SO, MADAM CHAIR, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
UH, YES, I ALSO ATTENDED THE COMMONWEALTH TRANSPORTATION BOARD PUBLIC HEARING AND, UM, ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES ON THREE 40 SOUTH OF WHICH WE DID, UM, SCORE FOR A SMART SCALE.
AND I THINK THEY GO TO VOTE FOR ALL OF, UM, THE, UM, ITEMS IN JUNE.
SO I'M OPTIMISTIC THAT HOPEFULLY WE BOTH GET FUNDING.
UM, THEY, THEY ADMITTED THAT IT'S, UM, WORTHY OF FUNDING, BUT AS EVERYONE KNOWS, THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH FUNDING TO GO AROUND.
SO HOPEFULLY WE, WE BENEFIT FROM THAT.
UM, MAY 4TH, I WAS INVITED TO ATTEND THE WARREN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL'S, UH, FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA BANQUET.
AND IT JUST, I AM SO GLAD TO SEE AGRICULTURE BACK IN OUR SCHOOLS AND, UM, A LOT OF YOUNGSTERS DOING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS TO KEEP AGRICULTURE ALIVE IN WARREN COUNTY.
SO I WAS, UM, IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT OF FELLOWSHIP, AND THEN I WAS INVITED TO GO UP TO CHESTER GAP FOR THEIR FIRE DEPARTMENT'S BANQUET BECAUSE, UM, PART OF THEIR, UH, AREA IS IN MY DISTRICT, AND I WAS, AND THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE THEY'VE HAD SINCE COVID HIT.
SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD FELLOWSHIP THERE AS WELL.
UM, MAY 11TH, I ATTENDED THE REVEREND CUTTING OF ON Q AND, UM, NEW BUSINESS ON MAIN STREET.
AND THAT I, I CAN REMEMBER WHEN, UM, YOU SH YOU DID YOUR GROCERY SHOPPING AT THE A AND P ON JACKSON STREET AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON MAIN STREET.
THAT'S WHERE SHOPPING CENTRAL WAS FOR FRONT WORLD, WARREN COUNTY WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.
AND THEN ALL THESE SHOPPING MALLS CAME AND MAIN STREET SEEMED TO WITHER AND DIE.
AND IT'S REALLY WARMS MY HEART TO SEE, UM, IT BEING REVITALIZED.
AND THAT'S, UM, A REALLY NICE PLACE.
AND ON MAY 17TH, WHICH IS NOT HERE YET, AND THE 18TH MAY 17TH IS WARREN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL'S GRADUATION.
I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE EARLIEST GRADUATION.
I GRADUATED IN 1977 AND I KNOW IT WAS IN JUNE, SO I'VE, I WISH THEM ALL.
WELL, SKYLINE HIGH SCHOOL WILL GRADUATE ON THE 18TH, SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE NEW HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
THIS IS ALSO POLICE MEMORIAL WEEK.
IT STARTS MAY 15TH AND GOES THROUGH THE 19TH.
I'LL ATTEND THE POLICE MEMORIAL SERVICE OVER AT THE, UH, REGIONAL ACADEMY IN MIDDLETOWN.
AND THAT'S, UM, THAT'S ALWAYS A VERY SOLEMN, BUT WE NEVER, NEVER NEED TO FORGET THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE FALLEN AND GAVE THE BIGGEST SACRIFICE TO KEEP US ALL SAFE.
UM, AND I WOULD ALSO, UM, LIKE TO JUST READ A LITTLE BIT OF THE INFORMATION ON KEVIN MANNION, TROOPER STATE TROOPER KEVIN MANNION, THAT WE WILL BE, UM, TAKING A VOTE ON NAMING A BRIDGE.
HE WAS A 27 YEAR OLD, UM, YOUNG MAN WHO WAS, UH, ASSIGNED TO THE WINCHESTER REGION AND WARREN COUNTY AS HIS MAIN BASE OF, UM, UH, PATROLLING OUT OF.
[00:10:01]
HE HAD JUST BEEN A STATE TROOPER FOR UNDER THREE YEARS AND HE WAS WORKING, UM, STATE TROOPERS IN WARREN COUNTY, ALSO HELP OUT WITH CLARK COUNTY.SO HE WAS RESPONDING TO A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN, IN CLARK COUNTY.
UM, KIND OF A CRAZY TYPE THING.
THE VEHICLE IN THE ACCIDENT, THE PEOPLE THAT HAD IT HAD BEEN, UM, IT WAS A ROBBERY AND THERE WAS A GUN, A RIFLE IN THE PICKUP TRUCK.
AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PULLED UP ON THE ROLLBACK, IT JARRED AND DISCHARGED HITTING KEVIN MANNION.
AND, UM, HE DIED OF SEVERAL HOURS LATER.
SO IT'S, UM, TRADITIONAL NOW IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA, MAYBE OTHER STATES TO NAME ROADS AND BRIDGES AFTER FALL ON OFFICERS.
SO TOMORROW I'M HOPING TO SEE HIS FATHER.
HE'S GETTING A LITTLE FRAIL, SO I'M NOT SURE HE'LL BE THERE.
BUT, UM, I KNOW THIS WILL BE A GREAT HONOR FOR HIM TO, TO KNOW THAT HIS SON WILL BE REMEMBERED BY THE NAME OF A BRIDGE.
SO I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S CONSIDERATION AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
YEAH, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO, UH, NOTE THAT THIS WEEK IS, UH, NATIONAL POLICE WEEK AS WELL, AND THAT YESTERDAY WAS THE MEMORIAL DAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE FALLEN.
UM, 246 POLICE OFFICERS DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY LAST YEAR.
AND I DON'T KNOW THAT PEOPLE OFTEN KNOW THAT NUMBER.
IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE PUBLISHED, UM, AS FREQUENTLY AS OTHER SITUATIONS.
SO I JUST WANTED TO, UH, RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO SACRIFICE ALL TO KEEP US SAFE, UH, WHO GO OUT EVERY DAY AND DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GONNA COME HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES.
AND FOR THAT, I SAY THANK YOU, AND, UH, I THINK WE SHOULD ALL, YOU KNOW, BUY SOMEBODY DINNER.
IF YOU SEE A POLICE OFFICER OUT, BUY 'EM DINNER,
UH, AND SO I'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT.
AND THEN I ALSO WANNA RECOGNIZE, LIKE YOU, I WASN'T ABLE TO GO TO THE RIBBON CUTTING, BUT I DID GO TO ON CUE, UH, THEY HAVE RELOCATED TO MAIN STREET, AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I COULD NOT FIND A PARKING PLACE ON MAIN STREET LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I BELIEVE EVERYBODY WAS EITHER AT VI BRISA OR ON CUE OR GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.
AND SO, UM, I, IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE THE VIBRANCY OF DOWNTOWN AND THAT KIND OF ENERGY.
AND, UH, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY TO COLE AND DANIELLE HAAS, UH, ALL THE BEST WISHES FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
THEY WORKED SO HARD AND THEY'RE A YOUNG COUPLE AND THEY'VE INVESTED SO MUCH IN THIS COMMUNITY AND, UH, AND I'M HAPPY TO RECOGNIZE THEM AND HOPEFULLY GIVE BACK IN SOME WAY.
UM, FOR MY REPORT, UM, I ATTENDED THE TRIAD SENIOR EXPO AT THE, UH, MOOSE LODGE, I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK.
AND I KNOW WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TRIAD, BUT JUST TO, UM, TO RECAP THAT IT, UH, TRIAD IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR LOCAL SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, UM, AND OTHER COMMUNITY SER SENIOR SERVICES.
AND THEY ALL GET TOGETHER AND THEY TRY TO, UM, EDUCATE OUR SENIORS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES.
SO AT THIS, HUH, I'M CALLING IT A CONFERENCE.
UM, THEY, UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF, TO TOPICS THAT WERE DISCUSSED FOR, UH, UH, THAT WOULD BENEFIT OUR SENIORS, LIKE THEIR FITNESS.
WE HAD FIRE AND SAFETY TO GIVE THEM SOME TIPS ON HOW TO BE SAFE.
UH, WE ALSO HAD FOLKS TALKING ABOUT ELDER ABUSE.
UM, WE ALSO HAD OTHER FOLKS TALKING ABOUT LEGAL SERVICES, AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I LEARNED SOME STUFF AS WELL.
AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THEY TRY TO INFORM OUR SENIORS ABOUT ALL THE SCAMS AND FRAUDS THAT ARE OUT THERE TO PROTECT THEM.
SO, UM, I JUST WANNA, WANNA THANK EVERYONE, UH, TO WHO PARTICIPATED IN THAT.
UM, WE HAD SOME, UH, WE HAD THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL JASON MYERS THAT WAS REPRESENTING, THEY, THEY HAVE A, A, A STAFF PERSON THAT PROMOTES THIS PROGRAM.
OF COURSE, OUR LOCAL FIRE AND RESCUE, UM, OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
WE ALSO HAVE THE SAMUEL'S LIBRARY THERE.
SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD, UM, EVENT.
UM, ALSO WE, UM, HAD OUR FINANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE.
UM, WE'RE, WE'RE NOW BEGINNING TO REVIEW OUR INVESTMENT AND DEPTH FISCAL POLICY PROCEDURE.
AND THEN LASTLY, UH, UH, WE HAVE A NEW, UH, COMMUNITY GARDEN, UM, THAT'S IN FORT DISTRICT AND IT'S A PRETTY GOOD SIZE, UH, GARDEN AS WELL.
AND IT'S ACROSS THE, THE AIRPORT.
SO IF WE'RE HERE OUT THERE TO GO ON BY AND, AND TAKE A LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE, IT'S, IT WAS REALLY NICE.
THEN OF COURSE, I ALSO ATTENDED THE FAMILY FUN DAY, UM, LAST WEEKEND, WHICH, UM, I JUST LOVE GOING TO THOSE EVENTS, JUST WATCHING FAMILIES ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
SO OTHER THAN THAT, UM, I'M, I'M, I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.
[00:15:02]
THANK YOU MA'AM.I DON'T WANT TO STEAL ANY OF MR. SCOTT'S THUNDER, SO, UH, WE'LL JUST DELAY UNTIL THE BUDGET IS PRESENTED.
I LIKE IT WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, YOU KNOW,

[I.3. Resolution - Requesting the Renaming Interstate 66 Bridge over 340/522 Interchange after State Trooper Kevin Carter Manion]
SO, UM, MS. CALLERS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO, UH, YES ON THE, UM, RESOLUTION I FAILED TO PUT DOWN BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE OF WHICH BRIDGE.UM, BECAUSE THERE'S A WESTBOUND AND AN EASTBOUND, SO, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD EASTBOUND AS THE, UM, THE BRIDGE THAT WOULD, WE WOULD BE NAMING AFTER, UH, TROOPER MANNION TO THE RESOLUTION.
SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE RESOLUTION WITH ADDING EASTBOUND EXCEPT MADAME CHAIR.
I WAS JUST WONDERING, UH, THE, UH, AND I'M JUST CURIOUS, WELL, UH, THE, WHY DID YOU PICK THE EASTBOUND ON THE IN FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD? UM, ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE THERE'S A BRIDGE NAMED FOR TROOPER HENDERSON WHO WAS KILLED IN THAT AREA.
SO WE THOUGHT WE WOULD, MR. KROMER AND I HAD TALKED AND UM, HE FELT THAT WE'D GO WESTBOUND.
I MEAN EASTBOUND BECAUSE OF THAT.
SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, DO WE HAVE A MOTION OF ACCEPTING THE RESOLUTION, REQUESTING THE REMAIN A RENAMING INTERSTATE 66 BRIDGE OVER 3 45 22 INTERCHANGE AFTER STATE, UH, AFTER STATE TROOPER KEVIN.
[J. MCCi Laserfiche Renewal]
ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS THE M C C I LASER FISH REMOVAL.THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO, UH, CONSIDER MY REQUEST.
UM, M C C I IS A COMPANY THAT WE PURCHASE A PRODUCT CALLED LASER FISH.
FROM LASER FISH IS ARCHIVING SOFTWARE.
WE'VE BEEN USING IT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
THE VERSION WE'RE CURRENTLY ON IS NO
[00:20:01]
LONGER COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 11.SO WE HAVE WORKSTATIONS THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE.
CURRENTLY WE WERE GOING TO DO A SIMPLE, UM, PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE COST TO SIMPLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CURRENT PRODUCT, BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT'S INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW OPERATING SYSTEM, WE'RE GONNA UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE TO INCLUDE WHAT WE NEED SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD IN THE FUTURE.
THERE'S CURRENTLY A PO NUMBER 67 13 WRITTEN FOR $5,130.
WITH THIS, UH, WITH THIS ADJUSTMENT THAT WE'RE GONNA DO HERE, WE'RE GONNA MAKE THAT PO $22,836 AND 88 CENTS AND THE FUNDING WILL COME OUT AS 7,008 IN THE IT BUDGET COMPUTER SOFTWARE.
ANY QUESTIONS? SO THIS IS THIS FISCAL SCHOOL YEAR BUDGET? YES.
AND IS THIS COMING OUT OF YOUR BUDGET OR IS THIS AN ASSET REPLACEMENT ITEM? THIS IS CURRENTLY COMING OUT OF THE BUDGET, COMING OUTTA THE BUDGET.
IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO, SO YOU SAY THAT IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WHEN WINDOWS 11.
IS THAT BECAUSE THE LASER FISH HAS, HAS PROGRESSED SO FAR THAT IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE? OR IS IT BECAUSE WINDOWS 11 WON'T, UH, WON'T WORK WITH THE Y? YES.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, BASICALLY THE VERSION OF LASER FISH THAT WE'RE ON IS MANY, MANY YEARS OLD.
THE COUNTY'S NEVER HAD A NEED TO UPGRADE IT BECAUSE IT JUST WASN'T NECESSARY.
WHAT THEY HAD WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL WE GOT INTO WINDOWS 11.
SO IT'S, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT, IT'S A COMBINATION OF BOTH MICROSOFT AND THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE ON AN OLDER VERSION OF THE PRODUCT.
AND ACTUALLY THE PRODUCT THAT WE'RE ON, THEY'RE SUN SETTING, THEY'RE NO LONGER GONNA CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IT.
SO IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH SUPPORT ON IT, WE NEED TO MOVE INTO THE NEW, NEW SYSTEM.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? NOPE.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MADAM? SO MOVED.
OH, THERE'S A SCRIPTED MOTION.
WHAT THE, IS THERE, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A MOTION IN THE PACKET.
YET THERE IS, IS IT, IT SAYS YES.
WOULD YOU I MOVE THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN THE MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT AND ADDENDUM NUMBER ONE WITH SUCH CHANGES AS MAY BE APPROVED BY THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR IN CONSULTATION WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND ROLL CALL PLEASE.
THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH WAS ON THE WRONG PAGE.
[K. Authorization to Advertise FY 23-24 Budget]
NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS THE AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE YOUR FISCAL YEAR 2324 BUDGET.SO IS THIS NEW SCOTT? THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
WE HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET, AND I ALSO HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR YOU AS WELL THIS EVENING.
SOME OF THE MAJOR IMPACTS OF FISCAL YEAR 24 IS WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE STATE BUDGET CHANGES ARE CURRENTLY.
UM, AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR OF THE STATE'S BUDGET.
SO THERE IS A BUDGET IN PLACE.
HOWEVER, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE AMENDMENTS ARE TO THAT BUDGET.
THE REASSESSMENT AND TAX RATE EQUALIZATION HAS MADE SOME CHANGES.
AND SO AS OF LAST TUESDAY, WE HAVE AN EQUALIZED RATE AND WE HAVE STAFFING NEEDS AT THE FORTS SMITH FIRE STATION AS WELL.
THIS WAS PRESENTED AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS WITH THE BUDGET HEARINGS.
THERE IS A 19.6% INCREASE AT THE RAPPAHANNOCK SHENANDOAH REGIONAL JAIL DUE TO THE REDUCTION IN CONTRACT OF BED SPACE.
AND THERE IS A 8% HEALTH INSURANCE INCREASE.
SOME OF THE INITIATIVES THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE CONTINUING IN FISCAL YEAR 24 IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF ALT ORG FOUR IN THE SHENANDOAH FARMS SANITARY DISTRICT.
THE LARGEST PIECE OF THAT PROJECT WAS THE BOX CULVERTS, WHICH WERE TAKEN OUT TO COMPETITIVE BID, COMPETITIVE SEAD BID.
UM, AND WE HAVE A PURCHASE ORDER IN PLACE AND WE EXPECT TO HAVE THE BOX CULVERTS LATER THIS FALL.
THERE ARE SOME MAJOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SLASH SECURITY UPGRADES IN FUNDING FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY WITH THE SCHOOL'S CAPITAL.
WE HAVE LESLIE FOX, KAISER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OF RENOVATIONS COMPLETION FOR 24, AND WE HAVE AN UPDATED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT IN ASSET REPLACEMENT FUND.
SOME NEW INITIATIVES IS THE EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM, THE DESIGN AND
[00:25:01]
IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRUCTION, THE BEGINNING OF THAT PROJECT FOR THE SHANDO FARMS FIRE STATION IN FIRE STATION AND CANCER PREVENTION AND P P E PROGRAMS. WE ALSO HAVE THE DESIGN AND MULTIPURPOSE ROOM AT THE E WILSON MORRIS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL N C SEED FUNDING FOR THE NEW FANTASY LAND FACILITY.SOME MORE NEW INITIATIVES IS A NEW ASSESSMENT SOFTWARE, WHICH YOU'VE JUST APPROVED TONIGHT.
THE DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS CLERK IN THE TREASURER'S DEPARTMENT, ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING SOFTWARE UPGRADES.
YOU JUST APPROVED THE BUDGETING SOFTWARE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
AND, UH, STAFF IS VIGOROUSLY INVESTIGATING A PROPER FINANCIAL SYSTEM REPLACEMENT AS WELL.
WE HAVE PROPOSED SIX NEW FIRE AND RESCUE POSITIONS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES HAS RECEIVED A STATE NOTICE.
THEY ARE GOING TO GET FUNDING FOR TWO NEW STATE FUNDED CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES POSITIONS.
SO HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR REVENUE.
THE OVERALL TOTAL IS $92,000,714 752.
DOES THAT IN, DOES THAT INCLUDE OUR ARPA GRANT? THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ARPA AND WE HAVE, WE'RE GONNA GO OVER ARPA BUDGET IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.
UM, I JUST WANNA QUICKLY POINT OUT SOME OF THE MAJOR CHANGES.
UM, THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL UH, FUND, UM, THAT'S THE TRANSFER FROM PRIOR YEAR FUND BALANCE, YOU'LL NOTICE IS A LARGE REDUCTION IN THAT.
THAT'S BASICALLY DUE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ASSET REPLACEMENT PROGRAM IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, WHICH WERE FUNDED THROUGH TRANSFERS FROM THE SPECIAL PROJECTS FUND, WHICH HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN A NOT APPROPRIATED FUND THAT WAS NOT NECESSARILY RECOGNIZED THROUGHOUT THE AUDIT PROCESS.
THE EXPENDITURES ALSO TOTAL $92,714,752.
THE DEBT SERVICE REMAINS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.
ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT NOTED ON THIS SLIDE.
UM, IT'S BECAUSE THERE WAS A, A NEW FUND FOR DEBT SERVICE.
WE HAD PREVIOUSLY NOT CALCULATED THE PRINCIPLE AND THE INTEREST ON OUR DEBT SERVICE.
THIS, THIS SCOTT, UM, ON THE EXPENDITURES, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PIECE FROM FY 21 TO FY 22, IT'S SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT.
DID WE, DID WE PUT SOME GROUPS OF THINGS TOGETHER THAT WE HADN'T GROUPED TOGETHER BEFORE? YES, THAT'S QUITE POSSIBLE.
I'M WONDERING BECAUSE THAT'S GONE FROM 8 22 TO 3,800,000 AND DR.
THAT'S WHERE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 300.
SO TAX RATES AS A QUICK REVIEW, THESE WERE APPROVED LAST WEEK.
SO WE'RE AT, UH, 0.655 PER HUNDRED DOLLARS VALUE.
SOME OF THE TAX RATES OF THE SURROUNDING LOCATIONS, UM, RIGHT AT THE TOP SHOULD HAVE BEEN CITY OF WINCHESTER WITH THE HIGHEST AT 83 CENTS PER A HUNDRED DOLLARS VALUE.
THIS IS THE BOTTOM NAME, I BELIEVE.
SO, SO ARE THESE THE CURRENT ONES OR THE, THESE THE YES SIR.
THESE HAVE BEEN ADOPTED FOR FISCAL YEAR 24.
NO, I MEAN FOR, FOR ALL OF THE OTHER COUNTIES.
ALL THE OTHER COUNTIES ARE CURRENT AS WELL.
THESE WERE ALSO APPROVED LAST WEEK.
SO IN PERSONNEL ITEMS OF NOTE ARE THE SEVEN NEW FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES THAT ARE PROPOSED.
THE ONE IN FIRE, I'M SORRY, THE SIXTH IN FIRE RESCUE AND THE ONE DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS CLERK POSITION IN THE TREASURER'S OFFICE.
THERE ARE ADJUSTMENTS TO PERSONNEL IN THE ACCOUNTING TECHNICIAN IN THE FOREIGN RESCUE DEPARTMENT, THE SENIOR ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE MANAGER IN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ADJUSTMENTS IN THEIR SALARIES.
[00:30:01]
IS AN OVERALL 5% COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR STAFF AND A 1% MERIT POOL THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AS WELL AS THE TWO NEW STATE FUNDED CPS POSITIONS.AND THOSE ARE A HUNDRED PERCENT STATE FUNDED.
HERE ARE SOME COMPENSATION PERCENTAGES FROM SURROUNDING LOCALITIES.
THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN THERE IS A TOTAL OF $10,155,369 THAT IS PROPOSED FOR FISCAL YEAR 24.
THE TOTAL COMES FROM THE 6.8 MILLION IN FIRE AND RESCUE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES, WHICH IS THE FIRE STATION DEVELOPMENT.
THE 2.5 MILLION PUBLIC WORKS, THE CONVENIENT SITE DEVELOPMENT AND THE BUILDING REPAIRS THE 700,000 IN PARKS AND REC, WHICH IS THE FANTASY LEONIAN RECONSTRUCTION.
WE HAVE TEXAS TRAIL ROCKLAND PARK ATHLETIC FIELDS IN THE INDIAN HABA BOAT LANDING.
AND ALSO THERE IS $60,000 IN THE LIBRARY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A SPECIFIC SECTION OF THE LIBRARY.
UM, TH THIS WILL BE FUNDED THE, THE FULL 10 MILLION PLUS WILL BE FUNDED FOR FROM THE CARRYOVER FROM THIS CURRENT YEAR, WHICH IS $9,455,369, AN ESTIMATED GRANT FOR 300,000 OF PARKS AND $400,000 THAT IS COMING FROM ARPA FUNDING.
AND THAT CAN BE USED FOR FIREFIGHTER SAFETY, UH, IMPROVEMENTS.
SO THERE IS NOT A GENERAL INCREASE IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
THIS IS THE FIVE YEAR ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO READ ON THIS SLIDE, BUT YOU'LL SEE THE TWO, UM, NEW REQUESTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 24, WHICH ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE.
AND THE MAJOR FUNDING IS GOING TOWARDS THE CANCER PREVENTION MEASURES AND THE FIRE STATION ENHANCEMENTS.
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE FUNDED FROM THE FUNDING.
SO THERE'S NO NEW MONEY THAT IS BEING REQUESTED FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
THE ASSET REPLACEMENT PROGRAM IS VERY SIMILAR.
THERE'S A TOTAL OF $2,266,121.
THERE IS A TOTAL OF 250,000 IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SLASH SECURITY UPGRADES.
THERE'S A TOTAL OF 772,000 IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE, 375,000 IN FIRE AND RESCUE, 203,000 IN PARKINSON, IRAQ.
AND MOST OF THOSE WERE PRO, ALL OF THOSE WERE PROPOSED DURING OUR BUDGET HEARINGS.
AND THE TOTAL FROM THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR THAT'S GOING TO BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR IN UNSPENT PROJECTS THAT ARE ONGOING IS $3,866,121.
SO THAT IS GOING TO BE PART OF THE OVERALL BUDGET FOR THE ASSET REPLACEMENT PROGRAM.
SO THE NUMBER THAT YOU SEE INCLUDES THAT NUMBER AND ANY OF THE NEW REQUESTS.
THIS IS THE WARREN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL'S FISCAL YEAR 24 SUPERINTENDENT'S APPROVED BUDGET.
THIS IS SUPPLIED BY THE CODE OF VIRGINIA CATEGORICAL FUNDING.
SO THIS IS THE ARPA BUDGET THAT YOU'VE MAYBE SEEN BEFORE, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE APPROPRIATED FOR FISCAL YEAR 24.
THERE HAS BEEN SOME EXPENDITURES FROM THIS AND WE HAVE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $7,668,010 FROM TOTAL OPERA FUNDING.
THE EXPENDITURES FOR THIS YEAR HAVE BEEN THE CHESTER GAP VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THERE WERE DEPUTY BONUSES AND WE QUARTERLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE NORTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY REGIONAL COMMISSION'S BROADBAND PROJECT.
THAT IS A TOTAL OF $2,760,000 FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.
AND NEXT FISCAL YEAR, IT IS GOING TO BE THE EXACT SAME.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE APPROPRIATED THE FOLLOWING YEAR TO THIS CURRENT, THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
[00:35:01]
SO THAT APPROPRIATION IS $4,140,000.I'M SORRY, CAN YOU GO BACK? YEP.
YEAH, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS TOO.
SO THE ARPA, UH, THE ARPA FUNDING IS, IT GOES AWAY, RIGHT? YES, IT, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FUNDING, UM, OR WE WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY MORE FUNDING.
SO WE HAVE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $7,668,010.
AND THAT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR SPECIFIC RIGHT PURPOSES.
AND WE HAVE DEDICATED 6.9 MILLION TO BROADBAND.
SO ONCE, UH, THE ORCA BUDGET EXPIRES WITH ALL OF THESE EXPENDITURES, UM, WILL THEY BE, UM, THEY'RE NOT REOCCURRING EXPENDITURES, CORRECT? CORRECT.
THEY ARE NOT REOCCURRING EXPENDITURES.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY EXPENDITURES OTHER THAN OUR COMMITMENT TO THE NORTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY REGIONAL COMMISSION WHO IS THE MANAGER FOR OUR BROADBAND, OUR REGIONAL BROADBAND PROJECT.
AND SO IN FISCAL YEAR 25 WILL BE THE LAST TIME WE PAY THEM.
AND THAT'S APPROPRIATED IN FISCAL YEAR 24.
AND, UH, MAYBE YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION, BUT ONCE THE, THE, UH, MONEY IS EXPIRES, DO WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL BE ROLLING THESE EXPENDITURES INTO THE GENERAL FUND? SO THESE EXPENDITURES ARE COMING OUT OF ARPA? RIGHT, RIGHT.
SO EXAMPLE, LIKE CHESTER GAP RIGHT NOW WE, WE GAVE HIM 41
UM, WE HAVE THE DEPUTY, SORRY, MY EYES ARE AT DEPUTY BONUSES.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE, UH, FIREFIGHTER STATION SAFETY.
SO ARE THESE JUST ONE SH ONE EXPENDITURE? CORRECT.
AND SO WE, YOU KNOW, ONCE THE MONEY RISES UP RIGHT, WE DON'T HAVE ANY THEN WE'RE NOT GONNA BE CORRECT.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY EXPENDITURES FOR THIS FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR C I P MA'AM, YOU WILL SEE WHERE THE FIRE STATION RENOVATIONS AND THAT ARE BUDGETED EACH YEAR ACROSS.
WE'LL SEE WHERE THOSE GO UNTIL THEY'RE COMPLETED USING THE ARPA MONEY, WE WILL MOVE THAT UP AND COMPLETE IT.
UH, HOPEFULLY THIS NEXT YEAR IS OUR PLAN TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
SO THIS MONEY WAS USED TO COVER THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WHO WERE NOT UNDER THE COMP BOARD.
AND SO THOSE WERE ALL ONE TIME.
THE ONE THAT REMAINS TO LOOK AT FOR THE LONGER TERM FUTURE WILL BE WHAT THE BOARD, UH, WHAT WARREN COUNTY DOES IN RELATION TO RAPPAHANNOCK AND CHESTER GAP.
AND WE'LL THAT IS IN THE CURRENT, THIS CURRENT BUDGET IT'S PLAYING FOR NEXT YEAR AND WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO AFTER THAT.
ON THE ARPA FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED FOR TOURISM.
VISITOR CENTER UPGRADES MARKETING PROGRAM.
SO I, WE HAVE $85,000 AND SO WE DON'T HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE TOWN ANY LONGER TO DO TOURISM AND WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE VISITOR CENTER TO DO THE UPGRADES.
SO WHAT MY QUESTION IS, IS DOES THIS MONEY EXPIRE OR DO WE REAPPROPRIATE IT OR, OKAY, HERE COMES DARREN
AND I THINK THAT IS A DISCUSSION THAT THE BOARD SHOULD HAVE BOARD OR OUR COMMITTEE SETUP.
UM, WHICH HAS REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE COUNTY IN TOWN ON IT.
DO WE HAVE A DEADLINE TERRAN FOR DOING THAT? IS THERE A DEADLINE? THE DEADLINE TO USE THE MONEY IS THE END OF THIS YEAR.
SO WE SHOULD GO AHEAD AND, AND IF WE DON'T WANNA DO THE $25,000 TOWARDS THE VISITOR CENTER UPGRADE, THEN WE SHOULD GO AHEAD AND DO AN AMENDMENT OF THAT PLAN AND SEND IT TO THE CONSULTANT THAT IS HANDLING THAT FOR VIRGINIA TOURISM.
IS THIS, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT THEN.
OFFLINE I JUST WANTED, CUZ IT'S ALREADY LISTED AS EXPENDITURE AND
[00:40:01]
SO, AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD ACCESS TO THE VISITOR CENTER BECAUSE THE TOWN HAS TAKEN BACK CONTROL OF THE VISITORS CENTER AND HAS NOT ALLOWED ACCESS INTO VISITOR CENTER TO DO THE FINAL STAGE OF THE IMPROVEMENT.SO I WANTED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY, WHAT PLAN B WAS IF WE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE, IF WE ARE GONNA LOSE THIS MONEY, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A BETTER WAY TO USE IT.
IS THIS MONEY CONTINGENT ON THE MOU
WE KNOW WE DON'T HAVE THE KEYS TO THE VISITOR CENTER.
SO BUT THIS, I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT THE TOWN IS KIND OF REGROUPING AND COMING UP WITH AN MOU AND HOW WE CAN, YOU KNOW, UH, DISTRIBUTE OUR, UM, OUR RESOURCES.
IS THIS FUNDING CONTINGENT ON US TRYING TO WORK WITH THEM? I CAN PARTIALLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
JUST HAVING BEEN PART OF THE INITIAL SETUP OF THAT, THE VIRGINIA TOURISM HAS A DESTINATION MARKETING ORGANIZATION DESIGNATION, WHICH CURRENTLY RESIDES WITH THE TOWN.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
WE BOTH NEEDED TO WORK ON THIS BUDGET TOGETHER AND THE MOU HELPED US DO THAT.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL NEED TO CONSIDER AS WELL AS THAT DESTINATION MARKETING ORGANIZATION DESIGNATION.
SO WE WILL MOVE ON IF NECESSARY.
DID THAT ANSWER EVERYBODY'S QUESTIONS FOR THANK YOU.
YEAH, I JUST NEEDED CLARIFICATION ON IT CUZ THAT'S $85,000 AND I WANNA MAKE SURE IT GETS USED TO THE BEST OF THE TOURISM AND YOU KNOW, OF OUR TOURISM AREA'S, UH, ABILITY.
SOME OF THE NEXT STEPS IS, UM, THE AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE ON MAY 16TH, WHICH IS TODAY FOR THE JUNE 6TH ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET.
UH, THE BUDGET IS TO BE POSTED AND ADVERTISED.
UH, THE DEPARTMENT LINE ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN REVIEW WITH THE DEPARTMENTS AT 6:00 PM MAY 30TH MEETING.
AND UM, THEN WE WILL REVIEW WITH THE BOARD THE MERIT POOL GUIDELINES, THE STATE BUDGET JUNE OR POTENTIALLY LATER AND COLA TO BEGIN AUGUST 1ST, 2023.
AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION FOR THE BUDGET DECISION.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, WHEN, WHEN CAN THE BOARD LOOK AT ALL OF THE BUDGET SPREADSHEETS THAT WE REVIEWED WITH ALL THE APPROPRIATE CHANGES TOMORROW MM-HMM.
TOMORROW THEY'LL BE ON THE SITE THAT YOU HAVE WHERE ALL THE UPDATED THAT YOU USE DURING YOUR PRE-HEARING AND ALL THAT.
CAN SOMEBODY SEND ME A LINK? BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS OUT THERE THAT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE MOST RECENT UPDATED ONE IS.
COULD YOU SEND YOU THAT? SURE.
DALEY, DID YOU WANNA ADD ANYTHING? I WANT TO APPRECIATE, UM, MRS. LOGAN AND MRS. SCOTT AND UH, MEGAN CHESHIRE FOR ALL THEIR WORK ON THIS BUDGET AND, UH, APPRECIATE THEM BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER.
AND OF COURSE, MR. HENDERSON WHO FRANTICALLY RAN AROUND PUTTING ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER FOR ME, KEPT US COOL THE ENTIRE TIME.
I WOULD YOU YELL AT ME ONCE? WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT, THAT THIS BOARD HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB OF KEEPING TAX LEVELING IN THIS COMMUNITY.
UM, I, OUR SURROUNDING COUNTIES, AS YOU CAN SEE, ARE NOT AS LOW ON THE REAL ESTATE TAX RATE.
AND I THINK THAT IT'S COMMENDABLE TO YOU AND THIS MORE FOR MAKING SURE THAT THE IMPACT OF THE, IN THIS INFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT AND THE INCREASE IN HOUSING COST AND PRICES IN OUR COMMUNITY IS NOT HITTING OUR TAXPAYERS SQUARE IN THE, BETWEEN THE EYES AND THE OTHER COMMUNITIES.
IT IS, AND I WILL SAY THAT IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, I DID CANVAS AND ALMOST ALL OF THEIR HOUSING PRICES INCREASE PROPORTIONALLY.
NOW THEY MEASURE 'EM AT DIFFERENT RATES THAN INTERVALS, BUT THEY INCREASED IN THE SAME PROPORTIONS THAT THEY DID IN WARREN COUNTY.
SO 40% FOR OUR 40 WAS THE AVERAGE FOR US FOR FOUR YEARS.
AND FREDERICK IT WAS, YOU KNOW, THE SAME, IT WOULD'VE BEEN OVER FOUR YEARS.
SO IT WOULD'VE BEEN THE SAME OVER FOUR YEAR PERIOD.
UM, SO I WOULD JUST, I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE, 49 CENTS PER HUNDRED IS PRETTY AMAZING.
WELL WE HAVE TO REMEMBER WE HAVE A BUDGET IN THE BOX SO WE'LL BE WATCHING THE EXPENDITURES AS WELL.
[00:45:01]
UM, THAT'S, WE HAVE TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN THE BUDGETS.IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR BUDGET? OKAY.
IF NOT, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO, UM, TO, UH, FOR AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE OR FISCAL YEAR 2324 BUDGET? I MOVE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR FY 2324 BUDGET.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND ROLL CALL PLEASE.
SO WE'RE UP TO ADDITIONAL NEW BUSINESSES.
DOES ANYBODY WANNA BRING ANYTHING NEW TALK ABOUT DISCUSSED? IF NOT, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING? SO MOVED.
