GETTING STARTED
Mr. Stegmaier called the joint meeting to order at 1:02 p.m.
and welcomed the Planning Commission and School Board.
SETTING THE STAGE
Mr. Turner welcomed the Board of Supervisors, Planning
Commission and School Board members to the joint meeting with
the consultants on the Comprehensive Plan. He stated in the
last twenty-one months, staff, consulting teams and the
Steering Committee have worked very hard to pull together a
draft recommendation for the Planning Commission and the
Board to consider adopting. He also recognized the input that
was received by a variety of different groups and citizens.
PRESENTATION OF DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Mr. Vlad Gavrilovic, of the Renaissance Planning Group,
provided a brief update on the process being used to develop
the Draft Comprehensive Plan. He stated the purpose of the
meeting is to update the Board of Supervisors, Planning
Commission and School Board on the progress to date on the
Plan and discuss where we are now and where we go next, a
summary of Steering Committee input on the Draft Plan,
proposed public outreach for the Draft Plan, and a high level
overview of the Draft Plan. He further stated the next phase
is Review and Adoption.
Mr. Milt Herd presented an update regarding the Steering
Committee input. He stated the Committee represented
diversity of county citizen input, met 20 times over 20
months, shaped/guided the Vision, reviewed the Draft Plan,
and had a strong overall support for Draft Plan. He further
stated some points of support regarding the Steering
Committee Survey included emphasis on revitalization,
preservation of farmland, forestry and green infrastructure,
development in centers/mixed land uses, county engagement and
transportation. He stated points of disagreement included
concerns over process, not enough time to discuss the
transportation element, not enough emphasis on Virginia State
University, concerns over implementation and concerns over
policies. He concluded that on the whole, very valuable
comments were made for those who will adopt and implement the
Plan, and it is important to review all comments as well as
the overall summary of themes.
Mr. Gavrilovic stated the Comprehensive Plan is county-wide
and is based on a broad spectrum of input. He reviewed all
the input that has been tracked and considered, as well as
the details of policy framework and implementation. He also
reviewed highlight results of the Draft Plan analysis over
the current plan, including lower residential population,
higher jobs to worker ratio, greater emphasis on quality
jobs, greater mix of housing types, less public facilities
needed and more fiscally sound.

DISCUSSION OF PROJECT
Mr. Wyman expressed appreciation to the Steering Committee
and Planning Commission for their hard work and efforts to
involve the School Board in the process. He stated the
proposed plan will serve as a guide for enhancing the future
of Chesterfield .County. He further stated the focus put on
economic development and revitalization in the quality of
life is extremely important in the county. He stated the
development of a robust business tax base plays a key role in
ensuring that the funding for schools and all public services
is more stable and balanced. He further stated it is
important for the community to continue to be active as the
plan pushes forward.
Mr. Trammell stated he is comfortable with the plan as far as
school facilities are involved. He further stated
revitalization is recognition of one of the components that
the school system has tried to implement by keeping the older
facilities up to par.
In response to Mr. Rajah's question, Mr. Gavrilovic stated
the census data relative to the Comprehensive Plan should not
change much. He further stated most of the Comprehensive Plan
is founded on core principles and not based on the current or
future demographics. He stated the models in place are meant
to be updated and should not affect the formula for basic
service.
Mr. Wyman requested additional details surrounding the
current build-out of the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Patricia Carpenter stated she was pleased that the area
plans and village plans were evaluated and included. She
further stressed that public input is essential to the plan
process.
Mr. Gavrilovic stated before the plan goes to the Planning
Commission and to the Board of Supervisors, every comment
from the public will be recorded.
Dr. Brown expressed appreciation to the consultants, staff
and the Steering Committee for their hard work. He stated he
will focus on residential and non-residential uses as the
plan proceeds.
In response to Mr. Walter's question, Mr. Gavrilovic stated
the Internet draft version of the plan will go unchanged
until the Board takes action. He addressed concerns regarding
village plans stating only key concepts have been documented
as the process continues.
Mr. Bass stated one of the most important parts of the plan
is structuring the ordinances that make the plan effective.
He further stated state funds make parts of the Comprehensive
Plan impossible, especially ,regarding transportation and
utilities.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed appreciation

In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Glavrilovic stated
public feedback is important to determine siting linear
trails.
Ms. Durfee expressed appreciation to members of the Steering
Committee, staff and consultants. She expressed concerns
regarding the inability to service citizens with public
facilities, the importance to close that gap and making
decisions based on data. She further stated the lower number
for public facilities cost does not mean less services on a
per capita basis, it is based on lower assumption of
population and a different land use mix.
Mr. Warren recognized the members of the Steering Committee.
He stated it is critical that the county communicates with
the public and gives citizens an opportunity to voice their
opinion. He expressed concerns regarding charging the public
for. copies of the plan. He stated copies of the plan should
be supplied at all public meetings, as well as libraries,
schools and county departments.
In response to Mr. Holland's question regarding the consensus
of the Steering Committee, Mr. Herd stated a strong super
majority was achieved considering the fundamental broad level
of the group. Mr. Gladvrilovic stated a general affirmation
wanted to see the plan go forward.
Mr. Gecker expressed appreciation to the members of the
Steering Committee. He reiterated Mr. Warren's comments
regarding making copies of the plan available to the public
free of charge. He stated attention should be brought to the
integration of concepts that were developed for specific area
plans. He further stated there are concepts that are specific
to certain areas that need to be incorporated into the plan.
He expressed thoughts regarding the integration of elements
within the plan.
Mr. Stegmaier expressed appreciation to the consultants,
county staff and to the citizens on the Steering Committee
for their continued involvement.
It was generally agreed by the Board to recess until 3:00
p.m. in the Public Meeting Room for the regularly scheduled
meeting.

Mr. Stegmaier called the regularly scheduled meeting to order

1. ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING
1.A. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN
Mr. Stegmaier stated the first order of business would be the
election of Chairman. He then opened the floor for
nominations.
Ms. Jaeckle nominated Mr. Warren to serve as Chairman for
2011.
J

11-4
Ms. Durfee nominated Mr. Holland to serve as Chairman for
2011.
Ms. Jaeckle made a motion, seconded by Ms. Durfee, for the
Board to close the nominations.
Ayes: Warren, Jaeckle, Holland, Durfee, and Gecker.
Nays: None.
Ms. Jaeckle made the following statement: This is an
important and overwhelming year and there are many issues
facing us. Redistricting, this election year and the
continued fragile economy and maybe most importantly is the
county's Comprehensive Plan. The county Comprehensive Plan is
a very complex issue that will have many controversial
issues. Mr. Warren served on the Planning Commission for four
years and the Board of Supervisors for twenty years. I feel
the Board Chairman will be the voice of the county through
this process that will involve an in-depth knowledge of the
Comprehensive Plan that can only be gained with experience.
Mr. Warren has gone through four election cycles while
serving on the Board. I know there may be an expectation of
equal rotation of leadership; I have never been a believer in
that. I think citizens expect us to make decisions based on
what is best for Chesterfield, not because of the way it has
always been done. Mr. Warren has served very well as our
leader in the past, always keeping us abreast of what was
going on and always giving us insight as to what experience
has been on the issue and that is why I am nominating him as
Chairman.
Ms. Durfee made the following statement: I am nominating Mr.
Holland, not because it is traditional that he is Vice Chair
and he should be Chair, although I do believe highly in
respecting that position and the potential for transition. I
do know in this last election the citizens spoke
overwhelmingly about expressing their concern for change in
this county on .many fronts . This has nothing to do with one
person's expertise over another, but it surely has to do with
the request by citizens for opportunities for change and
opportunities for leadership capacity, and I believe at this
particular juncture having observed and watched all of the
members on this Board be involved in numerous committees,
served in capacities in different functions on state, local
and regional committees that I believe at this juncture it is
the right thing to do to stand behind the person who is our
current Vice Chair to move into the Chairman position.
The vote on election of Mr. Warren as Chairman of the Board
of Supervisors for 2011 was as follows:
Ayes: Warren, Jaeckle, and Gecker.
Nays: Holland and Durfee.
Mr. Stegmaier congratulated Mr. Warren on being elected as
Chairman for 2011.
Mr. Warren expressed appreciation to his fellow Board
members. He then made the following statement: I appreciate
this opportunity to serve in our year of decision making. The
key issue will be the Comprehensive Plan and it is very
important that we have a very open process, something that
11-5
this Board has felt extremely important to make sure that we
have transparency and citizen input. For those who thought
that as a result of the Steering Committee and consultant the
Plan has already found its conclusion, that would be
inaccurate. This will go through a process of many public
meetings on the part of the five Board members, but it will
also include substantial discussion on the part of the
Planning Commission followed by a public hearing by the
Planning Commission and then on to the Board of Supervisors.
I believe the majority of the Board will have additional
public meetings following the recommendations of the Planning
Commission. Once that process occurs, it will come before the
Board of Supervisors, there will be another public hearing or
more public hearings and then there will be a vote. This
Board has a responsibility to make the final decision. This
body has shown over the years that it is very tuned into the
public and we will be listening very carefully throughout the
process of hearing from the public. In a meeting earlier
today with the School Board and the Planning Commission many
comments were made by the School Board and the Planning
Commission as well as members of this Board. It was clear
from the comments and the questions that there is much work
to be done. This will not be an overnight process and it will
take a great deal of time. It was made clear that the draft
plan needs to made very visible and open to the public and
that it be placed in libraries around the county as well as
at the public meetings to be held in January and following
that there will be adequate copies of the draft plan so
citizens can hold the plan in their hand, refer to certain
pages, ask questions and get answers. That is the only way
this county will end up with a visioning process and with a
plan that truly does represent the over 300,000 citizens. We
have redistricting coming up this year and that is a critical
part of our agenda. It will require a great deal of attention
to the population statistics that we get near the end of
February of this year from the Census Bureau. Many of the
districts will have to shrink or increase in size so that all
five districts fall within a percentage, I believe five
percent of all. of them, so therefore this is going to be a
very important process. We have to wait until we hear from
the General Assembly because they have to deal with the
bigger picture of the entire state, which also impacts
Chesterfield County. That is a process that our attention
will be substantially given to. Thirdly is the budget, we do
this every year and there is always a great deal of interest.
There are always public meetings dealing with the budget and
given the fact that we will hopefully see some light at the
end of the tunnel in terms of moving out of the first phases
of the recession, we are going to have to continue 'to be very
frugal and be very careful as we have in the past three years
to make sure that we balance our budget, meet our core needs,
particularly in the area of education, public safety and
emergency preparedness and do it in such a way that we do not
diminish our quality of life. That is a big agenda and that
is a big responsibility. There are many other things that
obviously the current Board will have to address, but those
are the three that I felt were worthy of comment.
Mr. Warren called for the nomination of Vice Chairman.
Mr. Gecker nominated Ms. Jaeckle to serve as Vice Chairman
for 2011.

Mr. Holland nominated Ms. Durfee to serve as Vice Chairman
for 2011.
Mr. Holland made a motion, seconded by Mr. Gecker, for the
Board to close the nominations.
Ayes: Warren, Jaeckle, Holland, Durfee, Gecker.
Nays: None.
The vote on election of Ms. Jaeckle as Vice Chairman of the
Board of Supervisors for 2011 was as follows:
Ayes: Warren, Jaeckle, and Gecker.
Nays: Holland and Durfee.
Mr. Warren congratulated Ms. Jaeckle on being elected Vice
Chairman.
Ms. Jaeckle made the following statement: I look forward to
this opportunity as Vice Chairman. I think this is going to
be a difficult year. Thank you for the nomination and for
being voted in. I will do my best to represent the citizens
and be all inclusive in leadership.
Mr. Holland made the following statement: Thank you Mr.
Chairman, I appreciate the opportunity. As I have always
said, you always have to count the votes, it takes three
votes and that has always been true on this Board. I have
stated that completely and thoroughly. I had a great speech
prepared here as you can see with three great points I was
going to articulate. I am profoundly disappointed at this
result because of the historic nature. When I think about
today, I look back to 400 years ago when the City of Henricus
at Dutch Gap was established, which was the second permanent
English settlement in the Americas in 1611. Here we are in
2011, 400 years later and those who are students of Biblical
history will note that the children of Israel were in Egypt
until Moses delivered them 400 years later, and Moses did by
the power of the Almighty God and my Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. I am disappointed at that historic milestone. As you
know, Africans were first introduced in the Americas in 1619,
and so the journey continues. In that respect, I am certainly
disappointed. I do have great admiration for Mr. Warren,
although I thought I was a better choice naturally. I believe
going forth we will make a difference; I will continue to
serve constituents of the Dale District as I always have; I
will serve them well and all of Chesterfield as I have always
done. I will walk with integrity and I will always tell you
the truth. I will be upfront and honest with you, and I
cannot respect any man who does not tell the truth or who
misleads or deceives the public.
Ms. Durfee made the following statement: I am also very
disappointed. I think today was an opportunity to reflect the
change that the citizens wanted three years ago. The citizens
of this county spoke very loud, they want a change on a lot
of different fronts, and today was actually a great
opportunity to do that. I feel sorry for Mr. Holland, only in
the sense that he did have a speech prepared and the reason
he had a speech prepared is because he was given word by
folks that he would be considered for the Chairmanship, not
by all Board members of course, but the three that were to
11-7
support him. Since I wholeheartedly believe in open and
transparent government, I think the public needs to know as
of two hours ago I received a phone call from one of the
Board members who then precedes to talk to me about a switch
in terms of our support of folks who are considered for Chair
and Vice Chair. Not only is that disrespectful, it is also
shameful. This was an opportunity for Chesterfield to show
that it can think outside the box, step outside the box and
not play politics as usual. Unfortunately, it becomes a
popularity contest where politics plays a role. What the
position should exemplify is people's leadership
capabilities, their ability to be team players and also to be
true public servants. I think what occurred here today
clearly shows those Board members who are true to their
values and principles and those who are in question.

Mr. Dupler introduced Mr. Matt Harris to provide a brief
presentation highlighting the actions that the Board is being
asked to consider following the public hearing. He noted

members have questions.

redevelopment project. He stated Phase I is estimated to
have $19 million in investment, anchored by a flagship Kroger
store, with 18,000 square feet of small shop space plus some
11-35
outparcel development. He further stated staff is looking at
an early spring bond closing, with the purchase of Phase I by
the developer to occur simultaneously, and demolition of the
mall to follow. He stated the Board is requested to hold a
public hearing to consider the approval/adoption of a
memorandum of understanding and a special assessment
ordinance. He provided details of the memorandum of
understanding that the Board is being asked to consider,
including authorizing the issuance of the CDA revenue bonds
and pledging the incremental sales and real estate taxes
generated on the site as the primary source for repayment of
the CDA bonds. He stated the special assessment will act as
a back-up funding source to pay the debt service on the
bonds. He briefly discussed the Rate and Method of
Apportionment, should the special assessment be activated.
He stated the documents that the Board is being asked to
consider formalize the county's financial commitment to the
project, and this is the final action required by the Board
before the bonds can be issued and the first phase of the
property can be developed.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Harris stated the
three documents that the Board is being asked to consider are
essentially in final form. He further stated there are
additional documents that staff is still working on.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Dupler stated
staff is recommending that the Board hold the public hearing
tonight and defer action at the conclusion of the public
hearing until January 26th to allow the Board to consider the
public input and staff time to provide the Board with a
complete package.
Mr. Warren called for public comment.

vicinity of the project, expressed concerns that citizens or
business owners in the corridor may have to step up if
Crosland is unable to meet their obligations. He also

Chesterfield County or Virginia businesses for construction
of the project.
There being no one else to address this issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Gecker and Mincks both clarified that the special
assessment district would comprise the mall project property
only.
Mr. Holland stated Crosland should be cognizant of the use of
county businesses, as well as minority businesses, as
suggested by Mr. Jones.
Mr. Gecker stated the real estate market is not what it was
when the county started this project, and the fact that
Crosland has stayed with it this long and made it a priority
speaks volumes to the quality of its operations. He further
stated he is very excited about where we are with the project
and thanked Mr. Downs for his past five years of work on the
project.
