          OKAY. 
          NEXT ITEM 
          [C. Public Comment Period (60 Minute Time Limit)]
ON OUR AGENDA IS THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. 
          THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO GIVE INPUT ON ANY REVEL RELEVANT ISSUE, NOT THE SUBJECT OF A PUBLIC HEARING. 
          AND AS IT IS NOT INTENDED AS A QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD, THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD SHALL BE LIMITED TO 60 MINUTES WITH A MAXIMUM OF THREE MINUTES FOR ANY ONE SPEAKER SPEAKER MAY ONLY SPEAK ONCE AND SPEAKERS WILL BE HEARD IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY HAVE SIGNED UP. 
          MRS SHIRAKI HAS ANYONE SIGNED UP CHAIRMAN LAURA LEE COSKATA. 
          HI, MY NAME IS LAURA LEE COSKATA I'M AT 79 MAGNOLIA DRIVE IN FRONT ROYAL. 
          THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME SPEAK TODAY. 
          I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT. 
          I KNOW THAT YOU'VE SAID THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA ANYMORE, AND YOU'RE WAITING FOR THE VOTE, UM, IN ABOUT A MONTH, BUT I WANTED TO REITERATE THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE BROUGHT TO YOU ALL A COUPLE OF TIMES NOW THAT UM, PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THIS COMMUNITY MIGHT NOT MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTE, BUT THEY CERTAINLY FEEL THE EFFECTS OF HATEFUL MONUMENTS LIKE THIS. 
          AND I DO BELIEVE THAT IT IS HATEFUL BECAUSE IT'S REPRESENTING A HISTORY OF SLAVERY AND OPPRESSION. 
          UM, AND THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO MEMORIALIZE THE PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT IN THOSE BATTLES, SUCH AS RELOCATING THE STATUE TO A PLACE, UM, WHERE DOES NOT ON PUBLIC GROUNDS, NOT BEING PUT IN THE FACES OF THESE PEOPLE DAY IN AND DAY OUT. 
          YOU HAVE TO BE REMINDED THAT THEY WERE NOT SO LONG AGO CONSIDERED PROPERTY AND THAT, YOU KNOW, EVEN TODAY, THEY CAN STILL WALK DOWN THE STREET AND HAVE A FEAR OF BEING KILLED FOR THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. 
          UM, MY BOYFRIEND IS BLACK AND WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD, HE WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND WAS STOPPED BY A POLICE OFFICER AND TOLD TO EMPTY HIS POCKETS. 
          AND HE WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, WALKING BROAD DAYLIGHT, 12 YEAR OLD KID. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, TODAY WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION AND NOT WAIT AROUND FOR THE MAJORITY TO COME AROUND ON ISSUES OF JUSTICE. 
          IF WE DID THAT, WOMEN WOULD NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE. 
          SLAVES WOULD STILL BE ENSLAVED. 
          UM, WE CAN'T JUST WAIT FOR THE MAJORITY TO VOTE YES. 
          ON A MATTER OF CIVIL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE. 
          AND WE NEED TO START LISTENING TO MINORITY VOICES, PEOPLE OF COLOR. 
          WE, MOST OF US IN HERE ARE WHITE PEOPLE. 
          AND WE'RE THE ONES THINKING THAT WE SHOULD BE DICTATING THESE ISSUES AND DECIDING, BUT WE'RE NOT LISTENING TO THOSE VOICES. 
          WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES AFFECTED AND LOSING THEIR LIVES. 
          UM, WE DID WANT THE COUNTY AND THE COUNTY HAD STATED AT OUR LAST TIME THAT WE WERE HERE TO ORGANIZE SOME SORT OF PUBLIC FORUM AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANY MOVEMENT ON THAT. 
          SO WE WENT AHEAD AND ORGANIZED AN EXPERT PANEL. 
          UM, WE'LL BE HAVING HISTORIANS. 
          UM, THE DEAN OF HUMANITIES FROM LORD FAIRFAX, COMMUNITY COLLEGE WILL BE SPEAKING IT'S ON SUNDAY THE 18TH. 
          AND I'M GOING TO JUST HAND YOU ALL A FEW FLYERS. 
          WE'D REALLY LOVE FOR YOU TO ATTEND, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. 
          HE WILL BE SPEAKING ABOUT, UM, THE WAY THAT THE STATUE IS ROOTED IN CONFEDERATE HISTORY, WHICH WAS A WARD PRESERVED SLAVERY. 
          AND WE REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE THERE. 
          AND JUST MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. 
          SO I'LL JUST LEAVE THESE UP HERE FOR YOU. 
          THAT'S UH, THAT'S AT BEN CROSBY STADIUM, CORRECT? YES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, MR. SHIRAKI HAS ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP? NO. 
          MR. CHAIRMAN . 
          IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FINAL CALL THEN? THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS NOW CLOSED. 
          NEXT THING, NEXT 
          [E. Report – Virginia Department of Transportation – Ed Carter]
ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS, UH, THE REPORTS. 
          UM, WE'RE GOING TO SWITCH THAT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT, MR. CARTER. 
          UM, COULD YOU SPEAK FOR US FIRST AND THEN WE'LL GO TO MR. BARRY, RIGHT, RIGHT AFTER THAT. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN 
          [00:10:01]
MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD. 
           OUR REPORT FOR THIS MONTH UNDER MAINTENANCE. 
          UH, WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR SECONDARY MOWING THE SECOND ROUND, AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO BEGIN WHAT WE CALL OUR FALL MORNING AND, AND, UH, BRUSH CUTTING. 
          WE WILL GO FENCE THE FENCE ON THE PRIMARY MEDIUMS AND EVERYTHING. 
          UH, TRY TO GET THAT COMPLETED BEFORE WEATHER HOLDS US UP. 
          WE'VE CONDUCTED DITCHING OPERATIONS THIS MONTH ON, UH, SIX OH THREE AND SIX 43 THAT'S HOUSEFIELD ROAD AND ALSO ON SIX 24 HAPPY CREEK ROAD MEAL, DALE ROAD, UH, AND IN SIX 47, DISMAL HOLLOW, SIX 30, EIGHT FRIESLAND AND BLUE MOUNTAIN AND SIX 56, THE LOOP ROAD. 
          AND EXCEPT FOR OUR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE REST OF THIS YEAR, WE CLOSED OUR DITCHING. 
          OUR RESIDENCY DITCHING CREWS WILL SHUT DOWN AND ALL WE WILL DO IS BE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UNTIL WE START BACK UP AGAIN. 
          NEXT SPRING, WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH HIS TEACHING CREW IS GO FROM AREA HEADQUARTERS TO AREA HEADQUARTERS. 
          WE LEASED A MACHINE. 
          IT HAS ALLOWED US TO GET, UH, AS MUCH AS SEVEN MILES A DAY DONE OF DITCHING IN THE VARIOUS AREAS THAT WE WERE WAY BEHIND. 
          AND THIS HAS ALLOWED US TO DO A LOT TO HELP CATCH UP WITH OUR DRAINAGE ISSUES. 
          UH, WE CONDUCTED OUR DRY RUN INSPECTIONS IN PREPARATION FOR WINTER OPERATIONS. 
          ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT WAS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. 
          THERE WERE A FEW MINOR THINGS THAT THE MECHANICS ARE TAKEN CARE OF, BUT WE'RE READY NOW TO, UH, TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          WE ARE RUNNING BEHIND IN THE SIGN UP OF CONTRACT EQUIPMENT. 
          WE HAVEN'T HAD AS MUCH RESPONSE AS WE'VE HAD IN PAST YEARS. 
          AND, UH, THE CLOSING DATE FOR THAT IS THE 14TH OF THIS MONTH. 
          AND WE WON'T KNOW YET. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE WAIT UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE. 
          WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL AFTER THAT CLOSING DATE EXACTLY WHERE WE STAND. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE BEHIND A RED STATE. 
          I MEAN, SORRY, DISTRICT-WIDE AND NUMBERS OF A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE GENERALLY SIGN UP FROM CONTRACTORS. 
          WE CONDUCTED A SKIN PATCHING OPERATIONS ON SIX, 13 BENTONVILLE ROAD. 
          WE'LL BE DOING VARIOUS ROADS THIS MONTH, UH, SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AS THE NEED ARISES. 
          WE'LL BE GRADING AND DRESSING UP VARIOUS NON-HARD SURFACE ROADS THIS MONTH. 
          UM, FIRST ON THE LIST WILL BE ROCKY HOLLER BECAUSE I OVERLOOKED AT THE LAST TIME I WAS OUT. 
          WE'LL GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO WE USED OUR STATE FORCES, UH, BECAUSE WE WERE RUNNING BEHIND TO GET CAUGHT ON MEAL, READY FOR THE SURFACE TREATMENT. 
          THAT'S THE LAST MIDDLE PIECE. 
          AND THERE, UH, TO BE RURAL RUSTIC, OUR PEOPLE ON THE, UH, OUR CONTRACTOR FOR SURFACE TREATMENT IS STARTING FRIDAY AND WARREN COUNTY TO, UH, BEGIN THE SURFACE TREATMENT, PUTTING THE FIRST CODE ON THEY'LL, LET IT LAY THREE DAYS OR SEALING, AND THEN THEY'LL COME BACK WITH THE OTHER PRIMES AND SEAL ON TOP OF THAT, THAT SHOULD ALL OF OUR RULE RUSTICS PANHANDLED DOWNING FARM COUGHING MEAL. 
          AND THAT FIRST SECTION OF ROCKY HOLLOW SHOULD BE COMPLETED THIS MONTH, NOT ON YOUR REPORT, BUT WE'RE ALSO FOR THE WINTER. 
          WE'RE GOING TO, UH, PUT TOGETHER A RESIDENCY PIPE REPLACEMENT CREW, AND THAT'S ALL THIS CREW WILL DO ALL WINTER IS GO FROM AREA HEADQUARTERS TO AREA ED QUARTERS, REPLACING PIPES THAT ARE IN NEED OF REPAIR AND, OR THEY HAVE RUSTED OUT AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED PERIOD. 
          SO I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT SCHEDULE YET, BUT WE LOOK FOR THEM TO START UP AROUND THE 1ST OF DECEMBER AND RUN THROUGH UNTIL SPRING COMES BACK AND WHETHER IT GETS RIGHT, AND THEN WE'LL PUT THE DITCHING CREW BACK IN PLACE. 
          ARE THERE ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO ADDRESS? I JUST HAVE ONE MR. CHAIRMAN, UH, THE, THE TURNING LANE AT, UH, FORT VALLEY ROAD AND RIGHT 55. 
          IS THERE ANY, ANY UPDATE ON WHEN THAT MAKES SENSE? NOT HAVING AN UPDATE ON THAT YOU ASKED THE LAST TIME AND SO FAR I HAVE NOT GOTTEN A RESPONSE BACK. 
          OKAY. 
          AND JUST LIKE, MAKE MENTION THAT THE ROADS ACT IN THE FOURTH DISTRICT, I THINK ARE A BETTER SHAPE NOW THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN A LONG TIME. 
          IT IS, THEY REALLY, REALLY DOING A NICE JOB OUT THERE. 
          WE APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          [00:15:03]
ANYONE ELSE? I'VE GOT, UM, ONE CON ONE CONCERN ON, UM, FAIRGROUND ROAD. 
          IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE STRIPING THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT LAST MONTH, IT HAD BEEN DONE, UM, ON HALF OF IT. 
          NOW, MAYBE I JUST MISSED IT WHEN I RUN MY ROADS, BUT, UM, HALF OF IT WAS DONE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE OTHER HALF ON FAIRGROUND ROAD. 
          WASN'T NOW, AGAIN, I'M ABOUT 10 DAYS SINCE I DROVE THAT ROAD. 
          AND IF I'M WRONG, I WILL APOLOGIZE OPENLY. 
          BUT, UH, IT APPEARED TO ME THAT PART OF IT WAS DONE, BUT NOT THE OTHER, THE OTHER HALF. 
          SO IF ANYBODY JUST RUNS THAT ROAD, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE WE NEED IT. 
          OKAY. 
          I WILL. 
          I'LL CHECK ON THAT. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT MR. CARTER, UH, BUT OTHERWISE, UH, I, I THINK THE WORK THAT YOU OR YOUR GROUP HASN'T BEEN DOING HAS BEEN TERRIFIC. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANKS. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CARTER. 
          MM. 
          UH, NEXT REPORT IS 
          [D. Report – Solid Waste/Recycling in Warren County – Mike Berry]
THE SOLID WASTE RECYCLING OF WARREN COUNTY. 
          MR. BARRY, YOU NEED ME TO COME UP OR AM I GOOD? CAN YOU HEAR ME HERE? I THINK THAT WE CAN HEAR YOU JUST TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN, BOARD MEMBERS, UM, AND YOUR PACK, YOU SHOULD HAVE A, UM, INTERNAL MSW TONNAGE TRIP ANALYSIS REPORT. 
          UM, AND THAT'S KINDA THE BASIS. 
          UM, FOR ME COMING THE DAY, I SHARED THAT WITH MR. DALEY RECENTLY JUST UPDATING HIM ON OUR FISCAL YEAR TONNAGE FOR 1920 AND UPDATING HIM BRIEFLY ON RECYCLING. 
          UM, THE REPORT, UM, ACTUALLY SHOWS SOME OF THE TRACKING THAT WE DO AT OUR TRANSFER STATION. 
          OUR SCALE HOUSE ATTENDANTS ARE VERY GOOD AT HELPING ME COLLECT DATA. 
          UM, WE USE THE DATA THEY COLLECT AND, UM, THE TONNAGES, WHICH, YOU KNOW, IF, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT REPORT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THEM. 
          BUT COUNTY TOWN THAT JUST, WE USE A STORE TEARS AND THEN PAIGE TONNAGES, ACTUAL TEARS WHEN WE GO TO THE LANDFILL. 
          SO THAT HELPS US JUST SEE WHERE WE'RE AT A LOT OF TRUCKS SWITCH IN AND OUT. 
          SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF SCRAP SEE THERE, BUT YOUR PAGE SIGNAGE IS YOUR ACTUAL WEIGHTS AS THEY GO TO THE LANDFILL. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT OUR TOTAL TRIPS FOR THE YEAR, UM, WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE ABOUT TRUCKING IN THE PAST, BUT, UM, WE SENT 1,825 TRAILER LOADS DOWN TO PAGE COUNTY, UM, IN FISCAL YEAR 1920, UM, AND OUR LOADER OPERATORS, ADDITIONALLY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB, UM, FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE TRIED TO DO IS, UH, LOAD THOSE TRUCKS. 
          UM, THE BEST WE CAN, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO, UM, SHARE THE NUMBERS WITH OUR OPERATORS AND INCREASE TWO TO THREE TONS PER LOAD. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, I EQUATE THAT TO SAVE ABOUT 120,000 $125,000 A YEAR. 
          SO, UM, JUST LIKE TO GIVE A THANKS TO ALL OF THE SOLID WASTE STAFF FOR THEIR HELP. 
          UM, FOR FOUR LAST YEAR, LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE LANDFILLED 30, 37033.88 TONS. 
          AND THIS IS AN INCREASE OF 3,410 TIMES FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. 
          SO WE HAVE SEEN A CONTINUING TO INCREASE, UM, OVER TIME, WHICH I THINK IS A SIGN THAT THE ECONOMY HAS IMPROVED. 
          UM, IN 1819, IT WAS 33,632 TIMES OVER FIVE YEARS. 
          WE'VE SEEN A TON OF INCREASE OF 6077.8 TIMES. 
          AND IN 10 YEARS WE'VE SEEN A TON OF INCREASE OF 8,069 TIMES. 
          SO WE, I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD SIGN FOR THE ECONOMY. 
          UM, WE HAVE SEEN SOME INCREASE AS COVID STARTED WITH, UM, HOUSEHOLD TRASH. 
          UM, SO, UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE TYPICALLY SEE IN THE SPRING, BUT A LITTLE BIT ADDITIONAL TRASH COMING IN BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE WERE HOME WHEN, WHEN THE NICE WEATHER POP, UM, ANY QUESTIONS AS FAR AS THE TONNAGE OR ANYTHING HAPPENING WITH, UH, THE LANDFILL THERE, IF NOT, I'LL, I'LL MENTION BRIEFLY THE RECYCLE REPORT. 
          UM, 2019, OUR RECYCLE REPORT IS DONE, UM, IN COORDINATION WITH THE REGIONAL COMMISSION, THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY, REGIONAL COMMISSION, THE ONE SHANNON VALLEY. 
          AND WE HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, AS A GROUP, THE SURROUNDING, UH, LOCALITIES, WE, WE, WE COME TOGETHER AND THE REGIONAL COMMISSION, UM, UM, DOES THE REPORT FOR US AND SINCE THE DEQ. 
          SO THESE NUMBERS ARE JUST WARREN COUNTY NUMBERS THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR REPORT. 
          OUR 2019 RECYCLED NUMBER WAS 35.9%. 
          OUR STATE MANDATE, WE'RE TRIED TO ACHIEVE 25% EACH YEAR. 
          AND WE DID HAVE A SLIGHT DECREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, 2018, OUR REPORT, WE HAD 46%. 
          UM, AND THOSE, THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT JUST OUR INTERNAL FIGURES. 
          THOSE INCLUDE THE BUSINESSES, UM, THROUGHOUT THE TOWN, THE COUNTY, THAT REPORT TO US THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE INDUSTRIAL WASTE. 
          IT'S JUST WASTE. 
          THAT WOULD GO TO A LANDFILL LANDFILL THAT HAS BEEN THE VERDICT. 
          UM, IN REGARDS TO OUR CONVENIENCE SITES THAT YOU PUT A LITTLE SAD NOTE THERE, THAT WE DID SEE AN INCREASE ON OUR CONVENIENCE SITES LAST YEAR, UH, 44 TIMES. 
          [00:20:01]
SO, UM, ON OUR SITES, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO SEE EVEN EVEN WITH, UM, SOME OF THE RECYCLING CHALLENGES IN THE MARKET TODAY, WE'VE CONTINUED TO SEE AN INCREASE IN, IN OUR RESONANCE RECYCLING. 
          THE ONLY, OTHER ONLY OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO MENTION TODAY WAS, UM, THIS MONTH. 
          AND I ACTUALLY HAD, UH, A QUESTION ABOUT BATTERIES IN THE LAST WEEK FROM MS COLORS, BUT WE HAVE OUR FALL, OUR ANNUAL FALL, RESIDENTIAL CLEANUP AND OUR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY. 
          IT'LL BE OCTOBER 31ST, UM, SATURDAY FROM 8:00 AM TO 2:00 PM AND WE'LL HAVE, UM, THREE LOCATIONS, LINDEN PARK AND RIDE THE WARREN COUNTY TRANSFER STATION AND SHADOW FARMS, VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT, OR FOLKS CAN TAKE THERE ANY, EITHER BULK WASTE, ET CETERA. 
          YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANT TO HAUL THERE AND CLEAN UP THEIR YARD, WE DO IT EACH YEAR AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HERE IN FRONT ROYAL COMPANY. 
          ONE, WE'LL HAVE OUR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE LOCATION. 
          AND THAT'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO BRING IN, YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVE OLD CHEMICALS IN THEIR HOME, UM, SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE THROWN IN A LANDFILL. 
          UM, A LOT OF TIMES WE GET CLEANERS OR, YOU KNOW, OLD TURPENTINE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          UM, BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. 
          IS THERE, IS THERE ANY PLAN FOR ANY, UH, MEDICATIONS, OLD MEDICATIONS? WE CANNOT TAKE THOSE AT OUR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY. 
          UM, TYPICALLY EACH YEAR, YOU'LL SEE VALLEY HEALTH DO A DRUG TAKE BACK DAY. 
          UM, WE'LL HAVE TO GO ONLINE. 
          THEY'RE USUALLY POSTED ONLINE AND IN THE NEWSPAPER. 
          I DON'T KNOW THE NEXT DATE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. 
          YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ONE MORE, ONE QUESTION. 
          YES, SIR. 
          AUTOMOTIVE TIRES. 
          ARE YOU GOING TO BE ACCEPTING AUTOMOTIVE EXCEPT UP TO 20 PASSENGER TIRES AT THE TRANSFER STATION ONLY FOR RESIDENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          FOR YOUR CHARGE THAT DAY. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION TO MR. BARRETT, SHREDDING, SHREDDING, SHREDDING. 
          YEAH. 
          IS THERE SHREDDING AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR PERSONAL DOCUMENTS AND THINGS THAT PEOPLE WANT TO SHRED? THE COUNTY DOES NOT PROVIDE? WE DON'T HAVE A SHREDDER DAY OURSELVES, BUT THEY'RE USUALLY OUR SHREDDER TRUCKS. 
          A LOT OF THE LOCAL BUSINESSES WILL HAVE A SHREDDER DAY. 
          UM, I I'D HAVE TO LOOK AND SEE IF WE COULD FIND IT FOR YOU. 
          I DON'T HAVE THAT DAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO HE HAD ASKED ME IF WE, YEAH, WE HAVE NOT HIT THAT, THAT TYPE OF, YEAH, WE HAVE NOT IN THE PAST. 
          UM, HOW'D, IT USUALLY YOU'LL SEE THAT KIND AT THE ROYAL KING SHOPPING CENTER OR SOMEWHERE LIKE THAT. 
          THEY'LL DO IT THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WHAT ABOUT, UM, DIABETIC SYRINGES AND THOSE SYRINGES THAT PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE, UM, USED EPI PENS AND THAT KIND OF THING. 
          DOES THAT FALL UNDER MEDICATION AS WELL IN THE HOSPITAL? DOES THAT YES. 
          THEY, THEY HAVE A COMMUNITY SHARPS PROGRAM AT, AT THE HOSPITAL. 
          UM, YOU CAN TAKE THOSE BACK YOURSELF. 
          UM, WE, WE DON'T WANT THOSE TO BE THROWN IN THE TRASH, UM, ANY KIND OF MEDICAL WASTE. 
          THAT'S ONE OF THE JOBS OUR OPERATORS DO EACH DAY IS TO SEARCH AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO MEDICAL WASTE IS IF WE HAVE SOMETHING HIT THE FLOOR, WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT TAKEN OUT AND SEGREGATE IT AND THEN HAVE SOMEONE SPECIALLY REMOVE IT. 
          JUST, UH, I DON'T KNOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE, BUT, UM, THAT'LL HELP AT THE HOSPITAL WARM MEMORIAL. 
          UH, THEY HAVE GOT A BOX THAT'S SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR SHRINKERS AND THEY WILL EVEN GIVE YOU A LITTLE, LITTLE BOX TO STORE YOUR SYRINGES IN RIGHT WHERE THAT, BUT THEN YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THEM SOMEPLACE AND THAT'S THE HARDEST YOU TAKE THEM BACK TO THEM, PUT THEM IN THEIR DISPOSAL BOX. 
          THEY'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER BOX TO FILL UP. 
          SO IT'S BEEN PRETTY GOOD. 
          IT WORKS FOR ME. 
          OKAY. 
          AND JUST TO CLARIFY, BECAUSE I MISSED IT LISTENING TO AND LOOKING AT THINGS, THE, UM, CHEMICALS AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, IS THAT THE SAME OCTOBER 31ST EIGHT YEARS. 
          YES. 
          MA'AM THE FRONT ROW FIRE DEPARTMENT JUST FOR OIL AND SAME HOURS, EIGHT TO TWO, THE TWO CLEAN HARBORS ENVIRONMENTAL WILL BE HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO PEOPLE SHOULD NOT TAKE THOSE UP TO THE DUMP THINKING THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE, AND YOU'RE GOING TO TRANSFER THEM. 
          THEY NEED TO TAKE THOSE THERE, YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE NORMALLY, EXCEPT THAT BENTONVILLE LIKE, UM, HE HAD LATEX PAINT. 
          UM, I'D RATHER YOU TAKE IT TO BENTONVILLE BECAUSE IT'S A LOT CHEAPER FOR US TO HANDLE THAN THE HAZARDOUS COMPANY. 
          UM, BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD NOT PUT IN A LANDFILL, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, OCCASIONALLY WE GET QUESTIONS ON QUANTITIES AND VOLUMES. 
          UM, TYPICALLY HOMEOWNERS DON'T HAVE DRUMS OF MATERIAL WITH THEIR HOMES, BUT OCCASIONALLY WE'LL GET A CALL. 
          UM, AND THERE CAN BE SOME FEDERAL RESTRICTIONS OF LIKE PILL, POOL CHEMICALS. 
          FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU HAVE A 55 GALLON DRUM, UM, YOU KNOW, IT, IT REQUIRES IT TO BE STORED. 
          YOU KNOW, WE PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UM, GUARD IT UNTIL IT MOVED OUT OF STATE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE MOVING OUT OF STATE. 
          SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, ANYTHING MAJOR, AND THIS IS FOR RESIDENTS ONLY, WE DON'T PAY FOR BUSINESSES. 
          WE DON'T TAKE THEIR MATERIALS. 
          [00:25:01]
THIS IS JUST FOR HOME HOMES, RESIDENTIAL, RESIDENTIAL, HAZARDOUS WASTE, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR MR. GARY? THANK YOU, MR. PARIS. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          NEXT REPORT IS FROM 
          [F. Report – Economic Development Authority – Doug Parsons]
THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ON MR. PARSONS. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TODAY. 
          UM, WANNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORT. 
          THAT'S COMING UP THIS WEEKEND. 
          WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, UM, A RETREAT ON OCTOBER THE NINTH AND 10TH ON FRIDAY EVENING. 
          AND MOST OF THE DAY ON SATURDAY, WE'VE INVITED STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE, INCLUDING, UM, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, THE VIRGINIA INLAND PORT, UH, THE TOWN OF FRONT ROYAL AND OTHERS. 
          AND OF COURSE OUR GOAL IS TO CRAFT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS. 
          AS WE LOOK TO WORK MORE WITH EXISTING BUSINESSES, ATTRACT NEW ONES AND ENHANCE THE LOCAL BUSINESS CLIMATE AS WELL. 
          SO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL BE, UM, A BIT OF A SWOT ANALYSIS, A 30,000 FOOT VIEW, AND JUST TRYING TO ESTABLISH A VISION AND A MISSION AND SOME GOALS FOR THE ORGANIZATION WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT PLAN, UM, AFTER THE WEEKEND GOING FORWARD AS WELL TO DEVELOP OUT ALL THE DETAILS. 
          SO IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR CONCERNS THAT YOU WANT TO EXPRESS TO US, PLEASE LET US KNOW. 
          AND WE'LL BE SURE TO INCORPORATE THAT IN THE PLAN. 
          UM, I KNOW I'VE SPOKEN WITH A COUPLE OF YOU ABOUT WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE IN LINE WITH THE COUNTY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND WE WOULD CERTAINLY WANT TO DO THAT. 
          SO PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANT US TO ADDRESS. 
          UM, FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, UH, BROWN EDWARD SAYS THEY EXPECT THE DRAFT F Y 18 AUDIT BY THE MIDDLE OF THIS MONTH. 
          UH, THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR BOTH THE 18 AND THE 19 FISCAL YEARS AND HOPE TO HAVE US A DRAFT BALANCE SHEET AND PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT VERY SOON. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON LEGAL EMPLOYEE AND MANAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRES. 
          UM, WE AS B EMPLOYEES HAVE FILLED OUT OURS AND GOT THEM BACK AND WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING TO GET OUR LITANY OF ATTORNEYS TO DO THE SAME AND GET THOSE BACK TO HIM AS WELL. 
          UM, ON OUR PROPERTIES, WE'VE, WE'VE COMPLETED THE MARKETING VIDEO FOR THE BALL DRIVE BUILDING. 
          UM, I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IT YET. 
          WE'VE, WE'VE SENT THE LINK OUT. 
          UM, I WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK BRIAN KELLY AT THE RANDOLPH MACON ACADEMY FOR HIS GREAT WORK ON THIS. 
          UH, WE'VE ALREADY USED IT WITH SEVERAL PROSPECTS AND IT'S, IT OFFERS A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THE OUTSIDE. 
          IT SHOWS THE LOCATION, UM, HOW NEAR WE ARE TO THE VIRGINIA INLAND PORT AND THE INTERSTATES. 
          AND THIS IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE, UM, CONSIDERING THE COVID CRISIS AND THE RETICENCE OF A LOT OF PROSPECTS TO DO IN-PERSON VISITS THESE DAYS. 
          SO WE THINK IT'S REALLY HELPED US IN THAT REGARD. 
          UM, ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS BRANDY ROSSER AND HER COLLEAGUES WITH THE GENERAL SERVICE SAYS DIVISION OF THE COUNTY. 
          THEY'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL WITH OUR PROPERTIES, ESPECIALLY OUT OF 400 KENDRICK LANE LATELY, AS WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES OUT THERE, THEY'VE ALSO HELPED US, UM, UP IN THE STEVENS INDUSTRIAL PARK WITH OUR BALL DRIVE BUILDING AND KEEPING OUR, OUR PROPERTIES UP THERE MAINTAINED AS WELL. 
          UM, SO MEAN RECENTLY WE, UH, WE DONATED SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT DOWN IN OUR BASEMENT THAT WAS GOING UNUSED, UH, TO THE COUNTY, AND WE HOPE THAT THEY CAN GET GOOD USE OUT OF THAT. 
          WE'VE ALSO SELECTED A PROOF FOR A PARTNERSHIP SIGN AT THE CDL TRAINING SCHOOL AND LORD FAIRFAX COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS WORKING ON CONSTRUCTING THESE TWO SIGNS, WHICH WILL JUST ILLUSTRATE THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE EDA AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. 
          UH, THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR, I BELIEVE FIVE YEARS NOW. 
          SO THAT'S BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM OUT THERE, AND OUR BOARD JUST WANTED TO GET A COUPLE OF SIGNS UP TO LET FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT AND IT'S A GOOD PARTNERSHIP, UH, ROYAL LANE, UH, WE'VE ISSUED A REQUEST FOR DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS FOR THE ROYAL LANE PROPERTY. 
          WE'RE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING PROPOSALS TO GIVE THE COMMUNITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS THAT WE FEEL ARE GREATLY NEEDED HERE IN FRONT ROYAL AND WARREN COUNTY. 
          UH, WE'VE HAD A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST IN THE PROJECT AND SEVERAL DEVELOPERS HAVE COME IN TO PURCHASE THAT'S A PLANS. 
          SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET A VERY, VERY GOOD RESPONSE TO THAT. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF VERY WELL QUALIFIED DEVELOPERS THAT HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST SO FAR. 
          PROSPECT ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO BE VERY BRISK. 
          WE'VE HAD MORE INTERESTED PARTIES IN THE BALL DRIVE BUILDING AND IN THE LAND AT BOTH STEVENS AND HAPPY CREEK. 
          UH, I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THREE NEW LEADS FROM THE STATE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE HERE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. 
          OF 
          [00:30:01]
COURSE, WE'VE RESPONDED TO THEM AND SUBMITTED THE PROPERTIES THAT, UH, THAT FIT THE CRITERIA. 
          AND, UM, AS ALWAYS, I'M GLAD TO DISCUSS THESE IN FURTHER DETAIL, UH, IN CLOSED SESSION, IF YOU WOULD WISH, UH, THE BUSINESS READY SITES PROGRAM, UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE GO VIRGINIA REGION EIGHT TO PURSUE GRANT FUNDING FOR THE DUE DILIGENCE WORK TO INCREASE OUR TIER RANKING. 
          UH, MUCH OF THAT WORK, UH, FOR THE PENDING REZONING APPLICATION WILL BOLSTER OUR CASE, UH, FOR THE GRANT, UH, TO COMPLETE THE REST OF THE NEEDED WORK. 
          AND AS I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, ONCE WE GET THE TIER THREE ON OUR PROPERTIES, WE SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY GO TO TIER FOUR AS THE PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, THE WATER SEWER, ELECTRIC GAS AND FIBER ARE ALREADY IN PLACE. 
          UM, UM, AT THE PROPERTIES COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS, WE FILMED TWO TESTIMONIALS FROM THE FOLKS AT THE VIRGINIA INLAND PORT AND AT INTERCHANGE THAT WE'LL FEATURE ON OUR NEW WEBSITE. 
          I WANT TO THANK LEE CRANFORD AT THE VIRGINIA INLAND PORT AND CHRIS THOMPSON AT INTERCHANGE FOR THEIR TIME AND EFFORT AND FILMING THESE TESTIMONIALS. 
          UH, WE FEEL THESE WILL BE STRONG MARKETING PIECES THAT PROSPECTS AND SITE SELECTION CONSULTANTS CAN SEE, UH, TO HEAR FIRSTHAND FROM EXISTING BUSINESSES. 
          WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DO BUSINESS IN FRONT ROYAL AND WARREN COUNTY. 
          AND I USUALLY CARRIES A LOT MORE WEIGHT THAN HEARING IT FROM, YOU KNOW, FRANKLY FOLKS LIKE ME OR, OR ANYONE ELSE. 
          UM, WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON GETTING DRONE FOOTAGE OF THE INLAND PORT, UH, FOR BOTH THE EDA AND THE PORT OFFICIALS TO USE IN, IN MARKETING AS WELL. 
          UH, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTED AT ITS LAST MEETING TO DONATE SOME SPACE AT THE EDA OFFICES FOR THE SALVATION ARMY'S ANGEL TREE NETWORK FOR THE STORAGE OF DONATED TOYS FOR CHILDREN THIS CHRISTMAS. 
          SO, UM, I THINK THEY'LL START USING THE SPACE NOVEMBER 1ST AND THEN THAT'LL RUN THROUGH, THROUGH AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME LEACH RUN PARKWAY. 
          UM, OUR ENGINEER, CARL SCHAFFER FROM PENNONI ENGINEERING IS WORKING ON THE NOTICE OF TERMINATION FOR THE PERMIT. 
          UH, JESSICA WRIGHT AT DQ HAS SAID THAT THINGS ARE GOOD TO GO OUT ON THE SITE. 
          THERE'S ENOUGH GRASS ESTABLISHED. 
          THERE'S NO MORE WORK TO BE DONE THERE. 
          NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THE ENGINEER GETTING THE PAPERWORK INTO THE DQ AND, AND HAVING THEM RUN IT THROUGH THEIR PROCESSES. 
          SO WE CAN FINALLY GET THAT DONE. 
          AND THEN WE'RE WORKING TO PROCESS THE FINAL CONTRACTORS INVOICE AS WELL. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT LONG LASTING PROJECT CLOSED OUT. 
          SO IS IT, IS THERE A TIMELINE THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF? WELL, WE NEED, WE NEED TO GET HOPPING ON IT PRETTY QUICK. 
          UM, UH, THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HAS SAID THEY WANT TO SEE THIS GET WRAPPED UP SOON. 
          UM, THEY'VE KIND OF PUT A LITTLE PRESSURE ON US, WHICH IS FINE, BUT WE'VE RESPONDED OUR ENGINEER'S RESPONDED TO V DOT AND WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME TIME, BUT THEY DO WANT TO SEE US GET THIS THING CRANKING. 
          SO WE'VE REACHED OUT TO THE TOWN AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO COOPERATE WITH US ON THE PROCESSING OF, OF THIS FINAL INVOICE OR AT LEAST SPEAK WITH US ABOUT IT. 
          SO I THINK WE'RE GOOD. 
          ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR MR. PARSONS, MR. PARSONS, YOUR, UM, RETREAT THIS WEEKEND IS VIRTUAL. 
          YES. 
          YES. 
          I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT IN MY BAND TO DIAL INTO THAT. 
          AND YOU SENT THAT TO US. 
          I'VE RECEIVED. 
          I BELIEVE I'VE RECEIVED. 
          ONE IS. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          IF ANYONE NEEDS THAT LINK, OBVIOUSLY WE'LL BE GLAD TO SEND THAT ALONG. 
          I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT. 
          YEAH, I SHOULD MENTIONED IT IS VIRTUAL. 
          RIGHT, RIGHT. 
          KEEP FORGETTING. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO BE A SQUARE ON A SCREEN, LIKE A BRADY BUNCH. 
          I THINK WE SHOULD ALL WEAR A MASK. 
          WE SHOULD, THERE THERE'S MODERATING THAT, UH, JIM WOLF, OUR NEWEST BOARD MEMBER, HE HAS QUITE A BIT OF EXPERIENCE WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING IN HIS ROLE AT GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY. 
          SO I'M GLAD TO HAVE HIM ON BOARD AS A BOARD MEMBER AND GLAD TO HAVE HIM STEPPING UP TO MODERATE THIS FOREST. 
          I THINK IT'S GOOD THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO COME UP WITH A STRATEGIC PLAN AND THAT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT IN AND OF ITSELF, BUT THAT'S JUST THE FIRST PHASE. 
          SECOND PHASE IS IMPLEMENTATION AND I'VE SEEN MANY STUDIES PLANS, CONSULTANTS, AND WE GO THROUGH THE PLAN AND THEN IT SITS ON THE SHELF. 
          AND IT'S NEVER SEEN AGAIN UNTIL FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING TO, I MEAN, I'M SURE THERE'S BEEN, I KNOW THERE'S BEEN ANOTHER STRATEGIC PLANS AND WHATEVER THE EDA, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WORTH HAVING AS A BASE AND LOOK AT IT OR SCRAP EVERYTHING ELSE AND THEN MOVE FORWARD. 
          BUT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO, LIKE I SAID, I KNOW IT WAS LIKE FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO. 
          THE TOWN HAD SOME CONSULTANT COME IN AND TALKING ABOUT TOURISM. 
          I'M NOT SURE IF ANYTHING REALLY CAME 
          [00:35:01]
OUT OF THAT OR NOT. 
          MAYBE IT DID, BUT AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, THE IMPLEMENTATION, THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PART. 
          IT IS. 
          I AGREE. 
          AND YOU KNOW, NOT TO GET INTO THE WEEDS, BUT LIKE ON THE MARKETING, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF, OF MONEY TO PUT INTO IT, BUT THERE ARE SOME LOW COST OPTIONS OUT THERE THROUGH A SITE SELECTORS GUILD AND THE VIRGINIA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP. 
          I THINK WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT WOULD BE VERY TARGETED, BUT ALSO VERY COST-EFFECTIVE AS WELL. 
          SO AS THIS PROCESS DEVELOPS, THAT'LL BE ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOK AT AS WELL AS THE TARGETED SECTORS. 
          WE WANT TO GO AFTER SPEAKING OF MARKETING, I SAW YOU JUST RELEASED YOUR NEW VDA LOGO. 
          YES. 
          I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS WHAT WAS THE COST OF THE OUTSIDE VENDOR ON THAT? UM, I DON'T HAVE THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY BRAIN, BUT I CAN GET THAT TO YOU. 
          YEAH, IT WAS, WE USED MIKE SHOTTON AT SHOTGUN DESIGNS, SO I'LL SEE WHAT THAT COST WAS AND GET BACK TO YOU. 
          THAT'S ALL YOU HAD, YOU MET WITH THE TOWN COUNCIL LAST NIGHT, TOO, I GUESS ABOUT REZONING. 
          SOME OF THAT PROPERTY. 
          I DIDN'T MEET WITH THEM LAST NIGHT. 
          UM, I WAS AT THE, THE TOWN OR FRONT ROYAL'S PLANNING AND ZONING, LAST PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING AND THEY APPROVED IT. 
          UM, I WAS UNAWARE THAT COUNCIL WAS CONSIDERING IT LAST NIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          I LOOKED AT HER LONG OLD AGENDA, BUT I THOUGHT IT SAID OCTOBER 5TH AND THEY HAD IT ON THEIR WORK SESSION AGENDA LAST NIGHT, BUT THAT'S, I THINK THE LAND IN HAPPY CREEK, ROUGHLY 150 ACRES, SOME OF IT IS ALREADY ZONED INDUSTRY, BUT A LOT OF, BUT A GOOD PORTION OF IT WAS WHAT AG. 
          YEAH, LET'S SEE. 
          SO THERE'S, THERE'S THREE PARCELS UP THERE TO 66 ACRE PARCEL IS ALREADY ZONED INDUSTRIAL, BUT THE 32 AND 49 ACRE PARCELS ARE CURRENTLY STONED RESIDENTIAL, I BELIEVE. 
          AND WE WANT TO GET THOSE FLIP TO INDUSTRIAL AND I KNOW THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT ACTION AND I'M, I'M UNAWARE OF WHAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE DONE LAST NIGHT. 
          YOU WANT TO JUST WORK SESSION, I THINK, BUT IT IT'D BE BRIEFED ON IT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, I WAS JUST LOOKING TO, UH, WEBSITE, HAS THAT BEEN UPDATED LATELY? WE ARE VERY CLOSE BEING ABLE TO GET OUR NEW WEBSITE UP. 
          WE JUST HAVE A COUPLE SECTIONS TO GO. 
          I WANT TO GET THOSE TESTIMONIALS, UM, BACK FROM, UH, BRIAN KELLY AND GET THOSE UP. 
          AND THEN I'VE GOT SOME TEXTS I NEED TO WORK ON TO GET THE THING UP AND GOING ALSO OUR PROPERTIES PAGE. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH CATHERINE SCOTT AND ALSO EMMA HERE IN G I S TO HAVE A, UM, A PROPERTIES PAGE THAT WILL THAT'LL BE VERY USER-FRIENDLY AND HAVE GOOD GRAPHICS AND INFORMATION ON EACH OF THE PROPERTIES. 
          THIS, I JUST NOTICE AS FAR AS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE STILL LISTENING TO MEMBERS ARE NO LONGER THERE. 
          AND I GUESS IF YOU GET, IF YOU'RE CLOSE TO GETTING IN YOUR WEBSITE, I GUESS IT DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO GO AHEAD AND UPDATE THE OLD ONE. 
          YEAH, WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE QUEEN TO TRY TO UPDATE OUR OLDHAM, BUT OUR OLD WEBSITE IS STARTING TO HAVE SOME, SOME FATAL FLAWS THAT IS GIVING THEM PROBLEMS AND ADMINISTERING AND UPDATING IT. 
          SO WE REALLY DO NEED TO GET OUR NEW SITE UP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THERE'S NO QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          EXTRA REPORTS 
          [G. Reports – Board Members, Interim County Administrator, Interim County Attorney]
FROM OUR BOARD. 
          UM, MR. FOX, WOULD YOU LIKE TO START US TODAY? UH, NOTHING. 
          NOTHING AT THIS TIME. 
          THANK YOU, MRS. COLLINS, AS FAR AS THE REPORT, I, I, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A REPORT. 
          IT'S MY FEELINGS ON, UH, WHAT I TOLD PEOPLE WHEN I DECIDED TO RUN FOR THIS POSITION AND HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT NON 10 MONTHS LATER, THAT BEING HERE ON THIS SIDE IS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM BEING ON THAT SIDE. 
          THE THINGS THAT I TOLD PEOPLE, I DON'T MAKE PROMISES, I CAN'T KEEP, BUT WHAT I FELT LIKE I COULD PROMISE WAS TO BE A GOOD LISTENER, TO BE HONEST, TO BE ACCOUNTABLE AND TO BE TRANSPARENT. 
          I'VE TRIED VERY HARD TO DO THAT. 
          UM, THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES I STILL SEE WHERE PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE GO INTO CLOSED SESSION. 
          UM, A LOT, THOSE ARE FOR REASONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL THERE FOR LEGAL REASONS THAT WE HAVE TO, AS SOON AS WE CAN TELL YOU WHAT WE DISCUSSED BACK THERE, WE DO. 
          IT'S NOT ALWAYS AS QUICK AS PEOPLE WOULD LIKE, BUT IT'S NOT WHERE WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BE TRANSPARENT. 
          IT'S WHERE 
          [00:40:01]
WE ARE TRYING TO DO THINGS THE LEGAL AND RIGHT WAY. 
          HAVING SAID THAT WE ARE ALSO SAID WE WOULD LISTEN AND WE DID THAT. 
          AND THEN WE FOUND THAT IT WAS BECOMING, UM, A CONFLICT OF TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE AND BE WITHIN TIME CONSTRAINTS. 
          AND THERE'S WHERE I'M CONFLICTED BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND WE CAN'T LET EVERYBODY COME UP AND STAND AND TALK FOR AN HOUR AT A TIME WHEN YOU HAVE A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE. 
          BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I HAVE A REAL ISSUE WITH THIS MACHINE THAT WE DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER TO BEGIN WITH. 
          I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK FUNCTION RIGHT. 
          AND CUTTING PEOPLE OFF AT THREE MINUTES AND TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT. 
          UM, BECAUSE WE CAN'T BE HERE ALL NIGHT AND ALL DAY, WE'VE DONE THAT ALMOST SEVERAL TIMES. 
          SO I WOULD LIKE, AND I'M NOT COMMITTING THE BOARD. 
          I'M COMMITTING MYSELF. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO BE HERE AT SIX O'CLOCK BEFORE EVENING MEETINGS. 
          AND YOU HAVE AN HOUR TO COME AND TALK. 
          NOW, IF THERE'S A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, WE STILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW ONE PERSON DOESN'T DOMINATE AN HOUR, BUT I'M WILLING TO BE HERE AN HOUR BEFORE TO LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY. 
          AND IF PEOPLE WANT TO COME AT EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING BEFORE NINE O'CLOCK MEETING, I'M WILLING TO DO THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, AND LIKE I SAID, IF ANY OF THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WANT TO BE HERE MORE THAN WELCOME, BUT I'M NOT COMMITTING ANYBODY BUT MYSELF, BECAUSE I AM SO CONFLICTED OVER THIS THREE AND CUTTING PEOPLE OFF, I, I CAN'T DO IT. 
          UM, SO THERE'S WHERE I AM. 
          AND I APOLOGIZE IF I'M PUTTING ANYBODY ON THE SPOT, BUT I HAVE TO BE TRUE TO MYSELF AND THE PEOPLE THAT PUT ME HERE. 
          THANK YOU, MR. PARK, EXCUSE ME. 
          YES. 
          WE'RE JUST GOING BACK AND FORTH. 
          I'LL BE THE LAST ONE TODAY. 
          UM, I THINK, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE, THE COUNCIL LAST NIGHT, UM, SIGNED A LETTER OF INTENT OR SOMETHING FOR THE REFINANCING OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND JUST DON'T LIKE TO OFFER THEM CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT. 
          MOVING FORWARD TO ME, THAT IS A TRUE SIGN OF GOOD FAITH GOODWILL. 
          UM, I THINK I MENTIONED THIS TO THE CHAIRMAN A WEEK OR TWO AGO. 
          THERE WAS A PRESS RELEASE, UM, GIVEN BY THE COUNTY AND THEIR RESPONSE TO THE TOWN, UH, PRESS CONFERENCE. 
          AND I THINK IT WAS DATED SEPTEMBER 24TH. 
          MS. SHIRAKI, UH, I THINK HAD EMAILED IT OUT THE 25TH. 
          UM, I DID NOT SEE IT BEFORE IT WENT OUT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF MR. FOX SAW BEFORE IT WENT OUT. 
          HE DIDN'T EITHER. 
          HE JUST SEEMS LIKE TO ME, IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A PRESS RELEASE FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, ALL MEMBERS SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE IT BEFORE IT GOES OUT AND HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO, TO, TO, UM, COMMENT ON IT. 
          AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT OCCURRED AND I HOPE IT WON'T HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE WHO WROTE THE, UH, THE PRESS RELEASE OR CONTRIBUTED TO IT. 
          IT WAS A COMBINATION OF, UM, MRS. COLORS, UM, AND, UM, MR. BROWN AND MS. OATS AND MR. BROWN FROM ADL. 
          AND IT SEEMED LIKE TO ME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE, UH, APPROPRIATE IF EDA HAD OF, UH, ISSUED YOUR OWN PRESS RELEASE, AS OPPOSED TO HAVING THE VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE EDA KIND OF HELP SAY WHAT THE COUNTY THINKS. 
          I DON'T THINK THAT HAS A GOOD GRAPHICS OR OPTICS, OPTICS, JUST MY THOUGHTS. 
          I MEAN, I KNOW HE'S A WORDSMITH AND STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE TO ME, IF THERE'S A PRESS RELEASE COMING FROM THE COUNTY, IT SHOULD COME FROM THE COUNTY AS, UM, WE DISCUSSED THAT ON THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE PRESS RELEASE CAME OUT. 
          UM, I MADE A COMMITMENT THAT, UH, A PRESS RELEASE LAW LIKE THAT AND GO TO EVERYBODY BEFORE IT WENT OUT. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT JAZZ AT THAT TIME. 
          THANK YOU, MRS. OATES. 
          I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT VOTING IS IN FULL SWING AT 15TH STREET, UH, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMPLEX. 
          UM, I'M ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT THIS YEAR BECAUSE MY SON WHO JUST TURNED 18 VOTED IN HIS VERY FIRST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. 
          HE DID IT IN PERSON. 
          HE CAME BACK FROM, UM, MISSISSIPPI FOR OTHER REASONS, BUT HE DECIDED TO GO VOTE IN PERSON. 
          AND HE SAID IT WAS EASY. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT W HE WAS IN AND OUT IN VERY SHORT TIMEFRAME. 
          SO IF YOU'RE CONTEMPLATING WHETHER OR NOT TO GO EARLY, UM, YOU CERTAINLY CAN GO EARLY AND IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE SIMPLER THAN STANDING IN LINE ON ELECTION DAY. 
          SO, UH, SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GO OUT THERE AND, 
          [00:45:01]
YOU KNOW, GET IT DONE. 
          UM, THERE'S THERE. 
          WHAT DO WE HAVE? 30, 30 DAYS EXACTLY. 
          RIGHT. 
          TILL, WELL, IT MAY BE A LITTLE LESS, BUT ANYWAY, SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE THIS MORNING, BUT PLEASE GO VOTE. 
          YOU CAN VOTE IN 30 DAYS, BUT YOU MIGHT MISS IT. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, OVER THE LAST TWO OR THREE WEEKS, I'VE VISITED, UM, PROSPECT HILL CEMETERY. 
          UM, I'VE TALKED WITH, UM, MR. PARSONS WITH THE ADA. 
          I'VE HAD DSS MEETINGS. 
          I WAS ON THE DSS INTERVIEW PANEL FOR ONE OF THEIR POSITIONS THAT WERE FILLING, UH, HAD POLICE MEETINGS ABOUT UPCOMING EVENTS. 
          AND THOSE ARE, WERE FOR AWARENESS ONLY. 
          I HAD MY REGULAR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT MEETINGS, WHICH WE HAVE EVERY THURSDAY, UM, ADDITIONAL EDA MEETINGS THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE ABOUT OTHER THINGS, UH, CITIZENS MEETINGS. 
          UH, I, I VISITED EIGHT PEOPLE OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS. 
          UH, I HAVE, UM, VISITED THE GOVERNMENT CENTER ON MANY OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST THREE WEEKS. 
          I PEER EVERY DAY, MAYBE NOT ALL DAY LONG, MAYBE AN HOUR, MAYBE, MAYBE TWO, BUT I'M HERE EVERY DAY TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP. 
          UM, I MEET WITH MR. UM, DAILY EVERY DAY PRACTICALLY, AND WE DISCUSS ANY THINGS THAT'S COMING UP OR ANYTHING THAT COULD, UM, KEEP US INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE, AS A BOARD LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN, EACH ONE OF US HAS A PARTICULAR SKILL. 
          AND WHEN ONE OF US TALKED, ONE OF US TALKS TO SOMEBODY. 
          WE TYPICALLY TALK TO EACH OTHER AND LET US KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          SO WE'RE NOT ALWAYS IN THE DARK. 
          UM, IT'S A GOOD BOARD. 
          AND, UH, AS THE, OUR COMMUNITY IS LOOKING AT US, THEY REALIZE THAT, UH, SOME OF THE COMMITMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE, UM, ARE ACTUALLY COMING TO FRUITION. 
          WE'VE MADE SOME CHANGES. 
          THERE'LL BE PLENTY MORE TO COME. 
          SO JUST, UM, UM, PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH US AND WE WILL GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER. 
          UH, WE WE'RE IN THIS FOR THE LONG HAUL AND, UH, THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE TODAY. 
          NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES. 
          THE ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT. 
          I'M SORRY, THE ADMINISTRATOR, UH, DEPUTY INTERIM COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR. 
          MR. DALEY. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, UH, LIEUTENANT FARREL, WE'LL BE TALKING TO YOU SHORTLY, BUT I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT IN THE PUBLIC, THAT PHASE TWO OF THE CARES ACT FUNDING FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WILL BEGIN NEXT WEEK AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE RIVERMONT FIRE STATIONS, NEARING COMPLETION, WE'LL BE SCHEDULING AN OPEN HOUSE, UH, EITHER LATER THIS MONTH OR EARLY NOVEMBER, AND ANTICIPATE THAT THERE'LL BE SOME TYPE OF A OPEN HOUSE EVENT. 
          NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT AT THE AIRPORT ON THE SAME DAY, SO THAT PEOPLE CAN GO BACK AND FORTH. 
          YOU HAVE A DRAFT SCHEDULE EMPHASIS ON THE WORD DRAFT FOR THE FISCAL 2022 BUDGET, AND WOULD LIKE TO YOU TO LOOK OVER THIS THIS NEXT WEEK. 
          AND IT WILL BE THERE FOR US TO DISCUSS NEXT WEEK IN THE WORK SESSION IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH IT. 
          UH, THERE'S NOTHING HERE THAT IS IN STONE. 
          YOU TAKE IT ANY WAY THAT YOU WANT TO MOVE THINGS AROUND OR WHATEVER, AS PART OF THAT, UM, KIND OF AS A PRESS PRELUDE, OUR DEPARTMENTS WILL BE MAKING PRESENTATIONS TO YOU AND WE'LL START WITH PUBLIC WORKS. 
          UH, THEY'RE MY FAVORITE GUINEA PIG. 
          SO THEY WILL COME IN TO DO A PRESENTATION ALONG WITH GENERAL SERVICES AT THE WORK SESSION NEXT WEEK. 
          AND THEY WILL BE TALKING ABOUT NUMBER ONE, WHAT THEY DO, BUT ALSO WHAT THEIR BUDGET IS AND HOW THEY ARE ORGANIZATION. 
          WHAT'S THE ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THAT AND WHAT THEY FEEL THEIR PRIMARY NEEDS ARE THAT NEED TO BE AWARE OF LOOKING FOR NEXT WEEK. 
          AND THAT TIES IN. 
          WE'VE HAD THE QUESTION OF AN ADVANCE FOR THE BOARD TO SIT DOWN AND SET THEIR PRIORITIES, AND WE NEED A DATE. 
          UM, ONE DAY I WOULD THROW OUT THERE IS THE 
          [00:50:01]
27TH OF OCTOBER. 
          UM, AS A POSSIBILITY, THAT'S A FREE, I KNOW WE WANT TO KEEP THESE TO 30 TUESDAYS AND THAT'S A FREE TUESDAY, AND WE COULD DO IT AT THAT, THAT DATE, IF THAT WORKED FOR YOU. 
          AND WE COULD DO IT DURING THE DAY, OR WE COULD DO IT AT THE EVENING WHEN YOU DECIDED YOU WANTED TO DO IT, UH, WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THE SANITARY DISTRICTS AND THE POS THIS AFTERNOON, NOT MRS. JORDAN AND MR. BARRIER, KIND OF TALK ABOUT THE FRAMEWORK OF WHAT THEY ARE, AND THEN WE WILL NEED TO SCHEDULE A SESSION FOR, UM, SHANANDOAH FARMS, JUST TO TALK ABOUT THAT SPECIFIC AFTER EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THE FRAMEWORK OF WHAT THEY ARE. 
          AND ONE IDEA IS A 6:00 PM WORK SESSION, PERHAPS ON THE 20TH, PERHAPS ANOTHER DATE OR A WORK SET, SEPARATE WORK SESSION ON THE 27TH, THE, UH, 6:00 PM. 
          THE ONLY CONCERN IS, UM, WE MAY BE DOING SOME OTHER THINGS THERE, AND I'M NOT SURE YOU CAN WANT TO LIMIT THAT. 
          SO THAT MAY NEED TO BE ON THE 27TH, UM, REMIND YOU OF THE, UH, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO BE DOING WITH THE RAILROAD TASK FORCE AND THAT YOU NEED TO APPOINT MEMBERS TO THE BROADBAND COMMITTEE, THE, UH, TOURISM PROPOSAL EVALUATION COMMITTEE WILL BE MEETING TO REVIEW SCORES THIS FRIDAY. 
          AND CAITLIN HAS BEEN WORKING WITH PLANNING ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND BOARD REPRESENTATIVES OF A NEW TOURISM AGREEMENT WITH THE TOWN REFERENCED TO THE, THE IDEA OF BOARD MEMBERS BEING AVAILABLE AT 6:00 PM TO MEET WITH THE PUBLIC. 
          UM, WE KNOW WE NEED TO KNOW WHEN TO START THAT CAUSE WE'LL PUT OUT A NOTICE SO THAT IF MORE THAN TWO COME, YOU'RE NOT DOING BOARD ACTIVITY, BUT YOU'RE THERE AND IT'S COVERED AS A OPEN SESSION. 
          UH, WE JUST NEED TO KNOW IF WE WANT TO START NEXT WEEK WITH THE WORK SESSION OR THE 20TH WHEN YOU WANT TO DO THAT. 
          UM, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, SIR, MR. DALEY AND MR. CHAIRMAN, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE NOT DO WORK SESSIONS WHERE WE HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS. 
          IT JUST MAKES IT A VERY, VERY LONG EVENING. 
          SO YEAH, THIS IS THE SIX O'CLOCK SESSION FOR, UH, WHAT MRS. COLLARS WAS TALKING ABOUT IN ADVANCE OF IT. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU GUYS, AREN'T TALKING ABOUT DOING A WORK SESSION IN ADVANCE OF THE SEVEN O'CLOCK MEETING. 
          WELL, I MISUNDERSTOOD. 
          YEAH, BUT I THOUGHT THE IDEA OF DOING NEAR CLOSED SESSION AT THAT MEETING AT 6:00 PM DID HELP YOUR SCHEDULE BECAUSE THEN YOU WEREN'T HERE TILL 11 O'CLOCK. 
          SO KEEP THAT IN MIND, MR. DAVIS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OUR INTERIM COUNTY ATTORNEY, MR. HAM. 
          UH, THE NOTICE MENTIONED BY MR. IS THREE WORKING DAYS. 
          SO THE WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS DON'T COUNT. 
          UM, OTHERWISE I HAVE NO REPORT. 
          THANK YOU, MR. HAN, BOTTOM 
          [H. Approval of Minutes]

          HI, MISS COLORS. 
          HI, MR. CHAIRMAN, MISS OATS. 
          HI, MR. CARTER. 
          YES. 
           NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA 
          [I. Consent Agenda]
IS, IS THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE 
          [00:55:01]
PULLED FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION? I ASK A POINT OF CLARIFICATION PLEASE, BECAUSE I WAS CONFUSED WHEN WE ADOPTED THE AGENDA. 
          WAS THERE ANYTHING ADDED TO THE CONSENT AGENDA TO OKAY. 
          CAUSE IT WAS DIFFICULT, CAUSE I GUESS IT WAS DIFFICULT TO HEAR MR. FOX AND GOING BACK AND FORTH. 
          SO YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. 
          IS THERE A MOTION I MOVE, WE ADOPT THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED SAT IN ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS. 
          YOU GOT A ROLL CALL OF LICENSE, MA PLEASE. 
          MR. SHAHRAKI. 
          MR. CARTER, MS. OATS, MR. CHAIRMAN, MS. COLORS, MR. FOX, AYE. 
          MOTION CARRIES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT ON OUR AGENDA 
          [J. Authorization to Accept 2019 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant Award – Brandy Rosser/Gerry Maiatico]
IS THE AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT 2019 STAFFING AND ADEQUATE FIRE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE. 
          THE SAFER GRANT AWARD, UM, IS BRANDY HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          JERRY IS THANK YOU, JERRY. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD COUNTY STAFF. 
          IT'S ONCE AGAIN, OUR PLEASURE TO BE BEFORE YOU TODAY WITH, UH, ANOTHER GREAT GRANT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNTY OF WARREN IN THE DEPARTMENT OF FIRE RESCUE SERVICES ON MAY 5TH, 2020, THE WARREN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AUTHORIZED THE WARREN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES TO APPLY FOR THE FEMA SAFER GRANT FOR A TOTAL OF SIX POSITIONS. 
          UM, ON SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2020, THE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED THAT WE WERE AWARDED 1 MILLION, $216,724 AND 4 CENTS IN GRANT AWARD FROM, UH, THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY SAFER PROGRAM. 
          UH, THAT AWARD IS FOR SIX TOTAL POSITIONS AT NO COST MATCHED TO THE COUNTY. 
          SO IT IS A HUNDRED PERCENT FUNDING FOR THE SIX POSITIONS FOR THREE TOTAL YEARS. 
          AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE GRANT PROCESS, THE COUNTY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, UH, THOSE POSITIONS AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $405,574 AND 68 CENTS PER YEAR. 
          SO THAT'LL GIVE US AN ROUGHLY A THREE-YEAR TIMEFRAME, UH, TO PLAN FOR THE ABSORPTION OF THAT COST. 
          THESE SIX POSITIONS WILL BE EARMARKED FOR A RIVERMONT FIRE STATION UPON ITS COMPLETION AND OPENING TO INCREASE OUR DAILY STAFFING LEVELS TO 12 UNIFORM FIREFIGHTER POSITIONS, STAFFING, UH, SIX FIRE STATIONS. 
          UH, WITH THAT I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. 
          I THINK IT WAS A GOOD THING. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE MS. UM, ROSTERS EFFORTS ON THAT. 
          AND I THINK HE, WHEN WE GOT, I GUESS, THE ICING ON THE CAKE, CAUSE I THINK ORIGINALLY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HAVING TO PAY A CERTAIN MATCH AND NOW WE NO LONGER HAVE TO DO THAT. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          SO THE TYPICAL STRUCTURE IS THEMA AWARDS, THE GRANT AND THE COUNTIES COST MATCHES 25%. 
          THE FIRST YEAR, 25%, THE SECOND YEAR, 75%, THE THIRD YEAR, ALL OF THAT'S BEEN WAIVED. 
          IT'S A HUNDRED PERCENT MATCH FOR THAT OR A HUNDRED PERCENT GRANT FOR THAT. 
          THREE-YEAR I MEAN, THAT'S A GOOD THING. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, I KNOW WHETHER IT'S LAW ENFORCEMENT OR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE GRANTS ARE GOOD AND, AND IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE FREE MONEY. 
          BUT LIKE YOU SAID, AT THE END OF THE THREE-YEAR PERIOD, THE TOTAL COST, I DON'T MEAN TO REITERATE WHAT YOU ALREADY SAID, BUT JUST, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO STRESS THAT AT THE END OF THE THREE YEARS, WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TOTAL AMOUNT AND PROBABLY PROBABLY THE FOUR 66, 466,000 MAY ACTUALLY BE MORE WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT POSSIBLE PAY RAISES COSTS, COSTS OF INSURANCE GOING UP AND THOSE THINGS. 
          SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. 
          I THINK 466,000 IS ROUGHLY A LITTLE MORE THAN 1 CENT, YOU KNOW, UH, PER TAX REVENUE, BUT THIS GIVES US THREE YEARS TO PLAN. 
          UH, SO IT DOESN'T HIT A FUTURE BOARD ALL AT ONCE. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S ANYTHING TO KEEP IN MIND FOR THE UPCOMING BUDGET DELIBERATIONS TO START SQUIRRELING AWAY A LITTLE BIT NOW AND A LITTLE BIT THEN, AND MAKE A LOT EASIER TO HAVE MORE OF A SOFT LANDING WHEN IT DOES COME TIME FOR US TO PAY. 
          WE WERE THINKING SORT OF THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT 150 ESCROW TO THE FIRST YEAR AND 300 THE SECOND. 
          AND THEN WHEN THE THIRD THAT'S GOING TO BE UPRIGHT, AS YOU POINT OUT, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT FOUR 50, MAYBE MORE WHEN, INCLUDING THE ESCALATIONS THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          WHEN YOU SAY ESCROW THOUGH, I MEAN, IT'S NOT A MATTER OF JUST PUTTING THE MONEY ASIDE BECAUSE THAT'D BE A ONE-TIME THING, BUT AS FAR AS BUILDING IT INTO THE ONGOING EXPENDITURE, DESIGNATING 
          [01:00:01]
AS SHOWING IT AS AN ACTUAL EXPENDITURE, BUT USING IT FOR AN EXPENDITURE THAT'S NOT REPEATED. 
          SO THAT IT'S CLEAR THAT IN THREE YEARS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY AVAILABLE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND IT WON'T BE COMMITTED TO ANYTHING ELSE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOPE. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD WORK. 
          WE APPRECIATE YOU. 
          ALL SUPPORTERS ALWAYS HAVE WINE IF YOU WILL. 
          MR. SHANNON. 
          YES, SIR. 
          AFTER ALL THIS IS OVER WITH IT AT THE END OF THE TIME THAT THE ASSISTANCE, WHAT WA WHAT WOULD IT COST THE COUNTY AND TAX INCREASE TO CONTINUE FUNDING FULL-TIME FIREFIGHTERS? I THINK HERE'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID. 
          OKAY. 
          I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, IT'D BE ROUGHLY 1 CENT IF WE HAD TO DO IT TODAY, BUT AS DR. 
          DALEY SAID, WE'RE GOING TO PLAN FOR IT AND SET ASIDE FUNDS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS TO START, UH, UH, ADDRESSING THAT WHEN THE TOTAL AMOUNT FALLS TO THE COUNTY. 
          OKAY. 
          MR. MATTA CODE. 
          MY CONCERN IS, HAVE YOU ALREADY STARTED TO TRY TO HIRE THESE FOLKS? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IF WE'RE OPENING AT THE END OF THE MONTH, WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR THE RECRUITMENT AND THE TRAINING AND ALL THE THINGS, THAT'S A LONG PROCESS. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO, WE HAVE, UM, MATTER OF FACT, THE DAY WE GOT THE GRANT AWARD, WE WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED OUT A HIRING FOR PART-TIME POSITIONS AND ANTICIPATED FULL-TIME POSITIONS, UH, WITH THE ANTICIPATION THAT THIS BOARD WOULD APPROVE THE GRANT. 
          UH, SO THAT PROCESS HAS ALREADY BEGUN, UM, IN THE EVENT THAT THE GRANT'S NOT W UH, APPROVED BY THIS BODY, WE STILL HAVE A NEED TO HIRE PART-TIME POSITIONS. 
          SO WE HAVE A TESTING DATE SCHEDULED. 
          WE HAVE, UH, INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED. 
          WE HAVE OUR NORMAL HIRING PROCESS SCHEDULED. 
          IT'S JUST A MATTER OF DO WE HIRE THEM FOR PART-TIME POSITIONS OR FULL-TIME POSITION? SO THAT PROCESS HAS STARTED, UM, THAT'S A SAFER GRANT REQUIRED THAT YOU HIRE THEM FOR FULL-TIME YES, THE SAFER, THE SAFER GRANT IS FOR FULL-TIME POSITIONS. 
          SO THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD HAVE TO DO IS IN THEORY, ONCE WE ACCEPT THE AWARD. 
          SO IF YOU APPROVE THE AWARD, WE GO INTO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, ACCEPT THE AWARD. 
          OUR CLOCK STARTS, WE HAVE 180 DAY HIRE PERIOD. 
          WE WILL BE WELL UNDERNEATH OF THAT. 
          SO WE HAVE TO GO IN AND DO A, A DENTAL TO THE GRANT, ASK FOR THE FUNDS TO BE RELEASED EARLY BASED OFF OF OUR SCHEDULE, UM, WHICH IS COMPLETELY APPROVABLE. 
          WE JUST HAVE TO GO INTO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND LET THEM KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HIRE WELL BEFORE THE 180 DAY PERIOD. 
          UM, THAT FEMA GIVES YOU, DO YOU HAVE A POOL OF APPLICANTS ALREADY? WE DO. 
          UH, SO WE HAVE INVITED 15 APPLICANTS TO THE TESTING. 
          WE STILL HAVE APPLICATIONS COMING IN THAT WILL, UH, GO THROUGH THAT. 
          IN ADDITION TO CHIEF, MAYBE HAS ALWAYS ATTEMPTED TO OFFER FULL-TIME POSITIONS TO PART-TIME STAFF. 
          SO WE HAVE A COMPLIMENT OF PART-TIME STAFF THAT ARE INTERESTED IN GOING FULL-TIME. 
          UH, SO WE HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF DOING THAT, BUT THEN WE HAVE TO HIRE PART-TIME STAFF TO REPLACE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR ORGANIZATION. 
          AND THE, AND THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION. 
          CAUSE I THOUGHT YOU HAD A POOL THAT WERE WAITING FOR FULL-TIME POSITIONS TO OPEN SO THEY COULD SLIDE IN THAT'S CORRECT. 
          SO, YEAH, SO WE HAVE A CHIEF MAYBE ASK THEM FOR A LETTER OF INTENT TO GO FULL TIME. 
          UH, WE CONSIDER THAT UP, UH, JUST A, A LATERAL TRANSFER WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. 
          UM, SO WE, I THINK WE HAVE RECEIVED A, UH, A FAIR AMOUNT, ALMOST HALF OF THE POSITIONS TO GO TO THAT FULL-TIME VACANCY. 
          SO THEY'LL GO THROUGH A REVIEW PROCESS, WORK HISTORY, STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT WE WOULD CONSIDER THEM ELIGIBLE FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          JUST FOR CLARIFICATION SO THAT WHEN YOU SEE IT, THE DEPARTMENT IS ADVERTISING AND RECRUITING FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME SIMULTANEOUS, AND THE FULL-TIME WE'LL GO INTO THE SAFER GRANT AND THE PART-TIME WILL EITHER BE REPLACED PEOPLE WHO MOVED INTO THE SAFER GRANT OR THE ADDITIONAL PART-TIMERS THAT WE ALREADY NEED. 
          AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE BOTH THERE. 
          WELL, I WILL MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AUTHORIZED THE GENERAL SERVICES DIRECTOR TO ACCEPT ON BEHALF OF THE WARREN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES, THE 2019 STAFFING FOR ADEQUATE FIRE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE, THE SAFER GRANT AWARD IN THE AMOUNT OF 1.2 MILLION, $16,724 AND 4 CENTS FOR THE SALARY AND BENEFITS OF SIX NEW FULL-TIME FIREFIGHTER POSITIONS FOR A PERIOD OF 36 MONTHS. 
          IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, ANY 
          [01:05:01]
ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? THIS IS YOUR ROCKY. 
          COULD WE GET A ROLL CALL PLEASE? MR. FOX. 
          HI, MS. COLORS. 
          HI, MR. CHAIRMAN, MS. OATS, MR. CARTER. 
          YES. 
          SO, UM, AND APPROVED. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, LADIES. 
          NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA 
          [K. Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) Expenditures Update – Rick Farrall]
IS THE CORONA VIRUS FUND. 
          UH, THE EXPENDITURE UPDATE, MR. FARRELL. 
          OKAY, GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. 
          IT'S A GOOD DAY. 
          WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY DONE WITH THIS. 
          SO WE'RE GETTING THERE, UH, QUICKLY. 
          I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GO THROUGH YOUR PACKAGE WITH YOU. 
          SO I MAKE SURE THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THINGS THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          WE DON'T SHARE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF US. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, SO DID, UM, ITEM K K, NOT IN MIND. 
          SO I HAD SENT ADAM K OUT AN EMAIL ON FRIDAY AND IN MY EMAIL, I HAD INDICATED THAT THE PACKET WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN YOUR MAILBOX MONDAY MORNING. 
          AND IT WAS, BUT I'M GOING TO GO GRAB IT BECAUSE I THINK IT MIGHT STILL BE IN SOME OF YOUR MAILBOXES. 
          SO IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL OF THEM, SORRY SHE'S GOT, SHE'S GOT THEM. 
          WE JUST DIDN'T PICK THEM UP. 
          IT'S ON US, MR. FARROW, WOULD YOU GIVE US LIKE FIVE MINUTES SO SHE CAN DO SURE. 
          IF I COULD, I COULD GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE TOWN, WHICH IS NOT IN YOUR PACKAGE RIGHT NOW, IF THAT'S OKAY. 
          SURE. 
          SO FOR THE TOWN SPENDING FOR ROUND ONE, WE HAVE REIMBURSED THE TOWN THREE CHECKS, TOTALING $942,500. 
          ALL OF THAT MONEY HAS BEEN PROPERLY ACCOUNTED FOR EITHER MR. CARTER OR MS. COLORS HAS REVIEWED THE FILES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT 942 FI IN $500. 
          AND WE'VE PUT THOSE TO THE SIDE OF THE REMAINING BALANCE. 
          UH, WE OWE THE TOWN $334,058 FOR THE REMAINDER OF ROUND ONE. 
          UH, THE TOWN'S INTENT IS, UH, ORIGINALLY THEY WERE GOING TO USE IT ON, UH, OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESS. 
          HOWEVER, UH, THEY'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ROLL THAT ENTIRE THREE 34 INTO SMALL BUSINESS. 
          SO THE TOWN CAME UP WITH A PLAN, UH, WITH THE CHAMBER IN THEIR CARES APP COMMITTEE TO REDISTRIBUTE ANOTHER 334,000 TO THE ORIGINAL APPLICANTS FROM ROUND ONE. 
          SO WHEN MS. FOSTER GETS OFF OF VACATION NEXT WEEK, UH, THEY WILL BEGIN CUTTING CHECKS, UH, FOR AN ADDITIONAL 334,000 AND CHANGE TO SMALL BUSINESS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THAT, THEIR ENTIRE ALLOCATION OF THE A $1,276,558 FROM ROUND ONE WILL ALL GO TOWARDS SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS. 
          AND WE WILL CLOSE OUT SMALL BUSINESS WITH THE TOWN. 
          UH, LAST WEEK, UH, ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, WE DID RECEIVE THE TOWN'S PROPOSAL FOR ROUND TWO. 
          UH, IT APPEARS TO BE, UH, MORE THAN SATISFACTORY. 
          UH, THEY PLAN ON SPENDING THEIR ROUND MONEY ON SMALL BUSINESS, UH, ON PAYROLL, PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL, AND A, A LITTLE BIT TO ASSIST THE CHAMBER, UH, FOR MANAGING THEIR FUND ALL CATEGORIES THAT WE OURSELVES HAVE EITHER SPENT MONEY ON OURSELVES OR ARE GOING TO FOR THE CARES ACT. 
          SO AT THE CONCLUSION, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE NUMBERS, UH, IN A LITTLE BIT, BUT AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS BRIEFING, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE THINK GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE TOWN'S PLAN AND THEY CAN GET SPENDING, UH, THEIR ROUND TWO MONEY OR THEIR ROUND TWO ALLOCATION. 
          SO, UH, TO COMPARE BETWEEN THE TOWN AND THE COUNTY, JUST SO YOU KNOW, IN CATEGORIES, WHEN YOU COMBINED ROUND ONE AND ROUND TWO, IT IS VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT WE ARE ALMOST SPOT ON SPENDING THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THE SAME THINGS. 
          SO IF THE TOWN EXECUTES, UH, AS THEY'VE TOLD US IN ROUND TWO, WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, THEY WILL HAVE SPENT ABOUT 51% OF THEIR ALLOCATION ON SMALL BUSINESS. 
          IF WE EXECUTE AS PLANNED, WE WILL HAVE SPENT 50% ON SMALL BUSINESS, VERY CLOSE, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL. 
          THE TOWN PLANS ON SPENDING 42%, WE WOULD BE AT 43% HAZARD PAY FOR THE TOWN WOULD BE 5%. 
          WE WOULD BE 5%. 
          AND THE FINAL 2% ON THE TOWN SIDE, WE GO TO THE CHAMBER. 
          OUR FINAL 2% WOULD GO TOWARDS THE INDIVIDUAL UTILITY ASSISTANCE. 
          SO WE'RE VERY CLOSE TOGETHER IN OUR SPENDING PLANS. 
          SO DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON, UH, THE TOWN ROUND ONE OR ROUND TWO? OKAY. 
          FOR THE COUNTY, 
          [01:10:01]
UH, WE CONCLUDED OUR FIRST ROUND. 
          AND AS YOU LOOK AT THE AGENDA SHEET, UH, WE TRIED TO, UH, PACKAGE THIS SO THAT WHICH YOU'RE LOOKING AT IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW, OUR TOTALS FROM ROUND ONE AND ROUND TWO. 
          SO WHEN YOU SEE THAT A COMBINED TOTAL OF $4.5 MILLION ON THE SECOND LINE, THAT IS OUR TOTAL COUNTY ALLOCATION FOR ROUND ONE. 
          AND ROUND TWO, IF YOU RECALL, WE DID TAKE $400,000 OFF THE TOP. 
          WE SAY 40,000 FOR AN AUDIT. 
          60,000, WENT TO THE CHAMBER FOR BOTH THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN. 
          AND WE GAVE THE SCHOOLS, UH, $300,000 FOR SOME DISTANCE LEARNING DEVICES OF THE REMAINING MONEY. 
          WE HAD THE 1.6 THAT WE DEDICATED TOWARDS PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL. 
          AND THEN WE COME TO THE SMALL BUSINESS NON-PROFITS AND UTILITIES. 
          SO AT THE CONCLUSION OF ROUND ONE, WE AWARDED $883,865. 
          THAT AMOUNT HAS GONE UP SLIGHTLY WITH SOME OF THE LAST MINUTE PACKAGES, PACKAGES THAT HAVE COME IN, BUT APPROXIMATELY EIGHT 83 TO THE $9,000 RANGE, YOU SEE OUR REMAINING, UH, BALANCES THERE, UH, THAT YOU ALLOCATED. 
          SO WE HAVE ABOUT 1.2 LEFT FOR SMALL BUSINESS, AND NON-PROFITS 400,000 OR SO FOR INDIVIDUAL UTILITY ASSISTANCE FOR A TOTAL OF A 1.5, 1.6 REMAINING TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. 
          UH, SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN I TALK ABOUT THE CASH BALANCE, THAT IS THE MONEY THAT THE CHAMBER HAS PHYSICALLY LEFT IN THE, THEIR TWO RESPECTIVE ACCOUNTS, ONE FOR SMALL BUSINESS, AND ONE FOR, UH, THE UTILITIES, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GIVE THE CHAMBER ALL OF THE MONEY UP FRONT. 
          WE JUST GAVE THEM A PORTION OF THE MONEY UP FRONT. 
          SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ABOUT $125,000 CASH LEFT IN THE SMALL BUSINESS CHAMBER ACCOUNT IN 41,000 AND CHANGE IN THE UTILITIES ACCOUNT. 
          WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING FOR ROUND TWO ARE A COUPLE OF CHANGES. 
          UH, THE FIRST MAJOR CHANGE THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS GRANTS AND ROUND TWO IS TO, UH, OPEN UP A CATEGORY TWO BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE A BUSINESS LICENSE. 
          SO AS YOU LOOK AT THE ITEM, NUMBER ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST PAGE, UM, FROM THE REVENUES OFFICE AND COORDINATED, UH, WITH OUR ATTORNEYS, UM, BUSINESSES THAT, UH, ARE SELLING IT WHOLESALE AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS, SOME INSURANCE COMPANIES PUBLISHING AND MOST NON-PROFITS COULD QUALIFY, UH, FOR CARES ACT ASSISTANCE UNDER THIS CATEGORY. 
          AND WE KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE A FEW BUSINESSES IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAVE ASKED, AND THIS ADDRESSES THOSE BUSINESSES WE WOULD LIMIT, UH, OUR SECOND ROUND SMALL BUSINESS MONEY TO COUNTY BUSINESSES ONLY THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF FRONT ROYAL. 
          SO THAT DIDN'T CHANGE, UH, THAT DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL THE FINAL PIECE, UH, FOR BOTH THE BUSINESS GRANTS AND THE NONPROFITS IS WE'VE RECOMMEND OPENING UP THAT LAST B POLL TEAR FROM 500,000 TO 2 MILLION, FROM 500,000 TO 6 MILLION, WE CAME UP WITH A $6 MILLION FIGURE, UH, BASED ON, UH, MR. NOBLE, OUR ACCOUNTANT THAT'S ON OUR CARE ACT COMMITTEE. 
          HE DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON ALL OF THE NONPROFIT CATEGORIES IN ALL OF THESE SMALL BUSINESS CATEGORIES IN 6 MILLION SEEMED TO BE THE NUMBER THAT HE WAS MOST COMFORTABLE WITH. 
          THAT WAS THE LOWEST MAXIMUM, IF YOU WILL. 
          THAT WAS COMMON TO ALL A SMALL BUSINESS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING, WELL, 6 MILLION SOUNDS A LOT FOR SMALL BUSINESS, BUT DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS YOU ARE, IT MIGHT NOT BE THAT MUCH. 
          SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO GO UP TO 6 MILLION IN THOSE CATEGORIES THAT WILL OPEN UP ASSISTANCE TO AN ADDITIONAL 17 BUSINESSES, UH, IN THE COUNTY THAT THE COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE COULD SEND LETTERS TO AND ANNOUNCING THE GRANT. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. 
          I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE, BUT SHERRY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE AND SHE'LL GET THE LETTERS OUT AND IF APPROVED AND THEY WANT TO APPLY, THEN THEY COULD DO SO, UH, FOR THE NONPROFIT SIDE, UH, WE ARE RECOMMENDING OPENING UP THE NON-PROFIT GRANTS TO INCLUDE THOSE, UH, NONPROFITS WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE TOWN OF FORT ROYAL, AS WELL AS, UH, THE COUNTY NONPROFITS. 
          AGAIN, UH, WE ARE ALSO RECOMMENDING LIMITING THE TOTAL ALLOCATION, UH, TO THE NONPROFITS TO 250,000. 
          AND THEN ON THE UTILITY SIDE, UH, WE WOULD KEEP IT OPEN TO COUNTY RESIDENTS 
          [01:15:01]
AND OPEN IT UP TO TOWN RESIDENTS AS WELL, JUST IN CASE THERE ARE SOME FOLKS IN TOWN THAT NEED HELP, EXCUSE ME, UH, TALKING WITH MR. WILSON, UH, AT THE TOWN, WE DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF TOWN APPLICANTS FOR UTILITIES, BECAUSE HE SAID THAT THEY'RE, THEY, WHEN THEY SEND OUT THE LETTERS THAT, UH, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO TURN YOUR SERVICE OFF. 
          IF YOU DON'T PAY YOUR BILL, MOST PEOPLE PAID, THEIR ACCOUNTS MAY PAY THEIR ACCOUNTS UP. 
          SO WE DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE A LOT, BUT WE DO WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO, UH, TO THOSE FOLKS JUST IN CASE. 
          SO WITH THAT, WE DO RECOMMEND MOVING SOME MONEY, UH, AROUND FROM ROUND ONE IN ROUND TWO. 
          AND THAT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. 
          SO FOR SMALL BUSINESS, UH, WE RECOMMEND HOLDING, UH, RIGHT AT A MILLION DOLLARS FOR SMALL BUSINESS FOR COUNTY AND TOWN DOWN PROFITS. 
          WE WANT TO ADD ANOTHER HUNDRED AND $90,000 FOR ROUND TWO. 
          UH, WE'VE ALREADY SPENT THE OTHER 60,000 OR SO DURING ROUND ONE, OR WE'LL HAVE SPENT IT DURING ROUND ONE TOWARDS NON-PROFITS, UH, THE UTILITIES WE WOULD REDUCE DOWN TO 77,500 AND CHANGE. 
          WE ONLY SPENT $8,800 IN ROUND ONE ON UTILITIES. 
          YOU HAVE A TRANSFER REQUEST, OR YOU WILL HAVE A TRANSFER REQUEST. 
          AND NEXT MEETING FOR 13,500 AND CHANGE, UH, WITH THAT WE'LL DO IS THE, THE PAYROLL THAT WE ESTIMATED IN THE FIRST ROUND ABOUT 850,000, THE ACTUAL COST WAS CLOSER TO EIGHT 63. 
          SO WE WOULDN'T MATCH THAT WITH THE RECORDS WE HAVE. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING, UH, FUNDING. 
          UH, FIRST RESPONDER HAS HER DUTY PAY, UH, THAT WOULD GO TOWARDS, UH, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, FIRE AND RESCUE AND RSW PERSONNEL THAT ARE IN VRS RECOGNIZED HAZARD DUTY POSITIONS. 
          UH, THAT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE, UH, PART-TIMERS, UH, WITH SOME PARAMETERS, UM, THE COURTHOUSE COVID UPGRADES, WE WOULD LIKE TO PAY, UH, THE COURTHOUSE BACK FOR THE MANDATORY COSTS, THE CAMERAS THAT, UH, ANGIE'S HAD TO INSTALL DUE TO THE SUPREME COURT MANDATES IN ORDER FOR THE COURTHOUSE TO, UH, REOPEN TO JURY TRIALS. 
          AND FINALLY, UH, FOR OUR SECOND ROUND, UH, WE ONLY ALLOCATED, UH, 801,000 OR SO TO PUBLIC SAFETY. 
          UH, BUT WE WANT TO PUT THAT BALANCE OF 93 IN THERE JUST IN CASE, UH, I EXPECT WE'LL PROBABLY BE CLOSER TO EIGHT 60, UH, ANY CHANGE LEFTOVER. 
          WE WOULD THEN ROLL OVER TO, UH, WHICH YOU SEE BELOW. 
          I THINK THAT WILL ACCOUNT FOR MOST OF THE MONEY. 
          UM, THE LAST PIECE HERE AT THE END OF ROUND TWO, IF WE DID HAVE ANY CHANGE LEFT, UH, WE WOULD ADVOCATE PUTTING THAT IN PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL, NOT TO EXCEED 500,000. 
          AGAIN, ONE MONTH OF PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL FOR US IS ABOUT 450 OR 460,000. 
          THAT WOULD BE THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. 
          AND THEN IF WE STILL HAVE ANY MONEY LEFT, WE COULD BEGIN TO PAY OURSELVES BACK FOR SOME OF THE FEMA B EXPENSES THAT MS. LOGAN IS CAPTURING AND NOT SUBMIT THEM TO FEMA FOR REIMBURSEMENT. 
          ANY QUESTIONS THERE D THE FEMA MONEY. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT THAT, UM, MRS. LOGAN HAS BEEN PUTTING OUT, UH, REQUESTS AND GETTING EVERYTHING IN. 
          HAVE WE RECEIVED ANYTHING BACK? I KNOW THE TIMEFRAME IS LONG AND I MAY BE JUST WISHING NO, WE'VE EXPENDED A ROUGHLY $350,000. 
          UH, WE'VE SET ASIDE $500,000 FOR THAT. 
          UH, SHE IS NOT PUT IN FOR ANY REIMBURSEMENT YET BECAUSE WE'VE NOT RECEIVED APPROVAL, UH, TO DO THAT YET. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S A LONG, THAT'S A LONG ROAD. 
          I DON'T ANTICIPATE GETTING THAT APPROVAL UNTIL WE DECLARE OR UNTIL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DONE WITH FUNDING. 
          THE EMERGENCY IS OVER, AND NOW EVERYBODY CAPTURED ALL YOUR COSTS AND SUBMIT. 
          I WAS JUST HOPING FOR THE BEST. 
          YES, SIR. 
          SO JUST TO ADD TO THAT, SIR, YOU SHOULDN'T, YOU SHOULDN'T BE ASSUMING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO CARRY THAT COST OR AT LEAST NEXT SPRING, IF NOT IN THE MIX BUDGET. 
          RIGHT. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I WAS JUST HOPING TO CARRY IT FOR THE YEAR WHEN WE HAD ORIGINALLY DONE THAT. 
          I HAD HEARD THE NUMBER, YOU KNOW, LIKE 18 MONTHS, BUT UNTIL IT IS DECLARED OVER, WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE WAITING AND CARRYING THAT DEBT FOR US. 
          SO AGAIN, I WAS JUST HOPING, RIGHT. 
          POSSIBILITY THAT WE WOULDN'T GET REIMBURSED. 
          YEAH. 
          YES. 
          BUT WE ARE, UH, WE ARE ANTICIPATING 
          [01:20:01]
THAT WE WOULD, ALL OF THE COSTS THAT WE'RE CAPTURING, THEY'RE VERY SPECIFIC TO FEMA B. 
          UM, AND WE WOULD ONLY GET 75% OF IT. 
          SO IF WE DID HAVE SOME LEFTOVER CHANGE FROM CARERS, WE COULD TAKE 25% OF WHAT WE PLAN ON REIMBURSING, UH, IN PAY OURSELVES BACK. 
          BUT I DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE'LL EVER, I DON'T THINK WE'LL GET TO IT. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT IT'S HERE JUST IN CASE. 
          OKAY. 
          I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UM, SECTION ONE, THE SMALL BUSINESS GRANTS, UM, I SEE A LOT LISTED HERE, THE, THE, THE COUNTY BUSINESS LICENSES. 
          HOW ABOUT, DID YOU GIVE ANY CONSIDERATION OR THEY DID THE PANEL GIVE ANY CONSIDERATION ON STARTUPS SAY A STARTUP THAT STARTED IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR? WE DID. 
          WE, WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION, UH, ABOUT THAT. 
          AND, UH, REALLY WHAT WE CONCLUDED WAS TO STAY CONSISTENT, UH, WAS TO STAY THE COURSE, UH, BECAUSE TO TRY TO WRITE THE RULES OR THE SETS OF HOW WE WOULD HELP THOSE FOLKS WOULD BE VERY CUMBERSOME. 
          AND, UH, WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT AND WE RECOMMEND STAYING WHERE WE'RE AT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF, UM, MA'AM, YOU WOULD WANT TO ANY MORE ON THAT OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITH NIKKI. 
          UH, BUT WE WOULD PROBABLY SAY, NO, THAT'S JUST UNFORTUNATE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, IF THEY CAN ALWAYS SUBMIT THEIR DOCUMENTATION AND IF IT MET THE PARAMETERS, THEN WE COULD POSSIBLY HELP THEM OUT. 
          RIGHT. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO DETERMINE A STARTUP COMPANY. 
          WE KNOW THEIR START DATE. 
          WE KNOW THAT THEIR ANTICIPATED MARKETING PLAN IS GOING TO BE X. 
          OKAY. 
          THEY NEVER GOT TO X. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND NOW THEY'RE NOW THEY'RE CONTINUING WORKING, BUT THEY HAD A PERIOD OF TIME TO WHERE THEY HAD LITTLE TO NOTHING COMING IN THAT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. 
          AND I, I UNDERSTAND. 
          CORRECT. 
          SO I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING ME. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S THAT MANY GROUPS THAT WOULD FALL INTO THAT, UM, ARENA. 
          I, FROM ROUND ONE, I HEARD OF A FEW, BUT NOT MANY. 
          RIGHT, RIGHT. 
          THAT, THAT APPROACHED THE, UH, COMMITTEE. 
          AND IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HELP, WE SHOULD, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT IT, BUT, UH, THE BOARD IS THE ONES THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THAT DECISION. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UM, IF YOU WOULD FLIP, PLEASE TURN TO, UH, THE B POLL CHART FOR ME, I'LL JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS ON THAT REAL QUICK. 
          UH, THE CHANGE FROM LAST TIME, UH, IF YOU LOOK DOWN THE LEFT-HAND COLUMN, YOU'LL SEE A RUBY CHANGE, THE 500,000 TO 6 MILLION, AND WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF BUSINESSES TO 115, THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE 17 BUSINESSES THAT WOULD NOW BE OPEN FOR ASSISTANCE IN THAT CATEGORY. 
          AND THEN IN THE 6 MILLION PLUS, UH, YOU SEE THAT NUMBER DROPPED TO 13. 
          WE USED TO HAVE 30 BUSINESSES OVER 2 MILLION. 
          UH, NOW WE ONLY HAD THE 13 BUSINESSES OVER 6 MILLION, AND THAT'S THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE TO THIS CHART RIGHT HERE. 
          AND IT'S ALSO ADJUSTED FOR THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE 1.2 FOR SMALL BUSINESS. 
          AND NON-PROFITS, UH, ONE MORE TURN, PLEASE. 
          UH, THIS CHART HERE WITH THE TWO YELLOW BARS THAT YOU SEE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GET THE COLOR COPY, BUT IT'S THE, UH, WARREN COUNTY, VIRGINIA CRF EXPENDITURE UPDATE. 
          UH, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE REPORTING TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTS COMPLIANCE, OFFICER QUARTERLY. 
          UH, THIS REPORT RIGHT HERE IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE REPORT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTS. 
          IT IS ALSO VERY SIMILAR TO HOW, UH, MR. MUNCH SET UP OUR INTERNAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING, UH, WHICH I WILL SHOW YOU IN THE FUTURE IS A COMPARISON. 
          UM, SO THAT OUR SYSTEM INTERNALLY IS SET UP TO REFLECT THE SIMILAR CATEGORIES ON THE TOP BOXES ROUND ONE, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE ALMOST EXPENDED, UH, OUR ENTIRE, UH, 3.5 MILLION, AND THEN OUR PLAN ON THE BOTTOM, IF YOU APPROVE THE, UH, WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TODAY, I WOULD THEN UPDATE THE BOTTOM BOX TO REFLECT THE NEW PLANT CATEGORIES. 
          YOU ALSO SEE ON THE LOWER LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE SECOND BOX, THE WAY THE TOWN PLANS TO INTEND TO SPEND THEIR SECOND ROUND MONEY, THAT MILLION DOLLARS ON, UH, THE, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYEES. 
          YOU'VE GOT 50 TO THE CHAMBER AND ONE 20 FOR HAZARD PAY ON THE TOWN SIDE 
          [01:25:01]
FOUR, OUR ROUND TWO, WE DO PLAN ON OPENING THIS UP, UH, NEXT TUESDAY, THE 13TH AFTER THE HOLIDAY, UH, WE ARE WORKING ON A PRESS RELEASE RIGHT NOW. 
          AND, UH, ONCE JASON AND I HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT, I'LL GET BACK WITH DR. 
          DAILY AND YOU ALL WILL GET THE PRESS RELEASE OUT. 
          UM, EMILY'S ALREADY POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING OPENING ROUND TWO ON THE 13TH. 
          IT WOULD CLOSE ON MONDAY THE 26. 
          AND THEN THAT GIVES US PLENTY OF TIME, UH, TO FINISH EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED HERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THEN THE LAST TWO DOCUMENTS YOU HAVE WOULD THEN BE THE CHAMBER AGREEMENTS THAT, UH, MR. HAM HAS COORDINATED WITH THE, UH, CHAMBER, RIGHT? THE FINAL FINAL AGREEMENTS THERE. 
          THOSE TWO AGREEMENTS ARE JUST MINOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, UH, FOR ROUND TWO, CORRECT? YES. 
          AND THAT THE CHAMBER HASN'T AGREED TO THOSE YET, BUT I EXPECT THAT THEY WILL, UM, MR. BRAMBLE WAS OUT OF TOWN, BUT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HIM. 
          SO IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, I RECOMMEND, UH, SOMEONE READ THE MOTION, PLEASE. 
          NOW, UM, IN READING THIS MOTION, DO WE HAVE TO READ EVERY WORD OF IT? OR CAN WE, CAN WE READ, YES, SORRY. 
          I CAN READ IT. 
          OR RICK CAN, IF THAT'S EASIER TO BOARD THE WARREN COUNTY AUTHORIZED IN MODIFIES PRIOR ALLOCATIONS AS FOLLOWS, NUMBER ONE AROUND TWO OF CRF EXPENDITURES AND TO REALLOCATE AND APPROPRIATE, THE REMAINING CRF FUNDS TOTALLY $1,594,251. 
          AND THAT AREAS OF ALLOCATION BE COUNTY, SMALL BUSINESS, 1 MILLION IN $96 COUNTY TOWN. 
          NON-PROFITS 190,000 COUNTY TOWN, INDIVIDUAL UTILITIES, 77,542 PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL, WHICH WOULD BE A TRANSFER OF 13,593. 
          FIRE RESPONDER HAS HER DUTY PAY 200,000 COURTHOUSE COVID-19 UPGRADES, 20,000 PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL INCREASED $93,020 WHERE TOTAL $1,594,251. 
          NUMBER TWO, THAT, THAT ROUND TO INCLUDE A INCREASE, THE HIGHER, THE HIGHEST BEEPO TIER ABOVE 500,000 TO 6 MILLION AND AWARD 40,000 TO EACH APPROVED SMALL BUSINESS NON-PROFIT APPLICANT IN THIS TIER AND BE OPEN ROUND TWO TO SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED BY LAW OR LOCAL ORDINANCE TO HAVE A COUNTY BUSINESS LICENSE AND SEE ALL OTHER ROUND ONE REQUIREMENTS REMAIN IN EFFECT. 
          NUMBER THREE, AT THE END AROUND TO ANY REMAINING CRF FUNDS, WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN EXPENDED OR FURTHER REALLOCATED INAPPROPRIATE FOR EXPENDITURE IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER UNTIL ALL SUCH FUNDS HAVE BEEN EXPENDED. 
          I PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL FOR MONTH OF NOVEMBER, NOT PREVIOUSLY BOS APPROVED, NOT TO EXCEED 500,000 AND I FEMA BE ASSOCIATED EXPENDITURES, NOT TO EXCEED 500,000. 
          AND NUMBER FOUR, THE EXECUTION BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF AN ADDENDUM TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, UP-FRONT WORLAND WARREN COUNTY FOR THE USE OF FEDERAL CARRIER, ZACK CORONA VIRUS, RELIEF FUNDS, AND I, AND ADENO TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN FRONT ROYAL AND WARREN COUNTY FOR THE USE OF FEDERAL CARES ACT, CORONA VIRUS RELIEF FUNDS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE UTILITY FUNDS TO THOSE IN NEED AND WHOM HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE PANDEMIC NOW BREATHE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          WE HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK THING OR MAYBE TWO IN THE CARES COMMITTEE. 
          WE BET THIS HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT EVOLVED SOMEWHAT BECAUSE I KNOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A HIGHER ALLOCATION. 
          I THINK INITIALLY WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE NONPROFIT MONEY BEING PART OF THE TOTAL, BUT I GUESS SINCE YOU SAID THAT FOUR, I BELIEVE HAD TO REARRANGE, WE HAD A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT LEFTOVER, I GUESS, FROM THE UTILITY FUND. 
          SO YOU'VE KIND OF DIVVIED IT UP SOMEWHERE. 
          BUT THE BIG QUESTION I HAVE IS IN THE COUNTY SMALL BUSINESS, IT'S GOT ALLOCATION AT $1,000,096. 
          YES. 
          HOW COME IT'S NOT $1,000,095 OR $1,000,097. 
          BUT THERE AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT BECAUSE MOST OF THESE GRANTS ARE IN WHOLE NUMBERS, 2,500, 5,000, I GUESS IT JUST, THE WAY IT WORKED IN THE CALCULATIONS, THAT'S THE WAY THE MATH WORKED OUT, BUT WHATEVER IS LEFT OVER, THEN WE WOULD THEN ALLOCATE TO THE NEXT ITEM, JUST BEING FACETIOUS. 
          WE WILL SPEND THE MONEY. 
          I KNOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS THAT YOU PUT 
          [01:30:01]
FORTH ON THIS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THIS IS SHIRAKI. 
          COULD WE GET A ROLL CALL PLEASE? MR. CARTER. 
          HI, MISS OAKS, MR. CHAIRMAN, MS. COLORS, MR. FOX. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          WE WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT THE TOWN IT'S WE CAN LET THE, LET THEM KNOW WHEN, SO, SO IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT, WE CAN DO THAT TONIGHT. 
          I HAVE A SUGGESTED MOTION. 
          I'VE WRITTEN OUT. 
          IF WE WANT TO DO THAT, UM, IT WOULD BE, AND YOU'RE SURE IT'S DATED SEPTEMBER 30TH. 
          YES. 
          TO VEIL. 
          OKAY. 
          THE LATEST, THE MOTION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE TOWN'S SEPTEMBER 30 ROUND TWO SPENDING PLAN AND AUTHORIZE THE PAYMENT TO THE TOWN OF THE ROUND ONE AND ROUND TWO TOWN ALLOCATIONS, UH, UPON, UH, WITHOUT RECEIPT OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT FROM THE TOWN, BUT WITH ALL PREVIOUSLY ROUND TWO AND ROUND TWO ROUND ONE, AND ROUND TWO STATED CONDITIONS, INCLUDING RECEIPTS. 
          SO ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? OH, COULD I GET A SECOND ON THAT PLATE? SECOND, ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION AT ALL? ONLY OTHER THING. 
          IT IT'S NOT, UM, EXACTLY THIS, BUT, AND LIKE I SAID, UH, I THINK MR. FARRELL FOR HIS EFFORTS, HE DIDN'T DO IT ALONE. 
          HE HAD A LOT OF HELP FROM THE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE, THE TREASURER'S OFFICE AND THE PEOPLE THAT SERVED ON THE COMMITTEE AND THE CHAMBER. 
          SO JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS KUDOS TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED, BUT YOU WERE THE LEADER OF THE PACK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WE'RE NOT DONE YET. 
          SO WE'LL, WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT. 
          OKAY.
