THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD SHALL BE LIMITED TO 60 MINUTES WITH A MAXIMUM OF THREE MINUTES FOR EV FOR ANY SPEAKER.

SPEAKERS MAY ONLY SPEAK ONCE AND THE SPEAKERS WILL BE HEARD IN THE ORDER THEY HAVE SIGNED UP.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, MR. SHIRAKI, HAS ANYBODY SIGNED UP? YES.

MADAME CHAIR, CAROL PHILLIPS.

HI.

THANK YOU.

OH, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

CAN YOU HEAR IT? SO MY NAME IS CAROL PHILLIPS AND I'M A RESIDENT OF THE HYOB COMMUNITY HERE IN WARREN COUNTY.

[00:05:01]

IT'S DANGEROUS AND, UM, THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REQUEST FUNDING TO MAKE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS TO ROUTE 55 THAT KEEP FALLING SHORT.

SO RECENTLY, UM, THE COUNTY HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR FUNDING THROUGH THE SMART SCALE PROCESS.

I'M ASSUMING THAT EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH THAT PROCESS.

UM, IF APPROVED, THAT FUNDING WILL ALLOW FOR EXTENDED EAST AND WESTBOUND TURN LANES ON ROUTE 55 IF APPROVED, IS THE KEYWORD THERE.

UM, AND THEN IT BECOMES PART OF THE SIX YEAR IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

SO UNFORTUNATELY THE FUNDING REQUEST DID NOT MAKE THE CUTOFF.

WHAT HAPPENS IS THE STAFF REVIEWS ALL THE SUBMISSIONS FOR FUNDING AND THEN THEY MAKE A RECOMMENDATION IN THE COMMONWEALTH TRANSPORTATION BOARD FOR FUNDING.

AND THAT PROJECT DID NOT MAKE THE CUTOFF.

HOWEVER, THE CTB CAN, UM, ADD PROJECTS TO THE LIST BASED ON PUBLIC INPUT.

SO, , WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR IS WE'VE GOT A PETITION WITH 770 SIGNATURES ON IT, CALLING FOR FUND, UH, FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS TO ROUTE 55.

WE'VE KICKED OFF A LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN TO THE CTB TODAY.

UM, IT'S BEEN SENT OUT TO THE RESIDENTS OF WARREN COUNTY.

OBVIOUSLY HIGH KNOB RESIDENTS ARE BEHIND THIS.

I'VE GOT A LETTER FROM THE HIGH KNOB HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT.

DELEGATE WEBERT IS ON BOARD.

HE'S GONNA WRITE A LETTER SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT.

AND I'M HERE TONIGHT ASKING FOR THE BOARD'S SUPPORT IN WRITING A LETTER TO THE COMMONWEALTH TRANSPORTATION BOARD.

SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT.

PUBLIC INPUT GOES A LONG WAY TO GETTING THINGS MOVED FROM, SORRY, WE'RE NOT GIVING YOU MONEY TO, OKAY, LET'S GET THIS FUNDED.

AND I KNOW THAT THE BOARD HAS SUPPORTED THESE PROJECTS IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW, WE'VE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET FUNDING TO KEEP FALLING SHORT, BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP THAT, THAT I GOT ALL THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES BACK THERE CAN PROBABLY ATTEST IT AND WE ALL KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT INTERSECTION IS.

AND SO I'M ASKING TONIGHT FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR CONSIDERATION TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE COMMONWEALTH TRANSPORTATION BOARD.

I HAVE A DRAFT LETTER.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO, I CAN, I CAN MAKE IT EASY ON YOU GUYS.

UM, I HAVE A DRAFT LADDER IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THAT.

AND TO USE THAT AS A BASIS.

IF YOU AGREE TO WRITE THIS LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR US, YOU CAN GIVE IT TO MR. ROCKY.

OKAY.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? CAN I ANSWER ANY QUE THIS IS NOT A QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD.

I APOLOGIZE.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

YES, NO, NO PROBLEM.

ALL RIGHT.

I WILL GIVE THE LETTER AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU, JOY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DO YOU, I THINK THIS IS GOOD.

ACTUALLY, NO ONE ELSE HAS SIGNED UP.

MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME AND SPEAK? ANYBODY? THIS IS LAST CALL.

ALL RIGHT.

PUBLIC COMMENT, PERIOD.

IT IS NOW CLOSED.

OKAY.

AND THEN FINALLY, UH, UH, JUST AS, UH, UH, WAS PRESENTED, UM, THE, UH, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE, UH, THE, THE FOLKS OVER AT HIGH KNOB ON, UH, ON WHAT TO DO TO TRY AND GET THAT FUNDING.

AND, UH, MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU, MS. CALLERS.

UH, YES, I WOULD WANTED TO SAY I ATTENDED A LAKEFRONT ROYAL, UM, COMMUNITY MEETING HERE.

UM, I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK AND VERY GOOD MEETING, UM, PRODUCTIVE.

WE HAD MORE PEOPLE THERE.

WE USUALLY USE, UH, THE BACK OF THIS ROOM OR THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THE OLD LIBRARY, AND THERE'S FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE THERE.

AND, UM, WE HAD A ROOM FULL.

SO IT WAS NICE TO SEE SUCH A GOOD TURNOUT AND HOPE THAT CONTINUES.

UM, ALSO TO CON UH, ATTENDED THE BROWNTOWN MEETING.

I GO TO THOSE MONTHLY AND THOSE ARE ALWAYS, UM, GOOD MEETINGS OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE AREA AND THEIR CONCERNS ON, UM, THEIR AREA AS WELL ATTENDED, UM, A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SOUTH HORN FIRE DEPARTMENT.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD HIGH KNOB FOR TAKING ACTION AND BEING ENGAGED WITH THEIR GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT.

UM, THE, UM, LAST NIGHT I ATTENDED THE DRUG TREATMENT COURT ADVISORY BOARD.

UM, THE DRUG TREATMENT COURT IS PROCEEDING, UM, AND, UH, EXPECTED DOCKET IN JULY, ON JULY 7TH, THEIR FIRST DOCKET, WHICH IS VERY EXCITING.

UM, AND I ALSO SPOKE TO A GROUP OF, UM, COLLEGE REPUBLICANS LAST NIGHT AT THE CHRISTO COLLEGE.

I SERVED ON A PANEL TO DISCUSS LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE AND HOW TO BE ENGAGED WITH YOUR GOVERNMENT AND HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR GOVERNMENT AND HOW TO BUILD YOUR RESUME, UM, BY SERVING ON A COMMITTEE IN YOUR GOVERNMENT.

AND, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE SHENANDOAH RAIL TRAIL MEETING IS THURSDAY EVENING AT 7:00 PM IT HAS BEEN MOVED, UH, TO THE FRONT ROYAL FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE OF THE ANTICIPATED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S 7:00 PM THIS THURSDAY, UM, AT THE FRONT ROYAL FIRE DEPARTMENT ON COMMERCE AVENUE.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU, MR. MABE.

THANK YOU.

UM, I MET WITH THE, UH, THINGS I DID LAST WEEK, UM, AND I CAN GO DAY BY DAY, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED TO DO THAT .

UM, BUT ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT I DID DO WAS MEET WITH TWO NEW MEMBERS OF THE E D A.

WE DISCUSSED LOTS OF THINGS THAT THE E D'S DOING, WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THEM, WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT FROM US.

UH, I THINK IT WAS A VERY GOOD MEETING.

UM, I TYPICALLY GO TO A BUMPER MEETING OR A BUMPER, A BLUE MOUNTAIN, UM, POA, THEY, UH, CANCELED THEIR MEETING CUZ IT'S SO COLD UP IN THAT BUILDING.

AND WE DID HAVE A COUPLE OF COLD DAYS LAST WEEK.

UH, WE HAD A BOS MEETING.

UH, I WAS ALSO A, A PART OF A MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION MEETING WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT COMMUNITIES AND HOW THE CHURCHES ARE REACTING TO THE COMMUNITIES.

AND THE WAY, UM, DSS NOW HAS STARTED TO, UH, NOT STARTED, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY CHANGED SOME OF THEIR RULES AND, UM, FOOD IS GONNA BE AN ISSUE.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO HELP WITH THERE.

UM, I ALSO, UH, APPLY, UH, NOT APPLIED.

I WAS PART OF THE DSS ADVISORY BOARD MEETING AND WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, LOTS OF DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT DSS IS GOING THROUGH, UH, TO DEAL WITH NEW PEOPLE, TO DEAL WITH THE PHONE CALLS, TO DEAL WITH THE, UM, YOUNG PEOPLE THAT, THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO SERVE, THE OLD PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO, TO SERVE.

UM, AND JUST, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THOSE PEOPLE GO THROUGH ON A DAILY BASIS.

I, UH, I THINK MY JOB IS HARD, BUT I LOOK AT THOSE PEOPLE THAT WORK AT THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND THEY GO INTO HOMES THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON JUST WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND AT ALL.

AND I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE AND I SYMPATHIZE WITH THEM AND I APPLAUD THEM.

UM, I THINK THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB AND CONTINUE TO DO A GREAT JOB.

AND, UM, I THANK THEM.

UH, THANK YOU.

THAT'S MY REPORT.

THANK YOU.

WELL, I'LL BEGIN WITH IT.

WE ARE CONTINUING WITH OUR BUDGET REVIEW PROCESS.

SO , I'M SORRY I FORGOT THAT .

BUT, UM, ANYWAY, SO, UH, WE'VE REVIEWED, UM, EIGHT NEW DEPARTMENT BUDGETS.

I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK, OH, ACTUALLY THE WEEK BEFORE.

I REMEMBER CUZ DR.

DALEY WAS ON VACATION.

ANYWAY, OUT OF THOSE, UH, EIGHT BUDGETS, UH, WE, WE LOOKED AT THE PUBLIC WORKS, SANITARY DISTRICTS, THE MAINTENANCE AND GROUNDWORKS IN OUR AIRPORT.

SO THOSE WENT VERY WELL.

UM, I ALSO WAS A FIREFIGHTER FOR A DAY.

AND LET ME TELL YOU, UM, THIS WAS ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE FOR ME.

AND I, ALL I WANT TO DO IS REALLY THINK ALL THE FIRE AND RESCUE STAFF FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.

THE EXPERIENCE TO HAVE A DAY IN THE LIFE WITH E EVERYONE WHO SERVES, UM, ON, IN FIRE AND RESCUE.

UM, I WANNA ADD THAT, UM, I, I, I WAS VERY, VERY PROUD TO, TO, TO BE WITH, WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN ON, ON THAT DAY.

AND, UH, THEY'RE VERY PROFESSIONAL, VERY WELL TRAINED.

[00:15:01]

I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO SAY IT, IT WAS AN AWESOME DAY AND IT WAS MY HONOR TO SERVE BY EVERY ONE OF THEM ON THIS, ON THIS DAY.

AND, UM, I THINK, UM, THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE GIVEN AN EXTENSION TO, TO GO AND, AND BE WITH OUR MEN AND WOMEN.

AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO BECAUSE, UM, THEY, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GREAT, GREAT, GREAT PEOPLE.

LASTLY, UM, THROUGH SATURDAYS BACK I ATTENDED A COMMUNITY EVENT AT THE AIRPORT AND LEARNED HOW TO PLAY A NEW POOL GAME CALLED CRUD.

NEVER PLAYED POOL WITHOUT CUE STICKS, BUT, UM, IT WAS, IT, NEEDLESS TO SAY IT, IT WAS A GOOD TIME AND, UM, SOMETHING NEW AND, AND WE ALL HAD, WE HAD A, WE HAD FUN, BUT, UM, UH, THEY WILL BE CONTINUED TO HAVE THESE LITTLE COMMUNITY EVENTS OUT THERE.

AND SO IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT, UM, ANOTHER DAY TO LEARN HOW TO PAY CRUD, I THINK YOU SHOULD COME OUT AND CH AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND WE'RE HAVE SOME FUN.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

UM, SO DR.

DALEY, THANK YOU MA'AM.

IN BETWEEN THAT WE HAVE MARCH 30 AND APRIL 6TH TO FINISH UP OUR BUDGET ITEMS, WHICH WE HOPE TO DO IN THERE.

FOR MANY YEARS THE FRONT ROYAL, UH, WARREN COUNTY AIRPORT HAS RECEIVED GRANTS FROM THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION OR THE D DOV TO HELP FUND PROJECTS FOR THE AIRPORT.

AND THEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, THE DAV NOTIFIED THE BOARD THAT THERE WERE, UM, MODIFICATIONS TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHICH WERE SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED BY THE BOARD ON JANUARY 3RD, 2018.

UM, AND, UM, BEFORE WE EVER PUT A NEW HANGAR UP, WE'LL HAVE IT FILLED.

UM, THE, THE CURRENT SITE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS IT'S ENVIRONMENTAL COORDINATION FOR SITE PREPARATION.

UM, THE HANGERS WOULD BE LOCATED, AND I THINK I'VE, I'VE GIVEN YOU SOME PICTURES OF THESE IN SOME OF OUR OTHER MEETINGS, BUT IT WOULD BE NEAR CURRENT PHI FACILITY AND THE CURRENT FALCON FACILITY.

UM, AND BASICALLY WHAT WE WOULD DO IS WE, WE, ANYTHING YOU DO ON THE AIRPORT PROPERTY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL COORDINATION.

WE HAVE TWO PHASES.

THIS IS GONNA BE THE FIRST PHASE.

THIS IS ALREADY ON THE AIRPORT PROPERTY, UM, AND THERE'S NO FEDERAL MONEY INVOLVED.

AND THEN OUR HOPE IS, AND WE RECENTLY DISCUSSED OUR A C I P FOR THE AIRPORT WITH OUR FEDERAL DOLLARS.

SO OUR HOPE IS, AND I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, TYPICALLY YOU CAN GET MONEY FOR SITE PREPARATION FOR HANGERS, UM, BUT YOU DON'T USUALLY GET IT FOR THE ACTUAL INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDING.

AND OUR, OUR GOAL IS TO ACTUALLY USE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING, UM, THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BUILD HANGERS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

SO, UM, IN LOOKING AT OUR BILL FUNDING, IF YOU, UM, ARE, I GUESS IT WAS, LET'S SEE, OUR HANGAR BUILDS CONSTRUCTION.

WE WERE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY SPENDING, UM, OUR FISCAL YEAR 22 AND 23 FUNDS.

SO IT WAS 159,000 145 K.

SO AFTER OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT IS DONE, THEN WE CAN BEGIN TO BUILD THESE AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO USE THAT FEDERAL DOLLARS.

YOU KNOW, IF, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S, IT'S BASICALLY ALREADY SET THERE FOR THE AIRPORT TO USE, BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE AN IMPROVED PROJECT.

AND THE START OF THAT IS TO HAVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL COORDINATION READY, IS THAT ANSWER? SO WHAT'S OUR TIMING, SIR, ON THIS? WELL, AS CAITLIN MENTIONED, I MEAN, WE'RE SOON AS WE GET THE GRANT SIGNED AND BACK TO THE DAV, UM, THEN WE CAN JUST LET LOOSE WITH OUR, UH, CONSULTANTS AND THEY CAN BE, BEGIN THEIR COORDINATION AND GET THAT ENVIRONMENTAL DONE.

AND THEN HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR, UM, WE WILL BE ABLE TO START MOVING TOWARDS, UM, SOME, YOU KNOW, ESTIMATES ARE, ARE GETTING SOME BIDS ON CONSTRUCTION FOR HANGERS.

DON'T WE HAVE A DEADLINE ON THE, ON THIS, ON THE, THE GRANT, THE FEDERAL, ON OUR OLD FEDERAL MONEY, NOT FEDERAL GRANT, BUT THE FEDERAL, THE FEDERAL DOLLARS.

UM, WELL WE, WE ACTUALLY, WITH THE FEDERAL DOLLARS, WE DO HAVE, UM, TYPICALLY IT'S FOUR YEARS.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IF WE, IF WE DON'T GET ANYTHING ACCOMPLISHED, THAT

[00:40:01]

BUT YOU'RE, THERE'S OTHER FUNDING AVAILABLE AS WELL THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE $600,000.

UM, AND THAT'S GONNA BE TIED TO, UM, OUR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS WITH THE F FAA, UM, AND WITH THE, UM, STATE.

AND THAT'S GONNA BE A FEDERAL PROJECT AND THAT'LL INCLUDE SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE'VE MENTIONED.

UM, LOOKING AT THE MEDEVAC FACILITY, UM, RELOCATING SUCH.

UM, AND, AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE MORE PROPERTY THAT, UM, WE WOULD ACTUALLY GET A REIMBURSEMENT FOR IF WE USE SOME OF THOSE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT WE PURCHASED IN THE PAST.

UM, THE FA HAS TO PROVE THOSE AND WE HAVE TO SHOW THE USE.

AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE FAA.

WE HAD A MEETING WHEN WAS THAT LAST MEETING? JANUARY I THINK SO ABOUT JANUARY.

JANUARY WHERE WE WENT OVER OUR A C I P AND WHAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED TO THE FAA AS PROJECTS.

SO MAY BE TIME FOR ANOTHER MEETING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONSULTANT'S ON TARGET TO GET US OUR MONEY.

YEAH, WELL I ACTUALLY HAD SOME COMMUNICATION WITH THEM THIS WEEK.

UM, AND THE MED, BECAUSE THE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S ASKING ABOUT THE MEDEVAC FACILITY, UM, IF WE WOULD CONSIDER, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LOOKING AT WAYS, I GUESS TO, YOU KNOW, NOT PAY US FOR LESS PROPERTY.

I MEAN, I GUESS ROUNDABOUT, BUT LOOKING AT HOW, YOU KNOW, COULD WE LOCATE THE FACILITY ON CURRENT AIRPORT PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD BE OKAY, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE A ROAD DUE TO THE TOPOGRAPHY OUT THERE THAT WOULD GO ACROSS PROPERTY THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY A PART OF THE AIRPORT THAT WE OWN.

SO ON MEN OFF OF MENEE LANE.

SO OUR, RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN OUR MASTER PLAN THAT YOU'VE SEEN, WE HAVE AN ENTRANCE FOR THE MEDEVAC FACILITY THAT WILL COME OFF OF THE MENIFEE LANE, UM, PROPERTY AND THEN GO DOWN TO A NEW FACILITY.

AND, AND THE HOPE IS THAT THE USERS WOULD BE SEPARATED.

SO THE MEDICAL FACILITY, THE HELICOPTERS WOULD BE SEGREGATED FROM THE PLANES.

AND THIS WILL ALSO FREE UP.

AND, AND THIS, THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE TO GET TO THIS, THIS PORTION, BUT THIS WILL ALSO FREE UP ADDITIONAL HANGAR SPACE IN THE FUTURE, WHICH WILL, AGAIN, WE HAVE A LIST THAT I THINK WE'LL FILL IT THE NEXT DAY.

MM-HMM.

.

SO I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME REALLY GOOD PROGRESS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXCITED, UM, OUT THERE AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL AS THE AIRPORT CONTINUES TO GROW.

IT'S, IT'S RAMPING UP NOW AND, UM, YOU KNOW, SKYDIVE IS COMING BACK IN AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE HAVE SILENT FALCON WORKING OUT THERE, SO, UM, THE GLIDER CLUB AND YOU KNOW, AND I THINK IT'S, IT'S CONTINUED.

I THINK IT'LL BE A GOOD THING FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND, AND, AND, AND OUR ECONOMY IN THE FUTURE, REALLY.

MM-HMM.

.

SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS GRANT SPECIFICALLY, OR I JUST HAVE YES, MA'AM.

IT'S MORE OF A CLARIFICATION.

OKAY.

SO THIS, UM, THIS PROJECT RIGHT NOW YOU'RE TALKING FOR THE 17 K? YEAH.

AND IT'S FOR ENVI, UM, ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES.

SO THI IS THIS THE ENVI ENVIRONMENTAL AS, UM, ASSESSMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR? THIS IS THE ONE FOR THE HANGERS.

HANGERS, YES, MA'AM.

OKAY.

SO THIS IS, YEP.

I, I INITIALLY WAS HOPING TO GET APPROVED IN NOVEMBER.

I DID NOT.

I REAPPLIED UHHUH AND IN THE FEBRUARY MEETING OF THE D OAV, I, I WAS APPROVED.

OKAY.

SO THIS IS AT 80% STATE FUNDING.

THAT'S, THAT'S, AND, AND, UM, CAITLIN MENTIONED THE 4,400, THAT IS OUR COST MM-HMM.

, UM, TO DO THIS.

SO THE STATE PAYS 80%.

SO ONCE WE APPROVE THIS, THEN WE CAN START MOVING.

YEAH.

WE JUST HIT GO WITH THE CONSULTANTS AND SAY, LET'S MOVE.

SO, AND YEP.

OKAY.

SO WHEN DO YOU THINK WE BE, WILL HAVE PEOPLE OUT ON THE AIRPORT TO ACTUALLY DO THIS ENVIRONMENTAL, UM, ASSESSMENT? I WOULD, I WOULD THINK THAT THEY COULD START, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS THEY COULD GET, YOU KNOW, THEIR, THEIR CONTRACTORS OUT THERE.

I WOULDN'T THINK IT WOULD TAKE LONG.

OKAY.

RIGHT.

THIS SPRING, I WOULD ASSUME IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO.

RIGHT.

BUT THAT'S A GUESS.

I WOULD HAVE TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU NAIL THEM DOWN AND, AND, BUT I WANT TO SAY, HEY, YES, WE'RE READY.

LET'S GO, LET'S GET THIS IN BEFORE IT EXPIRES.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE, I KNOW THE GUYS OUT THERE HAVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR THIS, SO YEAH.

SO THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE WE CAN GET THE CONSTRUCTION, BEFORE WE CAN SPEND THOSE DOLLARS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE AVAILABLE.

MM-HMM.

.

VERY GOOD.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE, SARAH, WHAT'S DOING THIS AND SPENDING THE $17,600, HOW MANY, MANY HANGERS DOES THAT GET US IN THE END? HOW MANY HANGERS WILL TH THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IT'S IS, THIS IS JUST FOR ENVIRONMENTAL.

IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE SPACE.

THE HANGERS WOULD GO ON AND WE HAVE, UM, A MAP.

I COULD SEND IT TO YOU.

YOU'RE LOOKING LIKE A 40 BY 40, A COUPLE 40 BY 40 SOME 60 BY SIXTIES.

SO SOME LARGER SPACE HANGERS.

SOME OF THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WERE LOOKING FOR LARGER, THEY HAVE MULTIPLE PLANES AND SO THAT CAN ACTUALLY HELP SOME OF THE OTHER USERS AS WELL ON THE LIST.

UM, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE SOMEBODY WITH FOUR PLANES,

[00:45:01]

THANK YOU.

YES SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOPE.

VERY GOOD.

SO DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVE THE GRANT OFFER FOR THE HANGAR SITE PREPARATION, ENVIRONMENTAL COORDINATION, AND AUTHORIZED COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND THE SENIOR ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY TO EXECUTE THE GRANT AGREEMENT ON THE COUNTY'S BEHALF.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A SECOND.

SECOND ROLL CALL PLEASE.

MR. BUTLER.

AYE.

MRS. COLORS? AYE.

MADAME CHAIR? AYE.

MRS. OATS? AYE.

MR. MABE? AYE.

PERFECT.

THANK YOU.

[K. Award Recommendation for Transfer Station Wheel Loader - Alisa Scott, Finance Director, Mike Berry, Public Works Director]

MS. SCOTT AND MR. BERRY, THE FINANCE AND PURCHASING DEPARTMENT RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW A QUOTE WITH COOPERATIVE CONTRACT PRICING FOR A 2023 JOHN DEERE 6 24, UH, FOUR WHEEL, UH, FOUR WHEEL LOADER AT THE TRANSFER STATION.

SECTION 2.2 46 0 4 OF THE VIRGINIA PUBLIC PROCUREMENT ACT AUTHORIZES THE COUNTY TO COOPERATIVELY CONTRACT WITH SOWELL SOWELL SOLICITS GOODS AND SERVICES, WHICH THE COUNTY CAN PROCURE DIRECTLY FROM THE AWARDED VENDOR.

SOWELL CONTRACT 32,119 JDC WAS AWARDED TO GMS RIVER EQUIPMENT FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT.

THIS PRICE OFFERS A 40% DISCOUNT OFF THE VEHICLE'S LIST PRICE.

NOW PLEASE FIND A LETTER FROM MIKE BARRY, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, JUSTIFYING THE NEED AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE WHEEL LOADER.

ENCLOSED PURCHASING HAS REVIEWED THE SOURCE BOOK CONTRACT AND CONFIRMED A DISCOUNT PRICING STAFF RECOMMENDS THE BOARD APPROVED THE PURCHASE ORDER TO JAMES ROOFER EQUIPMENT PER SOURCE BOOK PRICING FOR $346,894 AND 80 CENTS, AS WELL AS AN ANNUAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FOR $32,740 AND 27 CENTS.

UH, THIS REQUEST IS TO TRANSFER, AND I HAD INCORRECTLY STATED THIS IN THE COST AND FINANCING ON THE COVER SHEET, BUT THIS REQUEST IS TO TRANSFER 379,635, UM, DOLLARS AND 7 CENTS FROM THE HAULING LINE ITEM WITHIN THE REFUSE DEPARTMENT TO THE ASSET REPLACEMENT FUND.

AND THIS IS A NEW MACHINE, IT'S NOT REPLACING A MACHINE.

SO YOU'LL FIND A DIFFERENCE IN THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF THE ACCOUNT.

AND THAT MEANS FOR FINANCE IN THE ASSET REPLACEMENT PROGRAM THAT IT'S A NEW MACHINE AND NOT A REPLACEMENT MACHINE.

MAYBE YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UM, SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, SO WE'RE REPLACING A LOADER THAT OKAY.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A LOADER AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS I THINK FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

UM, BUT, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE RAN INTO, AND IT'S ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, WE RAN INTO A MAJOR EQUIPMENT PROBLEM AND WE COULD NOT GET ANOTHER LOADER WITH THE CURRENT ECONOMY.

UM, DURING OUR SOLID WASTE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, MRS. COLORS ACTUALLY BROUGHT UP, UM, KEEPING OUR OLD LOADER AS A BACKUP DUE TO US BEING DOWN FOR LIKE A MONTH AND A HALF'S TIME.

WE HAD A, A LARGE EXCAVATOR ON THE FLOOR AND WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE.

WE ONLY HAD ONE EMPLOYEE WHO COULD ACTUALLY RUN THAT THING.

SO PART TWO OF THIS, UM, TYPICALLY IN THE PASTA COUNTIES, UM, USUALLY TRADED IN AT 7,500 HOURS, UM, WHICH IS WHEN YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT END.

AND WE'RE CURRENTLY AT 10,000 HOURS.

AND AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE, YOU KNOW, THIS LOADER RUNS SIX DAYS A WEEK ON THE FLOOR, OFTEN USED ON THE SEVENTH DAY, UM, TO CLEAN UP AND COMPACT TRASH.

AND, AND IT'S MOVING ABOUT 40,000 TONS OF WASTE A YEAR.

SO IF, IF WE HAVE ANY INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT, UM, TRASH IN THE COUNTY STOPS.

AND, UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THAT WARRANTY PERIOD AND THAT EXTENDED MAINTENANCE PERIOD, YOU KNOW, WE RECENTLY, I GUESS IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO HAD A REPAIR OF A JOYSTICK, UM, AND ON A MAJOR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT THE JOYSTICK AND THE REPAIR COSTS WERE ABOUT $5,000.
