fire and Rescue. Funding has been provided for thermal imaging cameras and additional training materials for Fire/Rescue and the tanker taskforce equipment project is funded to increase water supply when fighting fires in rural areas. In the Human Service area, the County has added a new full-time Day Care Social Worker, additional support to meals and home safety programs for the elderly, the Woods Edge elderly housing, an increase in Teensight Child Care Assistance, and three additional child care scholarships to United Way. The School Division budget is proposed at $104,491,241 which is an increase of $6.56 million or 6.7 percent over current year. Basically the major components to be funded are the funding of growth, funding to maintain competitive compensation, initial start-up costs of the Baker-Butler Elementary School, bus replacement and increases in energy costs, and increases to staffing for Gifted and Literacy programs. Staff proposes an additional $1,500,757 in one-time revenues and $123,000 in recurring funds. For Quality of Life, the operating funds for Simpson Park in Esmont have been provided, a pilot program to improve maintenance of athletic fields, two new sites and expanded hours for summer playground program. For the Community Development area, one GIS Specialist, one Senior Planner, one Planner, one Civil Engineer and two Zoning Inspectors have been added. Mr. Tucker noted that at the last Board meeting a teacher stood up and said that he had his background in geographic information systems and noted the pay for a GIS Specialist. The teacher made the comment that the salary was $14,000 more than what he makes as a teacher. Mr. Tucker pointed out that the individual was not quite accurate, because the figure given at the public hearing included salary and all of the benefit costs. Staff has combined the capital and operating budget this year so that one financial plan can be considered. On the capital investment strategy, the County is increasing the general fund transfer to the capital program each year by the rate of revenue growth. The County also increases annual general fund transfer to debt service by revenue growth rate. The County is setting aside an additional 0.5 percent of operating budget growth to the capital fund. One cent of the tax rate is being dedicated to the capital fund and an additional $1.0 million in capital funding. Mr. Tucker then referred to the expenditure pie chart for FY 2001/02 through FY 2005/06 and noted that the school system makes up about 60 percent of the Capital Program. He noted that the court system accounts for approximately 13 percent of the CIP, which includes renovation of court buildings, and then stormwater detention and facilities make up about two percent of the CIP. With respect to the General Government's CIP, $10.0 million is added for the new court facility. There are three new fire stations proposed; $1.8 million in neighborhood planning funds, $1.8 million to sidewalk construction funds, $600,000 for transportation planning and improvements, $1.1 million to athletic field development, and an additional $1.0 million to the acquisition of conservation easements for next year. The School's CIP totals about $63.3 million. It adds $13.8 million over the current year to the CIP and funds $23.0 million for the new Northern and Southern Elementary schools. The County is funding $25.4 million for additions and renovations and adding $2.5 million for maintenance and repairs. Mr. Tucker went on to summarize how the community stays involved in the budget process by th highlighting the Board meeting schedule with respect to the budget. He noted that on April 18 the Board would hopefully adopt this year’s budget and CIP budget as well as to set the tax levy for 2001. Ms. Thomas asked for questions from Board members. Mr. Dorrier stated that the budget shows tourism revenue funds of $658,000. He asked if that is identified as money coming from the meals tax. Mr. Tucker responded that this is revenue solely from the transient lodging taxes. The meals tax is rolled into April 11, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 3) the total revenues. Although it can be separated, it is not done so here. Mr. Dorrier noted that in the CIP summary, staff shows $658,000 for FY 2001/02. He asked what percentage of the tax this reflected. Mr. Tucker responded that this reflects two percent as required by the State to be set aside for tourism related functions. Mr. Dorrier asked if all of that money is allocated this year. Mr. Tucker responded that most of it is, but funds are often carried over from a prior year. He also noted that some of that revenue would be used for the acquisition of conservation easements. , With no additional questions from staff the public hearing was opened. Mr. Tom Olivier said he is the President of Citizens for Albemarle. They wish to thank the Board and the County for its commitment to additional staff in the Planning Department. Citizens for Albemarle believes that the two new planner positions and the other staff such as the GIS technologist will greatly strengthen the ability of the Planning Department to deal fully with the great challenges it faces. They know the cost of these positions is not trivial and just wanted to thank the Board for its willingness to fund these positions. Ms. Padma Ball noted that she works for the Jefferson Area Board for Aging. She is a caseworker for elderly residents of Albemarle County. She serves approximately 180 people and her job is to assess their needs and broker services so that they can live as independently as possible at home. She thanked the Agency Budget Review Team for the recommendations it made to the JABA Board. Those recommendations are for the rent for the Mary Williams Senior Center where the seniors go two days a week. The County is also supporting the home delivery meal and congregate meal program where the Senior Center is located. She also thank the County for allocating funds for ramps for the handicapped and disabled elderly and a three percent base line salary increase for those who work directly with citizens over the age of 60. She thanked the Board for their generosity to the elderly and those who work for the elderly in Albemarle. Ms. Marjorie Shepherd said she is President of the Albemarle Education Association. She thanked the Board for finding the money it could, though one-time money, for the schools. She hopes that the Board can follow the compensation recommendations for classified employees. Mr. John Hermsmeier said he is a resident of the Scottsville District. He also wants to acknowledge the Board’s commitment to the Planning Department. He understands and appreciates the many tough decisions the Board has to make. He also understands that it is not possible for the Board to ever fully fund all the needs that come up. He said it takes courage and foresight to address these needs. He believes that a fully staffed Planning Department that can really chart a healthy future for this community will have untold impacts. Mr. Andrew Hoffman said he is a student at Sutherland Middle School. He is in agreement with those teachers who feel they are not being paid enough. He does not feel that the teachers should have to work so hard for so little pay. He also believes that the County might be able to give a little extra to help the curriculum so the teachers can buy certain items that are needed. He believes that without education in County schools no one would be able to work later in life. Therefore, education is a very important need for the future. Mr. Grant Patterson said he is a student at Broadus Wood Elementary School. There is one thing that he feels need to be fixed at the schools in Albemarle County. The words that are scratched on the walls in the bathrooms need to be removed. If the words are not removed other little kids could see them and sound them out and learn inappropriate words. He noted that this would be bad for education. Mr. Leon Hoffman stated that he brought some boy scouts to this meeting and they are learning about citizenship in the community. He stated that he commutes on Route 29 regularly and noted that the truck traffic is getting worse and worse. He just wanted to express his concern. Ms. Thomas stated that the Board traditionally discusses transportation items the first Wednesday of the month during its day meeting. She noted that the VDOT Resident Engineer would be present and she would try to remember this issue to bring it up at that time. With no one else from the public rising to speak, the public hearing was closed. Ms. Thomas noted that the Board would not vote on the budget until the next meeting. She welcomed comments from the Board. Ms. Thomas explained that the Board would open the public hearing on the FY 2001 tax rate. Mr. Tucker reiterated his earlier statement regarding the tax rate. For FY 2001 the personal property tax rate will be $4.28 per $100 assessed valuation. The real property tax rate for the first half of the year will be $0.72 per $100 of assessed valuation and $0.76 per $100 of assessed valuation for the second half of the year. With no questions for staff, the public hearing was opened. With no one from the public rising to speak, the public hearing was closed. There were no other comments on these items. ________________ April 11, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 4) Agenda Item 8. Redistricting Discussion. (Continued from April 4, 2001). Ms. Jackie Harris, County Registrar, addressed the Board. Ms. Harris referred to a map of the redistricting plan for magisterial districts. Based on this plan staff has developed a number of precincts and polling place suggestions. There were a number of criteria staff used in creating these precincts. First, the population data was considered. Staff used guidelines from the state in deciding on which polling places would serve which district. Staff tried to create new precincts that would have a limited number of voters in each in order to allow for a ten-year growth pattern. Accessibility was also considered with input from the disabled community. Staff also tried to look at reasonable access to the polls as far as driving distances and general access. There were also legal guidelines to consider. Polling places must be fully located within a magisterial district; they cannot cross over district lines; and they must be handicapped accessible. Ms. Harris then summarized Plan C for the Board. Woodbrook precinct remains unchanged under this proposal. Laurel Hill is the proposed name of the new precinct in the Rio District. Staff hopes to have these individuals vote at Laurel Hill Baptist Church. There is no signed agreement with the church at this time. Laurel Hill is the northern portion of the Rio Magisterial District and encompasses a portion of the voters from the Earlysville, Hollymead and Agnor- Hurt precincts. The third precinct listed is the Branchlands precinct with voting at the Senior Center. This remains unchanged. The Agnor-Hurt precinct votes at Agnor-Hurt Elementary School. The northern portion of this precinct has been given to the Laurel Hill precinct and the prior Commonwealth precinct has been added. A fifth precinct in the Rio District has been added. That is currently referred to as Dunlora. This precinct includes those citizens living along Rio Road and they will vote at CATEC. There is an agreement with CATEC to serve as a polling place. The Jack Jouett precinct will be maintained. This was the second largest precinct in the County and therefore needed to be pared down considerably. This precinct now contains Farmington and Flordon. The University Hall precinct remains unchanged, with voting to remain at University Hall. Georgetown is the newly created precinct. This precinct consists primarily of voters along Georgetown Road, the northeast side of Barracks Road and what was the southern end of the Commonwealth precinct of Rio District. They will be voting at Albemarle High School. In the Samuel Miller District the Ivy precinct remains unchanged. One of the political party chairs has requested a consideration to re-name the Ivy precinct to the Meriwether-Lewis precinct to cut down on voter confusion. The Sunset Extended precinct was created to answer the long-standing concerns of voters in the growing Redfields community. The polling place is expected to be Berean Baptist Church. The Red Hill precinct, voting at the Red Hill Elementary School, is primarily what was the North Garden precinct. Naming precincts for the polling place aids voters in locating the correct polling place. The Red Hill precinct will consist of the remnants of the North Garden precinct, the Covesville precinct formerly of the Scottsville District and also individuals who live in the southern part of the Batesville precinct. The East Ivy precinct maintains its original shape except for the Farmington/ Flordon area. The polling place is still Kappa Sigma Auditorium but this is one of the precincts that contains the disputed census counts to the tune of over 2,000 population. It is also one of the precincts being moved around at the state level in their redistricting plans. In the Scottsville District there are five precincts. They have been somewhat reconfigured. The Scottsville precinct remains essentially the same. There is a small boundary change to remove a ridgeline as part of the boundary. Those people will vote at Scottsville Elementary School. The Monticello precinct lost voters in its northern end to the newly formed Stone-Robinson precinct but will continue to vote at Monticello High School. The Porters precinct also has a slight boundary change due to the need to have an observable boundary recognized by the census and will continue to vote at Yancey Elementary. The Stone Robinson precinct is a newly created precinct formed from the southern end of what was the Free Bridge and Keswick precincts of the Rivanna District and the northern portion of the Monticello precinct out of the Scottsville District. They will be voting at Stone Robinson Elementary School. Cale precinct is a truncated version of the current precinct. In the Rivanna District there are now five precincts, an addition of one. The Keswick precinct lost part of its southern portion to the Scottsville District. The Stony Point precinct is essentially the same but gained a small area off the top of the Free Bridge precinct. The polling place will be Stony Point Elementary School. Hollymead precinct was the County’s largest precinct and the size has been reduced fairly dramatically. The precinct will now consist basically of the Hollymead and Forest Lakes communities and those voters on both sides of Proffit Road between Route 29 and the town of Proffit. The Free Bridge precinct is also growing and is slated for continued growth. The Rio Road corridor was removed and forms the Dunlora precinct. The Burnley precinct came basically from the northern section of the Hollymead precinct. It also includes Camelot and the Briarwood neighborhood. In the White Hall District the Crozet precinct is the County’s third largest precinct. It will be reduced and will consist of voters from the current Crozet precinct, with voting to take place at the Crozet Elementary School instead of Brownsville Elementary School. The Free Union precinct remains essentially unchanged. The Earlysville precinct remains essentially the same. Broadus Wood Elementary School will be the polling place even though it is within the Rio District. It falls within the legal guidelines for use as a polling place. Brownsville is formed from the Crozet precinct voters south of the railroad tracks, combined with voters from the northeast corner of the Batesville precinct of the Samuel Miller District. Ms. Harris said in summary, the plan essentially eliminates the Commonwealth, North Garden, April 11, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 5) Batesville and Covesville precincts and creates Laurel Hill, Dunlora, Georgetown, Sunset Extended, Red Hill, Stone Robinson, Burnley and Brownsville. There is a net gain of four precincts. The County is going from 22 precincts to 26 precincts. There has been some discussion at the State level of the Farmington/Flordon area and the needs associated with it. There has been some discussion that it might be fruitful for the County to create a precinct to serve these individuals. The State desires that this area th remain in the 58 House of Delegates District. Those communities have been attached to a precinct that is th currently in the 57 House of Delegates District. Ms. Harris stated that she would be happy to entertain any questions the Board might have. Mr. Perkins asked the reason for moving the Free Union precinct. Ms. Harris responded that the County had been using the dance hall. The hall has an unpaved parking lot as well as being a bit difficult to identify. Newcomers to the area usually have some difficulty finding the building. The church, however, has added a paved drive area as well as a handicapped access ramp to its facility. There is also a lot of signage on the road. Ms. Humphris asked about the timetable for the plan. Ms. Harris replied that staff expects to have th these polling places and precincts adopted on May 9 as part of the ordinance. Staff is working with outstanding polling places to get agreements in place. Ms. Humphris asked Ms. Harris to refresh her memory on how and when voters are notified. Ms. Harris stated that these precincts will not take effect until th after the June 12 primary. Following the primary the County will be required to notify, in writing, by sending a new voting card with a letter of explanation to every effected voter in the County. There will also be posters. Ms. Thomas asked if there are other deadlines that need to be considered. Ms. Harris stated that the County needs Department of Justice approval for these changes. There is the potential for an August stnd 21 primary. The County will not know until July 2 which is the deadline for party chairmen to notify the State Board of Elections of their intent to hold a primary on that date. Since there are so many districts that may end up being part of Albemarle County, staff is watching to see if there is a fall primary develop-ing. Ms. Thomas stated that Ms. Harris recently attended a meeting in Richmond and asked if she had anything to report back from that meeting. Ms. Harris stated that she spoke to the General Assembly to express the County’s concerns over the number of changes in Albemarle County as well as the pattern of growth that has caused the County to create some fairly significant precinct changes. She informed the General Assembly that the County is aware that the Assembly is not currently using the County’s adopted precincts and magisterial district lines in their proposed plans and that would result in a number of split precincts that would then need to be corrected at a later date. She also made the Assembly aware of the Census count issue that the County has been dealing with and how that might effect the State’s counts. Ms. Harris noted that there was also a legislative aide who spoke to the concerns of Albemarle County at that meeting. The County’s only hope for current consideration of its adopted polling precincts and magisterial district changes is to have the current Republican delegate propose a plan that would work for the County. Ms. Thomas said that the School Board Chairman asked if the Board of Super-visors would join them in sending a letter to the County’s congressional delegation requesting that the Census corrections be made sooner rather than later. Ms. Harris stated that it is not likely to come into play in this particular scenario because the General Assembly must present its plan to the Department of Justice for pre-clearance which is a 60-day process at best. The County should be able to have some information regarding the misallocated population. Ms. Thomas thanked Ms. Harris and staff for their efforts and her representation of the County in Richmond. Ms. Harris thanked the Planning Department, specifically Damon Pettitt who helped with the maps. Mr. Dorrier asked if the Census were to shift 5000 people back into the County, if it would effect any of the proposed districts. Ms. Harris stated that she doubted that such a shift would require any local changes. Mr. Davis stated that the action the Board should consider is to authorize staff to prepare an th ordinance reflecting Plan C, the precincts as proposed and the polling places for public hearing on May 9. Mr. Martin moved that the Board authorize staff to prepare an ordinance reflecting Plan C, precincts and polling places as proposed for public hearing on May 9, 2001. The motion was seconded by Ms. Humphris. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded votes: AYES:Ms. Humphris, Mr. Martin, Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Bowerman and Mr. Dorrier. NAYS:None. ____________________ Agenda item No. 9. Appointments. In response to correspondence received from the Clerk's office, Ms. Humphris stated that she is not aware of any criteria to use in determining the terms for the CHART Advisory Committee. Ms. Humphris then moved that the Planning Commission member serve the one year term, that Shirley Midyette and Nickolas Sojke serve the two year term and that Ann Mallek and Milton Moore serve the three year term. The motion was seconded by Mr. Martin. April 11, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 6) Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded votes: AYES:Ms. Humphris, Mr. Martin, Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Bowerman and Mr. Dorrier. NAYS:None. _________________ Agenda Item No. 10. Approval of Minutes: February 7, February 14, and February 21, 2001. Ms. Humphris had read the minutes of February 7, 2001, pages 19 - 34 (Item #13) and gave several typographical corrections to the Clerk. No other minutes were read. Ms. Humphris moved approval of the minutes as read. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bowerman. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded votes: AYES:Ms. Humphris, Mr. Martin, Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Bowerman and Mr. Dorrier. NAYS:None. __________________ Agenda Item No. 11. From the Board: Matters not Listed on the Agenda. Ms. Humphris referred to a letter from Mr. John Moore regarding the Board’s action on the Route 22/231 truck traffic, where the Board requested that VDOT do an origin and destination study. When she read the letter she was reminded that an origin and destination study would involve stopping each vehicle on the road and having the driver fill out a form or answer questions. She said that Ms. Thomas noted that as soon as truckers know such a study is being done they will avoid that particular route. Ms. Humphris asked that the Board reconsider this issue at its May 2nd meeting under transportation. Mr. Martin said that reconsideration is certainly possible but that the Board is doing everything it legally can do. Ms. Humphris stated that the thrust of the letter is that by asking VDOT to do an origin and destination study, the County is allowing VDOT to spin its wheels and not accomplish anything. Mr. Martin responded that to not ask means that the issue is done with and that VDOT is not going to do anything different. Ms. Humphris stated that it is true what Mr. Moore says in his letter that if the County cannot pull the trucks over to enforce the law, how can it have a place to do the origin and destination study on the road. She expressed her concern that there are flaws in what the Board decided. Mr. Bowerman suggested that the Board ask VDOT to make nd comments at the May 2 meeting. Mr. Tucker said that staff had already requested the origin and destination study and that staff could probably contact Jim Bryan, the Resident Engineer, for comments. ____________ Ms. Humphris mentioned a note from Ms. Gene Smith, a County representative on the JABA Board, regarding JABA, Inc., amending its Articles of Incorporation. She asked what affect this had on the County. Mr. Tucker suggested the County Attorney review the document to see if there are any implications. ____________ At 8:00 p.m., Mr. Bowerman moved that the Board go into closed session pursuant to Section 2.1- 344(A) of the Code of Virginia to consult with legal counsel and staff regarding matters of probable and pending litigation regarding the Ivy Landfill and a denial of a site plan. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dorrier. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded votes: AYES:Ms. Humphris, Mr. Martin, Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Bowerman and Mr. Dorrier. NAYS:None. ____________ At 8:50 p.m., the Board reconvened into open session. Motion was offered by Mr. Bowerman, seconded by Ms. Humphris, to certify by a recorded vote that to the best of each Board members knowledge only public business matters lawfully exempted from the open meeting requirements = of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and identified in the motion authorizing the closed session were heard, discussed or considered in the closed session. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded votes: AYES:Ms. Humphris, Mr. Martin, Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Bowerman and Mr. Dorrier. NAYS:None. __________________ Agenda Item No. 12. Adjourn. At 8:50 p.m., there being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was immediately adjourned.
