Ms. Jaeckle suggested that the CDBG grants have an action
plan incorporated in their grant funding.
Mr. Gecker stated it would be helpful if Mr. Jacobson
prepared a list of the committee's recommendations which
would most benefit the community. He further stated the
county has already begun pro-active code enforcement and
major corridor beautification under Mr. Jacobson's guidance
on Route 60 and Jefferson Davis Highway. He suggested that
any recommendations which would have broad countywide
applicability and something the Board should review, be
communicated with Mr. Stegmaier and added to the County
Administrator's Reports.
Ms. Jaeckle suggested the Sustain Our Communities Committee
look into foreclosures in the community and research how the
county can work to keep this problem from getting out of
hand.
Mr. Jacobson stated the committee receives reports every
month on foreclosures throughout the county. He further
stated he met with the Sheriff's Office to gather data which
could be helpful to know which neighborhoods are having
evictions due to foreclosures and assist the code enforcement
departments.

effort put into the report by the committee.

enforcement, and future meetings are planned. He further
stated schools are a vital part of the community and an

not been identified. He stated one of the goals of the
committee this year is to invite every School Board member to

needs of the committee. He further stated the committee has
not been able to meet with Schools staff, but is working on

School Board has a big challenge and their number one goal is
to provide quality education to the students, indicating that
the goal is getting tougher to do with less money. He
further stated everyone is being forced to adapt to financial
changes. He stated schools need to be an active part of the
community. He further stated there is riot enough interaction
between the schools and the communities. He stated the
committee can identify appropriate actions and help schools
work with the communities in which they are located.

Chairman of the Board assist the committee with meeting with
the School Board to work towards their goals. He stated
action needs to be taken to complete the projects. He
further stated he would like to see changes made along Hull
Street and Hopkins Roads.
Mr. Thorp stated the committee has received excellent
cooperation from the Police Department. He further stated
three roadblocks have been set up along Hopkins Road which
have caught over 50 unlicensed drivers operating vehicles.
Mr. Holland stated the projected $20 million in revenue from
revitalized properties in the county needs to be taken
seriously by the Board. He requested that the Board receive
a prioritized list of projects ranked by order of importance
and action plans in place as to when they will be completed.
Mr. Durfee stated she and Mr. Rajah have participated in the
Ettrick Clean-Up in the community. She suggested the
committee contact each School Board member to see what they
have done or what they are willing to do with their elected
or appointed officials in their district.

between Schools and the committee.

project on Jefferson Davis Highway. She further stated the

together. She stated the School Resource Officers use the

6. WORK SESSIONS
6.A. REVIEW 2010 GENERAL ASSEMBLY LEGISLATION
Mr. Mincks summarized 2010 General Assembly legislative
changes requiring Board action, as well as optional
legislative changes permitting Board action, and- provided
staff's recommendations for the legislative changes.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's questions, Mr. Mincks stated a
temporary family health care structure would be allowed by
right, but there would be a permitting process to ensure all
development standards are met.
On motion of Mr. Holland, seconded by Ms. Durfee, the Board
referred to the Planning Commission for recommendation the
legislative changes relative to: amending the County Code a)
to permit a family subdivision for spouse of an immediate
family member of the property owner; b) to allow certain
assisted living/residential facilities licensed by the State
Department of Social Services as by right uses; and c) to
allow one "temporary family health care structure" on a
single family lot as a permitted accessory use.
And, further, the Board set public hearings to consider
ordinance amendments to amend the County Code a) to increase

6.B. ANNUAL REVIEW OF CASH PROFFER CALCULATIONS AND ADOPTION
OF A MAXIMUM CASH PROFFER AMOUNT PER DWELLING UNIT FOR
FY2011 AND CASH PROFFER POLICY CHANGES
u
u
Mr. Carmody provided a summary of results of the cash proffer
program. He stated approximately $526 million has been
proffered to date; $54.8 million has been collected; and
$44.3 million has been appropriated. He further stated more
than 42,000 lots have been created with cash proffers and
10,200 lots have paid cash proffers. He reviewed the annual
collection trends. He stated cash proffers comprise $19.6
million for the county/schools FY2011-FY2015 CIP. He
reviewed building permit activity throughout the county. He
stated the calculated cost of the impact of development
totals $25,901 per dwelling unit with the largest driver for
the increase being the decrease in the credit in the
calculation. He reviewed the proposed changes to the cash
proffer policy which will incorporate a state law enacted by
the 2010 General Assembly regarding the timing of cash
proffer payment.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Carmody stated
approximately 25 to 50 percent of the number of units or
number of zoning cases in Chesterfield County do not pay cash
proffers.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's questions, Mr. Carmody stated if
the cash proffer is adjusted downward using the Marshall and
Swift Cost Index, it would be $17,904 per dwelling unit. He
further stated the Board increased the cash proffer per
dwelling unit in FY2010 to reflect the increase in the
Marshal and Swift Cost Index from $18,080 to $18,966.
Ms. Jaeckle stated it is surprising the county would only
increase the cash proffer with the Marshall and Swift Cost
Index, but not decrease it.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Carmody stated the
seven cases which would decrease represent approximately
5,400 dwelling units, the largest being the Roseland case.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Carmody stated
approximately half of all the homes that have paid proffers
where done in the 1990s. He further stated the average cash
proffer payment received in 2009 is just under $10,000. He
stated the calculation presented to the Board is not affected
by the Marshall and Swift Cost Index because it is a
construction materials and activity inflation adjuster. He
further stated the information used for the calculation is
10-392
06/23/10
the county's actual cost that has been incurred over multiple
projects.
Mr. Gecker stated the total cost is also impacted by the
amount of state contribution for roads and it is interesting
that people believe the amount of the cash proffer is what it
would cost the county every time a house is built for public
facilities. He further stated there is no question the
model used for cash proffers has some logic to it although
the state forecast to contribute to roads is now closer to
zero than in the past. He stated what used to be considered
a state government expense has been shifted to the private
sector by reducing the credit amount to local governments.
Discussion ensued relative to the calculation used for the
cash proffer process and the amount of funding received from
the state.
Mr. Holland made a motion, seconded. by Mr. Gecker, for the
Board to adopt the FY2010 maximum cash proffer at the rate of
$18,966 per dwelling unit and the proposed changes to the
policy.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Gecker stated the
motion includes the proposed changes to the policy and the
maximum cash proffer amount.
Mr. Gecker called for a vote on the motion of Mr. Holland,
seconded by Mr. Gecker, for the Board to adopt the FY2010
maximum cash proffer at the rate of $18,966 per dwelling unit
and the proposed changes to the policy. (It is noted a copy
of the revised policy is filed with the papers of this
Board.)
Ayes: Gecker, Holland, Warren, and Durfee.
Nays: Jaeckle.
Ms. Durfee suggested that the Budget and Audit Committee
review the cash proffer policy since so many questions are
raised about it every year. She expressed concerns relative
to the gap in the amount approved for the cash proffers and
the actual cost to build facilities.

it would be best for the Budget and Audit Committee to review

relative information from other jurisdictions.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the differentiated cash proffers was a
topic brought up with the Comprehensive Plan consultants in
the beginning of the process.
Mr. Gecker stated. the calculation portion of the proffer
policy has been lost over the years to the public.. He

further stated the Marshall and Swift Cost Index has no place
in the calculation. He stated the calculated cost of
facilities went izp as opposed to the Marshall and Swift Cost
Index decreasing. He further stated reviewing recent history
of the cash proffer amounts shows approximately 75 percent of
services are being covered as a part of government policy.
He stated the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee should
review differentiated cash proffers to the extent they
believe the system should be used as an .incentive in specific
areas in which growth ought to be targeted.

Nays: None.
8.C.4. AUTHORIZATION TO REFER TO PLANNING COMMISSION
PROPOSED REDUCTIONS IN PLANNING FEES FOR CERTAIN
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES
Mr. Bob Schrum, the Government Relations Chair of the
Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce, requested the Board extend
the Planning Department fee holiday. He stated some people
have concerns that the fee holiday really did not spur
development in the county other than cell towers and LED
signs. He further stated some development projects may take
a while to get started. He stated extending the Planning fee
holiday would jumpstart Chesterfield's economy.
Mr. Holland stated it is important that the Board continue to
invest and work toward job creation in the county.
Mr. Holland then made a motion, seconded by Ms. Durfee, for
the Board to authorize staff to refer to the Planning
Commission proposed reductions in planning fees for certain
commercial activities and to direct the Planning Commission
to return a recommendation no later than August 17, 2010.
Ms. Durfee stated the original intent of the planning fee
holiday was to spur development in the county, but it has not
fulfilled that obligation and needs to be looked at further.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's concerns, Mr. Mincks stated this
item will allow the Planning Commission to review the entire
fee holiday program, not just the numbers.
Mr. Gecker stated he does not believe the planning fee
holiday has been a success. He expressed concerns relative
to allowing this program to continue, indicating that it
could be impossible to get rid of in the future. He stated
the only development which has been spurred by the fee
holiday has been cell towers and LED signs.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the planning fee holiday is different from
some government programs that get started and are hard to
discontinue.
Mr. Gecker stated he does not view the planning fee holiday
as an investment, but as a cost.
10-415
06/23/10
Ms. Durfee stated the Planning Commission should not be
limited with its review of the planning fee holiday.
Mr. Gecker called for a vote on the motion of Mr. Holland,

refer to the Planning Commission proposed reductions in
planning fees for certain commercial activities and to direct
the Planning Commission to return a recommendation no later
than August 17, 2010.

representing the Lakepointe Community Association, stated the
Certificate of Insurance has been taken care of and the
location of the fireworks will be on what is commonly known
as Goose Island.
On motion of Ms. Durfee, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board

amendment to allow columbaria as a restricted use in certain
districts and return a recommendation to the Board within 100
days.
Ayes: Gecker, Holland, Jaeckle, Warren, and Durfee.
Nays: None.
8.C.12. ELECTION TO CONTINUE TO PAY VRS MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS
FOR NEW EMPLOYEES HIRED ON OR AFTER JULY 1, 2010
Mr. Holland stated the Board needs to adopt the resolution to
pay VRS member contributions for new employees but also other
associated benefits need to be studied for all county
employees. He further stated the resolution could change
10-416
06/23/10
upon completion of a study of all benefits for county
employees.
Mr. Zaremba stated the General Assembly passed House Bill
1189 which created a weakened set of benefits for new hires
that start on or after July 1, 2010. He further stated local
governments were given an option to start charging five
percent of the retirement contribution to new employees.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Zaremba stated the
new plan design basically makes employees work longer for
their pension and the benefit formula is reduced.
Mr. Gecker stated the county has indicated that there would
be a second category for employees hired on or after July 1,
2010.
Ms. Jaeckle stated if the Board elected to have the new
employees pay the five percent to VRS, it would give the
county the flexibility to work on increasing the salaries of
all employees.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Zaremba stated the
county currently pays 15.06 percent of an employee's salary
and starting July 1, 2010, the county will pay .16.59 percent
of an employee's salary for VRS contributions.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the states that are having issues with
bankruptcy are the ones that are tied into retirement
benefits and this is an opportunity to give the county more
freedom.
Mr. Zaremba stated new state employees will have to pay the
five percent VRS contribution as well.
Mr. Holland stated a number of local governments have chosen
to pay the five percent VRS contribution for their new
employees.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Zaremba stated the
county could save approximately $370,000 per year if the
Board elected to have new employees pay the five percent.
Mr. Warren stated the county could theoretically shift the
savings to increasing the salaries of existing and future
employees.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Zaremba stated if
no action is taken on the resolution, a second group of
employees would be created starting July 1, 2010, which would
have less benefits.
Ms. Durfee expressed concerns relative to the county having
issues with salaries at the entry level being too low. She
stated she supported adoption of the resolution to pay the
five percent VRS contribution, but changes are going to have
to be made in the future. She suggested that the Budget and
Audit Committee study the salaries of county's employees.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Zaremba stated
many of the surrounding localities have not made a decision
on the resolution, but the majority have said they are going
to continue paying the employee portion of the VRS

contribution. He further stated he believes most of the
localities are taking a wait and see approach.
^i~
u
Mr. Stegmaier stated the City of Chesapeake will be requiring
new employees to pay the five percent contribution to VRS.
Ms. Durfee stated she supports moving forward with the
resolution and again suggested that the Budget and Audit
Committee study employees' salaries in the county.
Mr. Holland stated it would simplify the process in HRM if
the Board adopted the resolution to pay the five percent VRS.
contribution for new employees.
Ms. Durfee stated the VRS contributions will be an escalating
cost in the future for the county and no locality will be
able to sustain paying for it. She further stated the county
could study salaries over the next year and make changes
then.
Mr. Gecker stated the Board should take no action on the
resolution because of the potential that the escalating cost
of VRS will get to a point where the county cannot sustain
it. He further stated if the Board takes no action on the
resolution, it will allow the county to retain the
flexibility to provide compensation to our employees and
retain the attractiveness as an employer. He stated he hopes
the county plans to reinvest the savings back into
compensation. He further stated it is not healthy for the
employee base to be constantly faced with changes in benefits
packages.
Mr. Zaremba stated the Human Resources Department does not
believe taking no action on the resolution will impact the
county's ability to attract potential employees.
Mr. Gecker stated the contribution and benefit sides of VRS
have become a General Assembly political issue and the county
should not be held hostage to the General Assembly.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated
the Chesterfield School Board elected to pay new employees'
five percent contribution to VRS.
Mr. Zaremba stated the majority of school boards throughout
the state have elected to pay new employees' contribution to
VRS.
Ms. Durfee stated there is no way to know if taking no action
on this resolution will impact the county's attractiveness to
potential employees. She further stated she would like to
study the potential impact on the county's attractiveness as
an employer that taking no action will have.
Mr. Holland stated new employees are usually hired at the
lower end of the salary range, so taking no action on this
item will impact the county in the long term.
Mr. Warren stated he is not going to support adoption of the
resolution at this time and that he is encouraged to hear
that the Board is willing to shift the savings to existing
employees to offset the cost of living.
10-418
06/23/10
Ms. Jaeckle stated she will not support adoption of the
resolution.
Mr. Holland made a motion, seconded by Ms. Durfee, for the
Board to adopt a resolution to pay new employee member
contributions to VRS.
Ayes: Holland and Durfee.
Nays: Decker, Jaeckle, and Warren.
(It is noted the motion failed and the Board took no action
on the resolution.)
Mr. Decker stated this is a positive move on the part of the
Board for existing county employees. He further stated this
is an opportunity to adjust salaries of potential employees.

17.A. TO CONSIDER THE FY2011-FY2016 SECONDARY ROAD SIX-YEAR
2MPROVEMENT PLAN AND FY2011 SECONDARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT
BUDGET
Mr. Dupler stated this date and time had been advertised for
the Board to consider the FY2011-FY2016 Secondary Road Six-
Year Improvement Plan and FY2011 Secondary Road Improvement
Budget.
Mr. Gecker called for public comment.
Ms. Regina Whitstead, a Clover Hill Estates resident,
presented a petition with 135 signatures to have a traffic
device added at the Winterpock Road/Ashbrook Parkway/
McEnnally Road intersection. She stated the intersection has
become more dangerous with the surrounding development.
Mr. Bill Bush, a Clover Hill Estates resident, requested the
Board place funding into the Secondary Road Plan to place a
traffic signal at the Winterpock Road/Ashbrook Parkway/
McEnnally Road intersection.
There being no one else to address this issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Ms. Durfee stated this intersection has gotten worse since
the widening of McEnnally Road.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Dale Totten,
Residency Maintenance Manager at Virginia Department of
Transportation, stated a traffic signal is not warranted at
the intersection of McEnnally Road/Winterpock Road/Ashbrook
Parkway based on the criteria of the Manual of Uniform and
Traffic Control Devices. He further stated part of the
criteria is the amount of traffic on the side roads of an
intersection and this intersection does not meet that
criteria. He stated the through traffic on Winterpock Road
does not dictate the need for a traffic signal. He stated
the other end of McEnnally Road was identified by the county
as a necessary improvement and corrected. He further stated
intersections such as McEnnally Road/Winterpock Road/Ashbrook
Parkway could get improved either as a developer project, as
a local government funded project, or through a VDOT Six-Year
Plan. He stated to install a traffic signal at the
intersection with no other improvements would cost
approximately $300,000. He further stated many improvements
would have to be made at the intersection. He stated the
Genito Road Bridge project is now fully funded and the
project will be complete in 2013.
Ms. Durfee expressed appreciation to Ms. Whitstead and Mr.
Bush for their work on trying to get a solution to the issues
at the McEnnally Road/Winterpock Road/Ashbrook Parkway
intersection. She stated the Matoaca District has many roads
and not enough money to fund the improvements needed. She
further stated the intersection needs~to be made a priority
somehow.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Totten stated a
traditional traffic signal was requested at the intersection..

He further stated a four-way stop would be required to meet
the same criteria.
Ms. Durfee stated there is no other land in the area to be
developed, whereby the county could request the developer to
provide improvements at the intersection.
On motion of Mr. Warren, seconded by Ms. Durfee, the Board
adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors
and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) have
conducted a public hearing on the FY2011 through FY2016
Secondary Road, Six-Year Improvement Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Board concurs with the proposed projects
identified in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chesterfield
County Board of Supervisors approves the FY2011 through
FY2016 Six-Year Secondary Road Improvement Plan as presented
by VDOT.
And, further, the Board adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT) has submitted its proposed FY2011 Secondary Road
Improvement Budget to the county; and
WHEREAS, the Budget represents the implementation of the
first year of the FY2011 through FY2016 Six-Year Improvement
Plan adopted by the Board.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chesterfield
County Board of Supervisors approves the FY2011 Secondary
Road Improvement Budget as presented by VDOT.

17.C. TO CONSIDER REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION SUBSTANTIAL
.ACCORD DETERMINATION FOR CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PLANNING
DEPARTMENT (CASE lOPD0233) TO PERMIT CONVERSION OF A
PUBLIC MIDDLE SCHOOL (CHESTER MIDDLE) TO A PUBLIC
SCHOOL ACCOMMODATING THE NINTH GRADE
Ms. Peterson provided a summary of Case lOPD0233 and reviewed
the criteria for a facility to be in substantial accord with
the Public Facilities Plan. She stated the Planning
Commission determined the conversion from a middle school to
a school accommodating the ninth grade to be in substantial
accord with the Public Facilities Plan.
Mr. Gecker stated the substantial accord process is not
typically a public input process, but the Board is happy to
hear from the citizens. He further stated the Board does not
10-441
06/23/10
control operational issues of the school system and this item
is simply a land use issue.
Ms. Georgia Faison addressed the Board relative to the
substantial accord for the Chester Middle School building.
She stated the change in the building usage conflicts with
the county's Comprehensive Plan and goes against the wishes
of the Chester community. She further stated the Chester
community has a strong sense of community.
Ms. Heather Hart, a Bermuda District resident, stated the
county's Comprehensive Plan indicates that the Plan shapes
the character by preserving functioning and visually unique
communities and by preserving historic villages. She further
stated the schools are part of what makes the Chester
community attractive to residents. She stated Chester's
special sense of community should be maintained by keeping
the pedestrian accessibility along the Route 10 corridor, and
removing Chester Middle from the area will remove the
accessibility. She further stated the Public Facilities Plan
is a valuable decision-making tool, which provides a link
between all county facilities and the Comprehensive Plan.
She stated schools should be located near students and
population centers, which minimizes the inconvenience caused
by long school commutes. She further stated moving students
from Chester Middle to Davis Middle and Carver Middle will
impact daily routines due to longer commutes for students and
parents, and the 400 students being redistricted to Davis
Middle all live more than five miles away. She stated the
Public Facilities Plan states existing schools may be
converted to another type as long as the original student
capacity displaced is assigned to a new facility subject to
locational and other criteria. She further stated converting
Chester Middle School to a 9th grade academy of Thomas Dale
High School is not consistent with the Public Facilities
Plan.
Ms. Jennifer Grossnickel stated converting Chester Middle
School to a 9th grade academy will negatively and
significantly affect the traffic in the community of Chester.
She expressed concerns relative to the amount. of turns the
inexperienced drivers will have to navigate between two
campuses and the increased numbers of kids crossing roads..
She stated twice daily children will get bussed through the
county's most dangerous intersection, Route 1 and Route 10.
She further stated without improvement to the roads, they
will become more congested. She stated planned improvements
for Route 10 between Interstate 95 and Ware Bottom Road will
impact bus arrival times at Davis Middle School.
Mr. Jim Copp, a member of CURG, stated the functional
capacity formula suggests the instructional space at Thomas
Dale High School is adequate with the actual capacity only 10
to 14 percent over capacity. He further stated CURG
requested copies of the functional capacity plan from the
School Board and never received a response. He stated the
worksheet used to determine capacity of a high school by the
Department of Education indicates Thomas Dale's capacity to
be approximately 2,170 students, not 1,840. He further
stated the only step taken to alleviate the overcrowding at
Thomas Dale is posting directional signs at intersections and
stairways. He stated the hallway problem at Thomas Dale is
what causes the congestion issues. He further stated
10-442
06/23/10
{
classrooms need to be arranged by grade level instead of by
department which causes students to traverse the building to
get to classes. He stated multiple options were presented to
the School Board showing innovative ways to minimize the
congestion issues at Thomas Dale and to keep the community
intact.
Mr. Kent Dodd, a member of CURG and lifelong resident of
Chester, stated this is not simply a land use decision, but
rather a failure of the School Board to meet substantial
accord for the conversion of Chester Middle School. He
further stated the Public Facilities Plan clearly states the
displacement of original student capacity by school
conversion must be subject to the locational criteria of the
Public Facilities Plan, which calls for schools to be
provided at locations that minimize travel distance for
students. He provided a list of public safety issues with
the closure of Chester Middle School and the subsequent use
as. a 9th grade academy. He stated according to the Virginia
Department of Education capacity formula for high schools,
Thomas Dale High School is not as overcrowded as the school
division alleges and several viable cost neutral options to
relieve hall overcrowding were presented to the School Board
only to be ignored. He further stated this is more than a
building decision, it is about protecting and maintaining the
integrity of a community and enabling it to thrive into the
future. He stated the citizens were told there was no cost
analysis done on converting Chester Middle School into a 9th
grade academy. He urged the Board to find the conversion of
Chester Middle School into a 9th grade academy not in
substantial accord on the basis that it fails to meet the
locational criteria of the Public Facilities Plan.
Dr. Sam Galstan, a Bermuda District resident, stated the
School Board failed to follow the process so profoundly that
they disenfranchised the community. He provided details to
the Board relative to how the School Board failed to notify
the public of the public hearing. He stated the citizens of
Chesterfield County are not okay with being left out of the
process on something so important. He urged the Board to
show strong leadership and protect the rights and integrity
of the citizens of Chesterfield County. He requested the
Board to follow the county's guiding principles and mission
statements.
Mr. Kenny Britt, a Bermuda District resident, stated the
process for the conversion of Chester Middle School to a 9th
grade academy has not followed proper protocol on the
notification process. He further stated the community has
been protective over Chester Middle School because it is
important to the community. He stated it seems the School
Board made up their mind about the conversion of Chester
Middle School to a 9th grade academy without taking public
input. He further stated the citizens of Chester have
opposed the School Board's decision to close Chester Middle
School. He stated the citizens of Chester feel like they are
not represented on the School Board.
Mr. Les Saunders stated the children of Chester Middle School
are not resilient and unfeeling when it comes to taking them
out of the school they love. He further stated the School
Board is made up of dictators, meaning whatever the district

representative. He stated all land use decisions include the
human element. He further stated he believes it is wrong to
have elected school boards and that the school board should
be appointed by the Board of Supervisors. He stated if the
School Board decides to sue the Board of Supervisors, they
will be using the Board of Supervisors' money. He further
stated the Comprehensive Plan gives the Board the right to
vote no on the substantial accord report because the meeting
was not held legally. He stated the most important thing in
law is notice and there was no mention of Chester Middle
School in the School Board's notice for the meeting.
Mr. Rob Stansbury, the principal of Thomas Dale High School,
stated the school is overcrowded and cannot accommodate all
of the students that attend.
Mr. Gene Brown, assistant principal of Thomas Dale High
School, provided a map to the Board depicting areas that have
been renovated within the school to accommodate the students.
He stated Thomas Dale also utilizes 14 trailers to
accommodate the students. He further stated the school was
built for 1,750 students when it was renovated, and the
population has increased dramatically. He stated the staff
does a very good job of teaching students, but the students
have a hard time traversing the school to get to their
classes. He further stated they will do the best they can to
educate the students.
Mr. Stansbury stated Thomas Dale has done everything possible
to meet the classroom requirements for the increasing
population for the last nine years. He provided the formulas
used to reach functional capacity for high schools. He
stated the increased population in the schools has impacts on
the infrastructure such as hallways, cafeteria, and restrooms
because they are areas which cannot be expanded. He provided
details of the programs in place to make sure the 9th grade
students have academic and social success. He reviewed the
9th grade academy's mission statement.
Mr. David Wyman, School Board Chairman, provided
clarification on when the notice for the redistricting was
published in the newspaper prior to the meeting. He stated
the decision to convert Chester Middle School to Thomas
Dale's 9th grade academy is the sole responsibility of the
School Board. He further stated this has been a difficult
decision for all parties involved. He stated a proposed high
school to be built on the Branner Station property to relieve
overcrowding in surrounding high schools was removed from the
capital budget. He stated in the fall of 2009 the School
Board started looking at an alternative high school concept
to relieve the overcrowding at Thomas Dale High School, which
would cost in the range of $20 to $30 million rather than $85
million for a comprehensive school. He further stated the
middle schools in the Chester area had substantial available
capacity. He stated the solution to the Thomas Dale
overcrowding would be the utilization of the available
capacity at the middle school level. He further stated
during the period from December 2009 to February 2010, the
School Board reviewed 13 different options to resolve the
overcrowding problem at Thomas Dale. He stated moving the 9th
grade class to the existing Chester Middle School building
allows the School Board to ensure that the schools involved
are used in the most efficient and effective manner possible.

He further stated the process of reaching this decision was
difficult and involved public engagement and is in the best
interest of the entire county. He stated the School Board
commissioned a committee of individuals from the community to
recommend new attendance boundaries. He further stated all
four schools involved are projected to stay below functional
capacity through at least 2018. He stated the School Board
believes this action will provide an education environment
that continues to be conducive to academic achievement for
the students. He recognized the work of the staff,
administrations, and students of all schools involved for
their hard work. He stated the actions taken by the School
Board will continue to be in the best financial interest of
the school system and county.
There being no one else to address the request,. Mr. Gecker
closed the public comment period.
Mr. Warren expressed appreciation for the comments made to
the Board of Supervisors by the citizens and for the school
staff being present. He stated the School Board's decision
to close Chester Middle School was difficult to make. He
stated the citizens, School Board, or Board of Supervisors
did not create the current economic conditions. He further
stated he has mixed feelings about the substantial accord
decision.
Ms. Durfee expressed appreciation to the speakers. She
stated the school system has been placed in its current
situation due to poor decisions made years ago, which affect
the county today. She further stated the decision to build
Tomahawk Middle School still affects the community and
families today. She stated the officials did not pay
attention to the overcrowding at Thomas Dale nine years ago,
but focused on building Elizabeth Davis Middle when it was
not needed. She further stated she was on the other side at
one time asking the same questions being asked about this
issue. She stated the citizens have done some great
research, and the decisions made by the Board clearly affect
citizens of the county. She further stated the decision to
build Tomahawk Middle was a compromise on families,
neighborhoods and costs of transportation, noting that 80
percent of the students who attend Tomahawk Middle travel out
of their community because of a bad decision. She stated the
Board has to make a decision whether the Chester Middle
School conversion fits the Comprehensive Plan or the Public
Facilities Plan. She further stated there is language in the
Public Facilities Plan about locational criteria, and this
decision will not minimize travel time for students. She
discussed the different options available for overcrowding.
She stated proposals had been made on the overcrowding of
Thomas Dale before the public had an opportunity to provide
input. She further stated the conversion of Chester Middle
School does not meet smart growth principles. She stated the
School Board now wants to put sidewalks around schools so
students can walk to schools, although no sidewalks were
placed around Tomahawk. She expressed concerns that proper
time was not given to this decision and stated the Board
cannot undo the School Board's decision, but can take a bold
step and not accept the report.
Mr. Holland stated the county has experienced some tough
economic times that impacted the budget, but this year's
budget had nothing to do with the decisions made by the
School Board. He further stated the decision to convert
Chester Middle School has been difficult for parents,
students and teachers and that is reflected by the survey

that indicated 92 percent of respondents did not agree with
the closing of Chester Middle School. He stated the closing
of Chester Middle School was inevitable once Elizabeth Davis
Middle was built, indicating the community cannot sustain
three middle schools in that close of proximity. He further
stated it is unfortunate that the decision was made without
public input because it has created a lot of anger. He
stated the Board cannot undo the School Board's decision. He
further stated everyone's focus now needs to be on the
students. He stated communication, trust, and community
input are important. He further stated this issue is a land
use versus operational issue. He stated at some point the
county must learn from the poor decisions that have been made
and make better decisions for the future. He further stated
it is unfortunate the trust factor has been destroyed with
the community and the School Board.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed appreciation to the speakers who have
been so diligent with attending meetings. She stated the
citizens in the Chester area really have a passion for their
community. She further stated the closing of Chester Middle
really brings to light how important the substantial accord
process is in the locating of public facilities. She stated
schools are an integral part of the community and cannot be
built without any regard to size or location. She further
stated having an elementary, middle and high school side by
side created a strong sense of community necessary to the
sustainability of an older area in the county such as
Chester. She stated when Elizabeth Davis Middle was built
with a capacity of 1,200 students, it appears no one really
looked at how far away the students would need to come to
fill the school. She further stated when a new school is
being planned, especially those that will affect older areas,
the school cannot be a one size fits all school. She stated
the substantial accord issue before the Board has to do with
whether or not Chester Middle can be used as a 9th grade
academy, not whether Davis and Carver Middle Schools can
house Chester Middle students. She further stated the
capacity of Thomas Dale at the time of renovation was 1,800
students and current enrollment is approximately 2,400
students. She stated Thomas Dale has been operating over
capacity for seven years and with a new high school being
delayed, it would be another ten years before the
overcrowding is relieved. She further stated when there was
discussion in 1996 about renovating Thomas Dale, the Chester
community fought hard and Mr. Marshall Trammell stood with
the community. She stated Thomas Dale is the most beautiful
school in Chesterfield. She further stated it is imperative
that Chester Middle School be brought back to the community
in the future.
Mr. Gecker stated he appreciates the input of the citizens
and members of CURG. He further stated the substantial
accord process is the overall check on the Comprehensive Plan
for public facilities. He stated it is easy to take shots at
another governing body when everyone in the room is mad at
the other governing body. He further stated this was a
difficult decision for the school division. He stated no one
sets out to make bad decisions and the School Board does care
about what is going on in the county. He further stated the
Public Facilities Plan covers circumstances like this. He
stated there is not a good reason that says the conversion
does not comply with substantial accord. He further stated
the school division is charged with providing an education
for our kids.
Ms. Durfee stated the data and information was there for many
years prior to building Elizabeth Davis and officials ignored
it.
