the customer feedback has been extremely positive. She
further stated applying for permits online is an item for
future review.

every permit that is applied for is approved. She further
stated if the application is submitted through the normal
process the applicant will find out in about three days
whether or not it is approved. She stated with the Walk-Thru

available to help if there is a problem with the submittal.

in terms of the balanced scorecard, staff is looking at
internal functions and processes; customers; financial
stability of the organization; long term growth of the
organization; and long term health of the organization. He

The following item was pulled from the Consent Agenda for
Board comment:
8.B.l.C. DECLARING CHESTERFIELD COUNTY A RECOVERY ZONE UNDER
THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009
AND APPROVAL OF PROJECTS TO BE FINANCED WITH
RECOVERY ZONE BONDS
Mr. Gecker stated he realizes the state put a short timeframe
on when the information is due.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Carmody stated the
county has to submit the defined project information to the
state. He further stated the requirement of the Governor's
Executive Order is to identify a project so if the Board
wanted to redefine the project, the decision would have to be
made today.
Mr. Gecker stated he does not want to redefine the order. He
further stated the state could change the specifics and allow
the localities to swap project for project if the first
project does not come to fruition.
Mr. Carmody stated another alternative is the reallocation
process as the state sees who is submitting the verification
reports and reviews the total allocation for the
Commonwealth. He further stated at that time the state will
redistribute the underutilized allocations.
Discussion ensued relating to the Board placing a deadline
for progress of the project designated for the private sector
activity bonds.
Ms. Durfee stated the Board has not had ample discussions
regarding the Recovery Zone Bonds.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Carmody stated the
Executive Order requires the county to identify the project.
He further stated adoption of the resolution is not
authorizing the issuance of any debt for the county nor is it
authorizing private sector debt.
Ms. Durfee stated it is difficult to make a decision on this
with the short amount of time the Board has been aware of it.
She further stated she understands the importance of the
ability for the county to have the opportunity but she is
09-711
12/02/09
unsure if the county has not had the opportunity to look at
other potential projects that may or may not factor into the
issue. She stated the Board has not had enough time to
really have a discussion on the Recovery Zone Bonds and the
potential projects.
Mr. Stegmaier stated the Recovery Zone Bonds are part of the
federal stimulus package. He further stated the Governor's
office issued an Executive Order defining the process. He
stated the Department of Economic Development reviewed
projects in process in the private sector to find projects
which would qualify for the bonds . He further stated it is
important to keep in mind that the entity that would use
these bonds would have to be credit worthy to be able to
convince an investor to invest in the company. He stated the
actual dollar and cents benefit to the company that might
want to use the private activity bonds is fairly limited. He
further stated there is a chance the project selected may not
qualify for the bonds because the developer may not have the
credit worthiness to sell the bonds to entice investors. He
stated Mr. Gecker is suggesting leaving open the opportunity
to continue looking for other projects which might come along
in the future and if an issue arises then the county would go
back to the Governor and request some flexibility.
Mr. Holland stated he is not comfortable leaving the options
wide open for the Recovery Zone Bonds.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Carmody stated the
Executive Order requires the county to identify which
projects would be able to use the private sector bonds. He
further stated there is not a statement in the Executive
Order on what to do if things change with the specific
project .
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Carmody stated it
would be difficult to obtain the clarity from the Governor's
office concerning what to do if there were changes with the
selected project. He further stated the eligible expenses
are defined in the Stimulus Act as the creation of jobs for
the private activity bonds.
Ms. Durfee expressed concerns relating to the lack of a
briefing from the Department of Economic Development as to
why this particular private project was selected.
Mr. Stegmaier stated the Executive Order is from a Governor
who is not going to be in office in a few weeks.
Ms. Durfee stated someone should be able to explain if the
language allows for any flexibility up until March 15, 2010.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated as
the language reads in the Executive Order, the county has to
designate a particular project which the bonds would be
allocated. He further stated there are two different kinds
of bonds, one is a bond that can be used for public
infrastructure and one is a private activity bond which goes
to a job creating private activity.
Mr. Carmody stated the SportsQuest project will have onsite
infrastructure improvements.

Mr. Gecker stated something has to be submitted to the
Governor's office by December 15th. He further stated if the
Board does not act on this resolution, the county will lose
the ability to make this allocation. He stated the
Department of Economic Development reviewed possible projects
in the county and the only project which met the criteria and
could use these particular bonds is SportsQuest. He further
stated he does not want the county to retain the flexibility
to make changes in the allocation between now and March 15,
2010 because that would prohibit the project from gaining the
financial backing it needs for the bonds.. He stated he was
suggesting having SportsQuest understand if they have not
functioned by March 15, 2010, the allocation was subject to
being revisited by the Board, but not beforehand.
On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, the Board
adopted the following resolution:

shelter.

12/02/09
Ms. Yvonne Royster urged the Board to join into a partnership
with the Richmond SPCA and RAL to assist with making the
animal shelter a no-kill shelter.
Ms. Jo-De Davis, a Clover Hill District resident, urged the
Board to reinstate the volunteer program at the animal
shelter and to join into a partnership with the Richmond SPCA
and RAL.
Ms. Sheila Kenny, a volunteer for a rescue transport
organization, stated her organization does not work with the
Chesterfield Animal Shelter because it is not adoption
friendly and is considered a high-kill shelter.
Mr. Stegmaier expressed appreciation to all of the speakers.
He stated he has had a number of conversations in recent
weeks with the Executive Director and the Chairman of the
Board of the Richmond SPCA as well as the leadership of
Richmond Animal League. He further stated he has scheduled a
meeting with the Executive Director and the Chairman of the
Board of the SPCA for December 7, 2009, to facilitate getting
a formal proposal from the organization. He stated he will
be meeting with the leadership from Richmond Animal League
later in December. He further stated the Police Department
has been working on developing options to achieve 100 percent
spay and neuter in the shelter. He stated the proposal will
be brought before the Board in the future. He further stated
it is staff's intention to move forward on the implementation
of a no-kill policy for healthy adoptable animals. He stated
the animal shelter has an outstanding record in terms of the
percentage of animals that are brought to the shelter that
are adopted. He further stated the county needs to adopt a
procedure for classifying animals which will help
significantly in the numbers of adopted animals.
Ms. Jaeckle stated Chesterfield County is not the only
shelter in the surrounding localities that euthanizes
animals. She further stated she has been working hard to try
to understand what no-kill means and the statistics show that
the City of Richmond has euthanized 1,446 animals compared to
the county at 1,351 animals.
Mr. Warren stated the figures received by the Board are quite
revealing.
Mr. Stegmaier stated the City of Richmond and Hanover County
have a strict classification system in place and they do
euthanize animals but not the healthy adoptable animals.
Ms. Durfee stated the Board is still in the discussion stage
of the process. She further stated Mr. Stegmaier is meeting
with the SPCA and RAL and will present the information to the
Board.
In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Stegmaier stated
there will be different timeframes on the different pieces.
He further stated when the City of Richmond adopted a no-kill
policy, it took them over a year before they were achieving
the goal of no-kill on all healthy adoptable animals. He
stated staff will be bringing forward to the Board
recommendations. He further stated he has not received a
formal proposal from the SPCA or RAL on the partnerships. He
stated he has not given a deadline to the organizations but

has scheduled meetings in which the SPCA indicated they will
have a proposal at that time. He further stated it could
take anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months to bring
a proposal to the Board.
u
Mr. Holland stated he is looking forward to the proposal by
the County Administrator. He further stated he has always
been a strong proponent of citizens' involvement.
Ms. Durfee stated the Board has had conversations about the
animal shelter and the proposals which have been brought
forward. She further stated she is hopeful that the county
will not miss any opportunities to work with the citizenry
and partners to make the county a better place.
In response to Mr. Warren's inquiry, Lt. Col. Austin stated
there are currently 24 people in the volunteer program who
have given over 7,500 hours. He further stated if someone
wants to volunteer they can contact the Ms. Carol Maxwell,
the Volunteer Coordinator within the Police Department.
