Region Ten Capital Request
Region Ten has requested a contribution of $150000 from Albemarle County toward
the purchase and renovation of the Nations Bank Regional Operations Center on
Preston Avenue, which will serve as the operational headquarters for all of Region
Ten's programs in Charlottesville and Albemarle. Phase II of the project, which
Albemarle is being specifically asked to support, will add a second floor to provide
an additiSnal '10,000 square feet to the 20,000 §q~are foot building. This will allow
Region Ten to have sufficient space for all current central functions, as well as
anticipated future needs. Region Ten services were previously located in the Mactdin
Building and the United Way building, which has recently been sold.
Phase II of the renovation wilt cost approximately $1 million dollars, the projected
revenues coming from the following revenue sources:
Peny Foundation matching grant
Donations/fund rais'mg
City of Charlottesville
County of Albemarle
$500,000
200,000
150,000
150,000
$1~oo, ooo
The attached sheets (pages 4-7) from Region Ten's director provide additional
information on the project design and the County's requested contribution. If
supported by the Board, the County's contribution could be spread out in two
$75,000 payments across fiscal years. Any funding by the County should be
confmgent on fuming by the City of Charlottesville.
Jefferson Board for Aeine Canital Reouest
The Jefferson Boar&for Aging submitted a capital request to Albemarle County last
year for the proposed new adult health care facility. The request was discussed by the
Board at the March 1 and April 5, 1995 meetings, both of which executive summaries
have been attached (pages 8-13). At the April meeting, the Board agreed that any
contribution from the County would be based on the County's percentage of senior
residents, as well as being contingent on JABA securing comparable contributions
from the other localities. Based on Albemarle's share of the over 60 population at
36%, the County's share of the $200,000 request to the localities is $72,000. To
date, it is our understanding that none of the localities have committed funds to this
project.
Attached on page 15 is a January 30 request from JABA to be included in the
County's capital budget process.

At-Risk Four Year Old Funds
The Governor' budget, approved by the 1996 Legislature, allocates an additional
$23.1 million in FY 96/97 and $23.5 million in FY 97/98 to serve 60% of the
underserved at-risk four year olds in the Commonwealth. Through this initiative,
Albemarle County is eligible to receive $122,743 in at-risk four year old funds,
approximately $38,000 of which will be drawn down for the Bright Stars program at
Stone Robinson. The Bright Stars state program funds have already been matched by
$36,000 in local funds in the Department of Social Services budget. The remaining
State dollars may be drawn down by the County with a local match based on the
composite index, 25% of which may be matched by in-kind services.
The state estimates that Albemarle County has 58 at-risk four year olds, who are
currently not being served by a Head Start program or Title I funds. Sixteen of these
children are being served by the Bright Stars Program, a collaborative effort between
the school division, social services and many other community agencies that has
developed a cost effective and exciting four-year old program. To replicate this
program, the state estimates a total cost of $5,400 per child which breaks down in the
following funding ratio:
Total Program Cost ~ $5,400/child x 16 $86,400
Local share ~ .6081 (composite index) -- $52,539
25% in-kind $13,135
Local Dollar support = $39,405
State share ~.3919 = $33,860
The largest unserved area for at-risk four year olds is in the urban area, served by
Agnor Hurt and Cn, eer Elementary schools. Establishing a program similar to Bright
Stars at either one 0fthese elementary schools would require a County commitment
of $39,405.
Attached for your i~formation is a fact sheet t~om the Virginia Preschool Initiative
and an updated fact sheet on the Bright Stars program (pages 16-17 and 18).

Dear Chairman Humphris and Mayor Toscano:
The Region Ten Community Services Board was established as a agency of
local government by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors and the
Charlottesville City Council twenty-seven years ago. Although the original
planning called for the' construction of a central community mental health
facility, the pressures to develop and implement services, and the lack of a
suitable site, resulted in Region Ten moving from various leased sites to other
leased sites for over two and one-half decades. Numerous potential permanent
sites were investigated, but all were found to be inappropriate due to one
factor or another (lack of accessibility, insuffident space, excessive expense,
etc.). There was even some mutual exploratory consideration ofjoining with
Albemarle County as it planned for the renovation of the Lane High School
Building, but a perceived lack of adequate space project-wide curtailed the
further l~rsuit of that possib'flity. The same was assumed for the various
expansionh of the City Hall complex.
In March, 1995, the Natiomltank Regional Operations Center/Preston Avenue
Branch Bank was placed on the market for sale. The location, accessibility,
parking, and general appearance of the facility met all of Region Ten's criteria
for a permanent site. Region Ten obtained au option on the property and
commissioned a feasib'flity study to determine if the existing 20,000 square foot
structure could support the addition of a 10,000 square foot second floor.
This would then provide adequate space for all of Region Ten's current central
functions as well as allowing for antidpated future needs. The initial plan was
to undertake the entke project at one time. Because it was necessary to
exercise, the purchase option by August or lose the project entirely, the hoard
of Region Ten decided to divide the project into two phases. The first phase
would include the axxtulsition and renovation of.the existing facility, and the
second phase would add the second floor to building.

The relevance and imm~_acy of Region Ten s quest for a permanent home were dramatized
when the United Way announced that it was selling the Won'eH Building, where two-thirds
of Region Ten's central services have been housed for the past ten years.
Region Ten's private, not-for-profit affiliate corporation, Region Ten, Inc., executed a
purchase agreement_ with NationsBank, seimred a construction mortgage and permanent
mortgage for Phase I from/efferson National Bank, applied for and was awarded a $500,000
challenge grant from the Pexry Foundation, and negotiated a design/build contract with R. E.
Lee & Son, Inc. Relocation to the Phase I space will take place the last week of this month.
Remaining programs and stalt'will be relocated to newly leased space at 706 Forest Street
until Phase II is completed.
The total project cost for both phases is $2,785,000 ($880,000 acquisition; $90,000 legal,
other fees, bond expenses, surveys, appralsals~ site planning, environmental studies, etc.;
$1,480,000 improvements; $335,000 telephone and data communications and equipment).
To date, Region Ten has raised $80,000 toward the required $500,000 Perry Foundation
challenge matching grant. It is anticipated that an additional $120,000 can be raised through
private contributions prior to the December 30, 1996, Perry Foundation deadline. Equally
important, a portion of the match funding is needed now to continue into Phase H. The
current request_is for an ailbc~tion from both Albemarle County and the City of
Charlottesville in the mount oi' $!50,000 each, of which at least half is requested in the
current, fiscal year to ~ cash flow ~lUirements.- This, combined with ~tie anticipated
$200,000 in private contributions, 'will provide a sufficient base in order to amortize the
remaining balance of $1,785,000 through bank-qualified tax free bonds.
Please advise us as to what additional information you will need in order to proceed with the
consideration of this request.

Region Ten currently has a conventional mortgage through Jefferson National
Bank to support the Phase I acquisition and renovation (upfltting the basement
and existing main floor). As soon as a local commitment can be secured to match
the $500,000 Perry Foundation challenge grant ($200,000 private contributions,
$150,000 each ~om Albemarle and Charlottesville), then constmctiun of a full
second story will begin. Bank qualified revenue bonds for the total, final
permanent mortgage will be Sought from one of the four participating rural
localities ifconstmction is authorized in the current calendar year. If the schedule
?ushes over gtast January 1, 1997, then the allocation of the $1.8 million in bank
qualified rev0aue bonds will be sought through the City's $10,000,000 annual
allocation. In either event. Jefferson National Bank will convert fi:om the
conventional mortgage to the lower interest revenue bond rate.
Project expenses necessary to support the ongoing operations of the new facility
are as follows:
(1) loan amortization 155,000
(2) City real estate taxes 20,000

Revenues to suppo/~ th[ ope-r~tional expenses outlined abbv'e are currently in Region
Ten's budget. Each program cost center, including board administration, the program
operational divisions (mental health, mental retardation, and substance abuse
services), and the forty individual service programs, support the facility expense for
their separate facilities and/or the central fac'flity, depending upon actual fac'dity usage.
Prior to the move to 800 Preston Avenue (and newly leased space at 706 Forest
Street to accommodate the remaining staff who can not at this fane fit into the
basement and main floor of Preston), the programs affected were housed in the
Worrell and Maclin Buildings on East Market Street, and mental retardation
residential staffworked out of their cars and would jump from one meeting space to
another throughout the city depending upon space availability. The revenues
currently supporting all of these inadequate fac'flity arrangements will cover the
operational expenses of the facility, and are included in the proposed FY 97 budget
that was submitted to the localities in December.
Region Ten's budget will not be directly affected in either direction by this
consolidation and improvement of facilities. Indirectly, efficiency and quality of
service is expected to be impacted very favorably, and in this way, program costs
could decline, and program revenues increase, but the extent of these enhancements
can not be predicted until actual experience is gained.
Please let me know if you need any additional information (972-1810). As I believe
I mentioned to you earlier, I will be out ofthe state during the week of March I I, and
so I would like to respond tb any questions prior to that date if possible.

INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND:
Attached please find a summary letter detailing a request from thc Jefferson Board for Aging for $100,000 to help them build a new facility,
the Thomas Jefferson Adult Healthcare Center. wbich will be located on Hillsdale Drive in Albemarle County. This request is part of
JABA's $2 million dollar capital campaign to raise funds to purchase land and construct an expanded facility for adult health care and other
client and family services provided by JABA.
DISCUSSION:
In response to JABA's attached requesS, staffhas considered thc following issues:
· The County has historically not been in a position to fired capitol requests from non-profit agencies. Funding this request would set a
precedent for other non-profit agencies.
· Most non-profit capital campaigns have gone to thc comnnmily and foundations for support, not to a public entity, ie. SHE, Focus,
Salvation Army, AID's Support Group.
· In the County's role as a provider of operating cosls for human service agencies, the County is already supporting individuals using
JABA's Adult Day Care Center through scholarships. By supporting services, rather than a building, the County can be assured that
taxpayer dollars are being used to_assist those wh~. cammt afford the services. Subsidizing the total facility does not assure assistance to
lhose most in need. x
· JABA's philosophy has been to advocate for mom dcccnmflizcd sen, ices, or bringing services to the elderly at scattered sites, rather than
attempting to bring mml citizens into a central urban setting. This type of center seems to fly in the face of this philosophy.
· The proposal states that the facility will be there for "residents of retirement communities and members of the Senior Center in need of
physical, occupational or speech therapy", ls this facility to be used for current Albemarle County residents or will it be used in lieu of
services that should be offered at the growing number of renrcment facilities coming in to the community?
Since the Center projects serving approximately 3t) pcople aunually, the question arises on the substantial ta.~l~dyer investment for such
a small number of individuals.
· Many of the services, ~e. games, reading, crofts, television, seem duplicative of the servmes offered by the Senior Center. another new
large facility only blocks away.
..RECOMMENDATION:
Staff does not recommend lhat the Connty contribute $1e0.000 to JABA's capital campaign for the reasons stated above. Rati~er, staff
recommends that the County's role cominue to be ouc of mrgcfiug and supporting specific programs for current Coumy residents who
cannot help themselves and need taxpayer sapport. A full copy of JABA's proposal is available ff Board members ~vish to review it prior to
the meeting.

Dear Roxanne,
1994
Thank you fo~ your recommendation that we include, in
addition to the enclosed program review, a letter and proposal
for support for JABA's Capital Campaign. We greatly appreciate
the opportunity to submit a special request to the.County of
Albemarle for $100,000 to help JABA construct a new buildinq for
its Thomas Jefferson Adult Healthcare Center, which will be
located on Hillsdale Drive in Albemarle County.
~bout the New Healthcare Center
After careful research and planning, the Jefferson Area
Board for Aging has decided to launch a $2,000,000 Capital
Campaign. These funds will be used to purchase a parcel of land
and to construct a state-of-the-art facility that will bring
nearly all of JABA's client and family services under one roof.
This expanded facility will give adult day care, and other key
services, the space they so dearly need, while making them more
accessible to the people who need them.
Located in~Albemarl~ County near Fashion Square Mall and
Route 29 North, the new Thomas Jefferson Adult Healthcare Center
(TJAHC) will help fill the growing void of health care and
therapeutic recreation services for adults and their families who
desire and need a less costly alternative to live-in
institutional care, especially citizens of Albemarle County.
Crucial Benefits for Albemarle County Residents
In the attached proposal, we refer to Planning D~str~c~ Ten
(PDX) as the "Charlottesville Area"; and we include key
statistics about the future growth of our area's elderly and
their risks for institutionalization. It is in Albemarle County,
however, that we see the stronqes~ trend of qrowth among the
elderly --- and, correspondingly, both the greatest current use
and future need for the healthcare center.
Serving Older Citizens and their Families in Charlottesville. Albemarle, Fluvanna. Greene, Louisa and Nelson
Page 2 of 4
During the 19~0's, the rate of growth of the Albemarle
County population was the highest in PDX and twice the national
average. As cited on page 9 of the Community Profile,
Charlottesville and Albemarle County, February 1994 (Appendix F),
"Over the next two decades, the largest increase (in Albemarle)
is expected to occur in the 45-64 and 65+ age groups, as the baby
boom generation continues to age."
~t"dur current Thomas Jefferson Adult]Hmalthcare Center on
East Market Street, we hav~ already begun to see the impact of'
these population trends in Albemarle County. During our last
fiscal year (October 1993 September 1994), 42% of all TJAHC
clients were residents of Albemarle County. Additionally, while
all the day care scholarship money for Albemarle residents was
being utilized at the end of last year, we entered our current
fiscal year with a waiting list of additi6~ai low-i~come
Albemarle adults in need of scholarship ca~e~
Also, in regards to Albemarle County's use of other JABA
services (to be housed in the new Center)... Over the past year,
Albemarle County residents demonstrated the highest use of our
Case Management and Personai ~Care and the second highest use of
our Home Care and Home Safety Programs --- all of which are
crucial services to avoid institutionalization and to protect the
well-being of family units.
About the Location
For the past two years, JABA has searched throughout
Charlottesville and Albemarle County for suitable land. In our
search, we worked with Charlottesville and Albemarle government
officials and the local retirement communities to consider land
options under their jurisdiction. We also considered a number of
potential properties in the private real estate market.
After careful evaluation of all of our options, we have
found the Hillsdale Driv~ location (which is being offered for
sale by the Virginia Lan~ Company) to be the most economic
location. With its proximity to the most-used corridor in the
PDX for shopping, entertainmenn and work, it is also the most
convenient and beneficial location, overall, for access by
residents of all of Planning District.
In particular, its location in the highest growth area.of
Albemarle County will m~ke the new Center more convenient g~
Albemarle residents than its current location near downtown
Charlottesville. Its closeness to the Senior Center, Inc., two
successful retiremen~ communities (Our Lady of Peace and
Branchlands), and such ma-or businesses such as Comdial and GE
Fanuc make the Hiltsdale location an exceptionally promising one
for ready support to the elderly and their caregivers, living
and/or working in Albemarle Count~.

About the Capital Campaiqn
Over the past three years, careful research has gone into
assessing the potential success of JABA's first Capital Campaign.
In October, 1993, JABA staged a feasibility study to examine the
support we could expect from the community for this critical
effort. We interviewed 100 key community leaders and potential
major donors and received a strong vote of ~upport for building a
new, ~t~e-of-the-~r~ adult,healthcare cente~.
In keeping with sound capital campaign practices, our list
of major potential donors contains over 300 names, including the
100 interviewees of the study, all of our current major
supporters of the agency, and an additional 200 key potential
donors recommended by JABA's Volunteer Leadership.
Additionally, during the course of th~ Campaign (June 1994 -
June 1997), JABA will approach its entire list of prior donors,
which includes over 3200 individuals, businesses, and other
organizations who have invested in the elderly and JABA in the
past. In particular, we have established a list of 25 potential
major donors (5 individuals, 5 foundations, and 20 businesses) to
whom we are planning proposals for between $5000 - $300,000 and
whose anticipated gifts total between $699,000 and $1,000,000.
The results of the first six months of the first year of the
Campaign (June 1994 - November 1994) have been positive. We are
pleased to report that we anticipate having approximately
$223,833 of the total goal of $2,000,000 in hand by March 31,
1995 (see Appendix G, "Currently Received, Pledged and Pending
Gifts"). In particular, we are pleased to report a pending
anonymous gift of $425,000 to be received in the second year of
the campaign.
Planning for the Future: A Time Sensitive Opportunity
As is documented in,the attached proposal, the need 'for the
new adult healtScare cen~r is enormous. After exhaustive
research, JABA has found an excellent location and is in the
process of successful proposals for funding towards the purchase
of the land. The greatest portion of the goal, however, is for
the construction of the new facility. It is towards th~
$1,125,000 needed for the. "bricks and mortar" of the new Thomas
Jefferson Adult Healthcare Center that we are requesting
Albemarle County's support. ~ _
We understand that this is an unprecedented proposal from
our agency, but we trust that the County will agree that access
to a convenient, e~panded, "one-stop-shopping" adult healthcare
center will be a tremendous benefit to Albemarle residents and to
its many employers' wor~ing caregivers.

In 1975, Albemarle County's foresight resulted in its
joining with the other jurisdictions of PDX to create the
Jefferson Area Board for Aging. Now, twenty years later, another
critical trend-setting opportunity to prepare for the future has
arisen.
The enclosed proposal describes exactly why the new center
is n~e~9~ as soon as possible. However, since statistics and
graphs can only telL par~t qf the story, we-b ave also included
some anecdotes about %we residents of Albemarle County whose
lives have been touched by the existing Center.
If there are any other materials that you may need in
regards to this proposal, we would be happy to provide them.
Thank you so much for your consideration a~nd we look forward to
hearing from you soon. ~ -

BACKGROUND:
At its March 3 meeting the Board reviewed a request from the Jefferson Area Board for Aging to contribute $100,000 to JABA's capital
campaign to build a new adult day care center on Hillsdale Drive. Before making a decision on the funding request,-the Board requested
that staff review the 1975 Joint Exercise of Power Agreement signed by IABA and the six jurisdictions in Planing District~Ten Io
determine the extent of the County's responsibilities to provide funding for JABA and ff that responsibility, as defined by the agreement, is
different than that between the County and other non-profit agencies.
DISCUSSION:
The 1975 Joint Exercise of Power Agreement bet~en ,IABA and the six jurisdictions in Planning-District 10 sets out certain conditions
under which JABA, the local governing bodies and the Planning District Commission agree to jointly address the needs and con.ms of
older persons in Planning District Ten. Several sections of the agreement, which are highlighted below, are pertin~r~t to the funding
question for the Adult Day Care Center. Equally important, however, are several other sections of the agreement that pertain to JABA's
responsib~ities for planning, implementation and evaluation of programs for the elderly and to JABA's responsibilities to the Thomas
Jefferson Planning District Commission.
Related to the counVfs financial obligations to JAB~ Section 6 of the agreement states:
The Board shall be supported financially by grants 'from the Federal government, administered by the I'Trginia Office on 'Aging: and by
contributions from member jurisdictions. The Board shah request annually of each member governi, ng body an appropriation of funds to
cover, in part, costs of regional projects and administration, to be determined according to the ratio of senior citizens (a~ed 60 ~nd over)
in each jurisdiction to the total number of senior citizens in the District.
SABA by,this agreement is authorized to request an appropriation of funds from the County and the County has a responsibility to
contribute. However, the agreement does not stipulate that the county is responsible for unything more than a Contribution to JABA'$
operations, nor is the Coumy required to contribnte a specific amount. By the language in this a~greemeht, ' JABA has a different
relationship to the county than other non-profit ageacles, because a signed agreement states that JABA will submit a request and that the
county will provide a contribution. Other non-profit agencies do not have any such agreement, but simply make an annual request for funds.
The County does provide a contribution to JABA through its general program operations budget, although the share has historically been
based on a combination of thc percentage of the population of persons over 60 and the number of actual persons sewed, rather than only the
percentage of population as stated in the agreement. Albemarle's share of the elderly population is 36% Our share of general operations
based on population and number served is i0%.
Outside of general program support, contributions to specific programs are addressed in Section 5, B and C:
B. a specific project or pass through shall have been approved in writing for implementation through the Jefferson Board.for Aging by the
two or more member jurisdictions who desire to participate. Since implementation of the project shah apply only to those jurisdictions
approving their participation, any additional costs to the Board arising from such projec~ and not otherwise compensating for, shall be
borne by the 'urisdictions involved
C. The method of agreement, the obligations a~d the local financial participation shall be set forth in the annual proposed budget and
scope of work prepared by the Board and authorized specifically by each constituent governing body of each jurisdiction.
Beyond the financial responsibilities, specific planning, evaluating and reporting mechanisms outlined for JABA in the original agreeraem
are no longer being carried out, not through fault or non-compliance, but simply due to the passage of time. Revisiting the agreement, it is
clear that JABA was strongly linked to the Planning District Commission to develop and coordinate services according to a regional plan
that is no longer in place. The tack of an uptated comprehensive plan may be part of what oi~en causes the programs and priorities of
JABA to be in conflict with the needs and wishes of the jurisdictions. For example, Section 2 states:
The Board (Jefferson Area Board forAgingt will function to operate such programs and/or to provide such services as agreed upon by the
participating jurisdictions in order to implement the annual Comprehensive Plan for Aging Services of the Thomas Jefferson Planning
District, hereinafter referred to as 'District~, Currently, programs and services are not agreed upon by the jurisdictions, except through the
budget process, _and .~e~re is no annual Comprehensive Plan for Aging Services prepared by JABA or the Thomas Jefferson Planning
District Commission.' - ~ - - : ~
Section 5 states: The Board shah oversee and be responsible for both the operation of such locally approved regional projects, and the
pass through of Federal and State funds as may be consistent with the annual Comprehensive Plan for Aging Services.
The Board shall carry out these duties subject to each of the following conditions:
A. The project or pass through of funds shall have been reviewed and approved by ~e Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission and
its Advisory Council on Aging as being consistent with the current Comprehensiv~ Plan for Aging Services and ali other regional plans
and policies as they may be relevant.
D. projects undertaken by or through~he Board shah include arrangements for evaluation by the staff of the Thomas Jefferson Planing
District Commission.
JABA is responsible for the pass through of federal and state funds that would otherwise come to each locality in the district ($1.7 million
in FY 1995-96). Currently no comprehensive plan shows how these funds should be distributed among localities and concern has been
raised by both the Program Review committee and the Social Development Commission about the equity of federal and state funds
allocated to regional programs. Again, by default, tABA has been making decisions about the distribution of those funds and programs
throughout the region without the input and agreement of the pardcilx~ting jurisdictions
These procedures and policies laid out by the Joint Exercise of Power Agreement arc brought to the Board's attention to point out that the
original agreement ne~xts to be revisited by the localities to determine if these procedures and policies are still valid or if they need to be
revised to meet today's needs and priorities. Renewing this agreement would foster abetter understanding ofprogcam dtlivery and funding
respons~i!itic~ between JABA and the six jurisdictions in the Plaaniag District.
RECOMMENDATION~
Although the Joint Exercise of Power Agreement does not obligate the County to contribute to JABA's programs or facilities, should the
Board wish to make a centribution,.,staff__ would reco~nend__ that any ~onffibotion to the Adult Day Care Cente~ be:
· on a per capita basis based on the number of Couhty residents over the ago of 60 (9162 in the 1990 census.)
· spread out over a three year period;
· placed in a contingency fund, contingent on matching contributions from the other localities.
Based on the clear responsibilities and procedures laid out in the 1975 agreement, staff wouid recommend that the County take the !cad in
n~lUesting that the Thomas JefferSOn Planning District Commission convene the six jurisdictions to review and rorise, if necessary, the
initial agreement in order to clari~ the roles and responsibilities of both JABA and the local governing_bodies. ' '

Gordon Walke~
January 30, 1996
We have requested a contribution toward the new day care center
from each jurisdiction, based on a looal share formula. They
have either said no or have decided to defer a decision until
their annual budget process is completed. Consequently, we will
not hear from some until late spring.
I remain pessimistic about our chances. The jurisdictions having
a negative reaction are not in favor of putting dollars into a
oapital~project outside their county, preferring to invest in a
local project. It is not unreasonable to expect the same results
from the other jurisdictions.
Am I to understand that Albemarle will only obligate funds if the
other local governments do so? I know we were encouraged to
pursue support from ea~ and report ba~k. Can we proceed with
our Albemarle ~equest as~part of the County's capital budget
process?
Thank you for your response to these questions.

VIRGINIA PRESCHOOL INITIATIVE
I
In January 1994, a Legislative Commission on Equity in Public Education recommended the
establishment of state funded preschool programs for four-year-olds who are at-risk.
Based on that recommendation, the 1994 Vh-ginia General Assembly committed $10.3 million
to-help localities roach unserved four-year-old children who are at-risk for school failure.
The $10.3 million was available on July 1, 1995 for preschool programs to serve thirty
~:cent of the at-osk~ four-year-?Ids. . who were not bein~ served by Head Start and Title I in
1993.
Funding is in the amount of $5,400 per child. Program costs will be shared by the state and
localities based on the Composite index.
To obtain state funding, each program must include five componems:
quality preschool education (as defined by):
CUrriculum designed to address the learning needs of young children
group size limit of 16, child/staff'ration of 6:1
qualified staff
minimum of school day, school year
plan for in service training
plan for home-school communication
assessment procedures
parental involvement
comprehensive child health services
comprehensive social services
transportation
Each locality is expected to coordinate resources to serve the greatest number children.
Funds were a_warded by thl[ Department of Education to localities to:
· establish new programs
· purchase services in existing programs or purchase certain services
· expand or improve the quality of existing programs
Programs may be operated by the public schools or commanity-based organizations.
Oftho 134 localities in the state, 102 were identified to have unserved four-year-olds. 68 of
the 102 applied for funding. 65 of the 68 programs were funded (two withdrew and one was
denied).
$8.3 million of the $10.3 million was awarded.
2,536 of the targeted 3,411 children (74%) are being served (each locality had a specified
number of children to serve), 28 of the 65 localities are serving a total of 172 extra children
at no additional cost to the state.

Student demographics:
Mate 1,341 Caucasian 733 26%
Female 1,366 Asian 70
African American 1,711 63%
Hispanic 40 1%
Other Ethnicity 143 5%
School divisions were identified as the lead agency in 53 localities (subsequently some of
ifi~se then subcqntracted_t0 other agencies); the Depa~rtment of Social Services is the lead
agency in 3 locahttes; Head Start Is ~dentified as the Lead Agency in 3 localities; and, the
YMCA or other c/)mmunity agencies provide leadership in the other 5 localities.
78% (170) of the classrooms are located in the public schools while 17% (39) are found in
day care centers, The remaining 5% (10) are located in other community-operated buildings.
Of the 219 classrooms serving Virginia Preschool initiative students:
1-35 (62%) of the classes serve only Virginia Preschool initiative children;
15 (8%) classes are working with Early Childhood Special Education;
11 (5%) are combined with Head Start;
6 0%) are working with Title I;
35 (15%) are combined with children paying tuition; and,
the remaining 16 (7%) are various combinations.
92% of the teachers have a college degree (24% have a Master's degree and 69% have a
Bachelor' s degree).
A survey of non-participating localities revealing the reasons for non-participation were:
· lack of local cash match
* low number of funded students
* _ lack of spa~e
21 of the 34 non-participating localities were funded for less than 7 children.
63% of the unserved children are in four localities.
The 1996 legislature has appropriated $23.1 million to serve 60% of the unserved children
during 1996-97 and another $23.5 million for 1997-98.
Applications will be distributed in March to all eligible localities.

BRIGHT STARS FOUR-YEAR OLD PROGRAM
The Bright Stars Program for at-risk fouryear olds is hal~vay through its first year of operation, housed in a mobile classroom at Stone-
Rob'mson Elementmy School and serving 16 children from the Stone-Robinson attendance zone. The program has been designed and is
governed by a Board that represents, not only the school, but a number of community agencies, including the Health Department, Social
Se~ices, Children Youth and Family Services, MACAA, the CACY Commission and the County Executive's Office. All of these
agencies are making important contributions of time, services and expertise to the program.
Children were identified for Bright Stars using a set of risk factors as criteria. Some are from low-income families and some have health
conditions that affect their ability to leant Many are from single-parent families. In the Bright Stars program, these children participate
in a wide range of activities that are helping to maximize their chances for success m school. They are learning to use oral language to
communicate clearly and effectively with other children and with adults. They are using materials for all kinds of productive play. They
eat lunch in a family-style setting, where they practice appropriate eating behaviors and conversation. The class has taken many local
field trips that have been beneficial to the'cliildren~in avariety of ways. - ~
Parents and families are also included in the program. Regular family nights are scheduled to give families oppommities to meet, have
dinner and socialize together. Parent nights, where programs related to child development and parenting are presented, are also well
attended.
The Bureau of Educational Research at the University of Virginia' s Cuny School of Education is conducting an evaluation of the Bright
Stars program. A preYnninary report of this evaluation will be available soon after the end of the school year, although the evaluation
process will continue as the children enter kindergarten and progress through the elementary grades.
The evaluation process £ocnses on three areas:
The children and the classroom: In this area, the program is looking at the degree to which the children demonstrate readiness
to enter kindergarten, as well as their proficiency in oral language skills
The families and the community services: The evaluation looks at the degree to which parents become involved in the program
and the extent to which they continue to partnership with the school as their children grow. The availability of community
services to families through Bright Stars is also be'rog evaluated.
The collaborative mtere of the project.' The focus of this evaluation component is on the extent to which several agencies working
together are able to coordinate and effectively deliver services to families using Bright Stars as a central po'mt of contact.
.FY 1995-96 statistical information:
The program received 22 applications and 17 children were accepted. Currently, there are 16 children in the program.
Qualifying characteristics of the children:
low income - 13
single parent -6
health issues -5
agency referrals- 2
at-risk older siblings - 8
14 out of 15 families have been involved in either monthly family nights, volunteering in the classroom, or volunteering on field
trips
· 20 non-parent volunteers have taught a total of 226 hours in the classroom
6 parents have volunteered on a regular basis in the classroom for a total of 50 hours, despite the fact that in 11 of the 15
families, the parent(s) work full-time,
· 12 parents have requested an application for the next school year
· home visits were made to all of the Bright Stars families.

FY 1996-97 - FY 2000-01 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The proposed FY 1996-97 - FY 2000-01 Capital Improvement Program that you reviewed
at your December 6 worksession and received public comment on at the March 6 public
hearing has three proposed revisions to consider and approve before final adoption:
Proposed Revision~ . .r ,
Under Highway a~nd Transportation projects, $46,600 has been added to the Ivy Road Bike
Lane and Streetlight project based on a new understanding of the County's matching
requirements for ISTEA funds. This is shown as a change under Highways and
Transportation from $514,400 to $561,000 on page 20. The revised project sheet is also
included as page 21.
Under the Revenue section for General Government and School Division on page 20, you
will see the addition of the $500,000 transfer from the general fund, $46,600 to the General
Government Fund to cover the increased cost of the Ivy Road project and the remaining
$453,400 to the general fired transfer to the School Division Fund to provide additional local
revenues to cover the costs of school maintenance and repair projects. The FY 96/97 VPSA
borrowed funds, which would have been used to fund the maintenance-and repair projects,
have been reduced by the same amount.
Under the School Division CIP Fund Projects (page 22), several changes are being
proposed that will transfer dollars between projects, but will not change the bottom line
funded amount. Based on substantially higher construction bid estimates on aeven large
school renovations, four other school projects are being reduced.
Reduced project budgets of $1,353,485 include $248,000 fromPhaseI chiller replacements,
$594,000 from roofing replacements, $186,485 from ADA structural changes, and $325,000
from Phase I of the Technology Labs. In mm, $313,485 has been added to the WAILS
renovation, $2.05,000 to Wo~dbrook, $179,000 to Cale, $262,000 to Brownsville, $142,000
to Crozet, $132,000 to Stony Point, and $30,000 to Yancey. A letter from A1Reaser,
Director of Building Services, is attached for further clarification of these proposed changes.
The proposed FY 1996-97 - FY 2000-01 CIP budget totals $80,140,120, $46,600 above your
worksession version. TheFY 1996-97 CIP budget will be $25,269,827~

Pro~ect Description:
Construct shared bike lanes and install streetlights along the
Ivy Road Corridor (Route 250 West} fi.om the City limits m
the Route ;!50/.29-Bypass.
This project is revised from prior ye?rs to include bKee lanes
and $8,100 in additional funds to install streetllghts (over
the $$1,900 approved last year for FY 98 and FT99.)
Project dates also have been moved from FY 98 and 99 to
FY 97 - 99. It is expected that 80% of the right-of-way and
construction costs for the bike lanes will be borne by I/DoT
through ISTEA funding. The bllre lanes will be a joint
prOject with the City of Charlottesville and the University of
Virginia, with funding occurring in FY 97 ($$O, O00 from
each jurisdiction, plus $600,O00j~om ISTEA funds).
Funding for the sireetlight installation ($40,000) would
occur in FY99.
Pro_iect Jt/sfif'lcafion:
This project will enhance the "Entrance Corridor" status of
Route250 Wast andimprove thesafety o£the corridor. The
high LTVA student population in this area generates
considerable pedestrian and bicycle traffic and the corridor is
subject to high traffic volume and multiple hinting
movements. The construction ofthese improvements will
help to implement the Ivy Road Corridor Plea, with the bike
path portion of the project contingent on the City and
University funding their portions of the project.
Relationship to Plan:
This pr6je~t is consistent with the Ivy Road Design Study and
the City/Coanty Bicycle Plan and with the Lewis Mountain-
University Heights Neighborhood Study.
Impact if Project Not Completed:
If not fimded, safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles
will be compromised.

ALBEMARLE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Memorandum
COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE
EXECUTIVE OFFICE
DATE: March 14, 1996
Th: l~b~e White, County Executive's Office - -
RE: Capital Improvement Program Revision Approved by the School Board
Based on current Wends, it is estimated that construction costs for several CIP projects will be greater than
originally estimated. Attachment 1 is a copy of the Superintendents Memo No. 128, Public,SchoolBuildings Put Under
Contract between July 1. 1994- June 30, 1995. Dr. Bosber states that, "In reviewing the new school consmaction cost
for the past year it is clear that costs have risen dramatically with double digit inflation. Contributing factors include
the recovering economy, added costs to meet higher building code standards and general inflation of]building materials
gad labor costs.'?
Bids were recently opened for the Western Albemarle High School Ranovation/Addition and they exceeded
our $2,118,000 construction budget by $600,000. We are worloag with the school~ architect and contractor to reduce
the scope of work in order for the major portion of the project to proceed. /n the next three months, seven additional
projects, totaling $7.66 million, will be bid. All deferred projects will be accounted for in the 1997/2002 CIP which may
require other projects to be moved back one or two years. Based on the Western Albemarle High School project, it will
be necessary m supplement the budget for each of the projects. The primary goal will be to provide additional classroom
space, which will allow maximum flexibility during redistricting and remove mobile units. Chiller replacement would
still occur at Walton and CATEC with the Freon to be recycled and stored to extend the service life of othe~ chillers.
The Technology Labs would be phased in over the following two years. The roofing replacement can be deferred with
minimal repairs. By the completion of the above listed projects, all major structural obstacles concerning the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA), will be completed, excluding door hardware and minor restroom renovations which will
continue in 1997.
To offset the esenlated costs of construction, on March 11, 1996, the School Board approved our
recommendation to defer the following four projects in order to increase the .project budgets for seven
Renovation/Addition projects. As you requested, I have allocated the funds to each project based on the anticipated
costs. The projects noted in (A) below should be reduced by the specified amount, and the projects noted in (B) below
should be increased by the specified amounts;

As we also discussed, the School Board approved the use of $875,448 for incorporation of the sustainable
design strategies. Therefore, we are requesting that the remaining $780,158 from the originally requested funds for
sustainable design strategies, remain in the New High School construction account, in order to offset potential, additional
builffmg costs~
Thank you for your assistance in these matters. Please do not hesitate to contact me on 973-3677, should you
have any questions or require additional information.

OTHER ISSUES FROM THE MARCH 11 AND MARCH 13 WORKSESSIONS
Sexual Assault Resource Agency (SARA):
Question: Why are UV./I 's program support dollars down from 7% to 5.6%.
Answer: For all three entities, the City, County and the University, the share of the total budget was
down due to a large projected increase in State funds of $50,000. Both the City and County shares also
went down from 8.6% to 7.3%. However, UVA's funding remains level at $16,000 for FY 95/96 and
FY 96/97. SARA's director stated that she did not request an increase from UVA, because it was her
understanding from UVA officials that no additional dollars would be forthcoming for next year.
Madison House: ~ ..... , - -
Question: Has the University funded the expanded request, and if not, what is their timetable for
funding decisions?
Answer. Madison House requested $40,000 from UVA Student Council, which is an ongoing request
and is fairly guaranteed for funding. An additional request for $8,000 is submitted each year for a
discretionary grant from the Vice President of Student Affairs, Mr. Bill Harmon. For FY 96/97,
Madison House requested $12,000, the extra $2,000 to fund the additional graduate assistant and
$2,000 to offset thei[rental loss. The Director should be able to get an answer fairly soon, as it is at
the discretion of the Vice President and not on any particular funding approval schedule.
CTS Bus Service to Walmart and Pantops
Helen Poore, Director of Charlottesville Transit Service presented the following option to City
Council in a transit worksession on March :
Route 7 transit service could be extended on the northern end to provide a connection to Walmart and
on the eastern end to provide service to Pantops shopping center. This would be accomplished by
adding two additional buses (2 to 4), which would extend the route and also increase the frequency
along the Route 7 trunk line from 30" to 20".
The benefit to the City would be the increased frequency for City residents along Route 7, plus access
to both Walmart and Pantops, service along High Street to Pantops, a potential decrease in JAUNT
service for Dr.'s appointments at Pantops, and a potential shuffle linkage with Westminster Canterbury.
The benefit to the County would be increased frequency &trips along Route 7, a trunk route along
Berkmar that would connect aH the shopping center locations, i.e. Albemarle Square, Fashion Square,
Rio and Walmart and a eastern connection to Pantops.
The total cost of this option is $122,000, $54,000 (44%) to the City, $48,000 (39%) to the County and
$24,000 (20%) in projected ridership fees. Although ridership fees are always based on rough
projections, CTS estimates that an additional 33,000 riders will be added by. this option. Should the
Board choose to support this option as part of their contribution, both shopping centers could be asked
to set aside space for Park & Ride lots.
City Council will decide on whether to support this option at their March 21st worksession_
NOTE: Based on the proposed compensation plan and the 4.5% state salary increase, the cost of
placing the Sheriff's Department on the County's pay scale would be substantially less than previously
estimated. Should the Board wish to pursue this issue, staff is prepared to discuss the revised
estimates.
