challenging issues for localities in 2013, including
continuing efforts to eliminate/restrict local revenue
sources; transportation funding/devolution of secondary
roads; K-12 funding; VRS; water quality funding; and land use

including transportation; mandates; VRS; state tax reform;

renovation needs. She stated additional issues and
challenges include ongoing local aid to the Commonwealth;
Line of Duty Act costs; funding needs for constitutional

decisions local; and continually strengthening local economic
development competitiveness. She reviewed legislative
requests for the Board to consider, including amending the
State Code to equalize the composition of the Board of
Directors of the Richmond Metropolitan Authority among the
member localities; and seeing language amendments to the
Appropriation Act to provide more local flexibility with
education funding. She reviewed positions for the Board to
consider supporting, including potential positive outcomes
from the JLARC Regional Incentives Study; and Richmond
Regional and Crater PDC's legislative initiatives. She then

caps on existing cash proffer, land use and zoning
authorities. She provided the proposed calendar associated

6.B. PRESENTATION FROM CHESTERFIELD COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD

an update to the Board. She provided details of the variety
of services offered by Mental Health Support Services. She
presented data regarding the number of consumers provided
mental health, intellectual disability and substance abuse
services; the mental health support services FY13 budget by
funding stream; a breakdown of revenues and expenditures; and
revenue source by service area. She provided details of
agency highlights, including the electronic health record;
the Intermediate Care Facility (ICF-MR); and the Virginia
Independent Children's Assessment Program (VICAP). She
stated challenges ahead for the agency include a waiting list
for services; early intervention for infants and toddlers -

of Justice Settlement Agreement; and changes to Virginia's
health care system. She provided data related to waiting
time for mental health and intellectual disability services;
increased number of infants and toddlers who are eligible for
early intervention services and the budget shortfalls
associated with the program. She provided details of the
U.S. Department of Justice Settlement Agreement, which will
require new case management standards to be implemented by
March 2013. She reviewed changes to the state's health care
system, which will result in new responsibilities for mental
health support services.
Ms. Jaeckle inquired whether there was a specific reason for
the significant increase in the last two years in the number
of infants and toddlers who were eligible for early
intervention services.
Ms. Burcham stated the federal government provides funds for
this program to the states based on a formula of what they
consider to be the prevalence of the children who should be
served, and they have been concerned that Virginia is not
finding the number of children who are eligible. She further
stated the agency does a lot of child-finding activities,
reaching out to the community to try to identify these
children in the first three years of life. She stated there
has also been a change in the automatic eligibility
requirements, to include all babies who were in the neonatal
ICU for more than 30 days and all babies who were born at
less than 28 weeks.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
Mr. Turner thanked the Board members for providing additional
time for staff to prepare the proposed edition of the
Countywide Comprehensive Plan. He recognized the Planning
Commission members for their diligence throughout the
process. He also recognized the School Board members and
county residents for their contributions to the proposed
Plan. He provided details of the work and collaboration
involved with the preparation of the Plan and stated, in his
opinion, the document creates a very useful, intelligent
guide to our future. He stated he is excited about the
enhanced focus on revitalization and appreciates that the
Plan recognizes and preserves the unique character of our
villages and the measures that exist within the Upper Swift
Creek Watershed, and that it seeks to expand those measures
to our other streams and rivers. He further stated the Plan
will support and enhance all those elements which contribute
to a high quality of life and allow us to remain a first-
choice community. He stated this date and time has been
advertised for a public hearing for the Board to consider
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan for Chesterfield County.
Mr. Gecker stated the Board will open the public hearing and
take citizen input. He further stated he does not anticipate

any concerns raised tonight.

entire Upper Swift Creek Plan in the Countywide Comprehensive
Plan; and 2) inclusion of the Environmental Quality Section
of the Upper Swift Creek Plan. She stated she understands
that many of the goals in the Upper Swift Creek Plan are
reflected in the proposed Comprehensive Plan and that staff
has worked very hard on the Plan, but expressed concerns that
only two very general environmental goals are included in the
proposed Plan and that much of the language in the Plan is
conditional. She expressed concerns relative to weakening of
the Upper Swift Creek's environmental protections without the
supporting Upper Swift Creek Plan.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau stated the
than what was provided by the
concerns that the county's zon
rights, since it is based on
best able to determine the best
of other landowners. He stated
right and the rights of others
proposed Plan is much better

see fit and only restrict him and others when they are going
to create a nuisance on the property.
Mr. Doug Cabel, who resides on the Swift Creek Reservoir,
stated a tremendous effort was put forth on the Upper Swift
Creek Plan, and he thinks it should be included in the
Comprehensive Plan. He further stated he concurs with Ms.
Szakal's proposals.
Mr. Steve Meadows, representing the Gateway Association,
stated he thinks the proposed Plan is a workable document,
and he is looking forward to its approval so that we can get
to the implementation phase.
Mr. John Bennett, representing the Chesterfield Business
Council and the Greater Richmond Chamber, read a letter from
the Chesterfield Business Council indicating the council's
support of the draft Plan as approved by the Planning
Commission.
Mr. Peter Martin, with Hands Across the Lake, stated he
supports the proposals submitted by Ms. Szakal, as they would
provide a blueprint for protecting the county's water
resources. He further stated, without water, there will be
no business development growth in the county.
Dr. Tom Pakurar, a Clover Hill District resident and Vice-
President of Hands Across the Lake, concurred with Ms. Szakal
regarding the importance of the environmental inclusion in
the proposed Plan. He expressed concerns that the Plan does
not address long-term sources of water and urged the Board to
seriously consider that issue. He encouraged the Board to
adopt very strict, uncomplicated measures to protect our
water source and to take a proactive and positive stance that
water is important and do it in a way to create a win-win
scenario that would allow developers to protect water at a
lower cost than state law mandates.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Gecker stated this would be the time for individual Board
members to propose any changes they would like to see in the
Plan.
Mr. Holland requested two changes: 1) that the following
additional language (underlined) be added to Chapter 10, Note
3 on page 110: At the northeast and southeast quadrants of
Chippenham Parkway and Route 10 and at the northwest and
southwest quadrants of Jessup Road and Route 10, land uses
other than those shown on the Land Use Plan Map may be
appropriate if adequate land is assembled to minimize the
impact on surrounding land uses; if high quality, upscale and
innovative architecture and site design is employed to
provide a positive first impression on visitors and potential
investors; if adequate land is assembled to provide direct
vehicular access to Route 10 without using internal
residential streets; and if mitigating road improvements are
provided. Such alternative land uses could include Community
Mixed Uses or Regional Mixed Uses; and 2) that in Chapter 10,
the Land Use Plan Map on page 112 and the Thoroughfare Plan
Map on page 113 be amended to reflect the additional
language.

Ms. Jaeckle requested six changes: 1) that the last sentence
on page 18 in Chapter 5 be amended as follows: allows
Chesterfield to have a readily available educated workforce
z~-a'r"~-}c~rtircr-Bi~'AFfIA~P-~ '1 l-i ~a#~T~o~=~-,-,-,--~-r;~~--atrt"~t--~vn
.; 2) that the
language be amended in Chapter 14, page 162, 3rd bullet as
follows : R-el-r~a~ ^~ - Bensley District Station:
=~~~e~~-~'"~~ ~e~-e~-t'~~Te~~c~~=wed-s- Th i s s to t i on
should be relocated ~z~e~~r-}~-t-e in the vicinity of Route
1 and h Dundas Road.
_~a-; 3 ) that the following bullet (underlined) be added in
Chapter 14, Page 162, Facility Recommendations, 2018-2022,
Upon completion of the Enon and Bensley District Stations,
the Chester District Station should be closed.; 4) that the
map on page 163 of Chapter 14 be replaced to reflect the
changes proposed for the District Stations; 5) various
language changes in Chapter 14, page 206, related to Fleet
Maintenance Facilities; and 6) that the map on page 207 of
Chapter 14 be replaced to reflect the changes proposed for
Fleet Maintenance Facilities. She stated the first change is
just a matter of wording, to reflect what the Board has heard
from businesses who are looking for a readily available
workforce. She further stated, after speaking with the
police captains, they do not think that just closing Chester
and opening Bensley District Stations is a good idea; rather,
they would like to have an Enon Station in the future prior
to closing the Chester Station. She stated in regard to the
language changes relative to fleet maintenance facilities,
the Board will have to discuss whether they want to expand
fleet maintenance or whether they .want to have a central
fleet maintenance facility and contract out to private
businesses in other areas of the county instead of building
our own facilities. (It is noted that Mr. Elswick also
supports requests 5 and 6 relative to Fleet Maintenance
Facilities.)
Mr. Elswick requested the following three changes: 1) that
the School Board's recommendation to eliminate the charts on
pages 2, 3 and 4 of attachment 3 in Chapter 14 not be
accepted; 2) that additional language (underlined) be added
to Chapter 15, page 211, Implementations, as follows:
Implementation Team: Appoint a staff member whose
responsibility is the oversi ht of the completion of the
implementation steps. Establish a cross departmental team of
staff members whose sole res onsibility will be the
completion of the Plan implementation steps. The organization
structure will include authority for the cross departmental
team to obtain support from other staff members, as
necessary.; 3) in Chapter 15, Implementation, move the
section dealing with cash proffers from Phase II to Phase I
so that the Board can begin dealing with cash proffers
immediately.
Mr. Warren stated the re-writing of the Plan has demonstrated
the resilience of the county's Planning staff. He suggested
that when the Board does approve the Plan, it will create the
foundation for those citizens who were active in the process
to broadcast to other parts of the country that citizens can
make a difference in local government decision-making. He
stated the Board heard over and over tonight about the
inclusion of the Upper Swift Creek Plan, and stated he cannot
think of anything that more work has gone into over the last

20 years. He further stated Mr. Russ Gulley, Chairman of the
Planning Commission, has agonized over this and understands
the concept of protecting the water resource and the
importance of water. He stated he is torn between why we
cannot include the seven pages that already exist versus the
current draft document. He requested that Mr. Turner provide
the Board with a summary of the discussion held with the
citizens and the Planning Commission regarding the water
protection provided by the proposed document versus what is
provided by the Upper Swift Creek Plan. He stated, in his
opinion, the ordinance amendments that occur after the Plan
adoption are even more important in the protection of water
sources, and that could be the answer to ensuring that the
county is doing what is necessary to protect our water
quality.
Mr. Gecker stated he has heard four areas that need staff
involvement between now and October 24th: 1) Police Department
to provide feedback relative to Ms. Jaeckle's suggestion
regarding District Police Stations; 2) staff to provide the
Board with data relative to the importance of separate fleet
maintenance facilities; 3) staff to respond to Mr. Elswick's
request regarding implementation and a cross-department
committee; and 4) staff to provide a short summary of why it
is not necessary to include the Upper Swift Creek Plan
language in the proposed Plan. He noted that he shares some
of Mr. Warren's concerns relative to Swift Creek.
On motion of Mr. Holland, seconded by Mr. Elswick, the Board
deferred action on the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
for Chesterfield County until October 24, 2012.
Ayes: Gecker, Jaeckle, Warren, Holland and Elswick.
