good news and is pleased to see that the county is headed in
the right direction. He further stated it is time to review
where instruction has suffered and try and build back a
system that most of the county's constituents would like to
have in the community. He stated he believes with a little
bit of planning and cooperation between the bodies, much
greater things can be achieved. He noted the School Board
adopted its capital improvement plan that calls for
renovations to several schools in the county.

PROPOSED FY2014 PROJECTED REVENUES
Mr. Matt Harris presented an overview of the proposed FY2014
projected revenues in the General Fund. He provided an update
on current economic conditions and the impacts on revenues.
He stated the presentation will include the national economic
snapshot; focus on local conditions; key forecast
fundamentals; FY2014 revenue summary; and the multi-year
outlook. In regards to the national economic snapshot, he
stated the U.S. economy is heading in the right direction,
but performance is very choppy. He further stated there is
generally inconsistent performance among sectors; housing is
beginning to boost growth as business investment weakens;
overall confidence remains relatively fragile; there was
softer consumer ,spending in January as payroll taxes
increased; and state and local employment are a drag on GDP
in 11 of last 12 quarters. He stated the economic engine is
running again, but it is not firing on all cylinders, for
13-78
J
J
J
02/27/13
example, the fourth quarter production gap is approximately
$1 trillion; the estimate suggested that annual GDP growth of
3.0 percent would close the gap by 2020; and current pace is
only averaging 1.7 percent. He further stated growth
prospects are constrained by sharp contraction in labor force
with the employment-population ratio more revealing than the
unemployment rate; the employment-population ratio is at a
30-year low; remains a large driver behind output gap; and
there is a tremendous concern about its permanence. He noted
the county continues to outperform the U.S. economy because
the local ratio is more stable; the jobless rate continues to
edge lower; consumer spending remains robust; holiday sales
match an all-time high - besting the national performance;
travel activity continues to post solid gains; business
investment is up more than 90 percent; and. commercial
vacancies generally steady. He stated home prices follow
pattern and continue to lag larger housing rebound. He
reviewed forecast keys, which include continued adherence to
a cautious approach; not expecting overnight return to long-
run trajectory; residential reval - flat in FY13 - and +1.5
percent in CY14; other land book assumptions are generally
unchanged; forecast built at $0.95; and no change in revenue
mix. He further stated there is a cautious approach to state
increases with a marginal increase in pure general government
support primarily the result of Aid to Localities
reinstatement; a gain to be set aside for dedicated purposes;
and a $2.7 million increase in State Sales Tax pass through
to schools. He stated the pace of growth in out-years is very
similar to FY2014 and the outlook remains generally in line
with long-running forecast. He further stated a diverse menu
of risks remains. He noted an ongoing sequestration debate is
just a small sample of a larger issue with Virginia being
quite vulnerable to the unfolding federal saga; parallel
concerns regarding global fiscal issues, sustainability of
interest rate environment, and the revision/elimination of
local sources. In closing, he summarized the key points of
the presentation noting the U.S. recovery is underway, but
effort is fragile and very uneven; there is more consistency
on the local level; there are encouraging signs in housing as
well, particularly on price front; and the forecast remains
guarded, follows slow path back towards long-run average.
Mr. Holland highly praised Mr. Harris for an outstanding and
informative presentation.
In response to Mr. Holland's questions, Mr. Harris stated the
occupancy tax also refers to hotel tax. In regards to the
decline in contributions relative to education, he stated
there is a steady drop off in state support for local
operations.
Mr. Elswick commended Mr. Harris for the informative
presentation and stated the citizens should be proud of the
cautious approach the county takes when determining projected
revenues.
Mr. Warren highly praised Mr. Harris for his presentation and
stated he understands this time of year is very stressful and
difficult for the Budget staff.
Ms. Jaeckle stated it is encouraging to see the future
benefits Amazon can create for the county. She further stated
Amazon has supplied 1000 full-time jobs and as a result the
county will hopefully see an increase in the demand and value
of housing in the area. She noted she hoped the county could
thrive from local dollars, instead of depending on state and
federal funds.
13-79
02/27/13
Mr. Holland commended Mr. Gecker and Mr. Stegmaier for their
involvement with the revitalization and increased revenue
relative to the addition of the new Kroger Marketplace.
Mr. Gecker highly praised Mr. Harris for his excellent
presentation and quality of the underlying analysis. He
stated the county still needs to be testing all expenditures
against the core philosophy of Chesterfield's local
government. He further stated the Board's goal is to put
revenue where needed expenses are, as opposed to putting
expenses where the revenue happens to be. He stated improving
the quality of the core service prevision would be a
significant goal over the next few years.
Mr. Harris stressed the importance of maintaining a cautious
approach to the revenue side, as well as continued dedication
at looking for cost saving efficiencies.
Mr. Gecker reiterated his comments relative to the goal of
improving the quality of education, public service and human
services for the community.

13SN0163
In Clover Hill Magisterial District, Willie C. Lee and
Juanita M. Lee request conditional use approval and amendment
of zoning district map to permit a contractor's storage yard
in an Agricultural (A) District on 2.5 acres fronting 230
feet on the west line of Newbys Bridge Road, 390 feet south
of Sussex Drive. Density will be controlled by zoning
conditions or ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan
suggests the property is appropriate for suburban residential
II use (2.0 to 4.0 dwellings per acre). Tax ID 760-689-7204.
Mr. Ryan Ramsey presented a summary of Case 13SN0163 and
stated both the Planning Commission and staff recommended
denial because the proposed land use does not conform to the
Comprehensive Plan, which suggests the property is
appropriate for Suburban Residential II use (2.0 to 4.0
dwelling per acre) and the proposed land use is not
representative of, nor compatible with, existing and
anticipated area residential development.
In response to Mr. Warren's question relative to the
addendum, Mr. Mincks stated a unanimous vote should be made
to suspend the rules. He further stated if the Board is not
inclined to vote on the case tonight, it will automatically
go on the agenda of April 24, 2013.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns with the last minute proffer
that was submitted and stated it would be an injustice to
hear the case at this time. He stated staff has already
indicated denial due to the incompatibility with the
Comprehensive Plan requirements. He suggested deferral in
order to address the issues of opposing citizens.
Mr. Mincks stated no vote would be required if the Board was
not inclined to suspend its rules, then it would
automatically go the April 24 agenda.
Mr. Mike Creasey, an adjacent property owner, stated he does
not agree to the deferral request. He expressed concerns
relative to access into the site, material buried on the site
and impacts on area property values.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns relative to the submittal of
the addendum. He stated the Board and those in opposition
have not had adequate time to review the proffer.
Mr. Holland concurred with Mr. Warren's comments to defer the
case.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed her appreciation to those citizens who
came to speak to the proposal. She stated the Board's job is
to remain fair to all sides of the case.
Mr. Warren cautioned the applicant to not submit additional
proffers at the last minute.
The Board did not suspend its rules to allow for
consideration of the additional proffered condition;
therefore, Case 13SN0163 was automatically deferred until
April 24, 2013.
