8.A.2. ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY TO
REQUEST THE CIRCUIT COURT TO ORDER A SPECIAL ELECTION
TO CONSIDER ADOPTING A MEALS TAX IN ORDER TO ADDRESS
THE PUBLIC EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SAFETY CAPITAL NEEDS
OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
Mr. Carmody stated the proposal requests authorization of a
resolution that would begin a process that would ultimately
ask the voters whether or not they would consider the
imposition of a meals tax that would directly support the
financial costs associated with the revitalization of school
facilities and the replacements of the public safety radio
system. He further stated if the proposal is approved by
voters in November, the Board of Supervisors would then have
to adopt an ordinance to actually enact the tax and determine
the rate, which has a maximum permissible level of four
percent.
Mr. Holland made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the
Board to adopt a resolution authorizing the county to request
the Circuit Court to order a special election to consider
adopting a meals tax in order to address the public education
and public safety capital needs of Chesterfield County.
Mr. Elswick stressed the importance of addressing the issues
of revitalization of county schools and pupil/teacher ratio
as a part of the meals tax. He stated the meals tax will
diversify the county's revenue portfolio.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Mincks stated the
resolution includes meeting capital needs. He further stated
addressing pupil/teacher ratio would entail operational
expenses. He noted a substitute motion could be made to
change the resolution. He stated the motion before. the Board
13-253
04/24/13
deals with capital needs and would not be inclusive of
operational expenses such as pupil/teacher ratio.
Mr. Gecker expressed concerns relative to binding the use of
funds once those funds are appropriated to the School
division. He stated by November, those projects that are
deemed a priority should be well identified and publicized
and will be funded by the bonds that are supported by the
meals tax increase. He noted he has been pushing for a change
to PTR for some time.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to tying a meals tax
to operational expenditures. She stressed that the importance
of the meals tax would support the bonding of specific
projects. She noted a sunshine clause could be enforced in
the future in order to accelerate bond payments.
Mr. Elswick stated the School Board and the Board of
Supervisors need to be in full agreement relative to where
funds are allocated for future projects.
Mr. Holland stressed the importance of authorizing the
proposed resolution to address capital needs within the
School division. He urged the Board to move forward with the
adoption of the resolution as presented.
Mr. Warren stated the Board members need to be united on the
issue of the bond referendum. He further stated it is vital
that the School Board and Board of Supervisors be in absolute
unison on the issue. He noted he believes Mr. Elswick's
position regarding PTR and priorities is strong and needs to
be addressed in the future. He stated the information that
goes before the public needs to be simple and clear and not
complicated with additional issues that may cause a split
vote.
Mr. Elswick stated he is in full support of the meals tax,
but would like to address the issue of PTR in the future.
Mr. Holland stressed the importance of a clear and simple
message to the voters.
Ms. Jaeckle called for a vote on the motion made by Mr.
Holland, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to adopt the
following resolution authorizing the county to request the

10. FIFTEEN-MINUTE CITIZEN COMMENT PERIOD ON UNSCHEDULED
MATTERS
There were no requests to address the Board at this time.
The following item was moved to the end of the afternoon
agenda to follow Item 10.:
6. WORK SESSIONS
6.A. INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING/PROFFERS
Mr. Louis Lassiter presented a summary of the Citizen
Infrastructure Financing Team recommendations. He stated the
County Administrator tasked five appointed citizens, Mr. Dave
Anderson, Ms. Terri Cofer Beirne, Mr. Paul Grasewicz, Mr.
Michael Jackson and Mr. William Woodfin, to make
recommendations relative to infrastructure financing options.
(It is noted Mr. Jackson joined the Work Session via
teleconference.) He further stated the purpose of the
committee was to provide an independent report to the Board
of Supervisors on the current cash proffer system. He
summarized the goal of the committee was to provide a fair
and equitable system to address infrastructure needs of the
community; the system should be competitive with other
jurisdictions; and the system should be clearly understood by
the public and a trusted model to follow for the future. He
stated in total the team met for 15 hours and spent numerous
hours outside of meetings digesting volumes of information.
He further stated cash proffers provide 21 percent of the
funding for eligible projects in the FY2014-FY2018 CIP. He
noted cash proffers have funded 95 projects, including: the
Route 10 and Route 60 widening projects; Midlothian Middle
School; the Chester Library; Lake Chesdin Park and the
Courthouse Fire Station. He summarized the recommendations of
the committee, which include: keeping the current policy for
developers to pay their fair share of capital facilities
costs to serve development, but amend certain aspects;
establish $11,873 as the Board FY2014 approved maximum amount
for all new residential rezoning; amend the policy to make
$11,873 the permanent amount, adjusted annually for
inflation; reduce the school portion for one- and two-
bedroom apartments and condos from $7,142 to $3,571 making
$8,302 the FY2014 maximum for these units; and all other
13-267
04/24/13
aspects of the current policy should remain in effect. He
then summarized the recommendations of Ms. Beirne and Mr.
Anderson, which include: identifying funding sources to
replace cash proffer revenue and eliminate cash proffers; no
retroactive application of new cash proffer policy;
permanence of a cash proffer amount unrealistic; continuing
the policy of growth paying for itself using existing county
tools to impose site-specific voluntary cash and non-cash
conditions; and consider impacts of differential proffers
upon goal of a publicly understood and trusted system. In
conclusion, he stated staff would anticipate, if the Board so
chooses, this could be taken up at the May 22nd Board of
Supervisors meeting.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Anderson stated by
lowering cash proffers, small residential cases are
incentivized, since their real impacts are limited to a
payment of cash proffers instead of a negotiated capital
improvement tied to actual level of service. He further
stated these smaller cases create the burden on services
since they are rarely mixed use and are typically larger lot
subdivisions, increasing the infrastructure cost. He stated
the implementation of establishing a cash proffer amount is
that the developer who pays them is deemed to satisfy their
impact on public facilities.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question relative to schools,
Mr. Woodfin stated by looking at the issue from a public
policy perspective, it needs to be recognized that by doing
away with proffers it creates a $5-6 million dollar hole in
the county's budget. He noted the committee did not have an
elaborate amount of time to look at different funding
scenarios. He stated, in his opinion, it was difficult to
look at eliminating proffers without having a policy to
address the budget shortfall.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the purpose of proffers is to mitigate
impacts. She further stated the county has changed from a
purely suburban community to a more populated inter-ring. She
stated she was looking in the infrastructure study to see how
the county has changed since the policy was first instituted.
Mr. Woodfin stated he recognizes that the county has evolved
and believes the proposal illustrates a reasonable
compromise. He further stated the citizens want some
recognition relative to tradeoff of paying for services and
infrastructure.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Anderson stated he
believes every zoning case needs to stand and fall on its own
merits and smaller zoning cases create an undue burden on
services. He stated a reduced permanent proffer amount would
put a greater burden on the county leadership. He stated the
committee recommends no retroactive application of a new cash
proffer policy.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Anderson stated
there are areas within the county that should not be
developed now or in the immediate future. He further stated
there are a tremendous number of properties that have been
zoned that are overburdened because infrastructure is already
in place and those developments are styled for an incredible
amount of larger lot subdivisions.

In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Grasewicz stated
Virginia is the only state that implements cash proffers
focusing on residential rezoning. He further stated 26 states
have an Impact Fee Authority, which is charged to each new
residential property when the developer applies for a
building permit, whether it is rezoned or not. He stated cash
proffers are required in several localities throughout
Virginia to mitigate impacts on public facilities. He further
stated Chesterfield County has traditionally been open to
residential development and the current Comprehensive Plan
that was adopted recommends 105,000 acres of property for
residential development. He stated the committee's strategy
was to reduce the cash proffer to make it more reasonable,
while still having the developers pay their fair share. He
further stated the decrease would come exclusively from the
amount currently included to cover the cost of road
improvements related to new housing developments. He noted in
the policy there is flexibility to accept land and capital
facilities as a credit towards cash proffers.
Mr. Holland expressed appreciation to the committee for its
informative reports in relation to cash proffers. He stated
the process was essential in order to reevaluate the policy
and make informed decisions relative to the present time.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Grasewicz stated
the committee's concept was to establish an amount that
addresses capital facilities and a portion of road needs and
raise the amount for inflation if future Boards deem that
choice necessary.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question relative to
transportation, Mr. Grasewicz stated a focus should be placed
on growth and then from that focus, a secondary road
improvement plan structured accordingly, due to said growth.
Mr. Gecker noted the original cash proffer system was
prosperous to the homebuilding community. He stated at the
time when proffers were actually calculated was years before
the developments were built, which were lost due to
inflation. He further stated because rezonings are so
disperse throughout the southern and western portions of the
county, a road network cannot be established. He inquired on
how the committee honed their focus on specific portions,
such as transportation and schools.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Grasewicz stated
the state highway system is responsible for the construction,
improvements and maintenance of roads. He further stated
changes in state funding for road construction and
maintenance will mean that the county will pay less in the
future for other projects.
Ms. Beirne stated she came onto the committee with no
preconceived notions about proffers and believed impacts
should be alleviated by developers. She further stated she
came to the conclusion that the county already has the tools
necessary to impose site-specific cash and non-cash
conditions upon rezonings, independent of a cash proffer
policy. She stated cash proffers served a valuable function
during a time of unmanageable growth in the county, but in
her opinion, "voluntary" cash proffers have outlived their
usefulness. In regards to the road proffers, she stated the
reduction offers a more reasonable amount while not affecting
other capital facilities. She expressed concerns relative to
the efficacy of differential proffers.
13-269
04/24/13
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Ms. Beirne stated she
does not recommend raising taxes to cover the loss of revenue
generated by cash proffers, but believes the county should
identify. another revenue source and eliminate the current
cash proffer system.
Mr. Jackson stated he believes the committee has provided a
reasonable recommendation regarding modifications to the cash
proffer policy. He stated the consensus among committee
members was to find ways to discover an alternative revenue
source without eliminating cash proffers completely.
Mr. Holland stressed the importance of state funding for road
construction and maintenance.
Mr. Jackson stated he would not be opposed to the careful
consideration for allowing the General Assembly
transportation funding modifications to take effect before
making a final decision relative to the cash proffer policy.
Ms. Jaeckle stated she agrees that revenue replacement is a
challenge and an issue; however, she believes the committee's
purpose was to look at proffer system and how it has changed
since the time it was developed. She stated the county has a
slowing population growth, changing demographics and
projected negative growth in the school population projected
for the next ten years.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question relative to the number
of children per household over an extended time period, Mr.
Jackson stated growth was not steepened by using cash
proffers.
Mr. Woodfin recommended that developers use their collective
resources to pay for county roads. He stated there are lots
of variables in the policy and proffer system that should
continue to be used. He further stated the Comprehensive Plan
is a good and fair plan that encourages growth within the
county.
Ms. Jaeckle stated she was hopeful that the committee's
recommendation would reflect the county's Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Woodfin stated the final recommendation was an angulation
of several proposals that were laid in front of the
committee. He urged the Board to read each proposal to
provide insight into the process.
Mr. Grasewicz stated he believes the committee's
recommendations do reflect the Comprehensive Plan. He further
stated the county could have a very strong growth management
plan that would strictly limit development, and there would
not be a capital facilities impact. He stated the
recommendations continue to accommodate residential
development in the county.
Mr. Anderson stated when the subsequent Comprehensive Plan
was adopted, he questioned whether any type of fiscal
analysis was done on what the build-out would look like
financially and how it would likely be a burden on county
taxpayers.
