[D. Public Comment Period (60-Minute Time Limit)]

AT THIS TIME.

IT IS PUBLIC COMMENT TIME, AND IT'S A 60 MINUTE PERIOD WHERE YOU GET THREE MINUTES AND YOU NEED TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

WHEN YOU COME UP ON THE PODIUM, WE ASK THAT EVERYONE BE RESPECTFUL AND NOT MAKE ANY PERSONAL ADDRESSES OR ANY, UM, INAPPROPRIATE CONVERSATION.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO'S SIGNED UP? MRS. SHERLOCKING UH, YES.

MADAM CHAIR, JAMES HARPER, MS. ROCKY, WOULD YOU START THE TIMER AFTER HIS NAME AND ADDRESS? SO WE GIVE THEM THREE FULL MINUTES TO NINE, NOT AND, UM, WE'VE, UH, PUT SOME WIPES UP THERE SINCE THE PANDEMIC HAS PICKED UP A LITTLE BIT.

WE FIGURE IF PEOPLE TOUCH THE PODIUM, IF YOU WOULD JUST WIPE IT OFF WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED AND YOU CAN THROW THE WIPE IN THE TRASHCAN.

DOES THAT COUNT TOWARDS MY THREE MINUTES? NOPE.

YOUR DINNER WILL BE OFF AFTER THAT, SIR.

I APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE MR. DALEY AS MUCH MONEY AS I CAN TODAY.

I FIGURE THREE MINUTES.

HE'S MAKING $4.

SO, UH, WHAT'S THE DAILY.

IF I COME BACK EVERY WEEK, WILL YOU SHARE PART OF THAT MONEY WITH ME? UH, MY NAME IS JAMES HARPER, 36 58 ROCKLIN ROAD, FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA.

BEFORE I BEGIN, I DO WANT THANK YOU ALL FOR SERVING.

IT IS A HARD JOB.

AND EVEN THOUGH WE CAN DISAGREE ON THINGS, AND FRANKLY, WHAT I'M SAYING TODAY IS GOING TO BE A DISAGREE WITH ALL OF YOU ALL.

BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SERVING IT'S A WE CAN DISAGREE TO DISAGREE.

WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE.

THAT'S WHAT I MEANT TO SAY.

MS. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW SUPERVISORS, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I APPEARED BEFORE THIS BODY REQUESTING A BAN ON SHOOTING AND THE CLEAR BACK SUBDIVISION I USED THE EXACT SAME FORMS USED BY BOWLING VIEW SUBDIVISION, WHICH IF YOU LEAVE MY HOME AND DRIVE DOWN ROCKLIN ROAD, TURN LEFT ON FAIRGROUND ROAD TO THE MIDDLE OF VIEW ROAD.

IT'S 1.8 MILES.

THE VOTE TO BAN SHOOTING WAS UNANIMOUS.

TURN LEFT ON, FIGURING OUT THE VOTE TO, TO BAN SHOOTING WAS UNANIMOUS IN CASE MR. FOX, YOU, YOU DO NOT REMEMBER YOU VOTED FOR THE BAN AND I'M SURE YOU REMEMBER THE FORMER CHAIRMAN, MR. MURRAY'S OUTBURST, OPPOSING THE BAN.

[00:10:01]

IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

AND WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHAT CHANGED IN 1.8 MILES.

MOST OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE RETIRED ARE NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING A GUN RANGE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I WENT TO ALL THE EFFECTED HOMES AND CLEAR BACK SUBDIVISION EXCEPT ONE.

AND THAT WAS BECAUSE I WAS WARNED THAT THIS PERSON HAD A TEMPER AND I WAS NOT INTERESTED IN A CONFERENCE CONFRONTATION.

SOME LIKE MR. HAYES, WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR TO MR. DENINO AGREED THAT HIS CHILDREN AND GUESTS WERE SHOOTING TOO LONG ON A SATURDAY.

AND OUR CONVERSATION WAS PLEASANT, BUT WE AGREED TO DISAGREE ON THE SHOOTING BAN.

MR. DENINO EVEN SAID HE TEACHES PEOPLE GUN SAFETY WHEN THEY COME OVER.

SO THAT IT'S ADMITTING THAT IT'S A GUN RANGE WITH NO PERMIT.

IT'S OATS.

YOU SEEM TO TAKE THE LEAD ON THIS BY GOING TO MR. DENINO'S HOME, TO LOOK AT HIS GUN RANGE, SET UP.

HOW MANY OTHER HOMES DID YOU VISIT? I THINK IT SAYS IT.

MR. MAYOR, THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT.

HOW MANY HOMES DID YOU VISIT TO MR. MAVE? I'VE INVITED YOU ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO SOCIAL DISTANCE HOUR IN MY DRIVEWAY.

HOWEVER, YOU COULD NOT FIND THE TIME TO MEET YOUR CONSTITUENTS YET.

YOU VOTED FOR THE GUN RANGE AND PUBLIC DISCUSSION.

MS. OATS, YOUR NEIGHBOR, MELANIE SALINAS SPOKE THAT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAD NO RECORDS OF ANY COMPLAINTS.

MR. MAY I HAVE AN EMAIL RIGHT HERE DATED JULY THIRSTY, JULY 2ND, 2020.

WHERE YOU SAY THE COMPLAINT HAS BEEN SENT TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

IF DEPUTY ROBERT S IS THAT MY THREE MINUTES? YES, SIR.

CAN I FINISH? HOW DOES THE BOARD FEEL? NOT ALLOWING HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU HAVE MR. HERBERT ENTER THIS PAGE? ALL RIGHT.

I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

I'M OKAY.

IF DEPUTY CEO WOULD HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THE MEETING, HE WOULD HAVE SAID THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS.

OFFICER SEALS SEAL ANOTHER AND ANOTHER CAPTAIN.

AND I FORGET HIS NAME SET IN MY BACKYARD ONE MORNING TO DISCUSS THE SHOOTING.

MISS OCCI DID NOT SUPPORT THE ELECTION.

I DID NOT SUPPORT YOUR ELECTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAD ANY EFFECT ON, ON YOUR, JUST TAKE THE DIRECTION FROM MS. SALINAS, MS. OATS AND FELLOW SUPERVISORS.

YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A COVENANT FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

DID MS. SALINAS FORGET TO MENTION THESE COVENANTS TO YOU? I HAVE A COPY, WHICH I'LL SHARE TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO ENFORCE.

AND I LIKE TO REFER TO NUMBER EIGHT, NO NUISANCE SHALL BE PERMITTED OR MAINTAINED ON ANY LOT.

MY WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY DEFINES A NUISANCE AS ANNOYING OR TROUBLESOME PERSON OR THING.

IN MY OPINION, AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE FOLKS WHO LIVE IN AND AROUND CLEAR BACK WOULD OCCUR THAT THIS IS A NUISANCE.

MR. DALEY, PLEASE NOTE THAT.

NUMBER NINE, 10, AND 11, IN REGARDS TO MR. DINO'S HOME, I DO EXPECT THESE COVENANTS TO BE ENFORCED.

IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN THAT I AGREE WITH MR. CARTER, BUT HE IS CORRECT THAT YOU HIRE THE ADMINISTRATOR FIRST, MS. OATS, YOU WANTING TO HEAR FROM EVERY WORKER SHOWS IN EXPERIENCE AND WILL UNDERMINE ANY ADMINISTRATOR THAT COUNTY HIRES.

MR. MAYBE I ASK YOU TO SPEAK TO THE SCHOOL BOARD PRIOR TO OVERPAYING FOR A NEW SOUP SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT EITHER DID NOT SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY GAVE A MAN THAT HAD NEVER BEEN A SUPERINTENDENT, THE HIGH SALARY IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

MR. MAYBE WE'RE ALSO ON THE PROSPECT CEMETERY BOARD.

DID YOU EVER FIND THE FINANCIAL RECORDS FROM THE DUNKIN SISTERS WHEN JOE SOLICH AND I MET WITH A CEMETERY BOARD CONSISTING OF THE DUNCAN FAMILY AND MAYOR TIWA.

THEY HAD LITTLE OVER 100,000 FOR PERPETUAL CARE FAILURE TO GET THESE RECORDS MEANS THAT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD, THE TOWN OR COUNTY WILL BE TAKEN OVER THE CARE OF THE CEMETERY.

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE MONEY WENT.

WHEN THE EDA HIRED MR. PARSONS, I QUESTIONED THE HIRE.

AS HE SEEMED TO BE A PAPER PUSHER WITH NO RECORD FOR EVER BRINGING NEW BUSINESS TO ANY PLACE HE HAS WORKED.

I REALIZED THAT HE IS A NICE PERSON.

HOWEVER, HE SAID THAT HIS SON, AFTER HIS SON GRADUATED SCHOOL, THAT HE MOVED TO THE COUNTY AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S HAPPENED.

MR. MAYVILLE ALSO ASKS YOU TO GO TO THE EDA MEETING AND ASK EACH BOARD MEMBER, WHAT DO YOU HAVE DONE TO BRING BUSINESS TO WARREN COUNTY? WARREN COUNTY NEEDS DIVERSIFICATION, SOMETHING BESIDES ANOTHER WAREHOUSE.

I'VE ALSO GIVEN YOU A COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE TRACKED IN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

AND I'M GETTING THE FEELING THAT YOU DROPPED THE BALL, THE SUGGESTION TO THE PREVIOUS BOARD OR FELL ASLEEP AND DIDN'T NOTICE

[00:15:01]

21 MILLION OR MORE MISSING.

IT BAFFLES ME THAT EACH ONE OF YOU IS NOT UP IN ARMS EVERY DAY, DEMANDING ACTION, DEMANDING ACTION, AND BEGINNING TO LOSE FAITH THAT ALL MONEY WILL NOT BE RECOVERED.

AND HOPEFULLY THE EDA HAS COMPLETED AUDITS AND ARE UP TO DATE AND WILL PUBLISH THOSE AUDITS SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN SEE FOR THEMSELVES THE LACK OF OVERSIGHT AND WHAT IS MISSING.

I'M MOVING.

AND JUST A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS TO GET OFF MY CHEST BEFORE I, THIS IS MY LAST OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF THE BOARD.

IF OUR COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY IS GOING TO RECUSE HIMSELF ON CERTAIN CASES, THEN THAT PERSON'S PAY SHOULD BE CUT IN HALF I'M TIRED OF HEARING.

I MIGHT HAVE A POSSIBLE CONFLICT.

I HAVE A CONFLICT OF HAVING COUNTY DOLLARS GO TO SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT, WHO DOES HALF THE JOB.

ALSO LIKE THE EDA TO STOP FOOLING AROUND AND TEAR DOWN.

THEY GO AFTER THEN, THERE IS NO WAY SOMEONE WILL GET, GET A RETURN ON INVESTMENT, TRYING TO FIX UP THAT STRUCTURE MERCHANTS ON MAIN STREET, COMPLAINING THAT THERE'S NO PARKING.

AND I WONDER WHY THE EDA JUST DOES BITE THE BULLET AND TEAR DOWN THE OLD STOKES SMART AND THE PARKING LOT.

MR. DALEY AT $80 AN HOUR, I FIGURED HE JUST MADE $4 OR PROBABLY $5 JUST NOW UNBELIEVABLE THIS BOARD IN THE SCHOOL BOARD FIELD, THAT OVERPAYING GETS A BETTER WORK PERFORMANCE AND PAST HISTORY.

AND SOME INDICATE THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE.

MY BEST TO EVERYONE IN WARREN COUNTY.

AND THIS IS MY FINAL ONE.

SO, UH, NO MORE.

THANKS, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU.

NEXT POINT ON OUR AGENDA IS REPORTS.

THANK YOU MR. HARPER, AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR MOVE.

MR. ROCKY, HAS ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? NO, MA'AM NO ONE ELSE HAS SIGNED UP.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? SECOND CALL IS ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY.

THIRD AND FINAL CALL.

[E. Report – Virginia Department of Transportation – Ed Carter]

UM, DR.

DAILY, DO YOU HAVE MR. CARTER FOR THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REPORT? YES MA'AM .

AND WITH THE BOARDS, UH, CONCURRENCE CONSIDERATION, MR. CARTER WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW THE SIX YEAR PLAN WITH YOU.

NICK.

NEXT WEEK'S WORK SESSION.

HE WOULD LIKE TO COME AT FOUR O'CLOCK SO THAT, UH, BECAUSE OF WHERE HE LIVES, THAT HE CAN GET BACK.

AND THEN AFTER THAT WE WOULD DO THREE OR FOUR OF OUR AGENCIES FOR THEIR BUDGET REVIEWS.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE WORK SESSION NEXT WEEK.

MA'AM OKAY.

DOES THE REST OF THE BOARD HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH FOUR O'CLOCK ON JANUARY 12TH? IF NOT, THEN WE'LL PLAN TO MEET WITH MR. CARTER THEN.

UM, THE NEXT REPORT IS YES, SIR.

THE SIX-YEAR PLAN IS AT THE SECONDARY ROAD PLAN OR THE PRIMARY.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE BOTH, SIR.

I THINK HE'LL BRING BOTH WITH HIM.

HE SAID IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR, RIGHT? CAUSE USUALLY THIS, UH, PRIMARIES NOT A LOT TO BE DONE WITH ITS NEIGHBORS.

HE THOUGHT THIS WAS LONGER.

SO I THINK IT INCLUDES THE SECONDARY.

YEAH, THE SECOND.

YEAH, THE SECOND, UH, SECONDARY ROAD PLAN.

THAT'S ALWAYS OPEN TO ADJUSTMENTS AND THEN WE GET TO HEAR HOW MUCH ALL THE MONEY THE STATE HAS TO PUT TOWARDS ROADS AND WE'LL PROBABLY GET ALL OUR ROADS PAVED NEXT YEAR.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANKS.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR? I HAVE NONE.

MOVING ON NOW TO WARREN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

[F. Report – Warren County Public Schools – Dr. Chris Ballenger]

DR.

BALLENGER.

GOOD MORNING.

UH, I HOPE EVERYBODY HAD A WONDERFUL HOLIDAYS.

UH, WE ARE, UH, BACK IN SESSION, WE STARTED YESTERDAY, SO WE'RE STILL IN OUR CURRENT MODEL OF A HYBRID.

SO WE HAVE, UH, THAT MEANS WE HAVE SOME, IN-PERSON SOME VIRTUAL LEARNING GOING ON.

UH, SO WE, WE ARE ABLE TO JUST PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF AT THE BEGINNING OF, AT THE END, UH, JUST BEFORE BREAK.

SO WE ARE LOOKING AT EXPLORING OTHER OPTIONS TO TRY TO GET INCREASED DAYS FOR OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS.

UM, SO WE'RE EXPLORING THOSE OPTIONS THIS MONTH, JUST TO KIND OF SEE WHERE WE'RE AT.

UH, CURRENTLY

[00:20:01]

ALSO ATHLETICS HAVE STARTED.

UM, UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE LIMITED TO THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS THAT CAN COME TO OUR BALL GAMES.

SO THAT IS 25.

AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT 25, CHEERLEADERS ARE INCLUDED AS SPECTATORS WITHIN THE 25.

SO WE HAVE TO DIVVY OUT THE TICKETS BETWEEN STUDENT ATHLETES AND CHEERLEADERS, SO THEIR PARENTS CAN COME.

UM, YOU KNOW, SO THAT HAS KIND OF REALLY WORKED OUT TO ABOUT ONE TICKET PER ATHLETE AND OR CHEERLEADER.

AND THEN IF WE HAVE ANY TICKETS LEFT OVER, WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING IS WE HAVE BEEN GIVING THOSE TICKETS TO OUR SENIORS SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE TWO PARENTS COME TO THE BALL GAME.

SO, UM, BUT ALL OF OUR GAMES HAVE BEEN LIVE STREAMED.

UM, YOU CAN VISIT THE, EACH SCHOOL'S ATHLETIC WEBPAGE, UH, IT'S EITHER ON THEIR HOMEPAGE OR UNDER ANNOUNCEMENTS.

THERE'S A TAB THAT'S ANNOUNCEMENTS.

UH, I KNOW THAT THE, A ROLL EXAMINER HAS BEEN HELPING US WITH, UH, SKYLINES.

I KNOW SKYLINE WILL ALSO BE MOVING TO THE, UH, NATIONAL FEDERATION OF HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS NETWORK, UM, IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, UH, ALSO WE WILL BE LIVE STREAMING WITH THE SUPPORT, UH, FROM RURAL EXAMINER, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHEN THAT STARTS UP COMING.

UM, I KNOW MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS GOING TO START, START UP THIS MONTH.

SO ONCE THOSE GAMES BEGIN, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ALSO WATCH SOME OF THE, UH, MIDDLE SCHOOL GAMES, BUT WE'RE STILL CONFINED TO THE 25 PARTICIPANTS WITHIN A FACILITY.

UM, COVID COVID DASHBOARD IS UPDATED DAILY.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR DASHBOARD, I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT THAT CURRENTLY WE HAVE, WE HAVE NINE ACTIVE STUDENT CASES AND WE HAVE THREE STAFF ACTIVE CASES.

SO ONE THING THAT WE ARE PROUD OF THAT SINCE THE, SINCE WE STARTED, NONE OF OUR CASES HAVE BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE SCHOOL.

ALL OF THE CASES HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF EVENTS OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, BUT WE HAVE BEEN VERY VIGILANT.

OUR STAFF, PARENTS, STUDENTS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB IN MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE STAYING ON TOP OF EVERYTHING.

AND SINCE SCHOOL HAS STARTED BACK SEPTEMBER 8TH, THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 38, 38 CASES FOR STUDENTS AND 27 FOR STAFF.

SO, AND WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MITIGATE THAT EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT HAVING ANY SPREAD WITHIN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

SO THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO OUR JOBS, CONTINUE TO UPDATE AND MONITOR OUR MITIGATION STRATEGIES ON A DAILY BASIS.

UM, WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF FAMILIES GOT TOGETHER OVER THE HOLIDAYS, SO WE'RE REALLY GOING TO BE, BE WATCHING.

WHAT, WHAT, WHAT THE TREND DATA IS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

SO WE, WE HAVE OUR EYE ON THAT.

WE ARE AWARE OF IT AND WE WILL DO THE BEST JOB THAT WE CAN.

THE MAIN THING IS, YOU KNOW, WE CONTINUE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ON A DAILY BASIS AND, YOU KNOW, WE CONTINUED TO BE FLEXIBLE.

SO I'M GOING TO STOP AND SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? YES, SIR.

YOU'VE HAD NINE CASES OF STUDENTS AND YOU'VE HAD BRIEFCASES OF STAFF.

HOW MANY IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN JUST SAY THE STATS? I MEAN, WE HAVE 1,468 CASES RIGHT NOW.

34 PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR STUDENTS AND ONE WRONG MOVE AND START SOMETHING IN, IN ONE OR THE OTHER SCHOOLS.

YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE.

THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY FEEL IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

I APPLAUD YOU FOR DOING THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE NUMBERS STAY DOWN, BUT THIS YOU HAD IN AT THE END OF NOVEMBER, WE HAD 859 TASTED THE END OF DECEMBER, WE HAD OVER 1400, THOSE NUMBERS DON'T THEY TELL ME THAT THAT THE PANDEMIC OR THE CASES ARE GOING UP.

I CAN, I WILL HEAR PLENTY OF GRIEF OVER ACTUALLY SAY THAT, BUT THE FACTS ARE THERE.

VACCINES HAVE STARTED,

[00:25:01]

WHICH IS A GOOD THING, BUT WE'VE GOT KIDS OUT THERE THAT, THAT, UH, I'M WORRIED ABOUT.

UH, THAT'S THE POLITICS.

UH, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND, AND WE MONITOR ON, UH, YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE CASE YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS EVERY SINGLE CASE.

UH, SPECIFICALLY SOME OF OUR CASES THAT WE ARE REPORTING, LIKE YOU'RE MENTIONING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE NINE STUDENTS THAT I, THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER, A LOT OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE VIRTUAL STUDENTS.

SO THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN OUR SCHOOLS.

WE LIST THEM ON THE COUNT BECAUSE THEY ARE A SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY ARE A PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENT AND IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO US.

AND FOR US TO BE TRANSPARENT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT, THAT IS BEING PUT OUT THERE.

UM, SO A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU SEE THESE NUMBERS, THERE MAY BE THAT ONE SCHOOL HAS TWO CASES, BUT THEY'RE BOTH VIRTUAL STUDENTS.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN OUR SCHOOLS.

AND HAVEN'T BEEN IN OUR SCHOOL SINCE SEPTEMBER, THEY'RE ALL DOING VIRTUAL LEARNING, BUT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY ON TOP OF EVERYTHING.

UM, W AS I STATED EARLIER, EACH CASE IS SPECIFIC.

AND IF IT BECOMES, I'M NOT AFRAID TO CLOSE THE SCHOOLS DOWN, IF THAT'S, WHAT, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, IF IT COMES TO THAT DECISION, THAT DECISION WILL BE MADE.

I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE OFFERING THE BEST SUPPORT FOR THE COUNTY, FOR THE, FOR THE FAMILIES, FOR OUR CHILDREN AND DOING THE BEST JOB THAT WE CAN IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THAT.

AND I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW, THE GUIDANCE, UM, BEFORE THE BREAK, THERE, THERE WAS A DOCUMENT THAT WAS SENT OUT THAT WAS IN SUPPORT OF, YOU KNOW, LIMITING ATHLETICS.

WHEN THERE, WHEN WE CAME BACK, THERE WAS A DOCUMENT THAT WAS PUT OUT FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT STATING THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT PARTICIPATING IN ATHLETICS HAS INCREASED THE SPREAD.

SO WE ARE GETTING ALL OF OUR GUIDANCE FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO THE HEALTH EXPERTS AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON A DAILY BASIS, BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR CASES, WE ARE IN CONVERSATION WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WE DON'T MAKE ANY DECISIONS ON OUR OWN WHEN IT COMES TO LOOKING AT CORN TEAMING.

AND OF COURSE WITH THIS PANDEMIC.

SO WE HAVE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM AND WE WILL RELY ON THEM ON A DAILY BASIS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I JUST LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT, MR. MAYB, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN, BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION BEHIND THOSE NUMBERS THAT ISN'T CONSIDERED.

AND I DON'T EVER GO WITH RAW NUMBERS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DRILL DOWN INTO THE NUMBERS TO DETERMINE.

SO FOR INSTANCE, MANY OF OUR INCREASES HAVE OCCURRED IN INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE LIVING AND ARE CONFINED, AND THERE'VE BEEN LARGE NUMBERS IN THOSE ENVIRONMENTS.

THE SCHOOLS, I DON'T THINK ARE THE PROBLEM.

I DON'T SEE THE SCHOOLS TRANSMITTING, UM, FROM YOUR NUMBERS, NINE ACTIVE CASES AND THREE STAFF, THE 1,437 NUMBER THAT MR. MAY, UM, W UH, REFERENCED IS FROM MARCH OF LAST YEAR, THAT'S 10 MONTHS AGO.

SO THAT'S 143 PEOPLE A MONTH IN WARREN COUNTY.

SO YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE RAW NUMBERS AND MAKE ANY CONCLUSIONS, DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS FROM THOSE NUMBERS.

SO I COMMEND YOU FOR DIGGING IN AND STAYING UNDERNEATH THE NUMBERS TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE HOT SPOTS REALLY ARE.

UM, AND SCHOOLS, IN MY OPINION, AS A PARENT, NEED TO REMAIN OPEN AS LONG AS WE CAN POSSIBLY KEEP THEM OPEN BECAUSE CHILDREN NEED TO BE ENGAGED.

SO, BUT I THANK YOU FOR THAT.

SCHOOL, THEN THAT SCHOOL, THE TEACHERS, THE PARENTS WOULD GET A LETTER.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK, UM, WHAT IS YOUR COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS? WHEN DO YOU SEND OUT ON YOUR DASHBOARD? I ASSUME YOU PUT OUT THESE NUMBERS AND IS THERE A COMMUNICATION TO LET THEM KNOW THAT YES, YOU HAVE NINE STUDENTS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT INTERACTED WITH YOUR CHILD, OR IF IT'S THREE STAFF, YOU KNOW, WAS THAT MY TEACHER, MY CHILD'S TEACHER AND WERE THEY EXPOSED? SO WHAT, WHAT IS YOUR COMMUNICATION TO MAKE THE PARENTS AND THE CHILDREN COMFORTABLE WITH, UM, WITH THE POSSIBLE OR PROBABLE EXPOSURE THERE? SO EACH AT EACH SCHOOL, IF THERE'S A CASE THAT THAT IS EITHER A STUDENT OR A STAFF THAN A LETTER FOR THAT SCHOOL GOES HOME TO THE PARENTS AND TO THE STAFF OR TO THE, YEAH.

SAY IF IT WAS TRANSPORTATION, IT WOULD BE SENT TO ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS.

YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT BE THAT IF IT WAS A, A BUS DRIVER THAT WAS INVOLVED IN, YOU KNOW, WHICHEVER SCHOOLS THAT BUS DRIVER TRANSPORTED, THEN WE WOULD SEND LETTERS TO ALL OF THOSE, THOSE FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE ON, ON A SPECIFIC BUS, SAME THING WITH A CLASSROOM.

YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITHIN A CERTAIN

[00:30:01]

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU FOLLOW UP WITH THAT.

SO IT, WE, WE SPECIFICALLY REACH OUT TO THE AREAS THAT ARE AFFECTED, BECAUSE REALLY, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THERE'S NO SENSE IN US SENDING A LETTER OUT TO THE ENTIRE DIVISION WHEN YOU HAVE A CASE THAT HAS ROADS, BUT YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR CHILD ATTENDS RESI DEFREEZE RIGHT.

SO, SO WE SPECIFICALLY TARGET THOSE SCHOOLS AND WE SEND THAT OUT.

AS SOON AS WE CAN.

WE TRY TO GET THAT WITHIN, UH, A FOUR TO FIVE HOUR TURNAROUND, BECAUSE IT TAKES A WHILE TO DO ALL OF THE CONTACT TRACING.

ONCE WE GET THE CALL AND OUR NURSES HAVE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH CONTACT TRACING.

NOW, WHAT IS YOUR PROCEDURE? IF SAY MY CHILD'S TEACHER, UM, FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS COVID POSITIVE AND SHE HAD BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM SAY THAT WEEK, AND SHE FELT ILL ON A WEEKEND THERE K THROUGH FIVE STUDENTS ARE IN THE CLASSROOM.

WHAT FOUR DAYS A WEEK, TWO DAYS A WEEK.

UM, THEN WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL SAY IF I WAS CONCERNED THAT WHILE MY CHILD WAS WITH HER, FOR DAYS, IF I WANT TO KEEP THEM HOME TO SELF QUARANTINE, THEN THEY GO TO A VIRTUAL MODE.

AND THAT IS A SMOOTH TRANSITION.

YES, THAT IS.

AND, AND WE DID, UH, SOME VIRTUAL TRIALS BEFORE, JUST BEFORE BREAK.

WE NOTICED A LITTLE SLOW DOWN, BUT WE, WE, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF OUR SOFTWARE READY.

IT WAS, UH, WE THOUGHT IT WAS UP AND GOING, BUT THERE WERE A FEW GLITCHES, BUT WE FIXED THEM.

SO IT IS A SMOOTH TRANSITION.

NOW, EVERY STUDENT HAS A DEVICE, EVERYTHING IS ONLINE.

SO ALL OF THE WORK IS GOING THROUGH OUR LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND THAT'S, WE PUSHED THAT OUT.

UH, THOSE STUDENTS ACTUALLY CAN DO THAT WORK AT HOME OR IN THE CLASSROOM FROM A LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, PLUS THE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CLASSROOM TEACHER.

BUT WHEN THEY DO MOVE, IT IS AN EASY TRANSITION TO GO FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE VIRTUAL.

SO THAT, THAT WOULD BE A CHOICE.

IT'S NOT, WELL, WE CLEANED THE ROOM, WE'VE GOT A SUB IN AND YOUR CHILD IS AFFECTED TO BE BACK.

THEY HAVE AN OPTION TO DO YES.

AND, AND IF THROUGH CONTACT TRACING, IT IS DETERMINED THAT WE NEED TO DO QUARANTINE THAT ENTIRE CLASS.

THEN WE WILL QUARANTINE THAT ENTIRE CLASS.

AND WE HAVE DONE THAT.

WE HAVE QUARANTINE IN THE ENTIRE CLASS.

WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU COVERED ALL THE BASES YOU CAN, AS YOU GO, AND THIS IS A FLUID THING YOU LEARN AS YOU GO.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

REPORTS OF THE BOARD MEMBERS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR NOT? WELL, THANK YOU.

SO I APPRECIATE THE JOB THAT EACH ONE OF YOU DO AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH YOU.

[G. Reports – Board Members, Interim County Administrator, and Interim County Attorney]

MR. CARTER.

I HAVE NOTHING MR. MABE.

UM, ARE THERE ANY NEW BAR FADED OVER THE LAST THREE WEEKS OTHER THAN THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT? THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WENT THROUGH HELPING TO SELECT FOR THE BARBECUE WELCOME, UH, UH, WORKING WITH THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TEAM TO, UH, UH, KEEP INFORMATION FLOWING BETWEEN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

AND, UH, THAT'S BASICALLY IT FOR ME.

THANK YOU, MR. FOX.

UH, JUST LIKE TAKE THE MINUTES AND EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO MR. BAILEY FOR MAKING A VACCINATION AVAILABLE AT THE 15TH STREET SCHOOL.

WE APPRECIATE THEM.

THANK YOU, MRS. OATES.

I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO, UM, CH MADAME CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT AT THE BEGINNING, UM, OF ABOUT MR. MAYOR, MR. MAYOR.

I WANT TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DID FOR A YEAR, UH, THROUGH VERY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES AS YOU CHAIRED THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, AS WELL AS CHAIRED THE BOARD.

UM, AND I'D LIKE TO ALSO INFORM ALL OF THE COMMUNITY THAT SAMUEL'S PUBLIC LIBRARY HAS A PROGRAM.

UM, IT'S BEEN HIGHLIGHTED ON W DVM AND, UM, THE, YOU CAN NOW GO IN AND, UH, RENT A WIFI HOTSPOT AND A LAPTOP TOGETHER.

YOU GET IT IN A BAG.

THERE ARE 10 AVAILABLE TO ANYONE WHO HAS A LIBRARY CARD.

AND SO I'D LIKE THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW AREAS THAT ARE THAT'S OFFERING THAT TYPE OF SERVICE.

AND I, I WANT TO COMMEND THE LIBRARY FOR TRYING TO GET VERY CREATIVE IN DOING THOSE KINDS OF THINGS TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY.

SO, UM, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, GO INTO THE LIBRARY, YOU GET ELABORATE CARD AND YOU CAN GET IN LINE TO GET A HOTSPOT.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

MADAM CHAIRMAN.

HERE, BUT WE HAD SOME WEATHER THAT HAD OUR PUBLIC WORKS, PEOPLE OUT, OUR SOLID WASTE, PEOPLE WERE STILL OUT AND I JUST WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THE JOB.

UM, AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE CHAIRPERSON, UM, AND APPRECIATE ALL YOUR ADVICE AND SUPPORT MOVING FORWARD.

UM, I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE STAFF, NOT, YOU KNOW, GOVERNMENT KIND OF CLOSED DOWN.

WE HAVE A LOT OF US HAVE NINE TO FIVE POSITIONS

[00:35:01]

THEY DID KEEPING EVERYTHING MOVING, UM, BECAUSE THEY, THEY WERE OUT PAST NINE TO FIVE.

SO I WANT TO KNOW, LET THEM KNOW THAT I APPRECIATE THAT.

UM, AND I, THE DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND INLAND FISHERIES HAS CHANGED.

THEY ARE NOW DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES, I BELIEVE IS WHAT IT'S NOW.

AND IN THE LATTER PART OF NOVEMBER, EARLY PART OF JANUARY, THEY HAVE A POLICY WHERE TO USE BOAT LANDINGS TO ACCESS THE SHANANDOAH RIVER.

YOU NOW HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT.

AND I KNOW THAT STARTED JANUARY ONE AND IT'S, UM, IT'S KIND OF AN ODD THING.

THEY MADE THIS, UH, NEW POLICY AND I HAVE CONTACTED THEM BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ACCESS THE RIVER.

SO, UM, I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

THEY, I DIDN'T GET A LOT OF ANSWERS, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO ACCESS THE RIVER AT ANY OF THE PUBLIC GAME AND INLAND FISHERY, UM, OWNED PLA UH, PLACES, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT, OR YOU CAN GET A FINE.

SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A NEW THING, AND IT'S GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS I CAN SEE IS I'M AT A WORK SESSION IN THE HOPEFULLY NEAR FUTURE, THAT WE GET A REPRESENTATIVE IN TO HAVE A, A DISCUSSION TO GET EVERYBODY ON THE RIGHT PAGE.

UM, BECAUSE THAT, THAT IS, UM, I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM, BUT OTHERWISE I DID GET MY, UM, VACCINE YESTERDAY.

AND, UM, I KNOW THAT'S A CONTROVERSIAL THING AND IT'S A PERSONAL CHOICE, BUT, UM, I DECIDED TO, YOU KNOW, TO, TO SUCK IT UP AND GET IT.

AND SO FAR, NO PROBLEM.

SO HOPEFULLY THE SECOND ONE WILL BE AS WELL.

UH, MR. LET'S SEE DR.

DALEY.

MA'AM UH, FIRST I WOULD LIKE THAT.

I ASKED THE FIRE MARSHALL, IF HE WOULD BRING HIS, A NEW CHIEF UP TO INTRODUCE HIM.

MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND COUNTY STAFF.

I FIND MYSELF ONCE AGAIN, BEFORE YOU TO ANNOUNCE ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES AFTER A METHODICAL SEARCH OF MANY HALL OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES, THE NEXT FIRE CHIEF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FIRE RESCUE SERVICE HAS BEEN SELECTED IN A WAIT YOUR CONGRESS CONFIRMATION LATER THIS MORNING, SPECIAL, THANKS TO COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR DALEY AND HR DIRECTOR CFL, AND THE MEMBERS OF THE SELECTION COMMITTEE FOR YOUR HARD WORK THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.

OVER THE PAST 35 YEARS, THIS CANDIDATE HAS WORKED FOR THE BETTERMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY RECENTLY RETIRING AS THE FIRE CHIEF OF THE ARLINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA FIRE DEPARTMENT.

HE HAS LED AND SERVED IN EVERY MAJOR CAPACITY OF THAT ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING SUPPRESSION, EMS, HAZMAT, AND FIRE PREVENTION DURING HIS CAREER, HE HAS PREPARED MANAGE YOUR COMPREHENSIVE DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET AND LET A WORKFORCE OF OVER 350 MEMBERS.

HE IS WELL KNOWN FOR BUILDING POSITIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING LABOR GROUPS, COUNTY EXECUTIVES, HIS COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE CITIZENS HE SERVES.

HE IS KNOWN AS A GO-TO LEADER, ESPECIALLY WHEN HANDLING SENSITIVE MATTERS AND WHEN GAINING SUPPORT IN MATTERS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DIVIDE THE WORKFORCE.

I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THIS CANDIDATE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND DISCUSS AT LENGTH HIS VISION OF OUR CAREER AND VOLUNTEER RESPONSE SYSTEM.

THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR ORGANIZATION ARE LOOKING FORWARD IN SERVING WITH AND UNDER THE LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE OF THIS CANDIDATE.

IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU OUR NEW FIRE, CHIEF JAMES G PANZANO THE SECOND.

HEY, GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

SO, UH, I'LL JUST START, UM, BY SAYING MADAM CHAIR.

JUST, IT'S BEEN A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU ALL.

UM, I'M HUMBLED BY ALL OF THIS DR.

DALEY.

YOU'VE BEEN WONDERFUL ON THE SENIOR STAFF.

JERRY, EVERYBODY'S BEEN KIND BEYOND, UH, TO A PERSON AND JUST, JUST WONDERFUL TO ME WHAT A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY YOU HAVE HERE.

AND I'LL TELL YOU, IT'S A PLEASURE.

MY WIFE AND I ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING, WHICH IS AN ENDEAVOR BY ITSELF.

YOU CAN IMAGINE, UM, WE HAVE FOUR CHILDREN.

MY SON'S STILL AT HOME.

I THINK HE'S GOING TO GO WITH THE HOME.

UM, BUT ALL OF THIS BEING SAID, I

[00:40:01]

AND I HAVE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO JERRY REED, THAT I WAS LIKE, MY GOD, NO WONDER I HAVE GRAY HAIR, BUT WHAT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND, UH, I'M JUST EXCITED TO BE HERE.

AND I SAY THAT VERY GENUINE.

UM, THE MEN AND WOMEN, UH, THE, UH, WARREN COUNTY FIRE AND RESCUE, UM, WITH CAREER AND VOLUNTEER ARE WONDERFUL.

EVERYONE I'VE MET HAS BEEN AGAIN, UM, VERY WELCOMING.

I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING ALONG WITH THEM.

I THINK WE CAN DO SOME REALLY POSITIVE THINGS.

CHIEF MAYBE HAS DONE SOME WONDERFUL THINGS AND I WANT TO BUILD UPON THAT PLATFORM.

UM, I'M BIG INTO INCLUSION.

I'M A BIG INTO BEING VERY FORTHRIGHT AND TRANSPARENT.

UM, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE.

SO I SAY TO ALL OF YOU, MY SINCERE THANKS.

COOL.

MADAM CHAIR.

I WOULD NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT THE CHIEF DOES RESPOND FAVORABLY TO COOKIES AND PUMPKIN BREAD.

THAT'S GOOD.

CAUSE I LIKE TO BAKE, BUT I DO NOT NEED IT AT MY HOUSE.

SO BRING HIM HERE AND WE'LL MAKE SURE HE'S INVITED ABSOLUTELY.

UH, OUR TWO FULL OUR TWO TRACKS RIGHT NOW PRIMARILY ARE THE VACCINES AND MAINTAINING OUR PROTOCOLS AND OUR VIGILANCE WITH THE COVID.

AND WE WILL CONTINUE WORKING WITH THAT.

UH, LIEUTENANT FERALS BEEN DOING A VERY COMMENDABLE JOB, EXEMPLARY JOB OF COORDINATING THAT FOR US.

AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT MOVING FORWARD.

AND AS WE DO, WE'RE WORKING ON THIS NEW BUDGET BEGINNING THAT PROCESS, UH, KIND OF DIVIDE THAT INTO FOUR CATEGORIES.

NUMBER ONE ARE YOUR AGENCIES, YOUR PARTNERS, AND YOU HAVE SOME MAJOR PARTNERS, UH, THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON YOUR BUDGET.

AND WE'LL HAVE SEVERAL OF THOSE COME IN NEXT WEEK AT THE WORK SESSION.

AND THEN WE HAVE A LARGER NUMBER OF AGENCIES THAT IMPACT OUR BUDGET.

WE PROBABLY IMPACT THEIR BUDGET MORE THAN THEY DO OURS, AND WE WILL HAVE THEM IN ON THE JANUARY 26.

UH, WITH THAT WE WILL ALSO BE WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD AND SCHEDULE THE MEETING WITH THE BOARD.

SINCE THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE IMPACT THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS IS OUR SCHOOL BUDGET.

UM, MR. MICK LIBERTY BACK THERE IS WORKING WITH THE COMMISSIONER AND THE TREASURER SO THAT WE CAN DEVELOP OUR REVENUE PICTURE AND LETS YOU SEE THAT.

AND THEN WE'LL BE WORKING FINALLY WITH OUR DEPARTMENTS AS THEY FOLD INTO THIS.

UH, IN ALL FOUR PARTS OF THIS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.

WE DON'T RAISE ONE OR THE OTHER, BUT THEY'RE KIND OF ON FOUR PARALLEL TRACKS THAT WILL COME TOGETHER IN MARCH.

UH, WE'LL BE SPENDING MORE TIME THE END OF THIS MONTH IN FEBRUARY WITH THE BOARD WORKING ON THE D THESE INDIVIDUAL PIECES, UM, REVENUES AT THIS POINT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR STILL LOOK GOOD.

WE'RE PLEASED WITH WHAT WE'VE SEEN.

WE'LL HAVE A, DO NOT HAVE THE DECEMBER REPORT YET, BUT THROUGH NOVEMBER WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH WHAT WE'VE HAD AND, UM, REMIND YOU THAT THE DRUG TASK FORCE WILL BE MEETING ON THURSDAY MORNING AT EIGHT 30 IN THE COMMUNITY SECTION BACK HERE.

AND THEN THE BROADBAND COMMITTEE WILL BE MEETING AT 2:00 PM ON THURSDAY AND EITHER BACK HERE OR OVER THERE, AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY ISSUES.

MA'AM I HAVE JUST ONE MINUTE I'M JEFF.

UH, AND WE'LL BE GETTING A BUDGET SCHEDULE MEETING, UH, AT SOME POINT, YES, I WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER COPY OF THAT BUDGET SCHEDULE.

WE'LL PUT THAT IN YOUR FOLDERS TODAY.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, DR.

DALEY, MR. HAM.

SO I'VE PROVIDED A COPY OF WARREN COUNTY CODE 56 DASH THREE, THAT Y'ALL HAVE UP THERE NOW AND TODAY YOU'RE GOING OKAY.

WELL, YOU'LL HAVE IN A SECOND TODAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING THE PROCEDURAL RULES FOR THIS YEAR.

UM, AND YOUR CURRENT PROCEDURAL RULES AND THE ANTICIPATED ONES.

THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAME, UH, ARE VERY INCONSISTENT WITH THIS COUNTY ORDINANCE 56 DASH THREE.

UM, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD REPEAL THIS AND, UM, SUGGEST THAT IT BE PUT ON YOUR NEXT, UM, MEETING FOR APPROVAL OF A PUBLIC

[00:45:01]

HEARING TO DO SO.

UH, SINCE IT'S AN ORDINANCE AND COUNTIES, IF THEY CHANGE THEIR ORDINANCES, HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC NOTICE.

FIRST, WE CAN'T JUST FIX THIS TONIGHT.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY THIS PROBABLY NEEDS TO GO BECAUSE OF COURSE YOU CHANGE YOUR PROCEDURAL RULES EVERY YEAR, BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY A COUNTY ORDINANCE THAT IS, UM, PRETTY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROCEDURAL RULES.

AND I THINK POTENTIALLY DISRUPTIVE TO THE BUSINESS OF THE BOARD.

UM, THIS WAS BROUGHT UP BY, UH, SUPERVISOR CARTER, MAYBE SIX, EIGHT MONTHS AGO.

AND, UH, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO REPEAL THIS, BUT AGAIN, WE CAN'T DEAL WITH IT TODAY BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE NOTICED EVEN THOUGH IT'S RELEVANT TO WHAT YOU'LL ALSO BE DEALING WITH TODAY OR WHAT, WHICH IS THE RULES, WHICH IS WHY I'M TALKING ABOUT TODAY.

SO THIS SHOULD BE PUT ON THE JANUARY 19TH.

UM, YEAH.

ARE WE GOING TO DISCUSS IT IN THE JANUARY 12TH WORK SESSION? YOU CAN DO IT ANY WAY YOU WANT TO DO PUT IT ON JANUARY 12TH FOR THE WORK SESSION AND THEN, UM, JANUARY 19TH AS WELL.

SO WE CAN VOTE ON IT AFTER WE UNDERSTAND IT SIMPLY SIMPLIFICATIONS.

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

AND THE JANUARY 19TH WILL BE AN AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD IN FEBRUARY IN THE EVENING MEETING.

DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE MR. HAM? I DON'T.

ON TO APPROVAL OF MINUTES, ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE MINUTES? VERY NICE.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM MR. HAM? OKAY.

MOVING

[H. Approval of Minutes]

DO WE WANT TO VOTE ON THEM INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A WHOLE MADAM CHAIR, I'D MOVE THAT.

WE VOTE ON THEM AS A WHOLE.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE VOTE TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF OCTOBER 20TH, NOVEMBER 4TH, NOVEMBER 17TH, DECEMBER 8TH AND DECEMBER 14TH.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THANK YOU.

UM, MADAM CHAIR, PERSON.

WE, WE DO A ROLL CALL.

IS THERE ANY UNFINISHED BUSINESS? MADAM CHAIR IN THE LAST MEETING, WE TABLED THE DISCUSSION AND THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 21 TO 23.

UM, AND I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, BRING THAT BACK UP TODAY.

UM, I, THE, THE PLAN THAT WAS, UH, PRESENTED AT THE MEETING ON DECEMBER EIGHT, UM, HAD SOME VERY DETAILED TIMEFRAMES IN IT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT WE APPROVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN IN ITS FRAMEWORK AND NOT APPLY THE DETAILED TIMELINES TO IT SO THAT WE CAN USE IT AS A WORKING DOCUMENT MOVING FORWARD.

UM, SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT THE BOARD ADOPT THE WARREN COUNTY, NOT ON THE AGENDA.

NO, IT'S NOT WAS TABLED.

SO IT CAN BE BROUGHT UP AT ANY, ANY POINT IN TIME ON THE AGENDA.

WELL, YOUR, YOUR EMOTION COULD BE, UH, GIVE ME ONE SECOND HERE.

THE RULES STATE THAT IF IT WAS TABLED, IT CAN BE BROUGHT UP AT ANY TIME BY ANY MEMBER IN THE FUTURE.

IF I RECALL TOO, WE TALKED ABOUT PAYMENT TO A WORK SESSION.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT WE DIDN'T VOTE ON THAT.

YOUR RULES THREE DASH TWO REQUIRE A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE BOARD TO ADD THINGS TO THE AGENDA.

AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU SAID IT WAS TABLED.

YES, SIR.

IT WAS TABLED AT THE DECEMBER 8TH MEETING.

AND MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE RULES IS THAT IF IT'S TABLED, THEN YOU CAN BRING IT UP AT ANY POINT IN THE, ON A FUTURE MEETING WITHOUT IT BEING, UM, YEAH, YOU CAN BRING IT UP, BUT IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY TAKE ACTION TONIGHT, YOU ARE THERE THIS MORNING, YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE UNANIMOUS VOTE.

IF IT HAD BEEN TABLED TO THIS MEETING, THEN IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE.

BUT IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM DR.

DAILY IS IT WAS TABLED GENERALLY.

SO YOU'RE UNANIMOUS.

UM, YOU KNOW, IF, IF THERE IS A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO ADD IT TO THE AGENDA, IT CERTAINLY COULD BE DEALT WITH THIS MORNING AND YOU KNOW, THAT VOTE, THAT RULE EXISTS.

UM, OF COURSE YOU COULD CHANGE IT TO TODAY, BUT, UH, THAT RULE CURRENTLY EXISTS TO PROVIDE MEMBERS NOTICE AS TO WHAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE CONSIDERED SO THAT EVERYBODY'S PREPARED AND, AND KNOWS WHAT'S

[00:50:01]

GOING ON.

WELL, I, DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH DISCUSSING IT TODAY? I DO AGREE WITH MR. CARTER.

WELL THEN WE CAN TABLE IT AGAIN.

WELL, IT'S ALREADY TABLED.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I THINK YOU'VE PROBABLY MADE CLEAR THAT YOU WANT IT TALKED ABOUT AT THE NEXT MEETING.

YES.

SO FROM YOUR PROCEDURES, DO WE PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA, THE NEXT MEETING? UH, YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK YOU'VE HAD A BOARD MEMBER THAT'S JUST MADE A REQUEST TO YOU TO DO THAT WITHIN THE, WITHIN THE, UH, SO IT WILL BE ON THE 19TH.

YES.

AND MRS. ROCKY, YOU HAVE THAT WERE ON THE AGENDA FOR THE 19TH? YES.

SO IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE JUST ON THE REGULAR AGENDA, NOT ON THE WORK SESSION FOR NEXT WEEK ON THE 19TH REGULAR AGENDA.

IS THERE ANY OTHER UNFINISHED BUSINESS THEN HEARING NONE WE'LL GO ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

UM, ARE THERE ANY ITEMS TO DISCUSS REPOLE MADAM CHAIRMAN? I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT WE PULL FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, AND EIGHT.

UM, THESE ARE ALL CONTRACTS THAT ARE PENDING, UM, CONSIDERATION FOR EXTENSION.

AND, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW THOSE CONTRACTS AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION, UM, BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER REALLY READ THE CONTRACTS AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND UNDERSTAND THE FULL BREVITY OF WHAT WE'RE EXTENDING.

UM, SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION TO PULL THOSE OFF.

MAY I ASK A QUICK QUESTION AND TO A WORK SESSION? ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT WE LOOK AT THESE AT A WORK SESSION? YES.

YES, VICE CHAIRMAN FOX.

I'D LIKE TO REVIEW THEM BECAUSE LAST YEAR WE VOTED ON CONTRACTS THAT WE HAD NOT LED, AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

UH, I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON AND WHAT THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH EXTENSIONS ARE AND HOW WE'VE PROCURED IT.

AND THOSE THINGS THAT I DON'T HAVE AS A HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION OR DEPAUL? SO CAN I JUST, IS CAITLIN HERE? OKAY.

SO THE, SOME OF THESE, THIS IS NOT MY PROJECT, BUT JUST MY, MY CONCERN WOULD BE THAT SOME OF THESE CONTRACTS ARE GETTING READY TO EXPIRE AND I DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, AS MRS. OATES DOES NOT, I DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL CONTRACTS THEMSELVES.

UM, AND MY CONCERN WOULD BE THAT THE CONTRACT WOULD EXPIRE AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO BE RENEWED.

AND I JUST DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT BECAUSE OF COURSE I DON'T WANT SOMETHING I WAS WORKING ON.

UM, I'LL JUST PULL A RANDOM ONE.

THAT'S THE FREDERICK ANDRE CONTRACT? UH, THE CONTRACT ITSELF, HOLD ON.

I'LL HAVE TO FIND IT IN THE CONTRACT.

I DON'T KNOW JASON.

HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.

UM, ARE THESE PARTICULAR ONES I KNOW.

UM, I CAN'T RECALL ON THESE PARTICULAR CONTRACTS.

I KNOW WE HAVE HAD LIKE A 30 DAY WRITTEN NOTICE, BUT GENERALLY IT'S RIGHT.

IT WOULD BE THE LANGUAGE WHERE I'VE SEEN IT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT SAME SECTION IN THAT PARAGRAPH.

SO PRACTICALLY SPEAKING, DR.

DAILY IS, IS TELLING ME THAT, I MEAN, THE, THE VENDORS CAN CERTAINLY WAIVE THAT.

SO IF, IF MAY BE A NON-ISSUE, BUT I'M JUST RAISING IT AND I DON'T KNOW AND KNOW THAT, UM, MS. ROSS HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE CONTRACTORS.

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WOULD HAVE ANY INSIGHT AS TO THEIR POSITION, UM, IF THEY WOULD HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE TERM EXPIRING.

UM, I THINK IF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO CHOOSE, UM, TO POSTPONE THIS ARE OUR CONTRACTORS WOULD PROBABLY BE FINE WITH THAT.

WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THEIR SERVICES DURING THAT TIME PERIOD UNTIL THE CONTRACT IS EXECUTED, UH, THE FOUR ANNUAL TERM CONTRACTS FOR, UM, MOSLEY, LPGA, FRED, ANDREA, AND FRAZIER AND ASSOCIATES WERE ALL PROCURED THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WITH INITIAL ONE-YEAR TERM, WITH FOUR RENEWALS THAT WAS ALLOWABLE UNDER, UH, VIRGINIA'S PUBLIC PROCUREMENT

[00:55:01]

ACT.

THE DAVENPORT CONTRACT WAS DONE THROUGH A RIDER CLAUSE THROUGH GLOUCESTER COUNTY.

AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS AN INITIAL ONE-YEAR PERIOD WITH NINE RENEWALS.

SO THAT'S HOW THEY WERE PROCURED.

WHAT ARE THE EXPIRATION DATES, BRANDY ON THE, THE ARCHITECTURAL ONES THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING? ARE THEY THE END OF JANUARY? UM, I THINK I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DATE THAT EACH ONE OF THOSE WAS SIGNED, SO THEY WILL BE EXPIRING SOON.

THIS IS THE LAST RENEWAL FOR THOSE FOUR.

SO AT THE END OF 2021, WE WILL NEED TO ISSUE ANOTHER INVITATION OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, UM, REVIEW THE PROPOSALS, INTERVIEW THE CONTRACTORS AND ARCHITECTS, AND DETERMINE WHO WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO UTILIZE.

UM, UNDER THE ANNUAL TERM CONTRACT.

I WAS CURIOUS AS TO KNOW, BECAUSE IF IT'S THE END OF JANUARY, THEN WE HAVE TIME TO, YEAH.

IT'S NOT, I THOUGHT I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT ISSUE AND YOU CERTAINLY CAN POSTPONE IT.

AND IT'S FINE TO DO THAT.

I'M JUST RAISING AN ISSUE THAT IF THERE'S ONE OF THESE THAT YOU REALLY WANTED TO HANG ON TO, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BUY IT.

I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND AS WE MOVE FORWARD, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO DO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL AGAIN, WHAT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE FOR THESE AND WHY WE'RE ENGAGING THEIR SERVICES AND WHAT THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, WHY WE HAVE FOUR ARCHITECTURAL INSTEAD OF MAYBE TWO? I DON'T KNOW.

UH, TECHNICALLY WE HAVE TWO ARCHITECTS, MOSTLY, MOSTLY DOES THE LARGER ONES.

UH, FRED, ANDREA DOES THE SMALLER PROJECTS LPGA AS A LANDSCAPE FRASER AND ASSOCIATES DOES MORE OF SIGNAGE, UM, AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

OR THAT'S WHAT WE TYPICALLY UTILIZE THEM FOR.

UH, THERE IS NO COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE SIGNING OF THE CONTRACTS.

UM, IT JUST ALLOWS US TO ENGAGE THEM IN ACTIVITIES WITHOUT HAVING TO ISSUE AN INVITATION FOR BID.

UM, THERE ARE LIMITS AS TO WHAT INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS CAN, CAN BE.

I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OR RIGHT AROUND THERE, AND THERE'S A LIMIT ON THE TOTAL FOR THE YEAR, I BELIEVE.

UH, BUT ANYTHING OVER 20,000, EVEN UNDER THE CONTRACTS COMES BACK TO YOU GUYS FOR CONSIDERATION.

UM, SO IF ANYTHING WAS SIGNED OVER THAT AMOUNT, YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE IT FIRST.

THANK YOU, BRANDON.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

ADAM CHAIRMAN WERE ALL MY CONTRACTORS A WEEK MAYBE TO GET BACK THE SIGNED CONTRACT, MAN.

I WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD DO THAT.

[I. Consent Agenda]

J MEETING POLICY AND PROCEDURE, PUBLIC HEARING GUIDELINES.

DR.

DALEY.

COULD CO-EXIST AND YOU ALL MAY ULTIMATELY DECIDE NOT TO REPEAL 57 56 DASH THREE.

MA'AM I THINK MR. HAM HAD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

THESE ARE THE SAME PROCEDURES THAT YOU HAVE HAD FROM LAST YEAR.

ANY CHANGES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IN THEM? THESE ARE IDENTICAL LISTS AS TO THOSE ADOPTED LAST YEAR, WE MADE A COUPLE OF CHANGES THROUGH THE YEAR.

UM, I HAVE NO OTHER FURTHER SUGGESTIONS.

I WOULD KNOW OTHER THAN THE 56 DASH THREE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, BUT WE CAN'T HANDLE THAT TODAY.

SO HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO NOPE, UH, FOR THE RECORD, MA'AM THE LAST PAGE THERE OF THE PUBLIC SPEAKING CONDO.

WHEN YOU ADOPT THIS, MRS. SCHROCK, YOU DID THIS FOR US TO PUT OUT, SO WE CAN TO MAKE THIS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYBODY TO EASILY READ AND SEE THAT KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TALKING TO.

SO, MR. HAM, SINCE YOU HAVE, UM, 56 DASH THREE ITEM HERE, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE US TO PROCEED ON THIS TO TABLE THIS UNTIL THE JANUARY 19TH MEETING? UH, I, IT WOULD BE BEST TO ADOPT THE MEETING POLICY AND PROCEDURES TONIGHT.

THIS IS ALSO THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING AND THEN TO DEAL WITH THE 56 DASH THREE LATER, UM, BOTH OF THESE THINGS

[01:00:01]

UH, GUIDELINES ARE DOCUMENTED.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS ON THIS? DO I HAVE A MOTION, JEREMY? YES, SIR.

I'M OVER THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ARE DOCUMENTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES AND PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATE.

DO I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND WE'LL CALL PLEASE.

MRS. ROCKY.

MR. MABE.

ALRIGHT, MR. FOX, MADAM CHAIR.

[K. Request – Approval of Performance Agreement with Silent Falcon UAS Technologies – Doug Parsons]

NEXT IS APPROVAL OF THE COMMONWEAL'S DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FUND PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WAS SILENT FAC UH, FALCON, MR. PARSONS.

HELLO, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE.

UM, AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE SUCCESSFULLY LANDED SILENT FALCON INTO THE COMMUNITY AND AS PART OF THE COMPETITIVE PROCESS WHERE WE, UM, COMPETED WITH SEVERAL STATES AND OTHER COUNTIES WITHIN VIRGINIA, WE PUT TOGETHER A, UM, A, A PORTFOLIO OF STATE AND LOCAL INCENTIVES.

I BELIEVE YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE AND MR. HAM I BELIEVE HAS REVIEWED IT, UM, AS WELL AS THE LEASE.

SO I'M GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OR, UM, HAVE ANY DISCUSSION YOU WOULD NEED ON THIS, BUT WE WOULD, WE WOULD LOVE TO GET YOUR APPROVAL FOR THIS AGREEMENT.

UM, IF YOU WOULD APPROVE IT, THEN WE WOULD DO SO TOMORROW MORNING AT OUR BOARD MEETING AND THEN THE STATE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE, UM, LIKES TO BE THE LAST TO SIGN OFF ON ONE OF THESE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENTS AND THEY WOULD DO SO LATER THIS MONTH, I ASSUME, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS FOR ? IT SEEMED LIKE ALL RIGHT, EXCITING THING TO BE HAPPENING OUT AT THE AIRPORT.

IT IS, AND I THINK IT MIGHT LEAD TO MORE ACTIVITY.

I KNOW A LOT OF THE FOLKS ON THE AIRPORT COMMISSION HAD BEEN WORKING ON A COUPLE OF PROJECTS, UM, AROUND UAVS AND HOPEFULLY BRINGING THIS COMPANY IN WILL HELP THE ANCHOR THE AIRPORT A LITTLE BIT AND BRING SOME EXTRA ACTIVITY OUT THERE AND SMART COMMERCE FOR THE COUNTY AND THE COMMUNITY AND HELPING IT THERE'LL BE MORE TO COME AFTER THAT.

I HOPE SO.

WE'LL WORK FOR IT.

MADAM CHAIR, JUST TO REMIND YOU, THERE ARE THREE PIECES TO THIS.

YOU ADOPT THIS AS K ONE, THIS PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT, AND YOU ADOPT THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT AS KATE TOO.

AND THEN YOU HAVE ALREADY AUTHORIZED THE HEARING FOR JANUARY 19TH ON THE LEASE OF OUR SPACE AT THE AIRPORT.

UM, IN ESSENCE, WE ARE COMMITTING $25,000 FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR FACILITY OUT THERE.

AND WE ARE COMMITTING TO REBATE.

SOME OF THE TAXES PAID OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, AND THOSE WILL BOTH GO THROUGH THE EDA WILL BE A MECHANISM AND THERE'S NO PAYMENT OR ANYTHING UNTIL THE FIRST HALF IS DONE UNTIL THE, WE DON'T PAY THE 25,000 UNTIL THERE IS A CONTRACT FOR THE FLOOR AND THE FLOOR IS BEING DONE AND WE DON'T REBATE ANYTHING UNTIL TAXES ARE PAID.

THESE ARE PERFORMANCE-BASED INCENTIVES.

IT'S NOT CASH UPFRONT TO THE COMPANY.

THEY MUST PERFORM FIRST TO RECEIVE ANY OF THEM.

THE INCENTIVES ON EITHER THE STATE OR THE LOCAL LEVEL IN THAT PERFORMANCE IS OUTLINED IN THE PARAMETERS OF THE AGREEMENT.

UM, SO IF, IF THEY DON'T HIRE THE PEOPLE THEY SAY THEY DO, AND THEY DON'T MAKE THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT, THEN THEY DON'T GET THE INCENTIVES.

THAT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE IN VIRGINIA CODE SAYS THEY HAVE TO PAY A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THEIR TAXES BEFORE THEY GET A PERCENTAGE REBATE BACK.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS ON K ONE? DO I HAVE A MOTION? THE CHAIR I MOVED AT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AUTHORIZED THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE COMMONWEALTH DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FUND PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT TO THE INCENTIVE TAB AS SOLID FALCON USA, UAS TO ESTABLISH ITS EASTERN US HEADQUARTERS, THE R AND D AND MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS AT DIFFERENT ROYAL WARREN COUNTY AIRPORT.

ALRIGHT, MR. FOX, MADAM CHAIR.

I MISS OATS.

HI, MR. CARTER.

ALL RIGHT, MR. PARSON.

UH, THANK YOU.

AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE FOLKS HERE AT THE COUNTY THAT HELPED US WITH THIS, OR THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE INVOLVED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP.

L AGREEMENT FOR THE USE OF THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES GYMNASIUM TO THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOR THE PURPOSE OF IT ADMINISTRATING VACCINES, MS. JORDAN, SO FORD FAIRFAX HEALTH DISTRICT HAS REQUESTED TO USE THE GYM LOCATED AT THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMPLEX TO ADMINISTER THE CORONAVIRUS VACCINE, UH, TO RESIDENTS OF THE HEALTH DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE WARREN COUNTY RESIDENTS.

I AM

[L. Request – Approval of Agreement for Use of the Health and Human Services Complex Gymnasium to the Virginia Department of Health for the Purpose of Administering Vaccinations – Caitlin Jordan]

UM, SINCE THE COUNTY OWNS THE HEALTH AND SERVICES COMPLEX, I HAVE PREPARED A LEASE THAT WOULD BE BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND, AND THE HEALTH DISTRICT REGARDING THE USE OF THE GYM FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF ADMINISTERING THE VACCINE TO RESIDENTS.

A COPY OF THE LEASE WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR YOU TO REVIEW, BUT I WILL HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THE KEY PROVISIONS.

UH, THE FIRST IS THAT THE LEASE IS FOR AN INITIAL TERM OF ONE YEAR WITH THE OPTION TO RENEW AN ADDITIONAL YEAR.

UM, THE INITIAL TERM WILL BEGIN ONCE THE LEASE IS FULLY EXECUTED AND END ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2021, THE LORD'S FAIRFAX LORD FAIRFAX USE OF THE GYM WILL BE NON-EXCLUSIVE.

SO THEY WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE A SCHEDULE OF WHEN THEY PROPOSE TO USE THE GYM TO ADMINISTER THE VACCINE, THE COUNTY WHO OVERSEES THE SCHEDULING OF ACTIVITIES AT THE GYM.

WE'LL REVIEW THAT AND LET THEM KNOW IF THERE'S ANY SCHEDULING CONFLICTS.

THE LEASE MAY BE TERMINATED BY EITHER PARTY, UM, BY GIVING THE OTHER 30 DAY WRITTEN NOTICE.

HOWEVER, THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR MAY IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE THE LEASE IF THE TERMS ARE BEING VIOLATED, OR IF THERE IS A HEALTH CONCERN FOR EMPLOYEES, RESIDENTS, UM, OR THE PUBLIC AND THE COUNTY IS NOT GOING TO REQUIRE LORD FAIRFAX TO PAY RENT FOR THE USE OF THE FACILITY AS THEY ARE PROVIDING A SERVICE FOR, UH, RESIDENTS OF WARREN COUNTY.

AND NOW WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE BOARD MAY HAVE.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR MRS. JORDAN? JUST ONE.

UM, AND MAYBE IT'S IN HERE, BUT ARE YOU REQUIRING ANYTHING FROM THEM? AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY GOT IT.

AS FAR AS PROOF OF INSURANCE, WE ARE REQUIRING THEM TO IDENTIFY THE COUNTY.

WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED THAT WITH DR.

DALEY AND WHAT WE WANTED TO REQUIRE, JUST CONSIDERING THE NATURE OF THE LEASE.

WE'RE NOT REQUIRING INSURANCE AT THIS TIME, BUT THEY ARE, UM, BECAUSE WE'RE FAIRFAX DOES HAVE, DOES HAVE, UM, INSURANCE, BUT WE DID INQUIRE REQUIRE A PROVISION THAT THEY WILL INDEMNIFY THE COUNTY IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN THROUGH THE USE OF THE FACILITY.

DO THAT RATHER THAN HAVING TO TRANSPORT ADDITIONAL, ADDITIONAL TIME.

WHAT, I MEAN, THAT'S THE THING TOO, I GUESS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE COUNTY WOULD BE ADDED ON AS AN ADDITIONAL INSURED, IF SOMEBODY GETS HURT WHILE THEY'RE GETTING THE VACCINE, UH, I GUESS THEY HAVE A REACTION THAT WOULD BE ON THE MONTH, UH, THE HEALTH DISTRICT OR HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BUT SOMEBODY COMES IN THEIR TRIPS OR WHATEVER, I GUESS, JUST LOOK AT THAT AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT IF THEY SUED THE MOST WHO EVERYBODY AND THAT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL SHORT, I GUESS WE GET WHERE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION WOULD YOU CONCUR WITH THAT, MR. HAM? YEAH.

UM, YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING THE LORD FAIRFAX HEALTH DISTRICT HAS SEEN THIS THOUGH, AND, AND THEY'RE HAPPY WITH IT.

WE HAVE SENT IT TO THEM.

I'M AN AWARE OF A RESPONSE.

UM, BUT I KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN SENT TO THEM AND WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.

WE ARE WORKING UNDER IT, BUT THEY ARE ALREADY, THEY HAVE STARTED USING THE FACILITY ALREADY, UM, TO ADMINISTER THE, TO PROVIDE THE VACCINE FOR, I BELIEVE FIRST RESPONDERS AND HEALTH PERSONNEL ALREADY.

UM, THE ROLLOUT IS SAID OF THE VACCINE IS FLUID.

IT'S VERY FLUID.

AND WE DON'T KNOW, WHAT'S GOING TO SHOW UP HERE EXACTLY WHEN, AND WHO'S GOING TO HAVE IT.

AND WHAT GOES THROUGH LORD FAIRFAX HEALTH DISTRICT, THEY ARE ADMINISTERING, THIS WAS THE BEST SITE FOR THEM TO USE, TO

[01:10:01]

SO WE HAVE ADOPT WE'VE USING THIS AND THEY HAVE IT.

AND WE STARTED LAST WEEK AND WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THEIR NEXT VACCINE, WE KNOW IT WILL BE THE END OF JANUARY, BUT THEY MAY HAVE SOME IN-BETWEEN THAT.

AND NOW, AND WE'LL WAIT TO SEE, UH, WE WILL BRING UP THE IDEA OF AN ADDITIONAL INSURED ON THERE.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? DO I HAVE A MOTION? MADAM CHAIR, I MOVED THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AUTHORIZED THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT FOR THE USE OF THE WARREN COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, COMPLEX GYMNASIUM FOR AN INITIAL LEASE TERM OF ONE YEAR, BEGINNING THE DATE, THE EXECUTION UNTIL DECEMBER 31ST, 2021.

AND WITH ONE ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR TERM, IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND ROLL CALL, MRS. SHIRAKI MR. CARTER, MISS OATS.

MADAM CHAIR.

AYE, MR. FOX, MR. MABE.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU, JORDAN.

AT THIS TIME, WE'LL BE GOING INTO A CLOSED SESSION.

GOT ANOTHER ITEM.

ONE MORE ITEM WHERE THE TOURISM I'M SORRY.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL TAKE YOURS.

[M. Request – Amend Advisory Committee’s Name to “Front Royal Warren County Joint Tourism Committee” and Enter into a New Memorandum of Agreement – Caitlin Jordan]

TO AMEND THE COMMITTEE'S NAME TO FRONT WORLD WARREN COUNTY JOINT TOURISM COMMITTEE AND ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT.

THAT I BELIEVE UNTIL YESTERDAY, UM, WHICH IS WHY YOU'RE NOW RECEIVING THEM, BUT I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

UH, YEAH.

SO IN 2017, THE TOWN OF FRONT ROYAL AND WARREN COUNTY ENTERED INTO A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT THAT ESTABLISHED THE FRONT ROYAL WARREN COUNTY JOINT TOURISM ACTIVITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

UM, BUT LAST YEAR AS THIS BOARD'S WELL AWARE, THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN BOTH AGREED TO ALTER THE WAY THAT COMMITTEE WORKED IN HIRE A DESTINATION MARKETING ORGANIZATION, UH, TO PROVIDE VISITOR SERVICES, MARKETING, AND ADVERTISING FOR THE COMMUNITY RESEARCH, ET CETERA, THE TOWN AND COUNTY HAVE ALREADY ISSUED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND HAVE MUTUALLY SELECTED A DESTINATION MARKETING ORGANIZATION OR A DMO TO SERVE IN THIS ROLE.

SO THEREFORE THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN WOULD LIKE TO ENTER INTO A NEW MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT, WHICH ESTABLISHES THE FRONT ROYAL WARREN COUNTY JOINT TOURISM COMMITTEE, UM, PROVIDES THE COMPOSITION OF THE COMMITTEE, HOW THE DMO WE'LL, UM, WE'LL WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY, BOTH THE TOWN AND THE COUNTY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSIGNING AUTHORITY TO THE COMMITTEE TO DIRECT PROMOTE AND MANAGE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN FRONT ROYAL AND WARREN COUNTY TO ENTER INTO A COMPETITIVELY NEGOTIATED CONTRACT WITH THE MUTUALLY SELECTED D A DMO TO ANNUALLY BUDGET AND APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE DMO, WHICH WILL AT LEAST BE A MINIMUM.

THAT'S A MALE EQUAL TO THE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX.

AS A NATIVE FOR TOURISM AND TRAVEL MARKETING.

THE TOWN WILL PAY HALF OF ALL OF THE INVOICES OF IT COMMITTEE.

THEY WILL PAY THAT DIRECTLY TO THE COUNTY.

THE COUNTY WILL SERVE AS THE FISCAL AGENT AND THEN PAY THE OTHER HALF, UM, AS WELL AS SHE'S IN THE TOWNS HAVE TO PAY THE INVOICES.

AND LASTLY, THE TOWN AND COUNTY WILL ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES TO INVEST IN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF BOTH COMMUNITIES, THE BOARD RECEIVED A COPY OF THE MOA IN YOUR PACKET.

HOWEVER, SINCE THAT TIME, THE TOWN HAS MADE A FEW CHANGES.

IT WAS VOTED ON AND APPROVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL.

YOU SHOULD HAVE THE UPDATED VERSION, BUT I WILL HIGHLIGHT THE TWO MAIN CHANGES.

SO THE BOARD'S AWARE THE FIRST MAIN CHANGE IS IF YOU LOOK AT PARAGRAPH FOUR, TITLED COMPOSITION ON PAGE FOUR, THE COMMITTEE WILL NOT INCLUDE THE PLANNING DIRECTORS FROM THE TOWN AND THE COUNTY.

INSTEAD IT WILL BE THE TOWN MANAGER'S DESIGNEE AND THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S DESIGNEE.

UH, THE SECOND MAIN CHANGE IS ON PARAGRAPH FIVE C ON PAGE FIVE.

THIS ACTUALLY INCREASES THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE DMS 2021 CONTRACT FROM 200,000 TO 600,000.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS IT'S CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THIS CONTRACT WILL BE AN 18 MONTH CONTRACT INSTEAD OF A 12 MONTHS.

SO IT WILL BEGIN JANUARY, 2021 AND, AND JUNE 30TH, 2022.

SO IT'S NOW IN TRACK OR IN LINE WITH THE FISCAL YEARS.

UM, AGAIN, THIS, THE NEW VERSION THAT YOU HAVE WAS APPROVED BY THE TOWN.

WE DIDN'T RECEIVE THESE EDITS

[01:15:01]

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, FROM MRS. JORDAN OR DISCUSSION, UM, 600,000 THAT WE'RE SPENDING IS BEING SPENT? ARE WE, ARE WE ON TOP OF THIS, THE PROPOSALS THAT THEY'RE OFFERING, WE'VE GOT TO PAY FOR THOSE AS WELL.

SO IF THEY WANT TO DO A VIDEO OF WARREN COUNTY AND FRONT ROYAL, DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT AS WELL? OR DOES THAT COME OUT OF THIS, THIS BUDGET? CAN YOU ANSWER THAT? IF YOU DON'T MIND, PLEASE GO AHEAD AND JORDAN, SO THE $300,000 FOR THE 18 MONTHS IS ACTUALLY $200,000 AND THAT MONEY IS ALREADY DESIGNATED FROM OCCUPANCY TAX, UH, FROM THE COUNTY.

AND SO THIS IS ALL INCLUSIVE SO THAT WHATEVER DECISIONS THIS COMMITTEE MAKES AND DIRECTS THIS DMO TO DO, WE'LL HAVE TO COME OUT OF THAT BUDGETARY AMOUNT.

THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS UNLESS APPROVED OBVIOUSLY BY THIS BOARD.

YES, I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S ONE OF THE, THE CONTRACT WITH THE DA.

WELL, IN THE MOA THAT YOU RECEIVED, THE COMMITTEE IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN ANNUAL BUDGET BY JANUARY 1ST OF EACH YEAR.

SO THE BOARD CAN APPROVE THAT BUDGET AMOUNT.

AND THEN THEY'RE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

THEY'RE RESTRICTED TO THAT AMOUNT.

THAT'S BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD UNLESS THEY COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND REQUEST MORE FUNDING HAVE, HAVE THEY PROVIDED US WITH A BUDGET.

THEY DON'T EXIST YET.

UM, UNTIL WE PASS THIS, SO WE PASSED THIS IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE.

I JUST WONDER IF THERE WAS A BIT, I'M SURE THERE IS A, IN A WORKING BUDGET, BUT UNTIL THIS COMMITTEE IS FORMED, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME CHANGES ON HERE, THERE ARE SOME DESIGNEES THAT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE.

NOW.

THERE'S ONLY ONE MEMBER AND AN ALTERNATE FROM EACH OF THE GOVERNING BODIES.

WHEREAS THERE WERE ACTUALLY TWO MEMBERS, THE GOVERNING BODY.

SO THERE'S BEEN A, THERE'S SOME CHANGES.

SO THERE HAS TO BE A COMMITTEE MEETING, I THINK, TO ESTABLISH THAT BUDGET BEFORE IT CAN BE.
