Sincerely, /lab' Laurel A. Bentley Senior Deputy Clerk Attach ment cc: Robert Tucker Attach ment A Meadow Creek Parkway Extension Proiect Alternative #1 Accelerate Freestate Connector as a County-managed, state funds-financed project to preserve access to the community served. Requires delaying the Corridor Study 1-1.5 years until a contract to construct the Freestate Connector is awarded. The delay is necessary to allow the study to qualify the corridor for future federal funding. Initiation of construction is the earliest event that allows the Connector to establish the necessary "existing" termini and enable the Corridor beyond the connector to meet the required test of independent utility. COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA TITLE: Resolution of Intent to amend the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan SU BJ ECT/PROPOSALIREQU EST:. Allow for the possible location of certain larger scale public facilities in the designated Rural Areas STAFF CONTACT(S): Tucker, Foley, Cilimberg, Benish AGENDA DATE: December 1, 1999 ACTION: ITEM NUMBER: IN FORMATION: CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: X INFORMATION: ATTACHMENTS: Yes RE. VIEWED. BY.'_ /~/-~'~" . BACKGROUND: The County has been through the search process for several school sites in recent years, including the current efforts to find a northern elementary site. Additional school site needs are anticipated in upcoming years. These schools function as both educational and community recreational facilities and, thus, require significant land area. The Comprehensive Plan specifies that schools be located in designated Development Areas. DISCUSSION: As the attached resolution notes, it may be more appropriate in some cases not to consume significant Development Area land with larger scale public facilities such as schools and instead locate them in certain Rural Area locations in close proximity to a Development Area. This can save Development Area land for intended urban land uses, yet locate public facilities where public utilities and infrastructure can be feasibly provided to support the use. Any such location should also be evaluated for its relationship to other Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives and the potential of the location being within future Development Area expansion. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of attached resolution of intent. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 99.217(A) RESOLUTION OF INTENT WltEREAS, it is incumbent upon the county to provide adequate public facilities and: services to the residents of the County; and Wlt'EREAS, the location of larger scale public facilities such as schools and parks within designated Development Areas can consume extensive areas of undeveloped land that could be better used for residential, 6mployment, and other business and services uses more appropriately located in the Development Areas; and Wltlr~REAS, it may be appropriate to locate larger scale public facilities in certain locations within the designated Rural Areas of the County, particularly areas in close proximity to designated Developinent Areas which may be subject to future Development Area expansion. l 10W, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practices, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors hereby adopts a resolution of intent to amend the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan to allow for the possible location of certain larger scale public facilities in the designated Rural Areas. I, Ella W. Carey, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true correct copy of a resolution adopted by the County Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia at a regular meeting held on December 1, 1999. ~ou~ty Board of Supervi~ COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA TITLE: Meadow Creek Parkway North of Rio Road/Free State Road to Rio Road Connector SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST:. Request for authorization to proceed under revised study process STAFF CONTACT(S): Tucker, Foley, Cilimberg, Mawyer, Kelsey, Davis AGENDA DATE: December 1, 1999 ACTION: CONSENT AGENDA: ITEM NUMBER: INFORMATION: ACTION: X INFORMATION: BACKGROUND: ATTACHMENTS: REVIEWED BY: Yes In July of this year the Board of Supervisors authorized Bob Tucker to execute an "Agreement for Highway Project Administration" with VDOT to administer the Meadow Creek Parkway project from Rio Road to Route 29 North. Thc ^ ....... * ....... '~ *' .... ~' .... '"~"~' ~ *'-" The Agreement was divided into three mutually dependent projects. 1) Free State-Rio Road Connector- locate and design, acquire right-of-way, and construct a connector road which would replace the Free State Road railroad bridge replacement project currently in the 6-Year Secondary Plan; 2) Meadow Creek Parkway Study - environmental documents and preliminary engineering necessary to achieve CTB location approval for Meadow Creek Parkway from Free State Road to Route 29 North; 3) Meadow Creek Parkway Extension - final design, acquire right-of-way and construct this section of Meadow Creek Parkway consistent with the CTB approved location. The Agreement appendices designated the responsibilities of the County and VDoT for each project. DISCUSSION: In attempting to finalize the aforementioned agreement, the County was advised by VDOT that, to preserve the use of Federal funds for the construction of Meadow Creek Parkway north of Rio Road, "environmental documents must be based on logical termini having independent utility." (See Attachment A) As a result, if VDOT Secondary funds are to be used, the Rio Road to Free State Road connector must be designed and built independent of Meadow Creek Parkway. Four possible alternatives are identified in Attachment A. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board authorize proceeding with Alternative 1 as described in Attachment A. This will allow the Rio Road to Free State Road connector to proceed immediately as a replacement for the Free State Road Railroad Bddge replacement project. In the short term, this connector will provide a better access for the Free State Road area as it develops than improving the Free State Road railroad bridge and sending that traffic through existing streets in the neighborhoods west of the railroad (Northfields, Carrsbrook, etc.). The Free State Road railroad bridge can then be abandoned as a public road for vehicular traffic and limited to pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. In the longer term, while the Meadow Creek Parkway project north of Rio Road will be delayed until a contract to construct the Rio Road to Free State Road connector is awarded, the connector road will be in place as a logical section of the ultimate Meadow Creek Parkway. This alternative also preserves the use of Secondary funds for both projects and does not require amendment of the current 6-Year Secondary Plan. 99.216(A) BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Meeting: Meadowcreek Parkway Extension, Albemarle County Meeting Date: September 30, 1999 Attendees: James S. Givens - VDOT, Secondary Roads Kenneth M. Smith - VDOT, Secondary Roads Patsy Napier - VDOT, Location and Design Cooper Wamsley - VDOT, Environmental Ed Sundra - FHWA Bill Mawyer - Albemarle County Jack Kelsey - Albemarle County Wayne Cilimberg - Albemarle County The meeting was called to determine outstanding items required to put projects being considered by Albemarle County under Agreement with the Department to begin the effort(s). Outstanding information required to complete an Agreement is: 1) The project or projects that the County desires to complete must be identified. 2) For each project, the following is required: a) A clearly defined scope of work. b) A reimbursement cost, based on the County's engineering limas' proposal, in which the District Office concurs. Pro|ect Overview The project was initially identified as a location study for the proposed Meadowcreek Parkway Extension which follows a river and traverses wet lands.. However, that is impacted by a second project (Freestate Road Connector or "Connector") as an alternative to replacing the Freestate Road bridge project, and potentially coinciding with the alignment of the proposed Meadowcreek Parkway Extension. To preserve the potential of using federal funds to complete the Meadowcreek Parkway Extension, environmental documents must be based on logical termini having independent utility. If the logical termini and independently utility issue for both projects is not coordinated carefully, using a portion of the alignment anticipated for the Meadowcreek Parkway Extension for the Connector has potential to eliminate the use of federal funds on the Meadowcreek Parkway Extension. Those present acknowledged two facts: 1. The need to identify an alignment for the Meadowcreek Parkway Extension is underscored by the need to protect and preserve potential transportation alignments against encroaching development. 2. The need to build a connector from Rio Road to Freestate Road is underscored by a degree of urgency to replace a rapidly a deteriorating bridge, owned by the railroad. This bridge provides the only access to the subdivision served by Freestate Road. VDOT Funding Commitment Secondary Roads Division will provide the County a le~er that commits secondary construction funds may be used to finance the Corridor Study without regard to Freestate Road Connector. Meeting: Meadowcreek Parkway Extension, Albemarle County Meeting Date: September 30, 1999 Project Alternatives Alternative Project Discussion Time Frame A. Accelerate Freestate Connector as a county-managed, state funds 1.5-2 years financed project to preserve access to the community served. B. Requires delaying the Corridor Study 1-1.5 years until a contract to construct the Freestate Connector is awarded. The delay is 1 necessary to allow the study to qualify the corridor for future federal funding. Initiaion of construction is the earliest event that 4.5-5 years allows the Connector to establish the necessary "existing" termini and enable the Corridor beyond the connector to meet the required test of independent utility.) A. Initiate Corridor Study, accepting the risks represented by the deteriorating bridge. 3 years 2 B. Complete Freestate Connector (after Corridor Study is completed), requiring 3-year delay. 4.5-5 years A. Initiate Corridor Study as soon as the County provides outstanding data for the Agreement. Fund Corridor Study with state resources 3 years. to a scope qualifying construction for federal participation. 3 B. Construct the Freestate Connector (by County or by Developer) at no cost to the state, dropping the bridge replacement but taking the unknown risk identified in 2.A. A. Initiate Corridor Study with the risk of further bridge deterioration. 3 years. 4 B. Replace the bridge as scheduled, at a cost of approximately $ lmillion. Option causes no impact to COrridor Study. 3+ years Note: Time fi:ames shown above, as well as the delays mentioned, are subject to being extended as the result of any "discovery" encountered during environmental the review. Because of the relationship of the two projects under options 1, 2, and 3, the consequences of such extensions should be evaluated carefully. ITl COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA TITLE: Law Enforcement Block Grant Award SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Request approval on Expenditure of Block Grant funds. STAFF CONTACTS: Messrs. TUcker, Foley, Chief Miller AGENDA DATE: December 1, 1999 ACTION: CONSENT AGEN DA: ACTION: X ATTACHMENTS: No REVIEWED BY ITEM NUMBER: INFORMATION: INFORMATION: BACKGROUND: The Department of Justice has awarded Albemarle County $22,215 in federal funding with a required 10% local cash match of $2,222 for a total of $24,237 available for public safety initiative. The purpose of the grant program is the reduction of crimes and improving public safety. The funding formula is based primarily on our Part 1 Uniform Crime Report offenses over three-year average. These grant funds may be used in the following areas: Law enforcement support for hiring, training, and employing on a continuing basis new, additional law enforcement officers or support personnel. If new personnel are hired there must be a net gain over the unit of local government's current appropriated budget, in the number of law enforcement officers who perform non-administrative public safety service. · Paying overtime to presently employed law enforcement officers and necessary support personnel for the purpose of increasing the number of hours worked by such personnel. · Establishing crime prevention programs involving the cooperation between community residents and law enforcement personnel to control, detect, or investigate crime or the prosecution of criminals. · Procuring equipment, technology, and other material directly related to basic law enforcement functions. DISCUSSION: Staff has recommended using these grant funds for overtime for current officers concentrating in the northern/western areas of the county. This approach will be patterned after our outreach efforts in southern Albemarle. Our efforts in the southern section of the county have had an effect on crime and public safety in the area. We continue to address crime and quality of life issues in the Esmont community and other neighborhoods in southern Albemarle. Expanding our police presence in the northern/western regions of the county will allow us to continue to identify and address crime issues that specifically impact these areas. Our concept is to assign our Neighborhood Resource Officers a geographic area of responsibility. These officers will be tasked with analyzing and coordinating activities in their geographic region. The grant funding would be: used to provide overtime coverage and to re-staff for shortages. Neighborhood Resource Officers would also be assigned to deal with neighborhood problems and be a liaison for the community with the police department. The Neighborhood Resource Officer would provide a plan of action to address public safety and quality of life issues in their geographic region. Duties would include: · Identifying problems in geographic regions including crime statistics and traffic analysis. · Acting as a liaison with area schools, churches, civic associations, senior groups, and neighborhood watches. · Identifying and meeting with community leaders in each geographic area. · Concentrating on meeting people, even door-to-door visits with businesses and residents in each geographic area. · Handling follow-up investigations if necessary. · Utilizing patrol at every available opportunity. AGENDA TITLE: Law Enforcement Block Grant Award December 1, 1999 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval for the use of the Block Grant funds for overtime for officers working on community policing initiatives in the northern/western areas of the county. 99.221 David P.

Any further questions on this material should be directed to Roxanne White or Bob Brandenburger. 99.219 Response to Questions from Board Members on the "Competitive Compensation Analysis: Annual Update" Revised 11/15/99 "Findings & Recommendations" Materials page 3: Please provide a more detailed explanation of 2% salary pool rationale, clearly explaining why the 4% merit pool will not address these issues and a expansion of the "structural issues" explanation. Each job at Albemarle County is evaluated and assigned a salary range based on Job Complexity, Education and Experience, Scope and Impact, Supervision Received, Contacts, Work Environment, and Physical Demands. This is called job classification. The ranges for all jobs comprise the County's salary, structure. To determine the competitiveness of the County's salary structure, we compare the middle of the salary range to market data for a representative sample of County jobs. The middle of the County's salary ranges for the select group of jobs is 4% below market. In order for the County to maintain competitive ranges for the FY beginning July I, 2000, a 4% range movement is recommended. This is the "structural issue" - the competitiveness of the County's salary ranges/structure. A 4% merit pool is recommended to provide competitive increase opportunities and maintain current competitive positioning for the upcoming FY. Each individual employee occupying a classified job at Albemarle County is paid within the job's salary range based on skill, experience, performance, etc. Unlike teachers, Classified employees are not paid "on the scale" and thus, the salary ranges/structure can be "at market" while actual pay rates are above or below market. Actual pay rates for County employees occupying the benchmark jobs are on average 9.4% below market. This is the "progression issue"- the competitiveness of actual pay (progression within the salary range) for the County's employees. A 2% of salary pool for each of the next five years is recommended to address this shortfall. Teachers are paid "on the scale," thus there is no difference between actual pay and the pay structure. 2. page 5: Please expand on how the "hot areas" are defined and derived (e.g., these jobs on the average took X% longer to fill and the salaries are Y% below their comparative markets. Could you provide this information for each of the positions mentioned ora sampling? Those "hot areas" listed arc examples of some of the jobs where thc County and other organizations are experiencing hiring pressures. Hot areas are defined as those areas in which thc County itself has experienced difficulty in recruiting and retention, those areas where job openings (growth and replacement) through 2006 arc projected to be relatively Ik"llKllRl, lIllll t*IOR(;AN --XIIIllZ high (reference chart on page 4 of Supplement), and/or are areas where Slabaugh Morgan has seen hiring pressures. page 9: What is the source of information for this chart. Was this chart solely arrived at from the employee interviews or is there other supportive information? Does this chart form the basis for determining the various markets? The definitions of the County's markets for talent were arrived at based on (1) responses from County employees and managers when asked where they were hired from, were likely to accept a position, or would recruit for talent; and (2) Slabaugh Morgan's experience with organization's vying for similar talent and operating in similar geographies as the County. This is the basis for determining the markets for which competitive data was gathered. page 13/14: Where is the supporting data to make these claims? Where is the supporting data to make the cost estimates? Also, please include cost of benefits based on next year's projected number of employees using this year's number to figure what benefit options they select. Please include the calculations for this last benefits question. See attached Exhibits. Exhibit l: Classified pay data. Exhibit 2: Teacher pay data. Salary and benefits cost data to be provided by the County. "Findings & Recommendations Supt~lement" Materials 1. page 3: Define "population employed" on vertical axis. Provide an example explanation of what 80% of Albemarle and Charlottesville means, and what it means in contrast to 69% for the MSA. Please explain the credentials of NPA Data Services, Inc. Who paid for this data and for what purpose was it collected? Does this company generally collect this type of data and report it? Percent of population employed is defined as number of jobs divided by total population. In Albemarle County and Charlottesville combined, total population for 2000 is projected at 120,600 and projected number of jobs is 96,000 (96,000/120,600--80%). In the Charlottesville Metropolitan Statistical Area (Albemarle County, Fluvanna County, Greene County, Charlottesville City), total population for 2000 is projected at 152,990 and projected number of'jobs is 104,850 (104,850/152,990--69%). Indicators that hiring and wage pressures are significant. The credentials of NPA Data Services, Inc. are detailed in Exhibit 3. This data was collected by Slabaugh Morgan from sources at the University of Richmond. No direct cost was incurred by the County for collecting this information. The information is typically collected by Slabaugh Morgan to provide context for better understanding labor market pressures (supply and demand) in specific geographic areas. page 5: Tile chart in confusing. Please provide the data from the ERI on this chart. Did the ERI produce this chart? Request that a chart be prepared of this area's CPI compared to the rest of the state and nation. Also, provide a definition of the CPI so the public can understand. How can one compare on the same "normalized" graph the percentage increase for one salary compared to a different salary? The percentage impact would have to be greater for thc lower salary. The same applies to the cost of labor. Recommend a comparable chart (to the CPI) for the cost of labor, i.e., for the different salaries, compare to the state and nation. The intent of this chart is to illustrate the potential for other geographic areas to provide more attractive employment opportunities given that Charlottesville's labor rates relative to cost of living are low. Slabaugh Morgan subscribes to the Economic Research Institutes database of geographic pay and cost of living data and runs analyses from that database. This chart was prepared by Slabaugh Morgan using that data. ERI's cost of living data is not the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Slabaugh Morgan does not use CPI data as a normal course of business and thus does not perform CPI analyses. The percentage increase in salary is not compared on this chart. The cost of labor and cost of living for the Charlottesville area are compared to national averages at two different salary levels. Exhibit 4 provides information regarding ERI, cost of living and the ERI data output. 3. page 6: Again, please define how you arrived at the "Hot Skill" job classifications. These "hot skill" jobs were identified and chosen as additional positions outside of the normal benchmarks since these are positions for which the County was particularly interested in market data for reasons of attraction, retention, or internal equity. e page 7: First paragraph: How "seasoned"? Please provide a statement of "completeness" (or "thoroughness") of the survey's you've studied. It appears that you've included more than most would normally include. Additionally, maybe a sentence on why each was chosen (i.e., standards in industry, etc.) Seasoned is relative for each specific job. Generally, seasoned is defined as fully skilled in a given position. Industry standard is to assess multiple surveys for pay data in order to find data consistency and avoid specific survey anomalies and/or biases. The surveys were chosen to provide valid, representative and consistent data for the types of positions and markets in which the County competes for talent. 3 page 8: What local data was not available? What was the rationale for choosing the areas? This is where most of the debate will be if there are not valid reasons. Many have lower CPI and some have significantly higher CPI's. - Did you weight the salaries by the CPI (especially for the highest and lowest CPI areas)? If not, why not? Is the following a better way to look at the data: "If you analyze the cost of labor and living for each of the areas, then you cnn determine a more accurate picture of the equivalent costs in Albemarle." - Please note some criticize salary data since they do NOT include the costs of benefits. How can this be included? And, how can they be adjusted to figure in the local costs National survey data adjusted for Charlottesville labor rates was used as a data point for the majority of positions in order to obtain adequate sample sizes and validate local data. The Counties listed are those who responded to the specific surveys listed. Labor rates are determined in the market by the laws of supply and demand, not CPI. It is not Slabaugh Morgan's practice to assess pay relative to CPI, as it is not an accurate predictor of specific pay rates. Slabaugh Morgan has assessed the competitiveness of the County's benefits package and considers it to be consistent with the market - not above or below. Since benefits are equivalent, there would be no impact on pay, unless the County employed a strategy other than to meet the market with both pay and benefits. page 15: I would like to have a spreadsheet with all the counties/cities salary ranges, their CPI, and cost of labor, so I could look at the data and resultant graph to see the different salary ranges. Examples, look at those with roughly the same CPI, same cost of labor, surrounding counties, state, etc. Details of the survey data gathered from specific counties can be obtained from the County. The County also has copies of the teacher pay surveys used. Specific organization data from other survey sources cannot be disclosed due to copyright and antitrust laws. Slabaugh Morgan does not asse~s CPI and does not typically perform the requested analyses. .

Subscribers use these projections as a regular input in their strategic planning and as a source of data and methodology for work in their own economics, marketing, and planning departments. Economic Growth Model of the United States was developed by NPA Data Services to project the U.S. national economic growth trends. This econometric model of 119 equations and 196 variables stresses the underlying growth factors of the labor force behavior, capital formation, and productivity; and reflects, in considerable detail, the distinct effects of government policies. Each update version of the model is distributed to subscribers and is also sold to the public. The model software and its database are designed for easy use with most spreadsheet programs. This package allows users of this model to readily change projection assumptions or to modify the model to include additional variables ofpar~icular interest to them, such as data for specific industries or companies or for other countries. Reetonal f~conomic Projections Series. Three volumes per year, available by subscription, provide consistent time series of historical and projected data for the years 1967-2025 for the country's regions, states, economic areas, metropolitan areas, and for each of the 3098 U.S. counties. These annually updated series include: population by age, sex and race; households; employment and earnings by sector; and personal income of residents by source. The Regional projections data have been used extensively by subscribers in a variety of applications: in marketing, in planning acquisitions or facilities, in research, and in regulatory hearings and court cases. They are also used by academic faculty for research and by graduate students for thesis work. D#t# Services from the Reelonal Economic Prolections Series Databases.

GEOGRAPHIC ASSIISSOR BACKGROUND The Geographic Assessor was initially created as an easy-to-use calculator of geographic pay and eost-ot'-ilving dffferentials. It calculates Yattances between cities as a complement to thc lnst|tut~-s Geotrn_ohic Reference Rc_oort_ which provides only structures and equations compared to a U.S. "national norm.' Users of,the l[~t',lr, af&.must hand-calculate lrttercity differentials by first converting a Buo City+s "Ama Structures' data to U.S. or Canadian 5rational', aad then making second comparison to the "Destination City'. The Geographic Assessor performs those calculations for you in seconds. This program acquired addlflottal significanc~ in 1989 when it b~came possible to access cost-of-living databat~ whioh wore zip cod~ ~peci. flc. For example, Experian (previously TRW), Coldwell Banker, National Asso~iatlon of Realtors, Royal LePage, Dataquick, U.S. Census, Canada Trust (now discontinued), Prudential, Harmon Publishing, Canada Mottgase and HousinF, and many other sources collect and publish housin8 costs fer typic, al residences. Oroup health rates, utilities, taxes and od~er costs are also available by ama. ERI now profilos cost-of-living differentials for some 4.500+ North American cities using a model hued upon that bLHI:;IHU~H I'IUKI.;t-{~ WMI~& ~XHIBIT 4 - ~&qe 4 of 10 developed In the late t970s (the *Urban Family of l*our' analysis which was discontinued by the U.S. Department of Labor in the early 1980s). For salar~ and wase levels, ~oontinues to apply regression anab, s~ to nationally and regionally, reported survey data, utilizin~ a benchmark modeling t~clmique developed by the IDltJlttt~ ~RI affc~-ts no "real,ia~ with our collection o£survcy data, cmaxion of a mastcr database, and rmsresslon analyses. You mil~ht also pro&toe these results, should you wish to expend the time and expense of collecting the thousands of national and local area surveys now coflduotod within the U.S. arid Canada by consultin~ trade, association, private, and sovemment entities. Based upon these two separate data analyses, the Geographic Assessor calculates both the relative cost-of-living ~ salary and wase Icveis for selected metropolitan areas or cities. The Geop. raphie Assessor also provides a comparison of both areas lo a U.S. *'National Avera~,e' or Canadian '*National Avcragc.' Instltut~ researchers save our customers titne and tocpens¢ by collecting and anatyzlng wage, salary and cost-of-living Information for you.

Salary and wage levels represent and reflect the demand and supply for employees. Cost.of. living represents the ~mand and supply for the goods and services which are purchasent by these employees. Each is calmtlatod from a distinct trod separate database, and it is therefore possible to find areas with cost.-of,.living higher than the National Average, but with wage and salary levels lal~in$ national earning8 rates and vice versa Area wage andsalary differentials Is a distinct issue from cost-of-living varismoes. After thirty years of assis~in$ managers to develop pay practices, we know of no other two concepts which become more entangled and confused. Pica.sc remember when using ERI data that wage tmdsa/ary differentials ate in part explained by proximity to major workforCOs; i.e., wage andsalary differentials are driven by the m~or metropolitan areas, smd an eyre'age of"neatby' cities may bo used with confidono~ in place of areas not Included in the As,t~liflf..s~i~ Altcmately, cost-of-living is not statistically expl~incd by distance ("next-door' neighboring cities often have very different reputations and housing prices). Because cost-of-living is driven by housing costs, beware of substituting one neighboring city for another. Reviewing User-Defined County Averages, as well as by comparin8 the range of most and least expensive areas in a given county or combination of counties, will assist with providing a better picture of possiblc cost-of, li~ing than a one city "guess match'. ~ Canadian "counties" arc equivalent to U.S. counties. That is. they are "Census Divisions~ that exclude: Indian Government Districts, Reserves, Settlements, Torres. and Villages.) /a~,[qtY_/M~[.~tgg levels should represent the demand and supply for labor. Bccause of this, the Institute collects all available base wage and salm3, surveys and regresses weighted average data to the dcrivation of Arcs Structures. These Smscuu'cs arc dcrivcd from the collection and processing of current levels paid for numcwus benchmark positions in various major mcu~politan areas. Having compiled and analyzed thousands of wage and salary surveys, we believe that the Oco~avhtc Assessor adequately illusua~es tho~ base wage/salar~ differentials which exist in the competitive U.S. smd C. anadlali marketplaces. Studies of specific situations, industry, particular organizations, e~i~erienco, et~. may produce varying results (for particular job titles, etc.) and you may wish to consult the ;~]l~/.2~i~d~database for more dctailcd studies of Particular jol~ and industries. We recognize that in glo *'real world', mcan, median, or entry level rates are just one pat~ of thc pay equation when considering and admin/st~ring competitive pay plans. ~.a2~(d/F./~ represents demand and supply for the goods and services which are purchased by thc workforce. That is, housing, Ixattsportation, utilities, and consumables all have their own local demand and supply curves which can be, and often are, completely independent from wage and. salary rates. Likewise, various st~s, counties, and cities charge different income taxes. While there may bo some relationship in that iabo~ of limited income have less than average dollars to demand certain seeds, the costs of products and services are the result of specific combinations of factors and influences which dctcrminc their priccs (particuhtrly for housing) whiclt are often independent of local wages.

Freag~mtlv Asked Oucs~ions EXHXnIT d - Page 9 of 10 FAQ Data Background Question #15 Does cost-of-living predict pay? ~ is often asked if cost-of-living is predictive of pay. For thc statistician, the coefficient of the oost-of-livin$ variable is positive. This mcan.s that cost-of-ltvinlt structures senenlly move in the same direction aa wn~ end salary structurc$ for thc same area. Since ~here exist other more heavily weighted factors, it can never bo said t/mt the two are equal, nor that the final result Wffi move in the same direction. Indeed, at best, correlation between cost-of-living and salary differentials has been found to be .32 which explains less than 10% of the variance. ~'s multiple linear recession model never wciihts cost-of, livin$ any mow than this 10% in predicting rite wase or salary structure for poorly surveyed suburbs.

FEM/ab m-991116 Assistant Superintendent for Support Services 401 McZntire Road Char/ottesvllle, Virginia 22902 (80,I) 296-$877 Legislative Position Paper Albemarle County Schools 2000 General Assembly Session Adopted: November 8, 1999 Legislative Position Paper Albemarle County Schools 2000 General Assembly Session The purpose of this paper is to oUtline positions of the Albemarle County School Board concerning key legislative issues to be considered during the 2000 Virginia General Assembly. The following process and resources will be utilized to prepare for, monitor, and respond to the coming legislative session. I. Resources The following organizations and contact persons will serve as primary resources during the legislative process: · Virginia School Boards Association- VSBA (Mr. Dick Pulley) · Virginia Congress of Parents and Teachers (Ms. Diane Sergeant) · Virginia Association of School Superintendents - VASS (Mr. Bill Pruett) · Thomas Jefferson Planning District (Mr. David Blount) II. Staff Legislative Committee As in previous years, a staff legislative committee has been established to coordinate legislative efforts for the school division and local government. The committee includes Dr. Kevin Castner, Mr. Mark Trank, Dr. Frank Morgan, and Dr. Jean Murray. Mr. Trank will also work directly with Ms. Roxanne White, Assistant County Executive, to coordinate efforts between local government and the school division. III. Activities The legislative process consists of three phases: the Pre-Session Phase, the Legislative Session Phase, and the Post-Session Phase. Specific activities for each phase will are as follows: Pre-Session (August-December, 1999): · Monthly meetings with legislative delegation, September-December. · Preliminary discussion with Board on legislative positions, October 11. · VASS Legislative Conference, October 20-21. · School Board action on a Legislative Position Paper on November 8 · VSBA Delegate Assembly, November 18. · Presentation of School Board Legislative Position Paper to legislative delegation, December 10. Legislative Session Activities (January - April 2000) This year's General Assembly session will begin on January 12, 2000 and will end on March 11, 2000. The Veto Session will be on April 19, 2000. A VSBA Legislative Conference is scheduled for February 21-22. Ms. White and Mr. Trank, assisted by Dr. Morgan and Dr. Murray, will monitor information from the General Assembly through the aforementioned support groups. The school division legislative committee will provide input to the local legislative delegation, as required. The committee will also provide information to the School Board throughout the legislative session and will assist the Board in any involvemen~ it might wish to pursue during the session. Post-Session Activities (May - July, 2000) A summary of legislation affecting education will be developed through Mr. Trank's office and presented to the School Board. This report will inform adjustment to be made to policy and practice to comply with new legislation. L Revenue and Funding Issues Changes to the Composite Index Position Support changes to the Composite Index that would: · Change the formula for the Composite Index so that it accounts for revenue-sharing agreements and land-use value assessment programs; and, · Provide a mechanism for appealing decisions concerning a locality's Composite Index. The Board supports the use of the Composite Index to determine the local share of educational funding. However, the rigidity of the formula is of concern in that some localities, such as Albemarle County, receive ability-to-pay ratings based on factors that cannot actually be tapped as revenue sources. Rationale The Composite Index is a calculation of local ability to pay based on local real estate values, local adjusted gross income, local and state average daily membership, and taxable retail sales. In Albemarle County, the Composite Index normally rises in a fairly significant way every two years (Albemarle County will receive its new Composite Index for the next two fiscal years in December.) The formula to determine this calculation has several significant flaws, as follows: It does not consider revenue-sharing agreements, such as the one that exists between Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville, which decrease tax revenue that can be spent by the locality collecting it. · It does not recognize counties that utilize land-use value assessment programs, which decrease the actual revenue generated by land impacted by such programs. Its use of local adjusted gross revenue as a factor penalizes localities with a concentration of wealthy persons and no means by which to capture revenue from such income. · It does not allow for ratios of artificially high property values and lower-than-average gross incomes. · No formal process exists for localities to appeal problems and inequities other than in extraordinary circumstances. Costs of State Testing Program Position Supl~ort full funding of all the costs involved in the administration of the State Testing Program, including the Stanford 9 and the Standards of Learning (SOL). Rationale The implementation of the expanded State Testing Program has resulted in local school divisions having to absorb an extensive number of costs. In Albemarle County, these costs are conservatively estimated to be $285,000 per year, including personnel costs. To absorb these costs, divisions have had to divert funding from other pressing instructional needs. As an equity issue, the full cost of a mandated State Testing Program needs to be provided by the State. Specific Funding Issues Position Support funding for the following areas: A predictable, secure long-term financing mechanism for school construction, renovation, and debt service. Such funding should be distributed in such a way as to not penalize localities that have already committed significant resources to these areas at the expense of other needs. · A predictable, secure long-term funding mechanism for technology that encompasses hardware, software, networking, technical support, and training. · At-Pdsk Four Year-Old programs. Alternative Education programs for students having discipline problems in a normal school environment. This funding would best be provided in block grants to allow local divisions to tailor programs to specific student needs. · School Resource Officers (SROs). Rationale Statewide, school construction and renovation needs totaling over $6 billion have been identified. In Albemarle County, over $100 million in projects have been completed over the past ten years. However, over $63 million in needs for the school division alone have been identified for the five-year period beginning in July, 2000. Stable technology funding would assist students in meeting both the SOL requirements for technology and also promote the use of technology for the delivery of instruction in other content areas. Technology may also provide solutions to make the SOL testing process more efficient. At-Risk Four Year-Old programs would promote stronger Reading achievement in the early grades for students coming from disadvantaged environments. These programs may also help to avoid more costly interventions for these students later in their academic careers. Alternative Education programs and School Resource Officers would significantly enhance the overall safety and learning climate in schools. Long-Term State Revenue Issues Position Oppose use of General Fund monies for road construction. Support...a specific requirement in The Code of Virginia to guarantee that lottery profits will be spent on education. Rationale The use of General Fund monies for road construction would effectively divert funding from the General Fund for education. At a point in time where local schools have been forced to assume the costs of an increasing number of State mandates, such a diversion of funding would be both unfair and inappropriate. When the lottery was originated in the 1980s, the original intention of the General Assembly was to ultimately have all lottery profits earmarked for education. A requirement in The Code of Virginia would guarantee that lottery profits would not be diverted to other use. II. Governance Issues > Chan es to the Charter Schools Law Position Oppose any changes to the substance of the current Charter Schools Law, which vests final authority_ for these schools with the local school board. Rationale The current Charter Schools Law reflects a long and thorough legislative process. This law has only been in effect since the July of 1998, and has not had adequate implementation time to determine if changes are appropriate or necessary. Local school boards should retain final authority for these schools. Local Flexibility in Use of Lottery Funds Position Support full local flexibility in the use of lottery funds. Rationale Local school boards have the best understanding of how best to address local needs. Limiting the ways in which local divisions can use lottery fund allocations prevents local boards from having the latitude to make the best decisions for the individual division. Flexibility in Utilizing Resources for Staffing and Intervention Position · Support flexibili _ty to use funding for additional teaching personnel provided by the State for remediation and intervention purposes, such as extended learning time. · Support restructuring of State funding for remediation to block grants and allowine local school divisions to have flexibility as to how these funds would be used. Raffonale Simply lowering class size may not be the only answer to improving student achievement, especially that of the most high-risk populations. Further, it may be difficult to actually hire additional teachers, given the projected teacher shortage. It may also be difficult and costly to provide the space needed for additional teaching personnel. Flexibility in the utilization of funding for additional teaching personnel would enable school divisions to avoid these problems. This approach would also provide local school divisions the flexibility to pursue innovations, such as extended learning time, utilizing existing personnel. The utilization of existing personnel versus the hiring of new personnel would be extremely cost efficient because hiring costs and the costs for some benefits, such as for medical insurance, would be avoided. For FY 2000-2001, a total of $236,910,041 in 19 different categories are identified in the State education budget for remediation, at-risk, and related programs. The block grant approach would permit increased efficiency and focus at the local school division level. III. Other IsSues Teacher Recruitment and Retention, Position Support the following to attract and retain qualified individuals into teaching and to buffer the existing teacher shortage: · Funding for teacher salaries that will move Virginia's teaching salaries above the national average. · Flexibility in teacher licensure requirements that does not de-emphasize exposure to pedagogy. · Allowing retired educators, at the discretion of the local school division, to teach full- time without forfeiting any of their retirement benefits. Rationale The impending teacher shortage, which is exacerbated by the new State early retirement provisions, must be addressed in a direct and forthright way. Salaries and licensure flexibility are reasonable steps. Allowing retirees to continue to teach full-time without forfeiting retirement benefits will provide a short-term solution to the imminent teacher shortage. 7 To: Members, Board of Supervisors /~% From; F__Jla Washington Carey, CMC, ~ Subject: Reading 13st for December I, F9~9 I)~e: November 23, 1999 June 4, 1997 September 15, 1999 Mr. Perkins Mr. Bowerman /ewc Ginnie McDonald Board of Supervisors , December 1, 1999 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS · I.

The paper that the ..Legislative Position Paper Albemarle County Schools 2000 General Assembly Session Adopted: November 8, 1999 Legislative Position Paper Albemarle County Schools 2000 General Assembly Session The purpose of this paper is to outline positions of the Albemarle County School Board concerning key legislative issues to be considered during the 2000 Virginia General Assembly. The following process and resources will be utilized to prepare for, monitor, and respond to the coming legislative session. I. Resources The following organizations and contact persons will serve as primary resources during the legislative process: Virginia School Boards Association - VSBA (Mr. Dick Pulley) · Virginia Congress of Parents and Teachers (Ms. Diane Sergeant) · Virginia Association of School Superintendents - VASS (Mr. Bill Pruett) · Thomas Jefferson Planning District (Mr. David Blount) II. Staff Legislative Committee ! As in previous years, a staff legislative committee has been established to coordinate legislative efforts for the school division and local government. The committee includes Dr. Kevin Castner, Mr. Mark Trank, Dr. Frank Morgan, and Dr. Jean Murray. Mr. Trank will also work directly with Ms. Roxanne White, Assistant County Executive, to coordinate efforts between local government and the school division. III. Activities The legislative process consists of three phases: the Pre-Session Phase, the Legislative Session Phase, and the Post-Session Phase. Specific activities for each phase will are as follows: Pre-Session (August-December, 1999): · Monthly meetings with legislative d~legation, September-December. · Preliminary discussion with Bdard on legislative positions, October 11. · VAS S Legislative Conference, October 20-21. · School Board action on a Legislative Position Paper on November 8 · VSBA Delegate Assembly, November 18. · Presentation of School Board Legislative Position Paper to legislative delegation, December 10. Legislative Session Activities (January - April, 2000) This year's General Assembly session will begin on January 12, 2000 and will end on March 11, 2000. The Veto Session will be on April 19, 2000. A VSBA Legislative Conference is scheduled for February 21-22. Ms. White and Mr. Trank, assisted by Dr. Morgan and Dr. Murray, will monitor information from the General Assembly through the aforementioned support groups. The school division legislative committee will provide input to the local legislative delegation, as required. The committee will also provide information to the School Board throughout the legislative session and will assist the Board in any involvement it might wish to pursue during the session. Post-Session Activities (May - July, 2000) A summary of legislation affecting education will be developed through Mr. Trank's office and presented to the School Board. This report will inform adjustment to be made to policy and practice to comply with new legislation. I. Revenue and Funding Issues Changes to the Composite Index Position Support changes to the Composite Index that would: Change the formula for the Composite Index so that it accounts for revenue-sharing agreements and land-use value assessment programs; and, · Provide a mechanism for appealing decisions concerning a locality's Composite Index. The Board supports the use of the Composite Index to determine the local share of educational funding. However, the rigidity of the formula is of concern in that some localities, such as Albemarle County, receive ability-to-pay ratings based on factors that cannot actually be tapped as revenue sources. Rationale' The Composite Index is a calculation of local ability to pay based on local real estate values, local adjusted gross income, local and state average daily membership, ~tnd taxable retail sales. In Albemarle County, the Composite Index normally rises in a fairly significant way every two years (Albemarle County will receive its new Composite Index for the next two fiscal years in December.) The formula to determine this calculation has several significant flaws, as follows: It does not consider revenue-sharing agreements, such as the one that exists between Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville, which decrease tax revenue that can be spent by the locality collecting it. · It does not recognize counties that utilize land-use value assessment programs, which decrease the actual revenue generated by land impacted by such programs. · Its use of local adjusted gross revenue as a factor penalizes localities with a concentration of wealthy persons and no means by which to capture revenue from such income. · It does not allow for ratios of artificially high property values and lower-than-average gross incomes. · No formal process exists for localities to appeal problems and inequities other than in extraordinary circumstances. > .C, osts of State Testing Program P. o, sition SuppOrt full funding of all the costs involved in the administration of the State Testing Program, including the Stanford 9 and the Standards of Learning (SOL). Rationale The implementation of the expanded State Testing Program has resulted in local school divisions having to absorb an extensive number of costs. In Albemarle County, these costs are conservatively estimated to be $285,000 per year, including personnel costs. To absorb these costs, divisions have had to divert funding from other pressing instructional needs. As an equity issue, the.full cost of a mandated State Testing Program needs to be provided by the State. Specific Funding Issues Position Support funding for the following areas: A predictable, secure long-term financing mechanism for school construction, renovation, and debt service. Such funding should be distributed in such a way as to not penalize localities that have already committed significant resources to these areas at the expense of other needs. · A predictable, secure long-term funding mechanism for technology that encompasses hardware, software, networking, technical support, and training. · At-Risk Four Year-Old programs. Alternative Education programs for students having discipline problems in a normal school environment. This funding would best be provided in block grants to allow local divisions to tailor programs to specific student needs. · School Resource Officers (SROs). Rationale Statewide, school construction and renovation needs totaling over $6 billion have been identified. In Albemarle County, over $100 million in projects have been completed over the past ten years. However, over $63 million in needs for the school division alone have been identified for the five-year period beginning in July, 2000. 4 Stable technology funding would assist students in meeting both the SOL requirements for technology and also promote the use of technology for the delivery of instruction in other content areas. Technology may also provide solutions to make the SOL testing process more efficient. At-Risk Four Year-Old programs would promote stronger Reading achievement in the early grades for students coming from disadvantaged environments. These. programs may also help to avoid mOre costly interventions for these students later in their academic careers. Alternative Education programs and School Resource Officers would significantly enhance the overall safety and learning climate in schools. Long-Term State Revenue Issues Position · Oppose use of General Fund monies for road construction. · Support a specific requirement in The Code o.fVirginia to guarantee that lottery profits w/Il be spent on education. Rationale The use of General Fund monies for road construction would effectively divert funding from the General Fund for education. At a point in time where local schools have been forced to assume the costs of an increasing number of State mandates, such a diversion of funding would be both unfair and inappropriate. When the lottery Was originated in the 1980s, the original intention of the General Assembly was to ultimately have all lottery profits earmarked for edUcation. A requirement in The Code of Virginia would guarantee that lottery profits would not be diverted to other use. II. Governance Issues Changes to the Charter Schbols Law Position Oppose any changes to the substance of the current Charter Schools Law, which vests final authority, for these schools with the local school board. Rationale The current Charter Schools Law reflects a long and thorough legislative process. This law has only been in effect since the July of 1998, and has not had adequate implementation time to determine if changes are appropriate or necessary. Local school boards should retain final authority for these schools. Local Flexibility. in Use of Lottery_ Funds Position Support full local flexibilitw in the use of lottery funds. ~Rationale Local school boards have the best understanding of how best to address local needs. Limiting the ways in which local divisions can use lottery fund allocations prevents local boards from having the latitude to make the best decisions for the individual division. Flexibili in Utilizing Resources for Staffing and Intervention Position Support flexibility to use funding for additional teaching personnel provided bv the State for remediation and intervention purposes, such as extended learning time. · Support restructurinff of State funding for remediation to block grants and allowing local school divisions to have flexibility as to how these funds would be used. Rationale Simply lowering class size may not be the only answer to improving student achievement, especially that of the most high-risk populations. Further, it may be difficult to actually hire additional teachers, given the projected teacher shortage. It may also be difficult and costly to provide the space needed for additional teaching personnel. Flexibility in the utilization of funding for additional teaching personnel would enable school divisions to avoid these problems. This approach would also provide local school divisions the flexibility to pursue innovations, such as extended learning time, utilizing existing personnel. The utilization of existing personnel versus the hiring of new personnel would be extremely cost efficient because hiring costs and the costs for some benefits, such as for medical insurance, would be avoided. For FY 2000-2001, a total of $236,910,041 in 19 different categories are identified in the State education budget for remediation, at-risk, and related programs. The block grant approach would permit increased efficiency and focus at the local school division level. IlL Other Issues Teacher Recruitment and Retention Position Support the following to attract and retain qualified individuals into teaching and to buffer the existing teacher shortage: · Funding for teacher salaries that will move Virginia's teaching salaries above the national average. · Flexibility in teacher licensure requirements that does not de-emphasize exposure to pedagogy. · Allowing retired educators, at the discretion of the local school division, to teach full- time without forfeiting any of their retirement benefits. , Rationale The impending teacher shortage, which is exacerbated by the new State early retirement provisions, must be addressed in a direct and forthright way. Salaries and licensure flexibility are reasonable steps. Allowing retirees to continue to teach full-time without forfeiting retirement benefits will provide a short-term solution to the imminent teacher shortage. MERIWETHER LEWIS SCHOOL on !.

Summary of the 1999 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA TITLE: Chamber of Commerce Discussion SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Discussion on Albemarle County membership in the Chamber of Commerce. STAFF CONTACT(S): Tucker, White AGENDA DATE: December 1, 1999 ACTION: CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: ATTACHMENTS: Yes ITEM NUMBER: INFORMATION: X INFORMATION: REVIEWED BY: ? BACKGROUND: At the November 3~d meeting, the Board discussed potential membership in the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce and requested further discussion at the December 1st meeting. The information below summarizes participation by selected counties in their respective chambers and a description of current and potential services provided by the Chamber to Albemarle County. DISCUSSION: The following information answers the question: "Is your county a member of your local Chamber of Commerce, at what cost, and what specific services do you receive for your membership?" Augusta County · Member of The Greater Augusta Regional Chamber along with Staunton and Waynesboro. Contribution is $580, a fixed amount. Both the cities of Staunton & Waynesboro and the County of Augusta have memberships. They pay regular dues based on number of employees they have. The Chamber provides exactly the same services provided to any other Chamber member with no special arrangements. Rockinqham County · Chamber member. They contribute $3,000, however this is an arbitrary amount determined by the Board to fund various projects in the community. Hanover County ) Henrico County ) Chesterfield County ) · Ail counties are members of the Richmond Chamber. Each contributes money of various amounts to Economic Development Programs, "GREAT," and a welfare to work program, "Workforce 1". Each County participates in the "Greater Richmond Partnership" campaign. This is a 5 year campaign in which each locality (including the City of Richmond) has pledged to give $325,000 per year over 5 years to the success and establishment of this program. Loudoun County · Chamber member, although they do not actually fund the Chamber itself. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA TITLE: Chamber of Commerce Discussion December 1,199 Page 2 Stafford County · Member of the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber. They contribute $1,093 in membership fees, which allows them to share the same benefits as other members. The fee is adjusted for government membership. They also fund or sponsor several community programs, such as Job Fairs, etc. James City County · Member of the Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce. The County pays $12,000 in dues to the Chamber. Spotsylvania County · Member of Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, which includes Stafford, Spotsylvania, and King George counties. They are trying to bdng Caroline County into Chamber membership. Dues are $1,093, which has been fixed for the past three years. They also participate in events throughout the year for a fee, i.e., regional awards breakfast, and the opportunity to participate in training retreat, etC. The County Administrator is a voting member of the Board of Directors. Fauquier County · Fauquier County is not an official member of their chamber, but maintains a close working relationship through a $50,000 annual contribution to the Chamber's Tourism Bureau. Fauquier uses the Chamber to assist them with economic development referrals from the State and to represent the business community on their various boards and committees. Based on the above information, there seems to be no consistent pattern in the relationship and membership fees between each local governing body and their Chamber. Rather, each locality seems to develop their relationship based on their own needs, some paying a fiat membership fee and some paying additional funds for specific, well defined services or programs over and above general membership services. The attached letter submitted by the Chamber of Commerce outlines their non-profit relationship to the business community and some of the services that are currently provided or could be provided to Albemarle County. RECOMMENDATION: This summary is provided for the Board's information and for determining whether the Chamber should submit a funding request for FY 01.

Dittmar President Joyce Kaswandik Membership Services [] [] [] [] COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA TITLE: Mediation Center Proposal SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Proposal from the Mediation Center to the 2000 General Assembly STAFF CONTACT(S): Tucker, White AGENDA DATE: December 1, 1999 ACTION: CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: ATTACHMENTS: Yes REVIEWED BY: ITEM NUMBER: INFORMATION: X INFORMATION: BACKGROUND: Our local Mediation Center, located at Focus, is one of eight mediation centers around the state who have joined together as the Virginia Coalition of Community Mediation Centers. The Coalition will be seeking funding from the Virginia General Assembly for a public-private partnership that will provide conflict resolution services on broad community issues. The centers are currently unable to be proactive in providing conflict resolution assistance to localities for community wide issues due to lack of funding. Currently their funding comes mainly from fees, donations and limited local support. DISCUSSION: The attached information from the local Mediation Center provides a summary of the key elements of the proposed legislation and the key benefits to both the state and local communities. Information is also provided on the impact and financial benefit of mediation services from the eight centers throughout the state, as well as the benefit of the local Mediation Center to the Albemarle/Charlottesville community. RECOMMENDATION: This information is provided for the Board's information and does not require any action at this time. Ms. Carolyn Miller, Director of the local Mediation Center, will give a brief presentation to the Board. cc: Ms. Carolyn Miller 99.220 Virginia's Community Mediation Centers Proposal For the V'wginia General Assembly 2000 Virginia's communities are faced with many complex issues critical to the economic, social and environmental health and welfare of these communities. Too often, interpersonal and community conflict escalates to a level where individuals, groups and communities are deeply divided. Such unresolved conflict and impasse can be costly, in human terms as well as in legal and administrative costs. In a number of communities across Virginia, there exists a resource to address community issues and devise creative solutions. Eight community mediation centers currently provide mediation services, most often in the area of interpersonal and family dispute resolution. Because their funding comes from fees for services, donations, and some local support, most mediation centers are not able to be proactive in offering conflict resolution for issues impacting the community. The Virginia Coalition of Community Mediation Centers proposes to seek funding from the Virginia General Assembly for a public-private partnership that will provide conflict resolution services for issues impacting the community. The kinds of community conflict resolution services to be provided will be decided on a local basis to meet local needs and priorities. Examples of the kinds of issues with community impacts that may be addressed are: Schools, e.g., peer mediation, violence prevention, truancy prevention · Community policing, e.g., citizen complaints Victim-offender and accountability conferencing Economic development, e.g., business/neighborhood disputes Local government, agency, and community disputes Community conflict resolution education Other needs, e.g., elderly and multiculmral tensions Key elements of the proposed legislation: · $500,000 per year for each year of the next biennium. · Each of the eight community mediation centers will receive $50,000/year to meet currently unmet needs in one or more of the issue areas listed above. The eight community mediation centers are located in Charlottesville, Fairfax, Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg, Norfolk, Richmond, Roanoke and Warrenton. · To enable the start-up of one or more community mediation centers in under-served regions of Virginia, $50,000/year will be allocated by the fund administrator. · The Institute for Environmental Negotiations (lIEN) at the University of Virginia will serve as fund administrator and will receive $50,000/year to disburse funds, to coordinate data collection and evaluation, and to provide training, consultation, and technical assistance to the community mediation centers for the purpose of building a local capacity to address the kinds of comrmmity issues listed above. Key benefits of the proposal: · Provides early intervention to prevent costs to the communities of unmitigated conflict, community disruption and ill-will, litigation, and violence. · Meets nnmet community needs that cannot be met by the private sector alone. · Increases community access to conflict resolution resources. · Conforms with state policy that encourages the use of mediation and similar dispute resolution processes. · Conserves state resources by accessing volunteers, coordinating statewide efforts, and leveraging foundation and community funds to support the program. · Improves community self-governance and empowerment. · Provides accountability through statewide reporting and evaluation. · Establishes an innovative public-private partnership to meet community needs.

Martin, Chairman Board of Supervisors County of Albemarble 401 Nc.[ntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902-4596 Dear Chairman Martin: We would like to thank you for the wonderful information on Albemarble County and your letter of November 3"~, Albemarble County certainly should be proud of its impressive contribution to the rich history of our great country. Pacific County is very interested in pursuing your proposed "sister county" relationship. Although we are also unsure of the specifics such a relationship might entail, we are excited about the unique role each of our counties played in the Lewis and Clark expedition. At a recent public meeting the Board of Commissioners passed a motion to support this proposed program and we look forward to discussing the specifics in greater detail. For now, please continue to direct your correspondence through me as chairman although in the future we may designate a staff person as a more appropriate contact. In closing, we would like to thank you again for your inquiry and feel our potential relationship would be a benefit for everyone involved. We look forward to discussing this in further detail.

KAINO, 3R., Chairman Pacific County Board County Commissioners Pacific County Friends of Lewis & Clark Mayor Ken Ramsey, City of Long Beach, WA BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA TITLE: Acquisition of Conservation Easements SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Clarification of Issues Related to Program Implementation STAFF CONTACT(S): Tucker, White, Cilimberg, Benish, AIIshouse AGENDA DATE: December 1, 1999 ACTION: X CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: A'I-FACHMENTS: No ITEM NUMBER: INFORMATION: INFORMATION: REVIEWED BY: BACKGROUND: At the BOS meeting on November 3, 1999 the ACE committee presented its final report, at which time the BOS directed staff to identify ACE-related issues that need further discussion. Staff from the County Executive's Office, County Attorney's Office, Department of Finance, and Department of Planning and Community Development subsequently met to review some potential implementation issues and questions. DISCUSSION: The following questions need further discussion and/or decisions by the Board and staff before full adoption and implementation of the proposed ACE program: Should the Board take public comment on the concept of an ACE program before the County Attorney drafts an ACE ordinance, or should the ACE ordinance be drafted first and then submitted to the BOS for public comment? Staff's recommendation is that the public should have the opportunity to comment on the concept of an ACE program before an ordinance is drafted. This sequence of events would help the County understand public concerns regarding the program, would give the County additional valuable insight into how an ACE program might best work, and would help the County avoid the mistaken appearance that the public was not consulted prior to the adoption of the ACE program. What calendar or timeline should be established for application periods/purchase dates? Staff recommends that applications should be taken throughout the course of the year, but the purchase of conservation easements should take place only once, at the end of the year. This arrangement would minimize the likelihood that the County would exhaust the annual ACE budget on marginal properties early in the year and, subsequently, have no money left for the purchase of easements on desirable properties that might become available later. In the event that an eligible property is not admitted into the program during a particular year, the property's eligibility could be rolled over into the next year. To what extent should the County acquire easements on marginal properties? Although the proposed annual application process, which would purchase conservation easements only once during the year, may help screen out marginal properties, the situation could arise when only marginal properties, i.e. ones receiving the minimal number of qualifying points, have submitted applications. If and when that situation occurs, the County will need to decide if it wants to purchase these marginal properties or hold funding until more desirable properties apply. Should specific criteria be developed for ranking properties that are adjacent to County growth areas? The Board of Supervisors should consider whether or not a special set of criteria should exist for ranking properties adjacent to the County's growth areas. In the event that the County purchased easements on properties next to the growth boundary, and subsequently decided to extend this boundary, the County would have an additional obstacle to providing services to the expanded growth areas. Additionally, points should be assigned to properties located in groundwater recharging areas. This allowance is not included in the ACE committee's final report. AGENDA TITLE: Acquisition of Conservation Easements December 1, 1999 Page 2 What is the methodology for appraising the value of conservation easements? Appraisal methodology exists for determining the dollar value of conservation easements, although neither the committee or the staff has determined the most appropriate and beneficial method at this time. The BO$ should be aware that the appraisal technique that would be used for the ACE program will be determined at a future time. Should the dollar amount offered by the County to purchase the conservation easement on a property be negotiable or non-negotiable? Staff recommends that the dollar amount offered for the purchase of a conservation easement should be non-negotiable, i.e., the property owner can either accept the offer, or reject it. Opening the price to negotiation would likely encourage haggling over development rights, and would greatly complicate the ACE process. Who will pay the attorney fees, title search, land survey (if necessary), and appraisal fees on properties for which the County would like to make an offer? Attorney fees, title search, land survey, and appraisal fees could be paid by either the seller of the conservation easement or the County depending on the circumstances of the sale. If, for example, the seller does not furnish the County with an adequate description of the property, the seller would pay the cost of having a land survey completed. The Board of Supervisors should determine who would pay what under an ACE program. Should Albemarle County or some other entity £e. the recreational authority, be the holder of acquired easements? Either Albemarle County or another entity could hold the easements. The advantage of having the County hold the easements is that, in the event that a buy-back clause were adopted, buy-backs would be administratively simple. The advantage of having another entity hold the easements is that buy-backs would be subject to less political pressure than might be the case if the County held the easements. Should. the ACE ordinance give property owners the option to buy back the conservation easement on their property after some number of years.? Allowing buy-backs could mean that land the public thought would never be developed might come under development someday. This possibility could undermine public confidence in the program. The County, on the other hand, might have a compelling need for land held under conservation easement and might find that a release and substitution clause in the ordinance would be beneficial. RECOMMENDATION ~ These questions are raised for the Board's discussion and do not necessarily require a specific action or decision at this time. If the Board wishes to hold a public hearing prior to developing an ordinance, then many of these questions can be resolved subsequent to public input. However, should the Board wish to have an ordinance drafted prior to the public hearing, decisions would need to be reached on the calendar, growth area criteria, negotiable/non-negotiable offers, payment of fees, surveys, etc., easement holder, and buy-backs. 99.218 Appalachian Restoration Campaign a project of Heartwood POB 2786 Charlottesville. VA 22902, (804) 971-3898, (804) 970-1806 fax, arcmaps@firstva, com, www. heartwood, org/ARC November 23, 1999 Albemarle County Board of Supervisors 401 Mclntire Rd Charlottesvil.le, VA 22902 Dear Supervisors: Please accept the following comments on the November 3, 1999, Final Report on Albemarle County's Acquisition of Conservation Easments Program. The Appalachian Restoration Campaign has adistinct interest in conserving, private, lands in Appalachi~s part of our overall goal of maintaining~ecol0gical-diversity and economic' vitality, for Ire.region: We att know what an amazing place Albemarle County is, but.we must enable:programs to support the. ecological tmderpinnings-of, our quality of life. F/rst and foremost any conservation easement wogrammust.be pro active. I have the advantage,, or. perhaps misfortune, to have lived in the top two counties with such programs. I grew up in Chester County, PA which experienced an explosion of growth in the 1980's doubling its population in 20 years and massively'and permanently transforming the landscape. [ worked and voted for the $5Omiltion dollar bond that. enabled the current open-space protection plan in Chester County. It has serious.flaws in my opinion. Developers have manipulated the.systems and where farms and forests once stood golf courses are springing up under this program. That is NOT what I voted for. nor what most have in mind when they think of conservation. For Albemarle County the challenges will be the same. After leaving college, I moved to Montgome'~ County, MD, the number one county in terms of acreage protected under conservation easement (see Appendix B). One might think that these counties with strong programs have retained their original rural nature. It is a great truth and irony of our culture that we react, instead of pro-act. Montgomery County is nice place to live, but its rgral nature ~s gone. It is one of the most fragmented and developed counties in the nation. Albemarle County has the opportunity to prevent this type of growth. Albemarle County has a serious challenge right now. We must prevent explosive development through a s[rong and PRO-active conservation easement program. This program cannot be the only effort we have ro protect lands. It must~ as the Report appropriately states, complement other efforts. Here are my specific comments on the report: 1. The opening paragraph (in italics)~ stressing that this is a single arrow in a quiver, is excellent. 2. The County Comp Plan must be amended to elevate Purchase of Development Rights as an integral part of County efforts to protect open space and control growth. As of now, I believe, it is a "Potential Technique." 3. Under eligibility (p. 5) property that is not zoned in the Comp Plan as consistent with protection should be given priority for rezoning as per landowner request. In other words, if I own a hot piece of property in a current or future growth area, I should not be disqualified from this program simply because the Comp Plan has my property already developed. This is the single biggest flaw of programs like these. They often protect parcels that are not threatened with development, when the point is to protect those that are. I recommend changing this eligibility requirement. 4. My biggest contention with this program is the perpetuity clause on p. 8. This seems to undermine the entire document by providing an escape route for "essential [development] for he orderly growih and development of the locality." This is shocking language in a conservation document, and should be deleted. This calls to question the entire program. There is ample evidence that, for example, wetlands "banking" as a means of mitigating wetlands destruction, is failing at a rate of greater than 60%. Without a strong program, there is really little incentive for entrance into the program by landowners truly dedicated to conservation. IfI am overstating this issue, I'd be. happy to hear an explanation. 5. The Ranking System. a. The prioritization of persons with modest income is excellent. I would hold this as the best part of this plan, as I mentioned above, too often these programs are tax shelters for the rich, and games for developers. In order to further the county's goals of conservation and landowner relations, favoring modest incomes is essential. b. The ranking system seems to prioritize ecologically significant lands, but this needs to be made explicitly clear. If there are state listed species, the property should be considered a priority. In addition GIS analysis by other agencies, or non-profits like ARC can be incorporated to prioritize acquisition areas. c. More definition is necessary, to guide this,system. Fo~ example, "natural resources" on p.6 is not defined. What specifically are we looking for? Biological hot spots or simply forested/farmed tracts? d. I feel strongly that aesthetics' should not. be considered as a part of'these programs. Aesthetics are important'but only superficially:. In this ligh~ :I would remove... Section IH. 3 a &'b..' Road. frontage should'not be favored~ even though these, areas' will be first on the .developer's lists: e.. In addition, I fin&it.hard to believe that the v. iewshed of Monticello is a criteria.at all. Considering the. County's approval of the. Pantops hill desecration, this is laughable. Eliminate the Monticello.Viewshed points. Overall, I support this program and encourage the County to continue on this tract in order to protect our quality of life.and provide a proactive approach to private lands conservation. I would be more than happy to assist in refining the ranking system or finding areas of high priority basedon existing ecological classification criteria with. ~ analysis. Please include my comments as part of the official record. Sincerely, Jason Halbert Coordinator BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Chades Martin, Chair Albemarle County Board of Supervisors 200 Pineridge Lane Charlottesville, VA 22911 DISTRI~UTI::D TO ffOARD A~EA~BERS 24 November, Dear Mr. Martin: I am writing regarding the 3 November proposal for a purchase of development rights (PDR) or acquisition of conservation easements (ACE) program in Albemarle County. Let me begin by saying that I urge Albemarle County to put in place a strong, well thought out and well- funded PDR program soon. A PDR program can provide direct protection for different essential resources. It can provide Iow and middle income residents with compensation for their contributions to the common good. A PDR program can separate natural resource protection from short term economic goals. A PDR program can avoid so many of the flaws and fallacies embodied in the rural areas strategies of the current (1989) comprehensive plan. In my view, a successful PDR program will be rooted in an analysis of open space resource needs and should mirror priorities established in the comprehensive plan. There should be careful, explained strategic thinking about the place and goals of a PDR program relative to other open space protection measures. Goals and intended workings of land acquisition criteria should be explained. Of course, the program must aim at serving the broad common good and should be accountable to the public. The objective functioning of a PDR program is heavily constrained by the County comprehensive plan. It appears anomalous to me that this PDR proposal has arrived just as the update of the rural areas (PA) chapter of the comprehensive plan is beginning. The rural areas sections of the current plan are archaic and for many reasons in need of a broad update. If an adequate update of the PA chapter is conducted, it appears almost certain that guiding policy for the PDR program will be altered necessitating revisions soon to the PDR land acquisition criteria. Independent of the RA update, there are serious shortcomings to the current PDR proposal. Broadly speaking 1) many design decisions in the proposal are inadequately explained 2) there is no analysis of needs of the county regarding different open space resources 3) the chosen criteria do not adequately aim to protect fundamental environmental resources 4) scenic resources receive excessive support. The enclosed document presents details on my concerns. Many of these were presented previously to the committee, generally to little effect. I do not believe that the current proposal is good enough ;to steer a million dollar a year program. I do not believe it protects our environment as well as it should. However, the defects can be fixed. Here is how · 1) A modest revision of the current proposal could be adopted soon as the basis for a temporary PDR program. The revisions should include a) better explanations of objectives and strategic aims of the program b) explanations of the objectives and intended workings of all land acquisition criteria. Adoption of this temporary program will cement the County's commitment to a PDR program and provide experience in management of this type of program. 2) Upon completion of the update of the rural areas chapter of the Comprehensive Plan, a new PDR committee should be created. The new PDR committee should be composed largely of scientists and others with strong expertise in water, biodiversity and other natural resources. 3) The new PDR committee should develop a proposal for a permanent PDR program, one in which land acquisition criteria are rooted in a rigorous analysis of County open space resource needs and priorities. The new proposal should clearly reflect the updated natural resource and rural areas chapters of the comprehensive plan. A thorough update of the RA chapter of the comprehensive plan of course will strengthen the PDR program. The revised PDR proposal also should aim to correct procedural or other flaws encountered while operating the temporary program. 4) Funding for the temporary PDR program should be less than full (perhaps $ 500,000 per year). Full funding will be provided only when the revised, permanent program is adopted. This will encourage completion of the rural areas update of the comprehensive plan and implementation of the improved, revised PDR program. Revisions of the land acquisition criteria should be scheduled, so that increased knowledge of our natural resources and evolving open space resource priorities are reflected in the PDR program. For example, the County biodiVersity committee will begin work next year. The PDR acquisition criteria should be reviewed after the biodiversity committee completes its initial assessment of the state of biodiversity in Albemarle County and again after the biological inventory is completed. I believe that by following the above procedure, an extremely valuable PDR program can be pUt in place. Thank you for your consideration.

Comments on the 3 November, 1999 ACE or PDR Proposal for Albemarle County by Tom Olivier, 4632 Green Creek Road, Schuyler, VA 22969 Tel. 804/831-2408, 11/24/1999 1) The objectives of the PDR program in accomplishing resource protection are not sufficiently bounded. In the "Purpose and Application" section there is an allusion to open space protect~ion and consistency with the comprehensive plan. This section is so broad that programs with wildly different objectives could be justified. If the purpose is to protect natural resources, this should be stated clearly so that the program will not be transformed into a tourism or yet another agicultUral subsidy program. If the purpose of the program is not to protect important natural resources, citizens should be informed so that we can pursue creation of other programs within the County government to provide such protections. 2) The strategic role of the PDR program relative to other resource protection programs (such aS gift easements) is not well explained. Is the program intended to provide a mechanism for permanently protecting lands in middle and Iow income neigborhoods? In the eligibility section, on page 6, the document indicates that landowners of modest income are favored. However, the emphasis on large parcels and proximity to already protected properties may make it more of a device for mopping-up unprotected properties in wealthy neighborhoods where many easements already exist. 3) The proposal lacks an assessment or statement of assumptions regarding needs for different open space resources in Albemarle County. Without an assessment, setting priorities is likely to amount to a political exercise in satisfying constituencies for different open space resources. ~ 4) The emphasis on outside funds could damage the usefulness of the PDR program as a tool by which Albemarle County protects its identified essential resources, if outside funds for promotion of tourism become important, the PDR program could be reduced to little more than a gentrification program. 5) The criteria for land acquisition are not explained. The goals and intended workings of the cdteria should be explained so that the program remains accountable to the public and to facilitate progressive revisions of the criteria over time. 6). Protection of fundamental natural resources (water, biodiversity) is not adequately addressed. The document exhibits only the tiniest shred of awareness of the new biodiversity section of the updated natural environment chapter of the Albemarle comprehesive plan. If the PDR committee did not know how to develop better proposals for incorporating biodiversity Protection intO the ranking criteria, the committee should have sought additional expertise. The lack of addressing of biodiversity issues is poor politics, since the biodiversity section received overwhelming Public support at hearings. 7) Scenic resources are emphasized to a degree that I believe exceeds their established priority in the comprehensive plan. Spending scarce funds on scenic resources when fundamental resources are not protected is not in the common good. Many "scenic areas" are highly disturbed and poor habitat for native species. "Frontage on a public road" is favored in the ranking criteria (Appendix A, p. 2). Road frontage may provide public access to scenic views but can destroy the value of a parcel as habitat for forest interior species. Large properties are favored but small properties may be more critical and offer better value for program funds (for example, migration corridors and greenways). Farming is a lifestyle or occupation, not a natural or open space resource (see Appendix A,! p. 2, "Working family farm"). Percentage of income the owner of a property receives from agricultUre or forestry is irrelevant to the resource value of a parcel. 10) Management of natural resources on parcels after entry in the program is hardly addressed. The sample agreement (restrictions, item 4) includes a little language about forestry management. Management of areas intended as protected habitat for wildlife is a large and complex issue in conservation biology. This issue needs to be addressed fully by biologists and environrriental scientists. 11) The sample agreement (restrictions, item 7) requires that approval of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation be obtained for some outdoor activities. I assume this is a mistake.

Having now spent five wonderful years in this community, I want to give something back by way of community service. Although I now work in the area of administrative law, my original expertise as a lawyer and judge was in criminal and juvenile law. I spent six years of my legal career as a court-appointed criminal and juvenile defense attorney in the Superior Court of the 'District of Columbia. I served for a similar period as a D.C. Assistant Corporation Counsel in the Criminal Division, where I was a prosecutor. Lastly, I was a judicial · officer (Heating Commissioner) in the D.C. Superior Court for eight years, spending much of that time assigned to the criminal and juvenile courts. Thus, I have participated in the criminal justice system in every legal role. I was particularly honored to serve as the Chair of the Family Court's section of the Task Force on Gender Bias in the Courts. I also served as an adjunct professor of law at the Columbus School of Law of the Catholic University, teaching juvenile law and the law of child abuse and neglect. As a result of my years of service in the area of criminal and juvenile justice, I am convinced of the vital importance of competent and vigorous representation of all persons accused of criminal offenses. The justice system only works when all parties have a forceful voice in the proceedings. It would be a great honor to serve on the Public Defender Office Citizens Advisory Committee, where I believe that I could bring my experience and interest in the fair administration of our criminal justice system to the service of our community. I would be pleased to discuss this with you or to provide any further information which you may require, including references familiar with my work in this area and interest in our community. Thank you for your Consideration.

Marshall, Jr. Scottsville District Supervisor County of Albemarle 401 Mclntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 MICHAEL B. MERRIAM Director of Facilities Planning and Construction Dear Mr. Marshall: As we discussed yesterday afternoon, Monticello would like to improve its small, mountaintop gift shop by adding 315 net square feet ofretail space and 110 net square feet of office space. We would do this by roofing over and enclosing an existing patio on the back of the shop. Monticello's contractor applied for a permit two weeks ago with the intention of starting work this week. Past experience led us to believe that securing a building permit for this work would be routine. We are now being told that we cannot get a building permit for this work without a special use permit. County planning and zoning officials have reviewed this project and will support a special use permit. The problem, however, is timing. The addition and renovation will require closing our shop for about two weeks. We had hoped to be able to perform this work during our winter slow season. A special use permit ordinarily requires three or four months to secure. That would put this construction well into our busy season, costing Monticello over a hundred thousand dollars more in lost revenue and disappointing thousands of visitors. Amelia McCulley suggested that Monticello request an expedited permit process. According to Wayne Cilimberg, the first step is for the Board of Supervisors to "approve early acceptance and processing of a special use permit application by the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation for expansion of its museum shop at Monticello and authorize review of thaiapplication at the earliest public hearing date following its approval by the Planning Commission." BOS approval would allow this project to be submitted before the next deadline and could cut as much as a month off the process. The project would still be subject to statutory public notice requirements. Thank you for considering this matter on such short notice and for introducing it at this morning's BOS meeting. As always, your support for Monticello is truly appreciated. cc: Dan Jordan Sincerely, THOMAS JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FOUNDATION~ INC.
