the costs of issuance of the Obligations referred
to below, including the costs of any credit

completion of any of the projects set forth above.
The Airport Development Program will provide better
airport services to the inhabitants of the Participating
Political Subdivisions, which presently consist of the City
of Richmond and the Counties of Chesterfield, Hanover and
Henrico. The Airport Development Program will also promote
13-12
01/09/13
the welfare, convenience and prosperity of the inhabitants of
the Participating Political Subdivisions and the Commonwealth
of Virginia, and the increase of their commerce.
The Commission anticipates that it will finance or
refinance all or a part of the Airport Development Program
through the issuance from time to time of its bonds, notes or
other obligations in an aggregate maximum amount now
estimated not to exceed $750,000,000. As described further
below, the Commission contemplates that it may also issue
bonds, notes or other obligations to refund any bonds, notes
or other obligations issued to finance or refinance the
Airport Development Program, also in an aggregate maximum
amount now estimated not to exceed $750,000,000. Any such
bonds, notes or other obligations and refunding bonds, notes
or other obligations are together referred to in this plan of
financing as "Obligations". Obligations for initial
financing or refunding may be issued at different times in
several series of different amounts, with the timing, amounts
and number depending on the Commission's need for funds and
market conditions. The Commission expects that the first
issuance of Obligations will occur no later than one year
after the approval of the last Participating Political
Subdivision to approve the issuance of the Obligations and
the general purposes thereof and the last such issuance to
occur no later than three years after the first issuance
pursuant to the plan of financing.
The Obligations may be issued on either a taxable or
tax-exempt basis and may be secured by or payable (i) from
the revenues of the Commission generally or certain
designated projects or facilities on or about the Airport,
(ii) exclusively from the income and revenues of the Airport
Development Program's facilities or any part thereof, or
(iii) from passenger facility charges approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration and collected by or on behalf of the
Commission. The Commission may additionally secure the
Obligations by a pledge of any grant or contribution from a
Participating Political Subdivision, the Commonwealth of
Virginia or any political subdivision, agency or
instrumentality thereof, any federal agency or any unit,
private corporation, copartnership, association, or
individual, as such Participating Political Subdivision, or
other entities may be authorized to make under general law or
by a pledge of any income or revenues of the Commission, or
where such mortgage has been approved by the Participating
Political Subdivisions, a mortgage of facilities of the
Commission. The Commission may also obtain credit
enhancement, such as bond insurance or letters of credit, to
secure the Obligations, but it does not now contemplate that
it will seek the moral obligation support of the
Participating Political Subdivisions. The Obligations shall
not be a debt of the Commonwealth of Virginia or any
political subdivision thereof (including the Participating
Political Subdivisions), other than the Commission, and
neither the Commonwealth of Virginia nor any political
subdivision thereof (including the Participating Political
Subdivisions), other than the Commission, shall be liable
thereon, nor shall such bonds be payable out of funds or
properties other than those of the Commission.
while the Airport Development Program likely will be
financed ultimately through the issuance of the Commission's
13 -13
01/09/13
long term revenue bonds, the Commission anticipates that it
will finance some or all of it initially through a short term
credit facility, a line or lines of credit or bond
anticipation notes. Accordingly, the plan of financing
includes not only the issuance of bonds, note or other
obligations in an aggregate amount now estimated not to
exceed $750,000,000 to finance the Airport Development
Program, but also the issuance of refunding bonds, notes or
other obligations, also in an aggregate amount now estimated
not to exceed $750,000,000, to refinance indebtedness issued
to finance or refinance the Airport Development Program.
The plan of financing also includes the refunding, if
deemed advantageous or desirable by the Commission, of any or
all of the Commission's outstanding indebtedness, including
its General Airport Revenue Refunding Bonds - Series 2004,
General Airport Revenue Bonds - Series 2001 (as amended in
2011), General Airport Revenue Refunding Bonds - Series 2005,
General Airport Revenue Bonds - Series 2008, Passenger
Facility Charge Revenue Bonds - Series 2006, Car Rental

9.C.2. AWARD OF CONTRACT AND APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR
DOCUMENTING THE LOCATION AND MAPPING THE STORM
DRAINAGE SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Mincks stated the
issue in the case was whether the regulation of the volume of
storm water by itself was an appropriate regulation and
considered to be a pollutant. He further stated the concern
within the regulation was in the particulate matter that was
suspended within the storm water. He stated the EPA was only
regulating the water flow, but was not imposing any standards
on what was suspended within the flow.
On motion of Mr. Warren, seconded by Mr. Gecker, the Board
awarded a contract to World View Solutions, Inc., in the
amount of $295,691.83, and appropriated previously reserved
funds for documenting the location and mapping the storm
drainage systems throughout Chesterfield County.

17. PUBLIC HEARINGS
17.A. TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 19 OF THE COUNTY
CODE AND ADOPTION OF A POLICY REGULATING ALTERNATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Mr. Carl Schlaudt stated this date and time has been
advertised for a public hearing for the Board to consider
amendments to Chapter 19 of the County Code and adoption of a
policy regulating alternative financial institutions. He
further stated the proposed ordinance would 1) define
alternative financial institutions (AFIs); 2) list AFIs as
conditional uses in C-5 zoning districts; and 3) list
consumer finance companies as conditional uses in C-5 zoning
districts. He stated the proposed policy would provide
guidance for evaluating zoning applications for AFIs.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's questions, Mr. Schlaudt stated a
shopping center would be precluded under the mile separation
policy and is not considered a single building. He stated the
two pawn brokers in the county do buy gold; however he has
not heard any concerns relative to precious metals.
Mr. Jaeckle called for public comment.
Ms. Dana Wiggins, representing the Virginia Partnership to
Encourage Responsible Lending (VaPERL), urged the Board to
support the proposed ordinance. She stated any changes to the
policy would permit predatory lenders to operate within the
county.
Ms. Nancy Finch expressed her concerns relative to
alternative financial institutions within the county. She
urged the Board to explore new methods of helping those less
fortunate.
Ms. Holly Coy, Director of Programs at the Virginia
Interfaith Center, urged the Board to consider approving the
proposal. She expressed concerns relative to increased crime
rates, bankruptcy and foreclosure linked to lenders.
Ms. Emma Mehrabi urged the Board to approve the proposed
ordinance. She expressed concerns relative to predatory
lenders within communities.
Rabbi Ben Romer recommended that the Board approve the policy
regulating alternative financial institutions.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau stated the county cannot prohibit the use
of alternative financial institutions.
Mr. Brennen Keene, representing TitleMax of Virginia, stated
his client supported the policy as it was presented to the
Planning Commission, which included a 2,000 foot distance. He
noted, after further review from staff, precious metal
dealers can obtain their permit through the Police
Department. He expressed concerns on the impact made by
precious metal dealers relative to the proposed policy. He
urged the Board to revisit portions of the policy as it
relates to precious metal dealers.
Mr. Tom Gallagher, President and CEO of Richmond Better
Business Bureau, urged the Board to approve the proposal.
No one else came forward to speak to the issue.

Mr. Gecker recommended that the Board defer the matter for a
period of time due to apparent controversy. He stated the
Board does not have the authority to prohibit alternative
financial institutions. He noted the county is entitled under
State Code to regulate land uses. He stated AFI's have an
adverse impact on land use basis for the community, correlate
with a reduction in real estate values, an increase in crime
and are an indicator of social decline in neighborhoods. He
suggested that the Board wait to see if any additional
authority comes from the General Assembly relative to the
issue before making a final decision.
Mr. Holland concurred with Mr. Gecker's suggestion to defer
the issue. He stressed the importance of financial education
in schools and stated the Board has an obligation to
communities who are potentially at risk to predatory lending.
He commended the Planning Commission and staff for their
thorough proposal.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Gecker stated his
recommendation would be to defer the policy and ordinance.
Ms. Jaeckle also stressed the importance of financial
education. She stated the Board has the authority to regulate
land uses.
Mr. Gecker made a motion, seconded by Mr. Holland, for the
Board to defer consideration of amendments to Chapter 19 of
the County Code and adoption of a policy regulating
alternative financial institutions until April 10, 2013.
Ayes: Jaeckle, Elswick, Warren, Holland and Gecker.
Nays: None.
