HI THERE.

MY NAME IS SKYLAR ZINC.

I'M NOT FROM GOOCHLAND FROM 95, 11 DERANGE ROAD AND MOSLEY.

UM, I AM A LIFELONG FAN OF JUSTIN VERLANDER, WHICH MAKES ME A LIFELONG FAN OF GOOD GOODSON COUNTY.

UM, LIKE I SAID, MY NAME IS SKYLAR.

I AM, UH, HERE ON BEHALF OF CONSERVATIVES FOR CLEAN ENERGY AND THE VIRGINIA LAND AND LIBERTY COALITION, UH, CONSERVATIVES FOR CLEAN ENERGY HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SEVERAL YEARS BASED, UH, ENRICHMENT FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE ENERGY POLICY ENRICHMENT ALWAYS HAS A CONSERVATIVE BENT TO IT.

AND CONSERVATIVE VOICES ARE HEARD.

UM, THE LAND THAT LIBERTY COALITION FOCUSES ON ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND CONSERVATIVE POLICY AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.

UH, I USED TO WORK IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND GOT TO SEE A LOT OF ENERGY POLICY TAKE SHAPE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL.

IT'S PRIVILEGED TO BE WORKING ON THOSE SAME ENERGY ISSUES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, UH, RIGHT HERE AT HOME IN VIRGINIA, WE'RE A COALITION OF BUSINESS OWNERS, UH, LANDOWNERS, CITIZENS, NEIGHBORS, UM, YOU NAME IT AND LOCAL LEADERS LIKE YOURSELVES WHO WANT TO SEE CLEAN ENERGY TAKE SHAPE IN VIRGINIA IN A CONSERVATIVE MANNER AND PLACES LIKE GOOCHLAND.

THAT MEANS SOLAR ENERGY AND SOLAR PROJECTS TAKING SHAPE.

AND WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT PROJECTS THAT, UH, HELP THE COUNTY IN MANY WAYS, MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

UH, BUT WE WILL NOT SUPPORT PROJECTS THAT DON'T DO THAT.

AND WE HAVE A VERY CAREFUL WAY OF MEASURING THAT BALANCE.

WE WANT TO SEE CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS DONE, RIGHT?

[00:15:01]

WE WANT TO SEE REASONABLE SETBACKS FROM ROADS AND OTHER PROPERTIES.

WE WANT TO SEE VEGETATIVE BUFFERS, SHIELDING, THESE PROJECTS FROM VIEW WHERE NEEDED.

WE WANT TO SEE NEIGHBORS RIGHTS BE RESPECTED, AND WE WANT TO SEE STRONG DECOMMISSIONING OF THESE PROJECTS.

SO AFTER THE 30 YEAR LIFESPAN OF THESE PROJECTS, THEY CAN GO BACK INTO FARMLAND OR SOME OTHER POTENTIAL USE FOR THE COUNTY.

UH, AS CONSERVATIVES, WE TALK A LOT ABOUT PROPERTY RIGHTS, YOUR RIGHT TO DO WITH YOUR PROPERTY, WHAT YOU PLEASED ALONG AS YOU'RE NOT IMPACTING, UH, ADVERSELY A NEIGHBOR, UM, IT'S DISTINCTLY AMERICAN.

AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US HERE IN RURAL VIRGINIA.

UH, THESE, THESE PROJECTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE INCOME FOR A LOT OF, UH, A LOT OF THESE LANDOWNERS AND THEY ALSO MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

SO ALSO PHENOMENAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STORY THAT BRINGS YOU ALL TAX REVENUE.

AS YOU CONSIDER THE BUDGET, THESE PROJECTS CAN BE SIGNIFICANT TAX PAYERS COMPARED TO OTHER USES, AND THEY ALSO BRING MORE BUSINESS TO THE COMMUNITY, BOTH DURING CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THESE PROJECTS.

UH, WE'D REALLY LIKE TO BE A PART OF THE CONVERSATION AS YOU ALL CAN CONSIDER PROJECTS AND GIVE THEM THUMBS UP OR THUMBS DOWN.

YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES CALLING BALLS AND STRIKES, AND, UH, WE'RE HERE TO HOPEFULLY BE AN ASSET TO THE COUNTY AS YOU MOVE FORWARD AND CONSIDER CLEAN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT.

SO GETTING MY NAME'S SKYLER ZINC, I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ALL WITH, UH, EMAIL SHARING A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT OUR POLISH, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO GOOCHLAND AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ENGAGING GOOD AFTERNOON, BOARD MS. BEST K WITS COUNTY ATTORNEY BIGGIE, JONATHAN LYLE, 1521 MANNEQUIN ROAD.

I AM A DIRECTOR FOR THE MONICA SOLAR WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT, A HOUSTON FARM BUREAU DIRECTOR, AND A CITIZEN, ALL THREE OF US LIVE AT THE SAME ADDRESS.

SO, UM, I HOPE EVERYBODY HAD A HAPPY EASTER.

UH, IF, UH, YOU WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL OR DID NOT HAVE AS ROBUST OF AN EASTER EGG HUNT, IF YOU WANTED.

UH, I DID BRING IN SOME CHOCOLATE EASTER EGGS THAT ARE IN A WHITE BASKET.

THEY'RE BACK AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM.

SO THEY'RE HERMETICALLY SEALED.

THEY ARE LABELED CHOCOLATE.

THERE SHOULD BE NO MISUNDERSTANDING AS TO WHAT THEIR CONTENT IS.

UM, I DO WANT TO THANK THE BOARD AND MR. ALVAREZ AND THE CHAIRMAN FOR HELPING, UH, ME AS CHAIRMAN OF THE MONICA DISTRICT PURSUE A NATIONAL FISH AND WILDLIFE FOUNDATION GRANT.

UM, YOU'VE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE ON A VERY SHORT TIME TABLE.

UM, GOVERNMENT HAS OFTEN SAID THEY HAVE THREE SPEEDS, SLOW STOP AND REVERSE.

UM, THIS APPLICATION HAS GONE INTO THE STOP MODE, UH, BECAUSE OF THE SHORT TIME TABLE.

AND SO IT'S BEING REFLECTED, BUT WE DO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT YOU FOLKS AND MR. BUZZER THAT MIGHT'VE HAD ALSO WAS VERY, VERY HELPFUL, UM, WITH THEM.

I WANT US ALSO, AS YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE BUDGET EXPRESS APPRECIATION FOR THE BUDGETARY SUPPORT THAT IS IN THE POTENTIALLY APPROVED BUDGET.

UH, WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT OUR LEASE, UM, AT THE, UH, CULTURAL CENTER OUT ON DOGTOWN ROAD IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED ALSO.

AND THAT'S A SEGUE INTO JUST A HEADS UP THAT OUR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE COUNTY, UH, RUNS THROUGH AUGUST OF THIS YEAR.

AND WE WILL BE APPROACHING MR. UH, WOULD LEARN TO GET DIRECTION FROM HIM AS TO HOW WE MIGHT PROCEED WITH DISCUSSING THE RENEWAL OF THAT WE HOPE.

UH, BUT THAT IS ON THE HORIZON.

SO, UM, COME, UH, WHOOPS, KIND OF HURRY.

UM, THAT WOULD BE, UM, UM, UP AND COMING.

UH, I WILL MENTION JUST IN PASSING THURSDAY, THE 21ST IS AG DAY AT GUCCI IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, RIGHT ACROSS THE PARKING LOT, UH, THAT GOT MY ATTENTION BECAUSE ICE CREAM WILL BE AVAILABLE.

SO YOU CAN COUNT ON ME SHOWING UP.

AND THEN JUST IN MY FINAL COMMENTS, I JUST WANT TO PERSONALLY SAY, I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT THAT YOU FOLKS HAVE PUT IN YOU'VE, UH, MADE RECOGNITION THAT THIS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGING BUDGET BETWEEN THE COVID, UM, THE SCHOOLS AND THE BOND REFERENDUM, UH, THE REASSESSMENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE.

UH, I'VE WATCHED SOME OF THE SAUSAGE BEING MADE, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ALL OF IT, BUT I DO VERY MUCH AS A CITIZEN, APPRECIATE THAT YOU FOLKS HAVE MADE AN INVESTMENT.

I FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THE DECISIONS THAT YOU CONTEMPLATE AND, UH, ARE MAKING R AND D IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COUNTY.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

SO WHITE BASKET BACK IN THE ROOM, CHOCOLATE, EASTER EGGS, ANYONE ELSE FOR A CITIZEN COMMON PERIOD.

SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE CITIZEN COMING PERIOD.

THIS LAST SLIDE, ANYTHING ON YOUR END

WE'RE MOVING INTO OUR REPORTS BOARD.

THE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE REPORT WAS PRESENTED, UM,

[X. Reports]

FOR YOUR REVIEW.

AND AT THIS TIME WE WILL GO AND DO OUR BOARD REPORTS.

[1. 5334: Accounts Payable March 2022]

[00:20:02]

[2. Board Reports]

RIGHT NOW, THE RICHMOND REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION, UM, ORGANIZATION IS RELATIVELY QUIET, WHICH IS A LITTLE SCARY.

UM, WE JUST APPROVED A FEW PROJECTS THAT WERE ON OUR AGENDA THAT ARE, WE APPROVED A D ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE ALREADY ON OUR LIST.

AND SOME OF THAT COMES FROM OBVIOUSLY INFLATION.

UH, BUT THERE ARE A FEW OTHER OTHERS THERE.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY INCREASED WAY BEYOND THE, WHAT WE ANTICIPATE FOR INFLATION.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

MR. CHAIRMAN.

THANK YOU, MS. SLASH MR. PETERSON, I THINK YES.

MR. JOE, THANK YOU.

THE, UM, UH, AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL BE MEETING ON MAY 3RD, AND WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF ISSUES TO DISCUSS, UM, NOT TO BE MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK, BUT WE DID ISSUE ABOUT 50 MILLION IN EARLY FEBRUARY INTEREST RATES SINCE THEN HAVE GONE UP ABOUT 1% AND 1% ON 50 MILLION, ABOUT HALF A MILLION A YEAR OVER 20 YEAR PERIOD.

IT'S ABOUT $10 MILLION.

SO WE DID A MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK.

WE DID A GOOD JOB BY PULLING THAT TRIGGER BEFORE RATES STARTED TO RISE.

THERE IS AN ISSUE THOUGH, IF THERE'S A NON ARBITRATION OR ARBITRAGE, UH, PROVISION IN THE CODE THAT SAYS THAT WE CAN'T BORROW AT THE TAX-FREE RATE AND THEN INVEST AT THE TAXABLE RATE AND HARVEST THE DIFFERENCE.

UM, THAT'S AN ARBITRAGE THAT WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO.

UH, NOW WE ISSUED OUR BONDS WHEN RATES WERE VERY LOW LONG-TERM RATES WERE VERY LOW AND THEIR LONG-TERM MATES ARE SELDOM BELOW THE SHORT TERM RATES, BUT WE MIGHT SEE THAT PHENOMENON DEVELOP IN THE NEAR TERM IF THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOLLOWS THROUGH ON WHAT IT'S SAYING, WHICH COULD RAISE SHORT-TERM RATES IN OUR SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT, IN THOSE FUNDS AT A HIGHER INTEREST RATE THAN THE, UH, LONG-TERM RATE THEY'RE PAYING ON THOSE FUNDS, WHICH WOULD CREATE AN ARBITRAGE.

IF THAT HAPPENS, WE JUST NEED TO GIVE THE, THE EXCESS BACK, UM, IDEALLY SHORT RATES GO UP TO EQUAL THAT.

SO THERE IS NO CARRY COST TO THAT 50 MILLION, BUT THAT'S, UM, THAT'S A DREAM KIND OF, UM, UH, SITUATION.

UH, WE'RE ALSO, UM, GOING TO DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR RESERVES, WHICH HERE TO FOUR HAD BEEN A, KIND OF LIKE A COST TO CARRY BECAUSE IT WASN'T EARNING ANY, ANY INTEREST, BUT OUR RESERVES MAY, AT SOME POINT START TO EARN INTEREST, WHICH WOULD BE WELL WOULD GENERATE POTENTIALLY ADDITIONAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THE BUDGET AND THE COMING YEARS.

SO WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT AS WELL.

UM, LAST THING TO MENTION IS THERE, I GUESS TOMORROW, MAYBE WE'LL START THE BUDGET PROCESS FOR NEXT YEAR AND, UH, UH, SINCE REAL ESTATE, THE NEXT DAY.

UM, BUT SINCE RESIDENTIAL IS A BIG PIECE OF IT, WE JUST WERE WATCHING A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE RATE GO FROM TWO AND A HALF TO OVER FIVE NOW.

AND SO THAT MAY HAVE SOME IMPLICATIONS ABOUT REAL ESTATE MARKET GOING FORWARD.

SO WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION IF, AND WHEN WE BEGIN THE PROCESS FOR NEXT YEAR, BUT SO MR. CHAN, THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON YOUR BACK THE REST OF MY TIME.

I'M SURE WE WILL GET INTO THE BUDGET AT SOME POINT, MAYBE JUST NOT TOMORROW.

HOW ABOUT ON THE SIDE SHARPNESS? I CAN'T, I DON'T HAVE DON'T CARRY THE GREAT NEWS THAT MR. PETERSON CARRIES AROUND WITH HIM, BUT, UM, PLAN RVA, UH, JUST A VERY INTERESTING, UH, PRESENTATION THE OTHER DAY ON, UH, A PROGRAM, UH, FROM ANOTHER CITY WHERE THEY HAVE, UM, GENERATED FUNDS THAT THEY ARE LOANING OUT AT LOW INTEREST RATES TO PEOPLE TO FIX UP THEIR HOUSES SO THEY CAN STAY IN THEIR HOUSES LONGER.

UM, SO INTERESTING PROJECT, UM, OH NO, WHERE IT MIGHT GO IN THIS AREA, BUT IT WAS, UH, VERY ENLIGHTENING AND, UH, THE, UH, CLEO, I DID NOT MAKE THAT MEETING.

UM, AND MY, UH, ALTERNATE COULD NOT MAKE IT EITHER.

AND, UH, SO, UM, I DON'T HAVE THE MINUTES YET TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE, BUT I DON'T, I DOUBT IT WAS ANYTHING OR IT'S SHAKING, SO.

UM, A COMMITTEE TO HIRE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR, UH, THE CBTA.

THANK YOU, MR. SHARP JENKINS.

WE'RE STILL ON THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION, MS. LAST CLUB COVERED THAT.

UM, AND ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT DID MOVE GET MOVED FORWARD IN THAT GROUP WAS THE HOCKETT ROMAN BYPASS THAT CENTER, ONE OF THESE PROJECTS WAS IN GOOCHLAND.

SO THAT'S THAT? THAT'S A GOOD, GOOD NEWS.

I THINK FOR THE COUNTY THAT ONE OF THE ONES THAT I THINK WE'RE HOPING TO DISCERN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE, HOW THE COST WENT FROM WHERE IT STARTED TO, WHERE IT ENDED UP, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL DIG INTO THAT AS WE GO FORWARD, BUT THAT COVERED THE TPO IS IT IS GOING TO QUIET DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT'LL PICK BACK UP.

THANK YOU, MR. ELEPHANTS.

UM, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THE CENTRAL VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, UM, MYSELF AND MS. PATRICIA PAGE FROM NEW KENT COUNTY ARE CO-CHAIRING,

[00:25:01]

SO A LOT OF DOING A LOT OF HIRING THESE DAYS IN MY NON-JOB JOB.

UH, BUT, UH, IT'S GOING VERY WELL.

WE GOT A LOT OF APPLICANTS AND THE, UH, WE'LL BEGIN, UH, MOVING ON TO INTERVIEWS, UH, VERY SHORTLY.

SO, UH, SEE, IT'S BEEN INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT ORGANIZATION IS STARTING FROM THE GROUND UP.

UM, AND IT'S BEEN FUN TO BE PART OF IT.

SO, AND IT'S, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE SEEING SOME BENEFIT IN BUCHANAN COUNTY, SO THAT'S SOME GREAT STUFF.

I WILL ASK MR. ALVAREZ TO REVIEW THE FOREST.

AND WITH THAT, I WILL MOVE US INTO THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM.

WE HAVE TWO ITEMS ON OUR CONSENT AGENDA TODAY, AND

[XI. Consent Agenda]

OKAY, MR. CHAIRMAN, THE FIRST ITEM ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, IT'S A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE

[1. 5354: Resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2022 Goochland County Budget by Budgeting and Appropriating $648,297 in the Capital Improvement Fund for the Fairground Road roundabout project]

FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET BY BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING $648,297 IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR THE FAIRGROUND ROUNDABOUT.

THIS WAS TO COVER THE INCREASES IN THE PROJECT, AND WE DISCUSSED THAT IN TWO BY TWOS.

UH, THE NEXT, UM, NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE SUBMISSION OF A 2022 INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING APPLICATION TO THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE, UH, FOR THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO PROVIDE FUNDING, TO IMPROVE THE OIL VILLE ROAD.

I 64 INTERCHANGE, IF YOU RECALL, THAT PROJECT WAS ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND HE GOT REMOVED FROM THAT BILL AT THE LAST MINUTE, RIGHT BEFORE IT WAS SIGNED BY THE PRECEDENT.

AND THERE, WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY, UH, THERE WAS, WE WERE NOTIFIED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO AND IT HAD TO BE IN BY THE 15TH.

SO WE RESUBMITTED THE APPLICATION AND THIS RESOLUTION SUPPORTS IT.

I'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED, UH, WELL, MR. SPOON HOWARD AND I HAVE SUBMITTED LETTERS IN SUPPORT OF THAT APPLICATION ALREADY.

THAT'S ALL ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ANY, UM, ANY DISCUSSION OR MOTION TO TAKE THEM AS A, AS A BODY? I THINK WE'RE PAST THAT POINT.

CAN WE, WE'LL JUST, UH, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT ITEMS ITEMS AS PRESENTED, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION ON THE FIRST ONE.

BUT, OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND DISCUSSION, UH, YEAH.

ON THE FIRST ONE.

UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS JUST FOR MY EDUCATION.

AND MAYBE JUST, SO FOLKS CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE INSIGHT INTO THIS, THE PROFFERS PORTION VERSUS THE CBT, A LOCAL FUNDING.

HOW DID WE ARRIVE AT THAT DIVISION BETWEEN THOSE TWO, UM, YOU KNOW, TO, TO CLOSE THIS GAP? JUST, JUST, JUST IN GENERAL, I'M WONDERING WHAT, YOU KNOW, USE ALWAYS USE, SORRY.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

UM, WE ALL JUST USE PROFFERS TO THE MAX THAT WE'VE COLLECTED BECAUSE THOSE HAVE A TIME LIMIT ON IT.

AND THEN THE REMAINDER SO THAT WE USED ALL THE PROFFERS THAT WERE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, THAT WAS KIND OF BACK TO BACK THAT UP AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO START.

BUT YEAH, SO, SO THAT, THAT THAT'S GREAT.

SO ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT COULD BE USED ON THIS PROJECT HAVE BEEN APPLIED? CORRECT.

OKAY, GREAT.

UM, SO THE EXHIBIT A, UH, AND THIS NUMBER CAME UP BECAUSE THE PROJECT WAS PUT OUT FOR BID AND THE BIDS CAME BACK AND THE WINNING BID CREATED THE SHORTFALL.

IS THAT RIGHT? UM, YES.

AND I THINK NOW YOU PROBABLY WANT JOANNE TO COME UP.

I JUST FIND THE MONEY AND SHE SPENDS THE MONEY TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE, WHY THE MONEY.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

SO THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY, UH, V DOT HAS BUILT A LOCALITY.

SO, UM, SO IS THIS WHERE THIS IS CLOSING A GAP BETWEEN WHAT WAS IN THE PROJECT AND WHAT THE BID, THE WINNING BID CAME IN? THAT'S CORRECT.

UM, SO THIS PROJECT, WE, IT WAS SENT OUT TO BID, UM, LIKE ALL BIDS THAT HAVE BEEN, UH, SUBMIT IT WITHIN THE LAST PROBABLY YEAR OR SO.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE AVERAGING, UH, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT HIGHER BASED ON SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES AND, UM, COST OF MATERIAL.

SO THIS WAS THE LOW BID FOR THE PROJECT.

UM, AND THIS WOULD, WOULD CLOSE THAT GAP IN ORDER FOR THIS ONCE.

UM, IF THE BOARD APPROVES THIS, THEY WILL AWARD THE BID, UH, THIS WEEK TO THAT CONTRACTOR.

AND WE CAN BEGIN MEETING WITH THEM TO, TO COME UP WITH DETOUR PLANS AND FURTHER, UH, GETTING THE PROJECT DIRT MOVING IN THE GROUND.

GOTCHA.

SO, UM, AND MAYBE BACK TO BARBARA ON THIS NEXT QUESTION, UM, AT THE BOTTOM OF EXHIBIT A, AND I'M JUST, AND THIS IS AGAIN, KIND OF THE MONEY AND THE TIMING ON THE MONEY.

IT SAYS, THIS IS A LIMITED FUNDS PROJECT, THE LOCALITY SHELBY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN EXCESS OF THE 3.6.

UM,

[00:30:02]

THEY'RE JUST, THEY'VE RECEIVED.

READY? OKAY.

SO WE, SO WE HAVE ALREADY PAID OUR FIRST HALF, AND THEN THEY'RE ASKING FOR OUR BALANCE, AS SOON AS WE APPROVE IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE, UM, YEAH.

WE'VE ALREADY PAID THE INITIAL.

AND THEN THEY'RE ASKED COMPRESSED, THEY'LL SUBMIT US AN INVOICE FOR THE 6 48.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS I LEARNED WITH THIS PROJECT IS THERE'S AN ESTIMATE THERE'S A 50 50 SHARE PLANNED.

BUT IF, IF YOU GO ABOVE THE ESTIMATE THAT LOCALITY COVERS A HUNDRED PERCENT, THIS WAS NOT REVENUE SHARE FOR FAIRGROUND ROAD EXTENSION.

THAT WILL BE REVENUE SHARE.

THAT WOULD BE A 50 50 MIX.

SO, SO WHEN WE PAY THE 6 48, 2 97, WHICH IS KIND OF PROBABLY BE PRETTY SOON, ACCORDING TO THIS, THEY'LL TURN THE CONTRACTOR LOOSE.

DO WE HAVE ANY EXPOSURE FOR ANY MORE OBLIGATIONS FOR THIS PROJECT? NO, BECAUSE THE BID HAS BEEN SUBMITTED AND THEY HAVE TO BUILD IT TO THAT BID ANY, ANY OVERRUNS OR ANYTHING THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND THE DOT WE'LL DEAL WITH IT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? UH, THANK YOU, MS. HUNTER, MAYBE, UM, DON'T LEAVE IF YOU DON'T MIND.

UM, SO ASSUMING THAT WE APPROVE THIS TODAY, THEN WE'RE READY TO LET THE BED GO AND GET STARTED ON THE PROJECT.

HERE'S MY QUESTION RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE THE OTHER END OF 5 22 BEING CONSTRUCTED IN A ROUNDABOUT.

IS THERE A WAY TO NOT HAVE THESE TWO PROJECTS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME? ARE YOU SPEAKING AT THE 5 22 IN BROAD? WHY DIDN'T LOUISA? CORRECT.

UM, WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT THE 5 22 WE'VE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE MAKING TURN LANES AT, UH, BULLDOG WAY AND ROUTE SIX AND THAT WE WOULD COORDINATE WITH THEM SO THAT THOSE PROJECTS AREN'T GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME, BUT WE DID NOT LOOK AT, SHOULD IT BE DONE AT A DIFFERENT TIME THAN THE BROAD AND, AND, UM, 5 22 ROUNDABOUT.

UM, RIGHT.

IF WE COULD CHECK ON THAT, IF YOU DON'T MIND EVO 5 22 WOULD HAVE TWO CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS GOING ON AND THAT'S, AND WE CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S THE ESTIMATED TIME.

I THINK THEY'RE CLOSE TO THE, UH, END ON THE OTHER ONE.

UM, THEY WERE ORIGINALLY TALKING ABOUT A YEAR TIMEFRAME ON THIS, UH, ROUNDABOUT, UH, DUE TO SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES.

ALL OF THE BIDDERS REQUESTED A LONGER TIMEFRAME.

UM, SO THE CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO BE MORE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF.

HOWEVER, THERE'S ONLY GOING TO BE ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS, TOTAL WHERE IT'S SHUT DOWN AND THERE'S A DETOUR.

THE REST OF IT WILL BE DONE, UM, SIMILAR TO 5 22 AND BROAD, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE WORKING, BUT IT'S NOT SHUT DOWN FOR A DETOUR.

UM, BUT ONCE THEY, UM, AWARD THE CONTRACT, ONCE THEY GET THE, UH, AGREEMENT FROM THE COUNTY, WE WILL MEET WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND DISCUSS ALL OF THAT.

AND WE'LL, YOU KNOW, BE SURE TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD IN PUBLIC, UM, OF THE DETOURS WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO OCCUR AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND RIGHT NOW THE ONE IN LOUISA, I MEAN, TRAFFIC STILL FLOWS THROUGH THERE.

TWO LITTLE DIFFERENT PATTERN.

YOU HAVE TO WAIT AND ALL THAT, BUT IT'S STILL GOING.

RIGHT.

IT'S NOT SHUT DOWN.

AND I JUST CONCERNED ABOUT TWO PLACES ON 5 22 MEN SHUT DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

WE DID NOT THINK OF THAT.

WE DID THINK ABOUT THE BULLDOG WAY, BUT WHEN WE MEET WITH THE CONTRACTOR, WE WILL BRING THAT UP.

WHICH AM, I DON'T WANT TO DELAY IT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT COSTS MONEY TO, UH, TO HAVE TWO PLACES AND THAT NINE, 10 MILES STRETCH THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SHUT DOWN WOULD BE FRUSTRATING.

THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.

AND WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT THAT THAT'S CONSIDERED THAT GREAT COMMENTS.

I MEAN, MR. WALKER ON THE SET ON THE SECOND ONE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT JUST THIS RESOLUTION SOMETHING REQUESTED BY OUR CONGRESS REP CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES, AND I ASSUME IT'S, WE'RE GOING TO SEND IT TO SOMEBODY THAT WANTS IT.

THAT'S GOING TO USE IT FOR, YES.

IT WAS REQUESTED TO SUPPORT THE APPLICATION.

IT WAS NOT A REQUIREMENT, BUT THEY SAID IT WOULD HELP.

THE APPLICATION WAS FILED LAST FRIDAY PAPER I CHARGED BY THE HOUR.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING OUR CONSENT AGENDA, PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE.

OPPOSED.

WE HAVE JOKE PASSING.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. ALVAREZ, MR. CHAIRMAN, AND THE BOARD

NOW WE MOVE ON INTO NEW BUSINESS AND MS. SMITH.

THE FIRST STEP IS TO ADOPT THE TAX RATES.

BUDGET RELATED OR GUIDANCE CHANGES.

MR. LUMPKIN TERMINUS PUENTE.

[4. 5337: Ordinance amending the County Fee Schedule, Appendix C to the County Code, to: increase the utilities water and sewer volume charges and service fees; increase the base Building Inspections residential electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permit fees; add a fee for requesting a 30-day extension of an existing temporary occupancy permit; and add an hourly fee to the fireworks permit fee for the fire marshal's time over 3 hours]

WE'RE INCREASING THE BASE OF RESIDENTIAL PERMIT FEES TO A HUNDRED, ADDING A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR REQUESTING A 30 DAY EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY OCCUPANCY AND AMENDING THE FIREWORKS PERMIT NEGATIVE.

OH, SORRY.

50 ADDING 50 TO ADDING TOTAL.

THANK YOU, MS. SMITH, ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD SUPERVISORS ADOPT THIS ORDINANCE AMENDING GOOCHLAND COUNTY FEE SCHEDULE THE APPENDIX C TO THE COUNTY CODE ORDINANCES AS PRESENTED.

AND THE TOTAL FEE IS NOW A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A 30 DAY EXTENSION ON A TEMPORARY ATMOSPHERE.

THANK YOU A SECOND.

THANK YOU FOR THE DISCUSSION.

SO I HAD, UM, I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THIS $50, UH, FOR REQUESTING THE EXTENSION.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST WEEK AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THAT IS INTENDED TO, OR, OR WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO RECRUIT FROM THAT.

BUT I'M JUST WONDERING, YOU KNOW, IS THAT, UM, SITUATIONS THAT MIGHT BE OUT OF FOLKS' CONTROL BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, THE ECONOMY AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES? YEAH.

SO A TEMPORARY CEO IS, IS DEFINITELY UNUSUAL.

UM, THE REASON WHY THIS, EXCUSE ME, IT WAS BROUGHT UP IS ONCE WE GIVE A, A TEMPORARY, SOMEBODY HAS ALREADY OCCUPIED THE BUILDING WITHOUT MEETING SOME SORT OF REQUIREMENT.

UM, WE HAVE HAD SITUATIONS WHERE THIS PERSONS HAS GOTTEN THE TEMPORARY CEO AND JUST SORT OF THE CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN PAID AND MOVED ON AND WE THEN KIND OF JUST DROP IT.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HOPE THAT THIS FEE WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO, TO COMPLETE THE IMPROVEMENTS.

NOW THIS IS IF WE GO OUT AND IT FAILS, THAT'S WHEN THE FEE IS CHARGED.

IF THERE'S AN ISSUE WHERE THEY CALL US AND SAY, WE'RE WAITING TO GRADE THE YARD AND WE CAN'T, WE WILL WORK WITH THEM AND EXTEND THE TCO.

SO THIS IS REALLY FOR THE SITUATION FOR, WE GAVE THEM AN EXCEPTION.

WE LET THEM MOVE IN AND THEY'RE JUST NOT COMPLETING THE REQUIREMENTS.

AND THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO THIS IS NOT A MANDATORY, IT IS AN OPTIONAL.

I APPRECIATE THAT'S A GOOD DISTINCTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? OKAY.

MISS LAST CO-LEAD YES.

MR. PETERSON.

AND CHAIRMAN'S POON HAUER.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO THE AMENDMENT AND ADOPTION AMENDMENTS TO THE FY 23 PROPOSED BUDGET, SORRY.

UH, BASICALLY WE START WITH A COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET AND OVER TIME WE LEARN ABOUT NEW THINGS.

UM, THE DEBT INCREASED WHEN IT FINALLY CAME IN AND WE GOT THE BOTTOM LINE, THE DEBT PAYMENT INCREASED TO 190 OR 193,000 FROM WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED.

AND THEN THE SCHOOLS, THEY HAD ADDITIONAL REVENUES THAT THEY

[5. 5338: Adoption of the County Administrator’s Proposed FY2023 Budget]

FOUND.

SO THEIR REVENUES WENT UP BY 283,000.

SO THAT'S THE TOTAL AMENDMENTS TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

AND NOW WE HAVE THE 23 BUDGET WITH THE AMENDMENTS FOR ALL FUNDS.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

SO THE ISSUE OR THE AMENDMENTS ARE THE ENTIRE BUDGET WITH THE AMENDMENTS.

IT'S THE ENTIRE BUDGET WITH THE AMENDMENTS.

IT'S THE 23 INCREASE OR DECREASE TO 22 YESTERDAY, 20.

WHAT DOES THE LAST COLUMN REPRESENT A COMPARISON TO WHAT IT'S YOUR F Y 23 ORIGINAL BUDGET TO THE ADOPTED BUDGET ADOPTED.

IT SAYS PROPOSED ON THAT, BUT IT SHOULD BE ADOPTED THE REDUCTION MR. LUMPKINS FACTOR LAST YEAR, THE BUDGET INCLUDED THE FUNDING FOR THE SCHOOL.

SO THAT'S THE WHY IT'S SMALLER.

IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE.

I WAS, I WAS, I WAS JUST THE LAST COLUMN, NOT THE LAST ROW, BUT I WAS LOOKING AT THAT TOO.

SO, SO IT'S THE 23 INCREASE OR DECREASE TO

[00:45:01]

PUT THAT THING TO 22.

WHAT? 20 TWOS ADOPTED BUDGET.

I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SAME CALL.

DID NINE NEGATIVE 12%, CORRECT? YEAH, CORRECT.

YEP.

SAME, SAME COLUMN LAST, THE LAST ONE ON THE RIGHT LAST LAST-CLICK.

SO, UH, SO THANK YOU FOR, UM, HELPING US UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE DISTINCTION.

THE SLIDE THAT YOU'RE SHOWING DOES NOT MATCH WHAT'S IN OUR BOARD PACKET, UH, AND THE, WHERE IT'S NOT MATCHING IS THE NUMBERS SEEM TO BE THE SAME.

IT'S JUST THAT THE, THE CALM THAT ADDS UP TO 124 MILLION, IT SHOWED IN OUR BOARD PACKET IS THE 23 ADOPTED BUDGET.

AND YOU'RE SHOWING IT AS THE UPDATED PROPOSED BUDGET.

THE PACKAGE IS ASSUMING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE FOR IT NOW.

BUT IS THIS THE SLICES? OKAY.

I JUST WANT TO BE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

THAT'S THAT 124 MILLION IS THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

IF YOU'RE ADOPTED TODAY, IT'S, IT'LL BE THE ADOPTED BUDGET WITH THE AMENDMENTS.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

SORRY.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO ADOPT THE BUDGET.

JUST A LITTLE ONE.

SO MR. CHAIR, UM, UH, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD ADOPT AS AMENDED THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET AND 25 YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PRESENTED ON FEBRUARY 22ND, 2022.
