Mrs. Girone stated she represented %-he Board at the Extension Service Advisory Ce~u~ittee meeting, at which there was discus- sion of the successful citizen participation in the Hazardous Waste Day event and that the County consider conducting this event annually and funding it from the landfill budget; she stated there was also discussion that the Extension Service Office may assume the responsibility of maintaining a civic association list since there is no centralized location within the Courthouse that provides this service and these organizations actively participate in many aspects of County goverrument. She stated she represented the Board on the Transportation Safety Commission, at which the maintenance problems and budget allocations for Safety Town were discussed. Mrs. Girone stated she attended the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission (RRPDC) meeting, at which new goals and objectives were approved and where the concept of having a computer system which would retain the data for the economic development of the entire region was discussed but there is concern about a conflict with MEDC, a duplication to the RR9DC of services and a major increase in the allocation. Mr. Daniel stated that Henrico was divided on this issue, but the other jurisdictions unanimously supported the change and the issue is one of very deep concern to the rural counties in the Commission. He stated these counties feel very strongly that the Commission as such should go on record for moving in that direction. He stated it is all going to come down to money and ultimately how much money each of the governments are willing to contribute to whatever the goals are or the specific programs that meet those goals. There was additional discussion as to the amount of square footage available, the overlap with M~DC, a duplication cf data base services, etc. Mr. Daniel stated these are details that have to be worked out; but the thrust of the issue has come from many parts of the country where governments collectively are pooling information and not RRPDCo Mrs. Gircne stated she and Colonel Mayee attended the Virginia 86-878 State University Chesterfield Day and requested that the County Administration assist the college next year and make the occasion more of an event. She stated she attended the dedication of the Providence Elementary School where Dr. Sullins, in his speech, stated he is compiling a new list of needs such as schools, etc. Mr. Daniel stated he felt the School administration should let the Board and staff officially know what is being planned, as he has heard some information which concerns him.

Mr. Mayes stated he attended the Chesterfield County Community Services Board meeting and praised the group for a fine presentation; represented the Board at a meeting of concerned citizens at which the issue of clean water in the County and State was discussed and expressed a desire that Board members attend such meetings, as there is a problem which will have to be addressed; attended a meeting of concerned citizens, staff and developers regarding the Glebe Points Subdivision rezoning, at which a compromise was reached regarding the lot ~izes and other development issues; attended a meeting with ~r. Hammer and Mr. Ramsay concerning the development of a formula for the equitable distribution of resources for which a list of priorities in the Matoaea District will be provided shortly; and he and Mrs. Girene attended the Virginia State University Chesterfield County Day and stated the University is in Chesterfield and all should be more concerned with their activities. Mr. Dani%l stated he attended several of the same meetings as other members of the Board (i.e., the Capital Region Airport Co~i~sion, Richmond Regional Planning District Commission, Virginia Power, etc.); represented the Chairman at a dinner for the Crime Solvers Program, a program from which the County has derived tremendous benefit and is a tremendous asset to the region; and represented the County at the Chamber of Commerce reception for the grand opening of the Convention Center. Mr. Daniel suggested the Board recognize those men~bers of Chesterfield County who participate in the Crime Solvers Program with an appropriate resolution for the tremendous job they perform. Mr. Dodd stated the Crime Solvers and Community Watch Programs have been most effective throuqhout the County and deserve recognition. Mr. Dodd stated he had been out of town for a ~hort period of time; however, he did attend a meeting with staff, Mr. Bedrick and the Business Council regarding development and planning at which there was discussion concerning how best to get good quality plans and make things flow as smooth as possible ~or the County. He stated he felt involvement with the Business 86-B79 Council is positive, as it is a check and balance on County operations and provides good feedback. He stated he would hope that ~teff would continue to relate to the Business Council in this manner. Mr. Hedrick commented that the news media was recognized at the Crime Solvers Program dinner, as their support and a~sistanee with the program has been most beneficial, R~Q~3ESTS TO POST~ONE ACTION, E~I~ICY A~DITIONB O1~ C~%NGE$ IN T~ ORDER OF P~ESENTATION On motion of Mr. Daniel, seconded by Mr. Applegate, the Board moved Item ll.A., Presentation from City of Richmond Mr. William Leidinger, to the first item on the agenda; added Item ll.N., Executive Session pursuant to Section 2.1-344 (a) (6) of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended for consultation with legal counsel pertaining to H__~ versus the Board ~f ~u~so~s and consultation with counsel and staff regarding an environmental matter; deferred Item 9.D., Chesterfield's Contribution to the Metropolitan ~conomic Development Council, until 2:00 p.m. on the agenda; added Item ll.J.l.b., Extension of Water Service from Route 10 to Bdenshire Subdivision, and changed Item ll.J.l., Public Hearing to Consider an Ordinance to Va0ate an 8 Foot Basement Across Lot 2~ Block B, Country Home Estates, ~eetion 1 to ll.J.l.a.; and adopted the agenda, as amended. ll.A.

NEW POSITIONS ~OR THE ASSESSOR, LICENSE INSPECTOR AND COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE Mr. Eammer stated recent increases in workloads, resulting from commercial and residential growth since adoption of the FY 1986-87 budget, have caused staff to request the addition of four appraisers in the A~essor's Office, one deputy inspector in the License Inspector's Office and one auditor/assessor in the Commissioner of Revenue's Office. Ee stated funding for these positions will come from additional revenues generated in business license, personal property and real estate tax revenues. Re stated this item was deferred from the October 22, 1986 meeting in order to provide the Beard with additional information on the revenue impact. Mr. Daniel stated stafffs report documented the revenue that would be realized from the addition of these positions and the cost and the revenue that is lost more than offsets the costs. On motion of Mr. Daniel, seconded by Mr. Mayes, the Board approved the addition of new positions (four [4] apprai~er~ for the Assessor's Office, one [1] deputy inspector ~or the License 86-881 Inspector's Office and one [1] auditor/assessor for the Commissione~ of Revenue's Office) and related costs and appropriated $167,800 in additional revenue to £und these po~itions, which funding will be generated from real e~tate (current and delinquent), personal property and business license taxes, as follows: (a) business license by $40,000, (b) vehicle license by $35,000, (¢) personal property by $67,400, and (d) real estate by $250,000; and further the Board approved thc expenditure to fund the positions cited in the paper for $33,000., $15,400. and $119,400., respectively~ against the 1986-87 budget. 9.B. UTILITY ~XT~NSION/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Mr. Sale presented a brief explanation of the proposed guidelines for operationalizing Sections 20-1.31(o) and 20-1.44(c) of the Code regarding the provision cf utility extensions for economic development. ~e stated Chapter 20 of the County Code recognizes that it is in the interest of County residents that County government actively encourage economic development in order to provide both an expanding job opportunity base as well as a tax base relying increasingly on industrial property rather than residential property. He stated one means by which economic development could be more strongly encouraged would be through the County's financial participation in the extension cf ~ewer and/or water lines designed to serve industrial users. He stated staff's proposal is that th~ County annually include in it~ Capital Improvement Program an amount from the General Fund to be used to extend sewer and/or water lines to service potential industrial users under certain conditions, those conditions being as follows: 1. The project developer agrees to match the County contribution on a three-dollar County:one dollar developer ratio; 2. The estimated increased property tax revenue above tax revenue that would be received if the property developed low density residentially will of£set the County's cost of utility extension within three (3) years of issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy; 3. The project developer agrees to po~t a performance bond to repay County costs for utility extension if the proposed industrial development does not occur as p~opo~ed within two (2) years and resultant tan revenue does not occur within three (3) years of issuance of Certificate of Occupancy; and 4. The eligible economic development users include all uses permitted in the M-i, M-2 and M-3 zoning districts except mobile homes and professional offices. Mr. Hedrick stated the concept is that there would be an escrow fund established and considered annually, at budget time, in which a certain amount of money would be set aside from the General Fund to reimburse Utilities and would be used by the Economic Development Program for these projects; however, it is not recommended nor anticipated that the revenue from those individual projects would ilcw back into the escrow fund - that money, whatever revenue was derived as a result of the benefits of the program, would simply go into the General Fund and be considered as a part of all the resources available for allocation. Mrs. Girone questioned why the entire issue cannot be handled from within the Utility budget, with a certain portion set aside each year fc~ these types of projects. Mr. aedrick stated that is a policy decision for the Board's consideration. There was 86-882 some discussion of escrow funds, this being a mechanism for attracting economic development tkat would have a quick payback over a reasonabls psrlod of time, etc. Mr. Mayes stated he felt a work ~esslon on this issue would be most beneficial. Mrs. Girone stated the felt another work session is necessary to discuss the $3:$1 developer ratio and other aspects of this issue and suggested dsfs~ral until the January 14, 1987 meeting. After further discussion of an acceptable date and time for the work session, it was on motion of Mr. Daniel, seconded by Mr. Mayes, resolved that this matter be deferred until December 10, 1986, at which time a date and time for a work session would be scheduled. 9.C.

NEW BUSINESS ii.B. SEC DATE FOR WORK SESSION WITS LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION TO DISCUSS 1987 LEGISLATIV~ PROGR~.M Mr. Daniel stated legislation should be considered that discusses growth counties such as Chesterfield that have a tremendous amount of money which is in Capital Improvements for Education and that this be considered in the reporting of expenditures per pupil. He stated the million~ of dollars that Chesterfield County contribute~ is not considered in the cost per pupil but is paid by every taxpaye~ and getting such a statement into the funding formula is important. He stated a bill that requires the reportin~ of expenditures per pupil, including all expenditures, should be introduced because the cost of building a school should be included in the cost per pupil data. Mr. Applegate requested that legislation be introduced that would distinguish between sanitary landfills and debri~ landfills (stump dumps) as the County is confronted with a situation because of its growth in that the contractore now have no place to take the debris when they clear residential lots and the State does not make a distinction between such landfills at this time. The Board set December 10, 1986, at 5:00 p.m., as the date for a dinner meeting at Magnolia Grange with the Chesterfield County Legislative Delegation to di~cus~ the 1987 legislative proqram, and that the discussions include a request to consider a mechanism for growth Counties which have a tremendous amount of money in Capital Improvements for Education, with a change in the reporting mechanism of expenditures per pupil, and establish a distinction between sanitary landfills and debris landfills. 11.~, ~IRE DEPARTMENT ITEMS ll.C.1.

Mrs. Girone expressed concerns regardinq the amount for the loss 86-884 of life coverage and disability income coverage as being inadequate. Chief Eanes stated the amount of $30,000 is the coverage for ~he County's policy and is in addition to $50,000 Federal insurance and $10,000 State insurance that would be awarded in %he event a volunteer firefigbter should lose his life while combating a fire or handling an emergency situation. With respect to the disability income coverage, Chief Eanes stated the $250 weekly indemnity for disability due to heart and circulatory malfunctions is very reasonable and further pointed out that some of the volunteer fire companies, as a rider to this partlcnlar policy, have added additional benefits to the program. Mrs. Girone stated the Board approved a coverage update several months ago and questioned the effective date. Mr. Hedrlck stated this is for renewal and will go into e££ect ima~ediately. Ee stated these are the rates that are being quoted by the insurance carrier at the present time; however, there are no quaranteee as to what the rates will be next year. 5e stated there has been a six month delay since the time the Board initially considered this issue because the coverage, at that time, was not co~ercially available; however, a carrier has now been found.

Ne stated the ~non Volunteer Fire Department is the the center of the core,unity as it serves as t~he focal point for elections, civic and other association meetings, etc., and the paving of the entire lot, rather than a portion, would be an asset to the community. On motion of Mr. Dodd, seconded by Mr. Mayas, the Board approved the paving of the parking lot at Company %6, Enon Volunteer Fire Department and appropriated $5,500 from the Bermuda District Three Cent Road Funds and $5,500 from the General Fund Contingency Account for said paving.

He stated the proposed ordinance amendment would permit these owners to submit revalidation form by December 5, 1986, upon payment of a late fee, and avoid a fair market value assessment for the tax year. Mr. Daniel stated he would support the matter as long as it pertained to revalidation applications only. Mr. Mayss expressed concern that property owners may not receive notification through the mail in a timely manner and stated he felt the County should be responsible for notifying participants 86-886 in the program by certified letter. Mr. Diggs stated there is nO requirement for the County to notify property owners by mail and such notification is a courtesy extended to them by the County. Mr. Daniel stated he did not feel the County should be responsible for notifying citizens by certified mail regarding this matter as it would set a precedent for other situations.
