Aug 06, 2025 Board of Supervisors Meeting

GOOD EVENING.

I'M PATRICK PATTON IN REPRESENTING THE BLUE MOUNTAIN PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, B-M-P-O-A ON A REQUEST TO DELAY THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UH, FOR LOT 4 5 46 INDIAN PIPES ROAD.

B-M-P-O-A PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED THAT CONSIDERATION OF THIS CUP BE DEFERRED UNTIL AFTER THE HOUSE WAS ACTUALLY BUILT.

WE DID THIS VIA EMAILS TO WARREN COUNTY PLANNING, ZONING PLANNING DEPARTMENT ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CHASE LENS.

THE COUNTY RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE.

NOW, B-M-P-O-A REQUESTS AGAIN THAT THIS ACTION BE DEFERRED.

AND THIS IS ITEM 10 IN THE NEW NEW, UH, BUSINESS TODAY ON THE AGENDA.

UM, THAT, THAT IT BE DEFERRED.

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR DEFERRAL TO USE, UM, TO ENSURE THAT THE OWNERS MEET OUR COVENANT REQUIREMENTS THAT THE COUNTY HAS NO INTEREST IN.

UH, AND HAS HAS TOLD US THAT BEFORE.

WE DO HOWEVER THINK DEFERRAL IS WARRANTED UNTIL THE OWNER BUILDER COMPLIES WITH VARIOUS COUNTY ORDINANCES ORDINANCES.

FIRST, DURING THE RECENT HEAVY RAINS, THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DRAINAGE DOWN PEEWEE LANE, WHICH IS WHERE NEXT TO THE NEW OWNERS, WHICH PULLED ALONG THE SIDE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF ROCKY SPRING.

B ON POA BELIEVES THAT THIS NEW PROPERTY SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE WARREN COUNTY WATERSHED REQUIREMENTS SHOWN IN PARAGRAPHS ONE 50 DASH SIX MINIMUM STANDARDS AND ONE 50 DASH SEVEN EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLANS MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE EROSION CONTROL AND, UH, EROSION CONTROL AND EROSION CONTROL PLANNING AS THE POOLING OF ON ROCKY SPRING HAD NOT OCCURRED PRIOR TO THIS, THEM STARTING THIS PARTICULAR NEW, UH, PROPERTY.

ONCE THE HOUSE'S HOUSE PASSES FINAL INSPECTION AND THE CUP IS INSURED AND ISSUED, THE EROSION STILL ISSUE MAY STILL PRESENT.

HOWEVER, BE BE PERSISTENT, HOWEVER, BMPA WILL BE POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THIS IS CLEARLY A COUNTY ISSUE AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE COUNTY HAS BEEN ASKED TO LOOK AT THE SITUATION.

IF IT HAS B-M-P-O-A HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH.

IF IT HASN'T, WE REITERATE OUR REQUEST TO HAVE THE PROPERTY CHECKED FOR APPROPRIATE EROSION CONTROL MEASURES PRIOR TO ANY FINAL ACTIONS BEING TAKEN.

WATER RUNOFF ON THIS MOUNTAIN GOES STRAIGHT INTO THE SHENANDOAH RIVER.

SECOND, PLEASE, UH, PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURE ON PAGE THREE THAT I'VE PRESENTED TO YOU IN THE PACKET RIGHT ON PAGE THREE.

IT STATES, UH, IT STATED WARREN COUNTY GIS SHOWING PROPERTIES CUL-DE-SAC BY LOT 5 46, WHICH IS ALSO ADDRESSED AT 1 45 INDIAN PIPES ROAD.

THE BUILDER HAS, UH, BUILT AN UNAUTHORIZED CUL-DE-SAC ON INDIUM PIPES ROAD INSTEAD OF COMPLETING INDIUM PIPES TO ITS OTHER PORTION.

THAT'S END.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR SIGN UP, SIR.

UM, REPORTS BY BOARD MEMBERS AND MS. COOK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO START? OKAY.

AND WE GO TO,

[E. Reports – Board Members, County Administrator, County Attorney]

UH, SO I WANT TO, UH, BEGIN OF, UM, SENDING OUT A, UM, CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FRONT ROW LITTLE LEAGUE AND WITH THEIR MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT AS THE VIRGINIA LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

UM, BEEN KIND OF FOLLOWING ALL THE, UM, EXCITEMENT ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA.

SO I WANNA JUST, UH, PUT MY, PUT MY HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS TO, TO THESE BOYS AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTED AND DONATED TO HELP THEM GET TO, UH, UH, WITH WHERE THEY ARE TODAY.

UM, UNFORTUNATELY I WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND THE, UH, NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, UM, LAST NIGHT, BUT I WANTED, UH, SEND OUT MY SUPPORT TO ALL OUR MEN AND WOMEN WHO SUPPORT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITY.

I JUST WANNA THANK EVERY ONE OF YOU TO, UH, FOR ALL YOU DO TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS IN OUR, IN OUR VISITORS TO WARREN COUNTY.

UM, I ALSO HAD A POSITIVE MEETING WITH THE, THE NEW, UM, SCHOOL BOARD SUPERINTENDENT AT THE INTERIM, UH, DR. MARTIN.

UM, IT WAS A REALLY GOOD MEETING.

UH, I LOOKED AND I LOOK FORWARD WITH HIM AND WORKING WITH THE STAFF WHEN COMING UP TO THE COMING UPCOMING, UH, FISCAL YEAR BUDGET.

UM, I ALSO ATTENDED THE, THE NEW TEACHER SCHOOL,

[00:10:01]

UH, THE SCHOOL BOARD'S NEW TEACHER LUNCHEON.

UM, AND, UM, AND I JUST, UH, THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'VE DONE IT AND, YOU KNOW, SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE, ON THE BOARD AND IT WAS A REALLY NICE EVENT AND SEEING ALL THE NEW TEACHERS WHO ARE COMING TO WARREN COUNTY.

UM, UM, TODAY WE HAD A-A-A-V-A-T-I UPDATE MEETING FOR BROADBAND.

UM, YOU KNOW, THEY KIND OF DIDN'T REALLY TOUCH ON MUCH OF THE PROGRESS OF WHERE WE ARE WITH WARREN COUNTY.

THEY TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE B PROGRAM AND THAT KIND OF THING.

BUT ANYWAY, THEY, THEY DID SAY THAT THEY'RE GONNA START REACHING OUT TO ALL THE COUNTIES NEXT WEEK TO, UH, TALK ABOUT THE PROJECTS AND YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY ARE.

SO, UM, I ATTENDED THE, UM, RSW AUTHORITY COMMITTEE COMMITTEE MEETING, UM, LAST WEEK.

AND WE DIS WE ALSO, UH, DISCUSSED COUNTY COMPLIANCE TO THE FEDERAL REGULATION OF 2 87 G.

UM, AND THEN OF COURSE, WITH EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, UH, UH, INVOLVED WITH THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR CO UM, CANDIDATE SELECTION.

UM, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY WELL ORGANIZED PROCESS AND, UM, AND I, I'VE REAL APPRECIATIVE WITH THE, UM, OUR RECRUITER AND HOW THEY, UH, PUT THE, THE WHOLE PROCESS TOGETHER.

AND LASTLY, THAT WE CANCELED THIS MONTH'S FINANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE SO OUR FINANCIAL STAFF CAN FOCUS ON AUDIT PRIORITIES.

SO, BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

I, I MET WITH THE INTERIM, UH, SUPERINTENDENT OF WARREN PO.

COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, DR. MARTIN.

UH, IT WAS A VERY ENCOURAGING CONVERSATION.

UM, I DO HAVE A DISTINCT SENSE THAT DR.

MARTIN'S EXPERIENCE IS GONNA BE VERY VALUABLE TO OUR SCHOOL BOARD, UH, PREPARING A WAY FOR A NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

I ALSO ATTENDED THAT NEW TEACHER LUNCHEON.

I WAS PLEASED TO HEAR FROM DR. MARTIN THAT THEY DID VERY WELL.

WELL WITH THEIR RECRUITING EFFORTS.

UM, CERTAINLY WISH THEM ALL WELL, AND I WISH THE SCHOOL BOARD WELL AS THEY EMBARK ON THEIR SEARCH FOR A NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

UM, I PARTICIPATED IN AN INTRODUCTORY CALL WITH THE SPORTS FACILITY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, UM, TRYING TO GET A BASIC GROUNDING OF THE SERVICES THEY OFFER.

UH, I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SPORTS TOURISM IN AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT FOR QUITE A FEW MONTHS NOW.

UM, AND I PLAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND BRING THIS BOARD, SOMETHING TO CONSIDER FAIRLY SOON.

UH, THINGS LIKE MARKET OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS, FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS, REVENUE IMPACT MODELS, UH, PRO PRO FORMA, FIVE YEAR FORECAST AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT INDICATE WHETHER THIS IS A REASONABLE PURSUIT, UH, TO CONSIDER.

AND, UH, ALONG WITH MY COLLEAGUES, I SPENT LAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY INTERVIEWING CANDIDATES FOR A NEW COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, UH, WHO WE ACTUALLY SELECTED JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO.

UM, I CAN SAY THAT THE PROCESS WAS ARDUOUS.

EACH CANDIDATE HAD UNIQUE SKILLS AND DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, UH, BUT I THOUGHT ALL OF THEM WERE WELL EQUIPPED TO DO THE JOB.

SO I THINK THE COUNTY WILL BE OPERATING UNDER CAPABLE, A CAPABLE ADMINISTRATOR WHEN DR.

DALEY TURNS OVER THE REIGNS.

THANK YOU, MR. STAN MEYER ARE, UM, JUST A HANDFUL OF THE MEETINGS I'VE ATTENDED RECENTLY HAVE INCLUDED THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE.

UM, I AS WELL MET WITH, UH, DR. DAVID MARTIN, THE INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE SCHOOLS.

AND THEN, UH, OTHER THAN THAT, I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, UH, FOR ANYONE IN THE, UH, SHANDRO FARMS AREA THAT PAVING WILL BEGIN IN THE HIGH TOP AREA, UH, DURING THE WEEK OF AUGUST 18TH.

UM, LASTLY, I'VE REALLY BEEN ENJOYING THE, UH, THE NEW FLYOVER, UH, ON ROCKLAND ROAD.

AND I'M VERY PLEASED THAT THEY, UH, GOT THAT DONE, UH, WELL AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

AND, UH, SO EVERYTHING'S BACK OPEN AGAIN.

AND EMERGENCY SERVICES PATTERNS ARE BACK TO NORMAL, UH, WHICH IS GOOD FOR EVERYBODY AS WELL.

SUPER.

MS. KOHLERS, UH, JULY 17TH, UM, I PARTICIPATED WITH THE HES KIDS FOUNDATION, UM, WHERE, UM, DIFFERENT SPEAKERS TALKED TO THIS, UM, THE ATTENDEES THERE, THE, UH, YOUTH AND THE COMMUNITY, AND THEY HAD THEIR, UM, ONLINE SHOPPING SPREE THAT DAY.

AND THEN I ALSO, UH, ATTENDED THE WARREN COUNTY TOURISM COMMITTEE WITH, UM, THE GROUP AT ROTO THAT DAY.

WE ARE KIND OF MOVING AROUND TO DIFFERENT SPOTS AND, UM, THAT COMMITTEE CONSISTS OF, UM, MR. WOOD FROM THE TOWN.

AND, UH, LIZZIE LEWIS IS ALSO FROM THE TOWN.

SO WE'RE COLLABORATING TOGETHER ON DIFFERENT IDEAS AND THINGS FOR THE FUTURE.

AND I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE BUILDING A GOOD FOUNDATION OF IDEAS

[00:15:01]

AND THINGS, UM, THAT WE HOPE TO IMPLEMENT SOON.

ONE OF THEM BEING WORKING ON THE 250TH BIRTHDAY OF THE UNITED STATES.

SO WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO, TO GET GOING ON THERE, BUT A LOT OF GOOD IDEAS AND PARTICIPATION FROM EVERYONE IS, UH, HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD AND LOOK FORWARD TO OUR NEXT MEETING.

AND JULY 20TH, UM, THE PALS, IT'S, UM, A GROUP THAT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS STARTED A POLICE ACT ATHLETICALLY FOR THE YOUTH IN THE COMMUNITY.

I THINK WE START, AND KRISTA'S NOT HERE, SO I MIGHT GET THE AGES WRONG, FIVE TO 13, BECAUSE I THINK THE EXPLORERS START AT 14 AND, UM, WE JUST ARE GETTING THIS GOING.

SO WE HAD AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL AT THE GAZEBO IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THEN WE HAD A REALLY GOOD TURNOUT OF PARENTS AND KIDS.

SO, UM, HAVE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES AND THINGS PLANNED, UM, FOR THE FUTURE WITH THAT.

AND OPEN TO IDEAS ON HOW TO GET INVOLVEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY ON THAT.

UM, JULY 21ST, WE HAD ANOTHER BOARD MEETING FOR THAT.

AND THEN JULY 23RD WE HAD THE FIRE CHIEF'S MEETING WHERE, UH, WE GET TOGETHER.

THIS ONE'S AT COMPANY 10.

AND, UM, DISCUSSION AS A WHOLE WITH ALL OF THE, UM, FIRE COMPANIES ON WHERE THEY ARE WITH, UM, LIKE, UM, THE REMODELING OF COMPANY 10, COMPANY EIGHT, WHICH COMPANY? 10 IS NORTH WARREN, COMPANY EIGHT IS, UH, FORT SMITH AND STAFFING AND TRAINING AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

AND THOSE GUYS ARE DOING, UH, GUYS AND GALS, 'CAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF FEMALE FIRE, UH, AND EMS PROVIDERS DOING WONDERFUL JOBS.

AND THEY'VE, THEY'VE BEEN ESPECIALLY BUSY LATELY.

UM, SO SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION WHEN YOU SEE 'EM AROUND BECAUSE THEY, THEY'VE REALLY HAD A LOT OF, A LOT OF CALLS LATELY.

UM, JULY 29TH, I ATTENDED, UH, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PUTS ON THE NEW TEACHER RECEPTION.

AND AS A MEMBER, I'VE BEEN GOING OUT THERE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS HELPING WITH THAT.

AND I THINK LAST YEAR WE HAD 90 SOME NEW TEACHERS THIS YEAR, 46.

SO I THINK THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES THAT, UM, RETENTION IS A LITTLE BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN.

AND, UM, ALSO, I, I DID MISS MATT LING'S RETIREMENT, UH, RECEPTION HERE, WHICH I HATED, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONE TIME.

SO I DO WISH HIM WELL ON HIS RETIREMENT.

UM, I TOO PARTICIPATED IN THE, UM, INTERVIEWS FOR A NEW COUNTY, UH, ADMINISTRATOR LAST NIGHT.

I WENT TO NATIONAL NIGHT OUT WEATHER COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER.

AND THE BAND WAS AWESOME.

THERE WERE SO MANY, I I THINK THE VENDORS SEEMED TO BE MORE THIS YEAR, BUT MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE THE CROWD WASN'T QUITE AS THICK.

UM, I THINK THE BASEBALL GAME, WHICH I CAN'T BLAME 'EM, THERE WAS A LOT OF WATCH PARTIES FOR THAT.

THE MAYOR WAS WALKING AROUND WITH A CELL PHONE WATCHING AND GIVING EVERYBODY UPDATES ON WHERE THE GAME WAS.

SO THAT WAS NICE TOO.

BUT I DO WANNA GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE FRONT ROYAL POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT STATE, UH, CHANDLER STATE RIVER PARK HEAD PEOPLE THERE, THE DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE AND GAME RESERVE, THEY HAD PEOPLE THERE, STATE POLICE.

UM, IT WAS, YOU KNOW, ALL THE, UM, COMMUNITY PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, PHOENIX AND DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, THEY WERE, THEY WERE ALL THERE.

HAD A LOT OF NICE LITTLE THINGS TO PICK UP.

UM, I WENT AROUND ALL NIGHT TRYING TO GET TWO MAGNETS IN THESE TWO LITTLE CUPS.

COULDN'T DO IT.

MY GRANDSON SHOOK IT THREE TIMES AND GOT IT THE FIRST TIME.

SO HE'S BETTER THAN ME AT THAT STUFF.

UM, I TOO WANNA CONGRATULATE THE 12-YEAR-OLD LITTLE LEAGUERS.

I'M TELLING YOU, I THINK THEY GOT ROBBED IF THEY HAD BEEN GIVEN ANOTHER DAY, I THINK THEY WOULD'VE TAKEN IT ALL.

BUT THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB AND NOTHING BUT GOOD PRAISES FOR THEM.

UM, JUST SOME, A LITTLE THINGS.

UM, ONE OF THANK VDOT AGAIN FOR ALL THE WORK THEY'VE DONE IN MY AREA WITH ALL THIS RAIN.

THANK GOODNESS WE'VE HAD A FEW DAYS THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY.

I ALSO WANNA GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO, UH, RSW BECAUSE THEY DO THE MOWING, IF YOU GO THREE 40, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE DOING THE MOWING AND THE MEDIUM STRIP AND IT LOOKS GREAT.

AND THEY FINALLY MOWED OFF THE JOHNSON GRASS THAT HAS BEEN DRIVING ME CRAZY.

SO I APPRECIATE ALL THEY DO.

IF YOU ARE TRAVELING TO, UM, UP AND DOWN THREE 40 TO PAGE COUNTY FROM LIME, UH, THE POND THERE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS IS THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PLACE ON THREE 40.

THEY'RE REPAVING SO THEY'RE GRINDING IT UP AND THEN, UM, WORKING

[00:20:01]

AT NIGHT.

SO I WENT THROUGH THERE LAST NIGHT.

IT'S A LITTLE TRICKY NAVIGATING THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE BRIGHT LIGHTS.

SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT.

THEY'RE GOING FROM THERE TO, THEY WERE AT THE CHURCH AT BENTONVILLE WHEN I CAME DOWN THIS AFTERNOON.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO THE PAGE COUNTY LINE.

THEY'VE DONE ONE LANE, SO WHEN THEY GET FINISHED, THEY'RE GONNA GO BACK AND DO, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG, BUT AT THE RATE THEY'RE GOING, THEY'RE GETTING IT DONE PRETTY QUICKLY.

BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU THE HEADS UP.

UM, AND THE PAVEMENT'S NOT STRIPED, SO YOU NEED TO JUST BE A LITTLE MORE CAUTIOUS IN THAT AREA.

UM, BESIDES THAT, I JUST WANNA WISH EVERYONE THAT'S TEACHERS AND STUDENTS A FANTASTIC BEGINNING TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.

I TOO MET WITH DR. MARTIN.

I THINK HE'S THE GREATEST THING.

SO I WOULD ALMOST PICK HIM FOR SUPERINTENDENT IF HE WASN'T RETIRED AND DIDN'T WANT THE JOB.

BUT, UM, IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO MEET HIM, HE'S A CHARACTER.

AND THAT'S MY REPORT.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

SO I JUST, UH, WANTED TO START OUT WITH THE, UH, I, I TOO MET WITH THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT I WAS, OR THE, THE INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT.

I TOO WISH THAT, UH, THAT HE WAS GONNA BE ONE THAT WE COULD RETAIN, BUT I KNOW THAT, UH, BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT HE'S RETIRED, HE'S GOT A CERTAIN TIME LIMIT THAT, UH, THAT HE CAN, YOU KNOW, UH, STAY WITH US.

UM, SO THE, UH, SO WE, WE ARE, UH, I KNOW THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD IS LOOKING FOR A, UH, ANOTHER SUPERINTENDENT AT THIS POINT.

UH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT, UH, TRULY APPRECIATE THE, THE JOB THAT ALL OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS IN THIS COUNTY DO AND THE, UH, AND, AND APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE HAD A NATIONAL NIGHT OUT THAT, UH, THAT COULD, YOU KNOW, SHOW THEM THAT APPRECIATION.

UH, JUST TO, JUST TO ADD ON TO WHAT, UM, DR.

JAMISON WAS SAYING OF THE, UH, THE BOARD HAS SELECTED A OR A NEW COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, WE WILL BE RELEASING THE NAME OF WITHIN THE NEXT, UH, WELL WITHIN THE NEXT SHORT PERIOD WHEN THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE.

SO THE, AND LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS A, UH, A, A RECENT, UH, UH, ARTICLE THAT, UH, CAME OUT IN THE, IN THE, UM, WHAT WAS IT, THE ROYAL EXAMINER, THE WHICH ONE? ROYAL EXAMINER.

THE, THE ROYAL EXAMINER.

AND IT WAS ABOUT, UH, THE, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND, UH, IN THE LIBRARY.

UH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THE, UH, THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS NOT, UH, WE HAVE NOT RELEASED ANYTHING.

AND THAT THE INFORMATION THAT CAME OUT IN THAT WAS HIGHLY INACCURATE.

SO I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT.

UM, AND UH, FINALLY, JUST TO, JUST TO ADD ON WHAT, UH, MS. CALLERS WAS SAYING.

WANNA CONGRATULATE THE LITTLE LEAGUERS.

THEY'VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB.

SO WITH THAT, DR.

DALEY, THANK YOU, SIR.

THE STATE HAS RELEASED THEIR, UH, ALLOCATIONS FOR THE NEW BEAD BROADBAND PROGRAM.

UH, WARREN COUNTY IS LISTED AS RECEIVING FUNDED FOR 2064 CONNECTIONS THROUGH FOUR DIFFERENT COMPANIES.

UH, WE WILL BE SENDING THE REPORT TO YOU, UH, TOMORROW.

IT IS OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

UH, WE HAD A BRIEF GENERAL, UH, COMMENTS FROM ALL POINTS BROADBAND REGARDING THEIR CONTRACT WITH THE REGIONAL COMMISSION AND THE JURISDICTIONS.

THEY WILL HAVE A SPECIFIC MEETING FOR WARREN COUNTY NEXT WEEK.

WE'VE ASKED IF WE COULD DO IT ON TUESDAY.

UH, THEY HAVE SUGGESTED A COUPLE OF ALTERNATIVE DAYS, AND IF WE CAN'T DO TUESDAY, WE'LL GET IT TO YOU RIGHT AWAY SO THAT YOU CAN SEE IF YOU CAN BE AVAILABLE.

AND THAT'S MY REPORT, SIR, IF I CAN ASK ONE QUESTION.

THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO USE THOSE, HOW THOSE ARE CONNECTED.

SO ARE THEY GOING TO PRESENT BOTH PROGRAMS, THE VATI AND BEADS, OR ARE THEY JUST GOING TO PRESENT WHERE THEY ARE ON THE BEADS FUND? UM, PROJECT, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM.

UH, THE BEAD MONEY HAS BEEN, AWARD HAS BEEN LISTED BY THE, UH, STATE.

THE STATE IS REQUIRED, UH, PUBLIC REVIEW TIME PERIOD MM-HMM .

BEFORE THEY WILL ENTER, BE ABLE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH ALL POINTS.

UM, IF THE POTENTIAL ALLOCATIONS HOLD, UH, AND THERE ARE NO CHANGES AFTER THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD,

[00:25:01]

I'LL REMIND THE BOARD THAT BRIGHT SPEED CAME TO YOU ALSO AND THAT THE COMMONWEALTH MADE ALLOCATIONS TO FOUR DIFFERENT COMPANIES.

THEY'RE NOT ALL JUST ALL POINTS.

AND WE WILL BE SENDING YOU THAT REPORT.

UM, COUNSELOR, I HAVE NO REPORT, MR. CHAIRMAN.

UH, AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR JULY 1ST REGULAR MEETING AND JULY 15TH, REGULAR MEETING.

THAT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME.

SO THE, UH, NEXT ON THE, UH,

[F. Approval of Minutes - July 1st Regular Meeting & July 15th Regular Meeting ]

DO I HAVE ANY COMMENTS? NO.

IF NOT, DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE, UH, JULY 1ST MEETING AND THE, ACTUALLY THE ALL THREE FILES HERE.

WE'RE READY TO BEGIN AGAIN.

AS PRESENTED IN THE AGENDA.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

ROLL CALL MRS. COLORS? AYE.

AND WE'LL GO TO THE, UH, TELL YOU WHAT, WE'LL TAKE JUST A, A VERY, VERY SHORT BREAK.

IT'S 7 28 AND OF SEVEN 30, WE WILL GO TO OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS AND THEN PICK UP WITH THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE,

[H. Public Hearing - Planning Department Fees - Authorization to Advertise for Public Hearing - Planning and Zoning Department Fees - Kelly Wahl , Planner ]

SO WE'LL START WITH THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARINGS AND, UH, PLANNING DEPARTMENT FEES.

NO, NO, NO.

SEVEN 30 PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

UH, IS THE CHANGES TO THE CODE OF VIRGINIA REGARDING SUBDIVISION PLAT SUBMITTALS, REVIEWS AND APPROVALS.

NECESSITATED NECESSITATED, UH, TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE WARREN COUNTY SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE.

WE RECENTLY JUST GOT THROUGH THAT TEXT AMENDMENT.

UH, TEXT AMENDMENTS REMOVED ALL REFERENCES TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AS REVIEWERS AND APPROVING AUTHORITIES FOR SUBDIVISIONS THROUGHOUT THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE ASSIGNING SUCH AUTHORITY TO THE ADMINISTRATOR.

UH, THOSE AMENDMENTS ALSO ELIMINATED THE SUBDIVISION CLASS SYSTEM CURRENTLY IN THE SUB, WELL PREVIOUSLY IN THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, WHICH BREAKS DOWN PLAT SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS AND APPROVING AUTHORITY BASED ON THE NUMBER OF NEW LOTS CREATED OR CREATION OF A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

UH, THE CURRENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT FEE SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN FOR SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FEES IS BASED ON THE SUBDIVISION CLASS SYSTEM, WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED.

UM, AND WITH THE, UH, THAT SYSTEM STRUCK FROM THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, IT IS NECESSARY TO REVISE THE FEE SCHEDULED TO ALIGN WITH THE SUBDIVISION APPLICATION, ALIGN THE SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FEES WITH THE FORMAT OF THE AMENDED SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE.

UH, PLANNING STAFF ARE ALSO PROPOSING ADDITIONAL FEES FOR NEW APPLICATIONS AND SOME ITEMS WITH MATCHING FEES HAVE BEEN CONSOLIDATED.

MAKESPACE, UH, INCLUDED IN THE MEETING PACKET, YOU WILL FIND THE NEW PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE PROPO A NEW PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE WITH ALL THE CHANGE CHANGES HIGHLIGHTED THE CURRENT FEE SCHEDULE ADOPTED IN JULY OF 2023 IN A SPREADSHEET COMPARING THE CURRENT AND PROPOSED FEES WITH THE FUTURE CURRENT FEE SCHEDULES FOR CLARK COUNTY, CU PEPPER COUNTY, FREDERICK COUNTY, PAGE COUNTY, RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, SHENANDOAH COUNTY, AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTY.

UH, THIS ITEM WAS, UH, HEARD BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON JULY 9TH, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID MOVE THIS FORWARD WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL.

UM, AND I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

UH, I DID HAVE A BREAKDOWN ON MY COVER SHEET OF, UH, BROKEN DOWN INTO NEW ITEMS, UH, ITEMS THAT WERE INCREASES IN THE FEES AND THEN, UH, CHANGES THAT WERE JUST FOR ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES.

UM, BUT I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADVERTISED.

DO, DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA AS TO, TO HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT THIS WILL PROVIDE FOR THE, THE COUNTY? I DO NOT.

OF REVENUE FROM LAST YEAR, RIGHT? DIDN'T WE? THAT'S WHERE MY BRAIN WAS JUST GOING, IS WE COULD POTENTIALLY USE SOME NUMBERS LAST YEAR PROJECT BASED ON THE DIFFERENCE.

DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS? IF I COULD ADD TO, TO COMMENT WITH YOUR QUESTION? I, I WOULD THINK THAT WE WOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF ESTIMATE

[00:30:01]

SO AT LEAST WE HA WE, THERE IS A BASELINE, IT'S JUST THAT WITH THE INCREASES, I DON'T KNOW HOW, UH, WHAT AN ESTIMATED ACTUAL WOULD BE IN THE FUTURE.

SO ANYWAY, JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT TO THE CONVERSATION.

I, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

UM, LOOKING THROUGH SOME OF THE FEE INCREASES, UM, THE JUSTIFICATION I'LL USE RIGHT AWAY.

VACATION, UM, $750.

CURRENTLY IT'S TWO 50 IN THE PROPOSING INCREASE BECAUSE THEY NECESSITATE AN ORDINANCE BE DRAFTED BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

UM, SO, OR DO WE NOT HAVE CURRENT ORDINANCES IN TO DEAL WITH THIS AND WE WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT OR NO? SO THAT'S ALL COVERED BY THE STATE CODE AND IT GOES OVER VARIOUS WAYS THAT YOU CAN VACATE, UH, A RIGHT OF WAY.

AND I BELIEVE THE WAY THAT WE HAVE PURSUED HAS BEEN BY DOING AN ORDINANCE.

SO, SO WE LOOK AT THESE AS IT COMES UP AND THEN WE DEAL WITH THE ORDINANCE IS KIND OF WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.

CORRECT.

AND I, I WOULD HAVE THE COUNTY ATTORNEY DRAFT THAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ENACT.

OH, OH, I, I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

HEARING, DO I HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP FOR THE TO, TO SPEAK? NO, SIR.

WOULD ANYBODY IN THE THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE? PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED NOW.

DO I HAVE A, UH, A, UM, A MOTION? YES.

UM, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ENACT AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING A REVISED SCHEDULE FOR PLANNING ZONING AND GIS FEES.

I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND ROLL CALL.

MRS. SI I'M GONNA SAY NO BECAUSE I GOT, I JUST KIND OF FEEL LIKE I HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH WAY SOME OF THIS IS WRITTEN, SO I, I'M GONNA KNOW.

THE AGENDA IS UNFINISHED BUSINESS, UH, CONTRACT WITH, UH, WALNUT HOLLOW FARM FOR HAY HARVEST.

SO, UM, OKAY, NEXT ON

[G. Contract - Walnut Hollow Farm Contract for Hay Harvest - Mike Berry, Public Works Director]

SO, MR. BERRY, GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN.

BOARD MEMBERS, UM, THE, UM, I, I WASN'T HERE FOR THE LAST PRESENTATION.

FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE WERE JUST SOME QUESTIONS ON THE, UH, THE BUSINESS NAME, UM, AND LLC.

BUT THIS, THIS CONTRACT IS FOR, UM, HARVESTING HAY ON OUR CLOSED LANDFILL AND WE GET A POOR BAIL COST.

UM, TYPICALLY IT'S UNDER $2,000 REVENUE, BUT, UM, IT'S, IT'S A HELP TO US, UM, IN, IN OUR PROGRAM AND, UM, HELPS US KEEP THE, THE LANDFILL CLEAN, UM, WHICH WE'RE HEAVILY REGULATED BY DEQ.

SO, UM, I'LL JUST ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

UM, IF THERE ARE ANYMORE, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS ON THE, UM, LET'S SEE, EXHIBIT B AND THE CORRECTIVE CONTRACT FOR SERVICES.

SO IF YOU GO TO THE CORRECTED CONTRACT, UH, WE HAVE WALNUT HOLLOW FARM AND, AND SHANE COOK.

MM-HMM .

BUT IN JULY, THE CONTRACT WAS ONLY FOR WAL WALNUT HOLLOW FARM, SO, CORRECT.

SO WHY, YOU KNOW, WHY DID WE ADD THIS INDIVIDUAL TO THIS CONTRACT? AND DID THEY BID ON THIS? OR WHO BID WALNUT HOLLOW FARM AND SHANE OR SO MR. CHAIRMAN, I'D LIKE TO ANSWER THAT.

SO THIS CONTRACT CAME ACROSS MY DESK FOR WALNUT HOLLOW FARM.

I, AS I ALWAYS DO, WENT LOOKING ON THE STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION.

THERE WAS A WALNUT HAR FARM, LLCI ASSUMED THAT THAT WAS THE RIGHT ENTITY.

I SENT IT THROUGH CIVIC, IT TURNED OUT NOT TO BE.

UM, AND SO WALNUT HOLLOW FARM IS AN UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATION CONSISTING OF

[00:35:01]

INDIVIDUALS.

THE COUNTY'S DONE BUSINESS WITH WALNUT HOLLOW FARM FOR A WHILE.

I ADDED SHANE COOK THERE TO CLARIFY AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT'S PART OF THAT UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATION KNOWN AS WALNUT HOLLOW FARM.

SO THE WALLET, UH, WALNUT HOLLOW FARM, LLC, THAT'S IN THE VIRGINIA SCC IS NOT THE SAME CORRECT.

IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

SO, UM, AND OF COURSE I LOOKED UP, UH, THE INDIVIDUAL AS WELL.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THERE.

SO, UM, IF YOU GO TO EXHIBIT B, IT, AND THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT UP OUR, OUR, UM, QUESTIONS IN JULY, IT SAID THAT THEY'RE NOT A CORPORATION OR AN LLC OR PARTNERSHIP, ET CETERA, BUT YET WHEN YOU LOOK IN, THAT'S ONE OF THE PROVISIONS SAYING THAT, UH, WE, THAT THEY SHOULD BE, THAT WE ARE BID, UM, UH, THE, THE STATEMENT OF WORK, AND I'M TRYING TO LOOK FOR THE PROVISION, I'M SORRY, BUT ANYWAY, IT, IT STATED THAT IT HAS TO BE AN LLC TO BID ON THIS RFP.

AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF THE CONFUSION THAT WE HAD.

SO IT, THAT STILL HASN'T CHANGED.

SO, MRS. COOK, WHAT SECTION ARE YOU REFERRING TO THAT SAYS PAST ANALYSIS? I'M LOOKING, I'M TRYING, I WISH I HAD PUT IT DOWN HERE.

IT WAS, UM, IT SAYS LIKE STATE CORPOR, UH, STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND IT SAYS PURSUANT TO CODE, UH, OH, SORRY, HAND IT'S ON PAGE, OH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT PAGE, THERE'S NO PAGE NUMBERS ON THIS.

IT SAYS EXHIBIT B, MA'AM.

IT'S EXHIBIT B, RIGHT.

AND THE TITLE IS STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION IDENTIFICATION CODE.

IT'S RIGHT BEFORE THE END OF SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

UM, BUT IT SAYS THAT THE BIDDER OR OFFER ORGANIZED, AUTHORIZED TO TRANS TRANSACT BUSINESS IN THE COMMONWEALTH PURSUANT TO TITLE BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, UH, IS REQUIRED TO INCLUDE AN IDENTIFI IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ISSUED BY THIS BY THE STATE.

SO I CAN CLARIFY THAT.

UHHUH , IT SAYS A BID OR OFFER ORGANIZED OR AUTHORIZED TO TRANSACT BUSINESS IN THE COMMONWEALTH PURSUANT TO TITLE 13.1 OR TITLE 50.

MM-HMM .

TITLE 13.1 IS CORPORATIONS TITLE 50.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS SITTING HERE.

BUT AN INDIVIDUAL IS AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE COMMONWEALTH AND DOESN'T HAVE AN SEC IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.

SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.

AND, AND THEN THIS BASED IN OUR CONVERSATION THAT THAT, THAT THEY DON'T, 'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT AN LLC, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE NOT AN LLC.

IF THEY, IF THEY WERE AN LLC, THEY WOULD BE ORGANIZED PURSUANT TO TITLE 13.1 OF THE VIRGINIA CODE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE AN SCC IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, BUT THEY'RE NOT AN LLC.

I SEE, I SEE.

WHERE, OKAY.

HE'S BASICALLY A FARMER.

PROBABLY MOST OF HIS ACTIVITIES RUN UNDER HIS, PROBABLY HIS ZOOM NUMBER I WOULD IMAGINE.

OH, I, I UNDERSTAND.

MM-HMM .

SO ANYWAY, THAT WAS THE CONFUSION THAT WE WERE HAVING.

AND SO THE ONLY, SO WE JUST ADDED SHANE TO IT.

I WANTED TO PROTECT, I'M CONFUSED WITH PROTECT COUNTY TO MAKE IT CLEAR BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A CONTRACT WITH WARRANT WITH, UH, WALNUT HOLLOW FARM.

WELL, WHAT IS WALNUT HOLLOW FARM? IT'S NOT AN LLC, IT'S NOT AN ENTITY.

IT'S WHAT'S CALLED AN UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATION.

AND SO THE ONE NAME I HAVE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATION IS SHANE COOK.

SO IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, I WANT IT TO BE CLEAR, UM, WHO THE OTHER PARTY IS.

AND SO WALNUT HOLLOW FARM I WOULD SAY IS SHANE COOK, BUT I WANTED THAT TO BE CLEAR.

IS THAT TRUE? WALNUT? WALNUT HOLLOW FARM IS THE NAME OF THE FARM OF THAT PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT HE OWNS.

UM, IT WAS, THAT WAS THE NAME BEFORE HE EVEN BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.

IT'S BEEN THAT FOR AS LONG AS I'VE KNOWN IT, IT'S BEEN THERE ON MY HOLLOW.

BUT THAT, BUT THAT PROPERTY THAT YOU REFERRING TO IS HIS PROPERTY? YES.

AND NOT THE PROPERTY THAT THIS CONTRACT IS CORRECT.

WHAT THE SERVICES ARE FOR? RIGHT.

THIS IS COUNTY PROPERTY.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

I HONESTLY, I DON'T REMEMBER AT THIS TIME.

SO, SO HE GOES BY WALL AND HOLLER FARM SHANE COOK ON HIS CHECK THAT HE PICKS US.

SO WHEN HE, WHEN HE, UM, SUBMITTED HIS, HIS BID VIA THE RFP, WHAT WAS THE TITLE? WAS IT HOLLOW WALNUT OR WAS IT SHANE? WHAT WAS THE ENTITY OR WAS IT BOTH?

[00:40:01]

I THINK IT WAS WALNUT HOLLOW FARM AND WALNUT HOLLOW FARM IS SHANE COOK BECAUSE THE FARM, THE PIECE OF PROPERTY CAN'T CONTRACT THE OWNER OF THE FARM.

SHANE COOK CAN.

YEAH, TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.

BUT I WANTED, I ADDED HIS NAME TO THIS BECAUSE I WANTED IT CLEAR WITHOUT ANY CONFUSION SO THAT WE HAD A VALID CONTRACT, I GUESS ON THE OTHER ONE WHO GOT CONFUSED .

SO THE BUSINESS NAME ON THE FILING THERE IS WALNUT HALL OF FARM AND DOWN BELOW IT SAYS SIGN SHANE C COOK.

I KNOW.

AUTHORIZED OWNER.

SO ANYWAY, SO, SO THAT'S WHAT WE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, SO, SO, OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY COMMENTS OR, NO, THAT'S, THAT'S IT.

I JUST NEEDED TO HAVE THOSE FOR THE ANSWERS.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS DR.

DALEY? NO.

OH, OKAY.

TELL MR. BERRY TO STAY THERE UNTIL WE BOTH ARE.

ALRIGHT, WELL IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, THANK YOU.

SO AT THIS POINT, UH, DO WE HAVE A, UM, DO I HAVE A MOTION QUESTION FOR, UH, MR. HAM BEFORE? SURE.

UM, AFTER YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T MAKE A CONTRACT WITH THE, SO THIS IS, UM, CONTRACT FOR SERVICES WITH WALNUT HOLLOW FARM.

SHOULD WE SAY, AND SHANE COOK, OR JUST LEAVE IT AS IT IS? WALNUT HOLLOW FARM IS SHANE COOK.

I'M FINE WITH THE MOTION.

I JUST WANT IT TO BE VERY, VERY CLEAR THAT THAT'S THE CASE, WHICH IS WHY I ADDED HIS NAME TO THE CONTRACT.

UH, BUT IT, IT'S FINE.

THE MOTION IS FINE AS I APPRECIATE YOU POINTING THAT OUT.

BUT THE MOTION IS FINE AS AS WRITTEN.

I NOTICED THAT.

OH, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.

OH, NO, GO AHEAD.

YOU JUST, I, I NOTICED THAT IN THE, UM, IN THE INVITATION TO BID ON THE FOURTH PAGE, UH, IN THE MIDDLE IT SAID THAT THE BIDDER OFFER, UM, IS REQUIRED TO INCLUDE ITS BID, UH, PROPO IN ITS BID PROPOSAL, THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER USED BY THE SCC.

SO I'M JUST WONDERING, UM, SO IS THAT REQUIREMENT MET? THAT IS WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IN EXHIBIT B? SO THAT IS IN EXHIBIT B.

B AND IT'D BE NICE IF THERE WERE PAGE NUMBERS ON THIS, BUT THIS IS STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND IT SAYS, UH, A BIDDER OR OFFER ORGANIZED OR AUTHORIZED TO TRANSACT BUSINESS IN THE COMMONWEALTH PURSUANT TO TITLE 13.1 OR TITLE 50.

THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.

SO IF IT WAS AN LLC, WHICH IT'S NOT RIGHT, IF IT WAS AN LLC, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE THAT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN CONTRACT WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN THAT.

YEAH, HE HAS THE, HE HAS EDI IN OR SOMEONE OTHER THAN THAT? YEP.

MS COVERS? NO, I WAS JUST GONNA MAKE A MOTION.

IF THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION MM-HMM.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? NO.

THE AGENDA IS, UH, NEW BUSINESS AND THE CONSENT AGENDA.

I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVE THE CONTRACT FOR SERVICES WITH WALNUT HOLLOW FARM.

I FURTHER MOVE THE BOARD AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR AND COUNTY COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, EITHER OF WHOM MAY ACT EXECUTE ON NECESSARY DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

ALRIGHT, WE SECOND.

I'LL SECOND IT.

ROLL CALL MRS. COLORS.

[I. Consent Agenda]

SO DO I HAVE ANY, UH, ANY ITEMS THAT, UH, THAT NEED TO BE PULLED? YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO PULL ITEM 10.

ITEM 10.

I WAS GONNA ASK TO, TO PULL THAT ONE AS WELL.

UM, AND I'D LIKE TO PULL ITEM TWO AND ITEM TWO.

ANY OTHER ITEMS ON THE, UH, CONSENT AGENDA THAT, UH, THAT YOU, YOU'D LIKE TO BE, UH, HAVE PULLED FOR DISCUSSION? IF NOT, DO I HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED.

[00:45:02]

SO THE, SO THE MOTION IS TO, UH, APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA, UH, LES ITEM TWO AND 10.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

[I.2. Request for Permanent Pump and Haul - 714 Bennys Beach Rd - Chase Lenz, Zoning Administrator]

YOU? YEAH.

UM, THIS IS FOR A REQUEST FOR A PERMIT PUMP AND HALL FOR BENNYS BEACH ROAD.

AND AS I WAS READING THROUGH ALL OF THE ATTACHMENTS, I GOT KIND OF LOST BETWEEN IF THIS IS A PUBLIC NEED OR A PRIVATE NEED.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS EXPLAINED WHAT SURE.

WHAT'S GOING ON? AND I'M, I STARTED, UH, WHEN I GOT THIS, I STARTED RIGHT WHERE YOU WERE , I WAS LIKE, WHAT IS THIS? OKAY.

UM, SO YEAH, A PUMP AND HAUL IS A FORM OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM, UM, THAT IS, YOU KNOW, IS FILLED AND PUMPED AND HAULED OFFSITE TO BE.

UM, SO THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

UM, IT WOULD SERVE SPECIFICALLY SEVEN 14 BENNYS BEACH ROAD.

SO IT WOULD SERVE.

NOW IS THAT COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY OR IS THAT PRIVATE PROPERTY? PRIVATE PROPERTY.

YEAH, THE, UH, PUBLIC NATURE OF IT IS KIND OF THE AGREEMENT OF HOW THE SEWAGE WILL BE HANDLED WELL, WHERE IT WILL BE DISPOSED OF IS REALLY THE, THE KEY THING.

'CAUSE UH, IN, IN THE PAST, FROM WHAT I FOUND, UM, THERE'S USUALLY AN ARRANGEMENT WITH THE TOWN OF FRONT ROYAL.

THE COUNTY SIGNS ON IT, THE TOWN SIGNS ON IT, THE CONTRACTOR THAT PUMPS THE, THE SYSTEM SIGNS ON IT, UH, AND UM, THEN THEY HAVE AN APPROVED LOCATION WITHIN THE TOWN TO DUMP THE, THE WASTE.

SO, UM, THAT'S HOW MUCH I'VE BEEN ABLE TO PICK UP.

IF IT'S APPROVED, WE WOULD, UH, WE WOULD WORK WITH THEM ON THE CONTRACT.

I'M STILL, I STILL DON'T GET WHAT THIS IS MAYBE BECAUSE I, I AM NOT I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH ABOUT, UH, WHAT A PUMP AND HAUL IS AND WHY WE'RE NO, IT'S OKAY.

I WAS AND WHY ARE WE, WHY ARE WE DOING, I WAS LEVEL ZERO AS WELL, .

UM, AND WHY ARE WE CONSIDERING, UM, APPROVING A PUMP AND HALL FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY? SURE.

UM, SO IT'S IN THE STATE CODE THAT THE LOCALITY CAN, UH, ENTER CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS, UH, FOR PUMPING HALLS, PRIVATE PUMPING HALLS.

UM, AND WE DO HAVE THE POLICY, UM, WHICH I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

I THINK IT WAS FROM LIKE THE NINETIES, RIGHT? YEAH.

AND SO BASICALLY THE SITUATION IS THAT THIS PROPERTY CANNOT BE SITUATED WITH A CONVENTIONAL OR AN ALTERNATIVE SEPTIC SYSTEM.

THEY HAVE BEEN OUTRIGHT DENIED BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR THOSE ITEMS. AND SO THIS IS THEIR, THEIR NEXT OPTION AND USUALLY THE LAST OPTION FOR A SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM.

SO THIS IS JUST AN APPLICATION TO THE COUNTY TO INSTALL? YEAH.

SO BASICALLY THIS, THE, THE STATE, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL NOT PERMIT A PUMP AND HAUL.

IT'S, IT'S BASICALLY DIRECTED TO THE LOCALITY TO HANDLE THESE REQUESTS.

'CAUSE IT IS NOT A STATE APPROVED SEW, ITS DISPOSAL SYSTEM, BUT THERE IS STATE CODE FOR HOW YOU CAN APPROVE IT AS THE LOCALITY.

, WE'VE, WE'VE DONE THIS, UM, THE STORAGE UNIT OUT THERE, UM, THAT NEW FACILITY NEXT TO THE CAR, THEY HAVE A PUMP AND HAUL MM-HMM .

BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET, UM, SEPTIC, THEY COULDN'T GET TOWNS LINED THROUGH BECAUSE OF THE ROCK MM-HMM .

UM, THE AMOUNT OF BLASTING AND SO FORTH.

SO WE APPROVED THAT.

AND I KNOW THERE WAS, UM, A PUMP AND HALL SITUATION WHEN THERE WAS, UM, THE POSSIBILITY OF A SCHOOL THAT WAS GONNA GO OUT.

I GUESS IT WOULD'VE BEEN NORTH RIVER.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE OUTCOME OF THAT, BUT, UM, I GUESS IN THE WAY PAST PEOPLE JUST USED OUTHOUSES, YOU DUG A HOLE IN AND PUT A BUILDING OVER IT AND THERE YOU GO.

UM, WHICH THIS IS A MUCH BETTER, UM, WAY OF DEALING WITH WASTE THAN THAT.

THIS IS, THIS IS BASICALLY GONNA COST THEM, ACCORDING TO THE CONTRACT, $4,500 A YEAR, WHICH IS PROBABLY DOUBLE THEIR PROPERTY TAX.

SO IT'S, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY'RE, IT'S THEIR LAST RESORT FOR SURE.

UM, AND IT'S, IT'S PROBABLY BETTER THAN A MARGINAL SEPTIC SYSTEM IN TERMS OF THE COUNTY'S POINT OF VIEW, JUST KNOWING THAT IT'S GETTING PUMPED OUT.

WELL, LOOKING AT THE COVER SHEET, I SEE THERE'S NA FOR COST OR FINANCING TO THE BOARD OF SU UH, TO THE COUNTY.

IS THAT CORRECT? SO IT'S GOING TO YEAH, IT'S ENTIRELY ON THE PROPERTY.

IT'S THE OWNERS WHO'LL BE ABSORBING THE COST FOR THIS.

AND WHAT'S THE REPORTING ON THAT? I MEAN, IS IT SIMILAR FOR OH, LIKE WHAT, WHAT THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT IF YOU DO APPROVE IT? WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, OR IF IT'S ACTUALLY GETTING PUMPED MONTHLY, FOR EXAMPLE.

[00:50:01]

I'M SORRY, I'M MISSING THE QUESTION.

THERE'S GONNA BE A CONTRACT TO PUMP IT EVERY MONTH.

IS THERE GONNA BE A, A REPORTING MECHANISM OR SOMETHING THAT YEAH, YEAH.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO SEND THAT TO US.

THAT'S BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

SORRY, I'M, I'M SORRY I MISSED YOUR QUESTION.

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, UH, MANDATE? NO, IT'S ACTUALLY SENT DIRECTLY TO OUR DEPARTMENT.

UM, YEAH, I JUST GOT ONE LAST WEEK FOR THE, THE CHURCH OFF OF THREE 40.

OKAY, THANKS.

THOSE, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS WAS.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IF NOT, DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVE THE PERMANENT PUMP AND HALL REQUEST FOR SEVEN 14 BIDDY BEACH ROAD.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND ROLL CALL MRS. COLORS? AYE.

[I.10. Authorization to Advertise for a Public Hearing: CUP2025-06-02 - Short-Term Tourist Rental - 145 Indian Pipes Rd - A request for a conditional use permit for a short-term tourist rental. The property is located at 145 Indian Pipes Road and is identified on tax map 24B, block 116, as lot 546. The property is zoned Residential-One (R-1) and is located in the Blue Mountain subdivision in the Shenandoah Magisterial District. - Chase Lenz, Zoning Administrator]

IS ITEM 10.

THAT'S THE, UM, SHORT TERM TOURIST RENTAL ON, UH, 1 45 INDIAN PIPES ROAD.

YEAH, SO THE REASON I PULLED THIS IS, UM, DUE TO THE INFORMATION THAT'S IN THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING, UH, AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WE PARTIALLY HEARD FROM THE, THE, UH, BLUE MOUNTAIN POA.

UM, AND, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, POTENTIALLY TABLE THIS, UH, SO THAT WE CAN GIVE PLANNING, UH, ZONING AND, AND BUILDING, UH, INSPECTIONS.

JUST A MOMENT, UH, TO, TO CHECK BACK AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S ABOVE BOARD WITH THE CUL-DE-SAC AND WITH WATERSHED REQUIREMENTS.

ONE 50 DASH SIX AND ONE 50 DASH SEVEN.

UM, AND ALSO TO GIVE US TIME TO DIGEST ALL THIS.

UH, SO I, I'D LIKE TO, TO TABLE THIS ANY DI DISCUSSION? NO, I, I AGREE.

UM, AND I GUESS SINCE MR. BEAM'S HERE QUESTION, UM, ARE THE, UM, THE DRAINAGE AND THE, UM, RETENTION, UM, OF THE SOIL WASH OFF, I CAN'T THINK OF THE WORD I WANT TO USE RIGHT NOW.

ARE THEY PART OF THE CRITERIA BEFORE YOU GIVE AN OCUS OCCUPANCY PERMIT OR DO THOSE THINGS? THEY CAN GET THAT IN GRASS AND THAT KIND OF THING DOESN'T FALL UNDER NEEDING TO BE DONE BEFORE THAT? A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING ONLY REQUIRES AN AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF WHICH MEANS BASICALLY THEY WILL KEEP SEDIMENT ON THEIR PROPERTY, NOT WATER CONTROL.

WATER CONTROL IS SOMETHING THAT IS HANDLED SEPARATELY.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE REGULATE AS FAR AS THE DRAINAGE.

THIS ISSUE IS ONLY BROUGHT UP TO ME.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A COMMENT OR A COMPLAINT, UH, PRIOR TO TODAY.

WITH REGARDS TO THIS, UH, AS FAR AS THE LAND DISTURBANCE WITH A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, THEY CAN GO UP TO AN ACRE OF DISTURBED AREA.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, FROM WHAT I CAN TELL ON THE GIS FROM JUST THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT I HAD, IS THAT THEY'RE CONSTRUCTING BASICALLY A DRIVEWAY FOR THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING THERE AT THIS POINT.

UM, NO BUILDING AS YET EITHER.

THERE IS A ROAD THAT IS DESIGNATED, WHICH IS WHAT WAS CALLED OUT HERE, THE INDIAN PINES ROAD, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY NOT AN ESTABLISHED ROAD.

I, I AGREE.

I THINK TABLING IT IS THE BEST BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I FEEL LIKE WE'RE PUTTING THE CART.

SO DO I HAVE A MOTION? WAIT, I'M CONFUSED.

HOLD ON.

I, I GUESS TODAY'S VICKY'S CONFUSED DAY.

SO THIS IS NUMBER 10, RIGHT? YEAH, THIS IS NUMBER 10.

YOU HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE, SIR? YOU JUST NEED TO SECOND, I'LL SECOND THAT.

I, I'M, BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I JUST WANT CLARIFICATION.

UH, CS WITHIN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.

THIS IS AUTHORIZED TO ADVERTISE AND I REMEMBER, UM, A MONTH AGO WE WERE GONNA TABLE SOMETHING THAT WAS AUTHORIZED TO ADVERTISE AND, UH, WE WERE INSTRUCTED THAT WE COULD NOT DO THAT.

IS THAT WHEN WE, UM, HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING IS WHEN WE CAN TABLE IT.

SO I JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT, UM, BASED ON, WELL, IT'S, IT'S A MATTER OF TIMING.

WHEN WAS THIS? UM, I MEAN, WE HAVE TO ACT ON,

[00:55:01]

WHEN WAS THE APPLICATION FILED CHASE LOADING? UH, 5 21.

2025.

SO YEAH, YOU CAN TABLE THIS, SO, OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

I, I, I, IT JUST, IT'S CONFLICTING FOR ME BECAUSE LAST MONTH WHEN WE WERE TRYING, WHEN I, UM, UH, I THINK LAST MONTH, MAYBE TWO MONTHS AGO, AND I WANTED TO TABLE AN AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR PUBLIC HEARING, I WAS TOLD THAT WE COULD NOT DO THAT.

WE, WE DO IT.

UM, WE, WHEN WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING IS WHEN WE WOULD TABLE IT.

BUT NOW YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS IS, OKAY, SO I I I'M JUST MAYBE, MAYBE THERE'S EXCEPTIONS THAT TO THE ROLE THAT I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH.

SO I HAVE NO ISSUES TABLING THIS.

WELL, I, I DON'T RECALL SAYING THAT SUPERVISOR COOK.

I, I HAVE SAID THAT MANY TIMES THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO AUTHORIZE ADVERTISING FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS, BUT IT'S THIS BODY'S CHOICE TO, TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE.

WELL, I'LL LOOK FOR THE VIDEO AND SEND IT TO YOU.

COMMENT, THE SECOND PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM TABLING IT.

SO DO I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND.

NEXT ON THE AGENDA, IS THE, UH, ANY ADDITIONAL NEW BUSINESS? IF NOT, WE'LL HAVE, UH, WE'LL START THE PUBLIC

[K. Public Comment Period - General Comments (30-Minute Time Limit)]

AND DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP? UH, YES, SIR.

JOHN JENKINS.

OKAY, GOOD EVENING.

JOHN JENKINS, SOUTH RIVER DISTRICT.

UH, I CALL THIS LITTLE WHAT I'M GONNA DISCUSS HERE AT TALE OF TWO CITIES.

UH, THE WARREN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS BEEN COMMENDED FOR CONDUCTING NEGOTIATION WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF BURY PUBLIC LIBRARY IN A THOROUGH AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER, REACHING A FINAL AGREEMENT, THE APPOINTED LIBRARY BOARD IS TO BE DISSOLVED WITH NEW MEMBERS COLLECTED JOINTLY BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND SAN REPUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

ALL OUTSTANDING ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND THE PREVIOUS WITHHELD TAX FUNDS ARE NOW BEING FULLY RELEASED.

THIS POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTS CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS IN RESOLVING CONCERNS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND FOSTERING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE HEALING AND UNITY CAN TAKE PLACE.

AND I CALL THAT FAKE NEWS.

NOW I'M TELLING YOU THE REAL STORY.

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DID NOT TAKE ANY ACTIONS TO INITIATE NEGOTIATIONS OF SAM'S PUBLIC LIBRARY.

OVER THE PAST MONTH, THE BOARD'S ONGOING POWER DYNAMICS AND AUTHORITY ACTIONS PERSIST.

$90 MILLION WAS DISTRIBUTED TO COUNTY DEPARTMENTS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COUNTY.

HOWEVER, THERE IS CURRENTLY NO OVERSIGHT OR SPECIAL COMMITTEE SET UP TO SUPERVISE OPERATION OR SPENDING.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, HAS UNDERGONE SCRUTINY FOR POTENTIAL INDISCRETION AND MISMANAGEMENT.

HOWEVER, NO EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING HAS BEEN FOUND.

THE BOARD IS NOT ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF THE INTERESTS OF CHILDREN, YOUNG ADULTS, AND SENIOR CITIZENS WHO NEED HELP WITH THE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY SAM LIBRARY.

THERE'S CONCERN THAT THE BOARD'S PRIORITIES MAY NOT ALIGN WITH THE BEST INTEREST OF THESE COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

THE BOARD'S DECISION NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN NEGOTIATIONS.

QUESTIONS ARE LEADERSHIP AND HAS RAISED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS OR THE INFLUENCE OF RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS ARE AFFECTING THEIR CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY NEEDS.

IS THE BOARD APPREHENSIVE ABOUT MEETING WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE GREATER ABILITY AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS? TRANSPARENCY, OPENNESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES EXPECTED FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS RATHER THAN DECISION MAKING THROUGH CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS AND NOT INFORMING THE PUBLIC OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

DURING MY FIVE DECADES AS A RESIDENT OF WARREN COUNTY, I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A DEPLORABLE ACTION BY ELECTED OFFICIAL.

IT IS MY HOPE AND EXPECTATION THAT THE NEXT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR WILL ENSURE THAT THE BOARD FULLY INFORMED OF ITS DUTIES OF ELECTED OFFICIALS AND RESPONSIBLY THAT IT SHOULD HOLD TOWARD THE CITIZENS.

THIS WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE NEXT PERSON THAT COMES IN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR SIGN UP, SIR.

WOULD ANYONE IN THE, UH, AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK? I

[01:00:04]

I'VE NEVER USED THIS.

UH, HELLO, UH, CHAIRMAN AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS KELLY HART.

I AM IN THE NORTH RIVER DISTRICT.

I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE A PREPARED STATEMENT.

I WAS JUST THINKING AS I WAS LISTENING TO MR. BUTLER READ THE STATEMENT PRIOR TO THE START OF THE MEETING AND YOU GIVE THE PART ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BE NICE, DON'T CUSS, BUT YOU SAY EVERY TIME, UM, YOU KNOW, DON'T MAKE NOISE, BUT THE CHAIRMAN CAN ASK FOR A SHOW OF HANDS IN SUPPORT.

SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT YOU ASK FOR THAT BECAUSE WHEN YOU SEE THE CROWD GOING LIKE, OH, WE WANNA SAY SOMETHING, YOU SHOULD STOP AND SAY A SHOW OF HANDS FOR SUPPORT FOR WHAT THE SPEAKER SAYS.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA AND YOU TALK ABOUT IT EVERY MEETING AND ON THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT THAT ARE UP THERE IN BIG LETTERS.

UM, I LIKE THE ONE THAT SAYS DIRECT COMMUNICATION TO APPROPRIATE PARTY.

AND I LIKE THE ONE THAT SAYS, USE A MODERATOR IF NECESSARY.

AND I THINK THAT'S ALL.

BUT IT'S BEEN A QUIET MEETING, SO I'VE BEEN READING THOSE.

SO PLEASE ASK US NEXT TIME.

OKAY, THANKS.

BYE.

WOULD ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

MY NAME'S RENZO.

I'M THE, UH, OWNER OF 1 45 INDIAN PIPES ROAD, WHICH YOU GUYS HAVE SPOKE ABOUT.

UM, I WASN'T PLANNING ON SPEAKING TODAY, BUT JUST THOUGHT I'D SHOW MY FACE.

UM, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, MY PROPERTY IS CAUSED SOME CONCERN AMONG THE COMMUNITY.

THIS WAS JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION TODAY.

UM, I SPOKE WITH BILLY, WHO'S THE, WHO ENFORCES ALL THE B-M-P-O-A STUFF, UM, JUST BEFORE COMING HERE.

AND I GUESS LIKE THE SENTIMENT IS LIKE, I'M JUST A YOUNG KID THAT DOESN'T WANT TO FOLLOW THE RULES.

I JUST WANNA MAKE THAT CLEAR THAT IT'S NOT THE CASE AS A SECOND LIEUTENANT IN THE ARMY OF RESERVES.

I UNDERSTAND.

RULE FOLLOWING.

I UNDERSTAND RESPECT.

UM, AND THIS IS ALL JUST COMING TO MY ATTENTION NOW, SO I WANTED TO OPEN UP TO YOU ALL TO MAYBE ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR, OR WHATNOT.

WELL, AT THIS POINT, THIS IS A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, SO IT'S, IT'S NOT A DIALOGUE.

SO THIS IS NOT THE FORMAT? NO.

AWESOME.

UM, WELL THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SERVICE THAT YOU GUYS OFFERED TO OUR COMMUNITY.
