TO CONSIDER AN QRDINANCE TO IMPLEMENT AN AMBULANCE
TRANSPORTATION FEE FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
Mr. Ramsey stated that on May 23, 2001 the Board held a public
hearing and deferred consideration of an ordinance to implement
an ambulance transportation fee for emergency medical services
(EMS). He further stated that the Budget and Audit Committee
is prepared to make a recommendation at this time.
Mr. McHale stated that it is the consensus of the Budget and
Audit Committee that the Board defer action on the ordinance
until the audited FY2001 results of operations are received in
November 2001 to determine if there might be an alternative way
to fund the EMS system improvements included in the
recommendation for revenue recovery with revenue from the
general fund in excess of the budget. He further stated that
improving EMS response time and firefighter safety is a high
priority for the Board.
Mr. McHale then made a motion
consideration of an ordinance to
transportation fee for emergency
November 14, 2001.
that the Board defer
implement an ambulance
medical services until
Mr. Warren seconded the motion, stating that the Board was in
a financial position after receiving the FY2000 audited results
of operations to make a considerable commitment above what was
already appropriated in the budget to meet the needs of the
Fire Department and EMS system. He further stated that the
Budget and Audit Committee hopes to be in a position to meet
the needs included in the recommendation for revenue recovery
after receiving the FY2001 audited results of operations.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to use of revenue in
excess of the budget for nonrecurring items.
When asked, Mr. Ramsey stated that generally the Board's
practice has been to use excess revenue for nonrecurring items,
but indicated that the additional firefighters that were funded
through FY2000 excess revenue represent an ongoing cost.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels the Board needs to be cautious
not to overextend the use of revenue in excess of budget. He
further stated that the concept of EMS revenue recovery was to
be a dedicated source of revenue to allow additional
firefighters to be hired and to address other EMS issues.
Mr. Miller stated that he feels the Board has a responsibility
to determine if excess revenue will be available to meet the
needs of the Fire Department and EMS system, and indicated that
he will support Mr. McHale's motion.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed appreciation for the efforts of the
Budget and Audit Committee and indicated that she will support
the request for deferral. She stated that she agrees with Mr.
Barber's concerns relative to being cautious when extending
excess revenue for recurring items, and noted that public
safety and EMS needs in the County continue to rise.

consideration of an ordinance to implement an ambulance

reconsidered by the Board, and indicated that staff recommended
that the policy remain and not be amended by the Board.
There was brief discussion relative to the County's cost of the
Lake Ridge Drive project.
Mr. Roger Medlock, a resident of Millside Subdivision, stated

funding for an additional access to Millside. He expressed
concerns relative to the potential for a disaster to occur
should the current access become blocked by a train.

congestion at the Courthouse Road/Route 360 intersection. He
suggested that the four entrances to Courthouse Road between

closed; Old Courthouse Road be extended to the frontage road
in front of Wings of Faith Pentecostal Church; and the traffic
that currently comes out of the four entrances come out at the

relative to the improvements scheduled for Chalkley Road. She
expressed concerns relative to bikers who travel Beach Road to

relative to the addition of a bike lane from Route 10 down
Beach Road to Pocahontas Park.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that it is extremely restrictive for both
the State and the County to make road improvements around
Pocahontas Park. She referenced various roads in the area of
the park in need of realignment and requested that Mr.
McCracken explore options to make these road improvements
possible.
Mr. Larry Sanchez, a resident of Foxcroft, expressed concerns
relative to overcrowding on Woolridge Road and Genito Road.
When asked, Mr. McCracken stated that a turning lane is
proposed for the Woolridge Road project which will help with

17,F,
TO CONSIDER AN QRDINANCE REDISTRICTING MAGISTERIAL
DISTRICT BOUNDARIES AND ADJUSTING VOTING PRECINCT
BOUNDARIES AND POLLING PLACES
Mr. Stylian Parthemos, Senior Assistant County Attorney, stated
that this date and time has been advertised for a public
hearing to consider an ordinance relating to boundary lines for
magisterial districts and voting precincts and relating to
polling places. He further stated that community meetings were
held on June 7 and June 13, 2001 to receive public comment
relative to the proposed redistricting plan. He reviewed the
current magisterial district boundaries and the current
population of each district, and stated that the population in
all five districts must be within plus or minus five percent
of average population. He reviewed the nine areas proposed to
01-522
be moved from one district to another; the new population of
each of the magisterial districts under the advertised plan;
and the proposed boundaries of all County voting precincts.
He stated that no voting precinct boundaries are proposed to
be changed by the plan except to the extent that changes are
required as a result of the movement of areas by the
redistricting plan. He noted that staff is also requesting one
additional change that was not part of the advertised ordinance
-- moving the polling place for the Winterpock Precinct from
Bethia United Methodist Church to Grange Hall Elementary School
because of a request from the church. He further stated that
after the plan is approved by the Board, it must be submitted
to Justice Department for pre-clearance under the Voting Rights
Act of 1965. He stated that staff anticipates the plan will
be implemented prior to the November 2001 general election.
Mr. Bob Olsen expressed concerns relative to unnecessarily
moving citizens from one district to another and stated that
he feels the plan should make as few changes and move as few
citizens as possible. He also expressed concerns relative to
protection of incumbents through the redistricting process.
He stated that he submitted an alternative plan at both of the
public meetings and the overwhelming majority of the people in
attendance preferred his plan to the County's plan. He
requested that the Board not approve the proposed plan or, at
a minimum, defer consideration of the plan until better changes
can be made.
Ms. Diana Parker expressed concerns relative to moving citizens
between the Dale and Bermuda Districts especially in the area
of Pocahontas State Park and questioned the involvement of all
supervisors in the redistricting process.
Mr. McHale stated that the change recommended from staff
relative to the Bermuda District makes perfect sense to him and
he supports it.
Mr. Harry Daniel stated that the process used in developing the
proposed plan appears to be similar to those used in past
redistrictings, including public involvement. He further
stated that there is no such thing as a perfect redistricting
plan, and indicated that he feels the proposed plan meets all
the criteria set forth by the federal government, has an equal
population distribution and involves minimum change. He
requested that the Board approve the proposed redistricting
plan.
When asked, Mr. Daniel stated that there was much more
controversy surrounding the 1991 redistricting plan than with
the proposed plan.
Mr. Wayne Ozmore stated that he agrees with moving Walthall
into the Bermuda District and indicated his support for the
proposed plan.
Mr. Kevin Hoeft stated that he supports the proposed plan.
Mr. Bill Hastings, a Matoaca District resident, expressed
concerns relative to moving the eastern part of the Beach
Precinct from Matoaca to the Dale District and indicated that
he supports Mr. Bob Olsen's alternative plan. He stated that
he feels citizens should reside in the District in which their
children's schools are located to ensure proper representation.
He requested that the Board defer consideration of the proposed
plan and consider Mr. Olsen's alternative plan.
Ms. Marlene Goodwyn, representing the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC), requested that the Board defer
its vote to provide adequate time for the SCLC to study the
plan and determine the impact, if any, on the minority
community.
01-523
Reverend Lawrence Pollard, representing the National
Association for Advancement of Colored People (NAACP),
requested that the Board defer voting on the plan until the
NAACP has had an opportunity to study it. He stated that he
does not feel there has been enough citizen input and expressed
concerns relative to the large number of people being
represented by one person.
Mr. Bob Herndon, a resident of Evergreen, stated that he
attended the redistricting community meetings and the majority
of the citizens present supported Mr. Olsen's plan rather than
the County's proposed plan. He expressed concerns relative to
protection of incumbents and the rationale for moving voters
in and out of the Midlothian District.
Ms. Marjorie Clark, a resident of Clover Hill District,
expressed concerns relative to an uneven distribution of
representation across the board for schools in the County
School System. She stated that the proposed plan will create
a tremendous load for the Supervisor and School Board member
who have four middle schools in their district. She also
expressed concerns relative to families being represented by
one supervisor and the school which their children attend being
represented by another. She requested that the Board defer the
issue until the districts can be matched up with an equal
distribution of schools.
Mr. Ron Stack, a resident of Matoaca District, stated that he
attended two community meetings and indicated that he feels the
proposal is fair and equitable. He stated that he is not
convinced that adding more representation would bring forth
better government, and urged the Board to approve the proposal.
Mr. Jack Wilson, a Bermuda District resident, commended the
Board for its effort in developing the plan. He stated that
he feels the proposal best serves the interests of the County
and encouraged the Board to approve the plan.
Dr. Tom VanAuken stated that he does not agree with Ms. Clark's
remarks and indicated that he feels districts are supposed to
represent communities rather than schools.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Miller stated that a perfect redistricting plan is
impossible. He further stated that he feels the proposed plan
is legally defensible; represents an equitable distribution of
the representation of the County; and serves the communities
of interest, and indicated that he will support the plan as
proposed.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to losing the Shenandoah
Precinct to Clover Hill. He stated that he is excited to be
receiving two new precincts -- one from Clover Hill and one
from Dale. He expressed concerns relative to the workload
issues for certain School Board and Planning Commission
representatives, and stated that he is willing to discuss these
issues prior to approving the plan if it is the will of the
Board.
Mr. McHale stated that he is very comfortable with the proposal
as it impacts the Bermuda District and is confident with the
County Attorney's representations that the plan meets the test
of the Justice Department, but indicated that he is willing to
give consideration to both Reverend Pollard and Ms. Goodwyn's
concerns. He further stated that he will support the plan as
proposed if it is the Board's will to vote on the issue
tonight.
01-524
Mr. Warren stated that he had very little involvement in the
redistricting process, but indicated that he feels it is a good
plan and he will support it. He expressed concerns relative
to a section of land in the Brandermill area that adjoins
Clover Hill District which is not proposed for the Clover Hill
District.
Mr. Parthemos stated that the area Mr. Warren is referring to
is a small area which composes a census block and is bounded
by Tomahwawk Creek up to where it intersects Old Hundred Road
over to the existing Clover Hill District boundary. He further
stated that there is a very small number of people in the area
with the official number from the Census Bureau being zero.
Mr. Warren stated that it would make sense physically for the
small area to be a part of the Clover Hill District.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she will agree to the area being
moved from the Matoaca District to the Clover Hill District.
Mr. Warren referenced an area on the north side of Lucks Lane
adajcent to Smoketree and questioned the population of that
area.
Mr. Parthemos stated that the tract is a small census block
currently in the Midlothian District that contains 252 people
according to the Census Bureau.
When asked, Mr. Parthemos stated that Providence Middle School
would continue as a polling precinct for the Providence
Precinct.
There was brief discussion relative to the boundary line
surrounding a small area of land bounded by Elkhardt Road and
Starlight Lane which contains 53 people.
Mr. Parthemos described the physical boundaries of the two
areas Mr. Warren had expressed an interest in -- one area
having a western boundary of Tomahawk Creek going up to the
northern boundary of Old Hundred Road and continuing with the
existing eastern and southern boundaries; and the other area
north of Lucks Lane being bounded by Walton Bluff Road as it
moves north up from Lucks Lane to Ashbrook Landing Road and
along Ashbrook Landing Road to Lakestone Drive across Lakestone
Drive along the census block line to Falling Creek.
Mrs. Humphrey reviewed the process used by the Board to draft
the proposal, and indicated that the process was different than
the past two redistricting processes by attempting not to
affect any elected official, and also being driven by growth
in the Matoaca District. She expressed appreciation to Mr.
Parthemos for his excellent legal advice surrounding the
redistricting plan. She stated that the plan is 95 percent
complete; is within the boundaries of the federal guidelines;
is supported by all Board members; and includes minimal
shifting of population from one district to another. She
expressed appreciation for the requests of Reverend Pollard and
Ms. Goodwyn, but indicated that she feels the issue should not
be delayed. She stated that she hopes to work with both
Reverend Pollard and Ms. Goodwyn in the future to ensure that
all decisions made by the Board represent the best interest of
the entire County.
Mr. Miller stated that he is confident the plan is equitable
and meets the legal standards of the Justice Department. He
further stated that he feels the plan best represents the
entire County.
Mr. Miller then made a motion for the Board to adopt the
ordinance relating to boundary lines for magisterial districts
01-525
and voting precincts and relating to polling places, as amended
with the moving of two parcels previously described and
shifting of the polling place for the Winterpock Precinct from
Bethia United Methodist Church to Grange Hall Elementary
School.
Mrs. Humphrey seconded the motion.
After brief discussion, Mrs. Humphrey called for a vote on the
motion of Mr. Miller, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey, for the Board
to adopt the following ordinance:

17 .G.
TO CONSIDER REVISING THE CURRENT LIBRARY INTERNET
FILTERING POLICY TO REOUIRE FILTERING OF ALL COMPUTERS
Mrs. Humphrey stated that this public hearing is probably one
of the most historic public hearings in the history of the
County, and requested that the speakers be brief in their
comments.
Mr. Ramsey stated that at its May 23, 2001 meeting, the Board
directed staff to advertise this date and time for a public
hearing to consider revising the current Library Internet
Filtering Policy to require filtering of all computers in the
County Library System.
Mr. Dick Page, a resident of the Clover Hill District,
expressed concerns relative to the growing number of
pornographic sites on the Internet, and stated that there is
no place in our County libraries for this type of material.
He also expressed concerns relative to unreliability of
filtering systems and the possibility of sexual harassment
lawsuits from library employees exposed to pornographic
material, and stated that because there is no mandate for the
County to furnish Internet accessibility, he feels the Board
should stop offering the entire service in the County Library
System. He stated that negative impacts of pornography include
addiction, broken homes, sex crimes and child abuse, and urged
the Board to withdraw the Internet from all computers in the
County Library System.
Senator Steve Martin stated that he does not feel pornographic
material should be available over the Internet in County
libraries, and certainly not at public expense. He further
stated that pornography is a community standard issue rather
than a liberty issue, and indicated that he feels the majority
of the County's citizens do not want their tax dollars
supporting pornographic access. He expressed concerns relative
to the 7,000 pornographic sites that were accessed in a County
library during a two-day internal audit, and stated that
Chesterfield is a better community than to allow such activity
in its public facilities at public expense. He urged the Board
to be a leader in the State by requiring filters on all
computers in the County Library System.
Mr. Wayne Ozmore, a resident of the Bermuda District, stated
that on-demand Internet access within the view of children is
not a good or ethical public policy, and indicated that he
supports filtering of all computers in the County Library
System.
Mr. Tom Wootton, a resident of the Matoaca District and member
of Southside Church of the Nazarene, stated that he feels
access to pornographic sites in public libraries is morally and
ethically abysmal and not acceptable as a community. He
further stated that libraries should be places that parents
01-539
encourage their children to visit, and adults should be willing
to make sacrifices for the well-being of children. He stated
that he feels filtering of all computers in the County Library
System is ~the right thing, the right way' and is for ~the right
reasons.' He referenced the numerous awards won by the County
for the quality of its government and stated that allowing
pornographic materials in County libraries does not represent
a total quality initiative. He urged the Board to revise its
policy to require filtering of all computers, rather than
managing material and monitoring library patrons.
Ms. Donna Rice Hughes, author of ~'Kids On-Line" stated that she
has been working on the issue of Internet safety since 1993.
She expressed concerns relative to the dangers of unrestrictive
Internet access. She provided Internet statistics, stating
that sixty percent of all web site businesses are sexual in
nature; sex is the number one searched for term; and twenty-
five million Americans visit sex sites for one to ten hours per
week. She stated that pornography has become an epidemic and
she feels it has no place in public libraries. She expressed
concerns relative to misuse of brand names that might attract
children for pornography web site use, and stated that one in
four children accidentally access pornography over the
Internet. She also expressed concerns relative to predators
who are using the public libraries to anonymously access
children and also access child pornography. She stated that
there are currently over 40,000 child pornography and pedophile
types of sites on the Internet. She provided various
statistics and facts relative to nationwide use of the Internet
for pornographic purposes and stated that libraries across the
country are dealing with the issue. She stated that
pornographic materials are not protected speech and, therefore,
filtering of pornography cannot be considered as censorship.
She further stated that filtering technology is highly
customizable and librarians can override the filters if
something is inadvertently blocked. She stated that she feels
implementing filters on all computers in the County's Library
System is a win-win opportunity because of minimized costs for
implementing all of the computers at the same time; early
compliance with the Child Protection Act; and avoidance of
liability for sexual harassment claims by library personnel.
She further stated that libraries that filter in good faith
have immunity under the Communications Decency Act, and noted
that full filtering will create a safe library environment for
all patrons and also set a precedent in the Commonwealth of
Virginia by leadership.
Mr. Steve Crampton, Chief Counsel for the American Family
Association Center for Law and Policy, commended the Board for
its courage in addressing the filtering issue. He relayed a
story about a twelve year old girl who attempted suicide after
being traumatized in a public library by exposure to
pornographic material and an illicit action by a perpetrator,
and stated that even though numerous complaints had been made
against the perpetrator, no action had been taken for fear of
interfering with his constitutional rights. He stated that the
Board is faced with the question of whether public libraries
are constitutionally prohibited from implementing a filtering
system for use of the Internet and indicated that, in his
opinion, the Board may constitutionally undertake such an
action to protect its youngest and most vulnerable citizens.
He stated that there is no constitutional right to access
sexually explicit material on the Internet. He further stated
that the right to receive information, a sub-set of the First
Amendment's free speech protection, is a secondary right and,
therefore, entitled to lesser protection, if it receives
protection at all. He noted that there are very few
constitutional cases regarding the issue. He stated that, in
order to analyze a constitutional challenge, the first step in
01-540
court will be to determine the type of forum -- traditional
public forum, designated (limited) public forum, or non-public
forum. He further stated that, in his opinion, public library
Internet represents a non-public forum and urged the Board,
when taking action relative to the issue, to identify its
intention that public library Internet constitutes a non-public
forum. He stated that a non-public forum will give the Board
the greatest freedom to exercise whatever discretion it wishes
with respect to regulation of Internet access. He further
stated that once the forum has been determined, the court will
consider tests for balancing interests of the governing body
versus the interests of plaintiffs seeking to access by
Internet sexually explicit materials. He noted that the United
States Supreme Court has made no secret of its own view of the
surpassing importance of protecting children. He stated that
he feels the County's interest in protecting both its employees
and its children surpasses the protection of persons seeking
to access sexually explicit materials in County libraries. He
further stated that he feels the current status of the County's
Internet filtering policy represents a violation of the
County's sexual harassment policy for employees. He referenced
the decision in the Loudoun County case relative to restricting
Internet access and stated that the right to receive
information was erroneously accorded as the highest degree of
protection under the First Amendment analysis and the court
failed to perform the forum analysis, and also failed to
determine whether the Internet blocking technology used was the
least restrictive means available. He stated that the Loudoun
County case should not be a bar to the Board's taking action
to limit Internet access, and noted that virtually every
legitimate obstacle has been removed for the Board to take
action. He stated that the American Family Association is
willing to stand with the Board in the event of a
constitutional challenge, and urged the Board to revise its
policy to require filtering of all computers in the County
Library System.
Ms. Mary Ann Harmon, a resident of Clover Hill District and
Friend of the Library, stated that she feels Internet filtering
will severely handicap the Internet connection in the County's
libraries. She further stated that the solution is more
complex than filtering because filters do not eliminate evil
and provide a false sense of security. She requested that the
Board set up a task force of staff and citizens to study and
recommend a total Internet management system that will protect
children, manage abuse and still make available useful and
needed information to library customers.
Ms. Andrea Brown, a Dale District resident, stated that she
does not support filtering of all computers in the County
Library System. She stated that she feels it is the
responsibility of parents to supervise their children while
using library computers. She expressed concerns relative to
the effectiveness of filtering and the restriction that
filtering would place on access to information. She suggested
that the Board appoint a task force of citizens to study the
issue.
Ms. Mary Buckner, a resident of the Winterpock area, stated
that she can think of no positive aspect of having pornography
accessible on the Internet in County libraries, and indicated
that she supports filtering of all computers in the County
Library System.
Mr. Kevin Hoeft, a Clover Hill District resident and Director
of Development for The Family Foundation of Virginia, expressed
concerns relative to the 7,000 hits on pornographic web sites
registered in the County's nine public libraries in a two-day
period. He stated that, in the past few weeks, numerous County
residents have shared with him their experiences relative to
01-541
exposure to pornography in the libraries. He further stated
that The Family Foundation supports placing Internet filters
on all public library computers to protect children and
families from the proven dangerous consequences of obscenity,
pornography and sexually explicit material. He noted that the
National Law Center for Families and Children concluded that
local governments have the authority ~'to prevent the
acquisition of illegal and objectionable pornography through
the Internet," and requested that the Board amend its policy to
require the placement of family-friendly filters on all
computers in the libraries.
Ms. Tracy Stewart, Chief Technology Officer for Family Click,
an Internet filtering service company, stated that she feels
libraries have a responsibility to protect children from the
aggressive tactics of online pornographers and from online
predators. She discussed filtering technology and techniques
used in the filtering process, including filtering by web site,
category and textual analysis. She stated that technology is
currently the only deterrent to accessing pornography on the
Internet and indicated that it is improving daily.
Mr. Curt Diemer, a Brandermill resident and President of
Creative Web Designs, stated that he feels filtering technology
does work and is constantly improving. He further stated that
he and his family are frequent users of the County libraries
and told of a recent visit where he had to shield his seven-
year-old son from a person who was viewing pornography on the
Internet. He expressed concerns relative to librarians who
have indicated that they do not support filtration.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the members of The Friends of the
Library are not County employees, but volunteers with the
Library System.
Mr. William Brown, County resident, stated that filtering
software does not work and can be defeated by a moderately
sophisticated user who wants to view pornography. He further
stated that monitoring will be required to eliminate the
viewing of pornography in the libraries. He expressed concerns
relative to legitimate information that people are entitled to
that is filtered by filtering software. He stated that, if the
Board chooses to stop access to Internet service completely,
tens of thousands of dollars invested in infrastructure will
be wasted. He further stated that the proposed action ignores
the ideals of individual freedom and individual responsibility,
and would punish the people who want to use the Internet in the
library for legitimate purposes while allowing the malefactors
to go unscathed, unpunished and uncontrolled.
Ms. Ingrid Whaley, a resident of the Midlothian District,
stated that she feels the availability of the Internet in
public libraries is one of the greatest educational
advancements of our time, and indicated that she feels its
benefits far outweigh its problems. She further stated that
there must be a less drastic way to face the issue than to deny
full access to the entire community through the filtering of
all computers in the library system. She expressed concerns
with the imperfection of filtering systems and provided
examples of various web sites that can and cannot be accessed
because of filtering.
Ms. Trish Hisle, a citizen who home schools, stated that she
relies greatly on both the public library system and the
Internet. She related several incidences where she was
attempting to research legitimate information and accidentally
entered pornographic web sites. She expressed concerns as to
the devastating effects the accidental viewing of pornography
could have on children.
01-542
Ms. Sheila Callear, a Dale District resident and member of The
Friends of the Library, stated that she finds the library
resources to be quite useful. She requested that the Board
explore all options before making a decision to ensure that the
decision is the right one for the community, the library and
the children.
Mr. Maury Bareford, a Midlothian District resident, stated
that, according to State law, customers of the public library
may not use library computers to access material that is
legally defined as obscenity, child pornography or harmful to
juveniles. He further stated that he uses a filtered Internet
provider on his home computer and is perfectly satisfied with
the degree of filtering it provides. He stated that filtering
all computers means assuring compliance with State law, in
addition to being the right thing to do for ourselves, our
families and the citizens of Chesterfield County.
Dr. Thomas VanAuken, a Bon Air resident, expressed concerns
relative to impairing the services provided by the Library.
He provided suggestions that might be implemented in addition
to some degree of filtering including locating monitors in
public positions and implementing a management access system
where patrons would have to swipe their library card through
a reader before using a computer. He also suggested that the
Board adopt a County ordinance prohibiting public display
either by hard copy or by photographic projection or video
display of materials considered obscene by community standards
on County property in areas frequented by minors. He stated
that this would provide a tool for librarians to enforce the
policy prohibiting the viewing of pornography in County
libraries.
Mr. George Beadles expressed concerns relative to the length
of time for citizen comments at the budget public hearing in
comparison to this public hearing. He stated that he supports
filtering if it goes to the point of removing Internet access
at the library.
Ms. Beverly Hickman invited the public to become members of The
Friends of the Library. She expressed concerns relative to
legitimate information she was unable to access on her home
computer when she was using an Internet filtering system, and
stated that her family discontinued using the system because
it became a hassle. She stated that filtration systems are not
foolproof and citizens may be misled into believing their
children will not be subjected to pornography because of
filtering. She suggested that, if the Board chooses to place
filtering on all public library computers, a warning sign be
placed on the computers stating that the filtering system is
not one hundred percent foolproof and suggesting parent or
guardian supervision of the computer use.
Delegate Kirk Cox expressed concerns relative to enforcement
of the County's policy which prohibits viewing pornographic
material in the libraries and stated that both he and an
overwhelming number of his constituents feel that all of the
computers in the County library system should be filtered.
Delegate Sam Nixon referenced a 1973 Supreme Court case, ~
v. California, in which the court recognized that ~states have
a legitimate interest in prohibiting dissemination or
exhibition of obscene material when the mode of dissemination
carries with it a significant danger of offending the
sensibilities of the unwilling recipients or of exposure to
juveniles.' He stated that he feels the Board would be on
solid legal ground in making a decision to filter all computers
in the County libraries and indicated that he feels the Board
has an obligation to its citizens, parents and children who
01-543
visit the public libraries to provide filtering for all of the
computers.
Mr. Warren commended Delegates Cox and Nixon and also Senator
Martin, who were willing to come out tonight and take a very
strong position relative to the Internet filtering issue.
Mr. Barber questioned whether or not the State Library filters
its computers.
Delegate Nixon stated that he does not know if the State
Library filters its computers, but noted that the legislative
delegation has dealt with the issue of Internet filtering on
numerous occasions.
Mr. Jack Wilson, a resident of the Bermuda District, stated
that he views public libraries as safe havens to provide
children with educational and informational resources. He
further stated that he strongly supports the imposition and
placing Internet filters on all computers in the County Library
System.
Mr. Alan Nason, a Chester resident, stated that he does not
feel filtering is the best method to accomplish the objective
of keeping prohibited information from children. He expressed
concerns relative to the attorneys' fees incurred in the
Loudoun County case referred to earlier. He also expressed
concerns relative to the amount of valuable information that
will be inaccessible because of filtering. He stated that, if
the Board adopts a full filtering policy, the County will be
inadvertently adopting the viewpoint of the filtering company.
He suggested other more effective and less restrictive methods
to be used to address the pornography issue -- establishing
time limits for Internet use; establishing privacy screens; and
disabling video or audio screening.
Mr. Robert Naumann, a resident of Chesapeake, Virginia, stated
that Chesterfield has an opportunity to provide leadership for
other jurisdictions in the State. He further stated that, even
though Internet filtering may not be perfect, it is still good
and useful. He stated that Internet access at public libraries
is not a right, but a privilege that can be restricted by the
Board.
Mrs. Janet Gwaltney expressed concerns as to why Library staff
failed to warn parents and individuals of the dangers of
possible exposure to pornographic material. She requested that
the Board either filter all the computers in the library system
or remove the Internet entirely.
Mr. Mike Tolbert, a resident of the Dale District, stated that
he feels filtering is a great step to the overall solution to
the Internet pornography issue. He further stated that,
although filtering technology is not perfect, it is
continuously upgraded.
Mr. Brian Humphries stated that his family home-schools and
makes weekly visits to the Enon Library. He further stated
that he does not feel free access to pornography is a service
that the County or its libraries should provide.
Mr. Wayne Modlin, a resident of the Midlothian District and
library consultant for the Library of Virginia, stated that
Hampton is the only jurisdiction in the State with a more
restrictive Internet filtering policy than the County's current
policy. He further stated that the majority of the libraries
in the Commonwealth have had Internet access for five or more
years, and indicated that very few do any kind of filtering.
He stated that the State Library does not use filtering, nor
do college and university libraries. He stated that he feels
01-544
the likelihood of filtering all computers in all of the
libraries in the State is very remote. He noted that
Chesterfield County does not currently receive federal funding
for its library system, and therefore would not be subject to
the Child Internet Protection Act.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to sexual harassment
claims that might arise from employees of the State Library who
are exposed to pornography.
Ms. Diana Parker, a Bermuda District resident, stated that many
people rely on the public libraries for Internet access. She
requested that the Board take its time and carefully consider
the options before making a decision.
Mr. Larry Sanchez stated that Internet access is not a public
right, but a privilege that does not need to be provided. He
further stated that, since filtering is not perfect, perhaps
Internet access should not be provided at all. He stated that
he does not advocate the use of tax dollars paying for someone
else's use and abuse of pornography.
Ms. Kimberly Sanchez stated that she came to the meeting in
support of filtering all computers in the County's Library
System. She further stated that, after hearing other speakers,
she now feels removing the Internet access altogether might be
the right thing to do to protect children. She stated that she
is against pornography and does not want it provided for
anyone.
Mr. Wayne Foco, a network designer and developer for network
products, stated that the majority of Fortune 500 companies
have filtering capability on their systems because of liability
for sexual harassment. He further stated that filters are
helpful and will send a message to the people who are going to
abuse the system.
Ms. Elizabeth Harding, a Matoaca District resident, stated that
she feels filtering will harm the disadvantaged in the County,
and expressed concerns relative to information that they may
be denied because of filtering.
Ms. Marjorie Clark, a Clover Hill District resident and high
school librarian, stated that she feels filtering will limit
freedom of information for thousands of Chesterfield County
residents. She expressed concerns relative to filtering
technology which is not sophisticated enough to be
discriminating or to provide adequate filtering, and provided
various incidents of inability to access legitimate sites and
inadvertent access to pornographic sites by students when
researching topics in the school library. She also expressed
concerns relative to copyright issues that might evolve with
filtering. She requested that the Board defer the issue until
a task force representing a cross-section of the community can
be formed to ensure that the decision is community based with
input from both the legal community and from librarians.
Mr. Donald Mimms, a resident of Clover Hill, stated that he
strongly recommends that filters be installed on all library
computers or the Internet provider be removed completely.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Discussion ensued relative to resuming the closed session for
consultation with legal counsel regarding specific legal
matters relating to Internet filtering in County libraries.
Mr. Warren stated that he is prepared to vote without returning
to Closed Session.
01-545
When asked, Mr. Micas stated that, by majority vote, the Board
could choose not to go back into Closed Session.
Mr. Miller indicated that he is prepared to vote.
Mr. Barber stated that because of the comments made by
attorneys this evening, he would prefer to have additional
consultation with Mr. Micas in Closed Session.
Mr. Miller stated that he is not against returning to Closed
Session if that is the will of the Board.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she does not feel it is necessary to
return to Closed Session.
After brief discussion relative to the non-public forum concept
presented earlier by Mr. Crampton, it was the general consensus
of the Board to resume the Closed Session.
Mrs. Humphrey made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the
Board to resume the Closed Session for consultation with legal
counsel regarding specific legal matters relating to Internet
filtering in County libraries.
Ayes: Humphrey, Miller, Barber, McHale and Warren.
Nays: None.
Reconvening:
The following resolution was adopted by the Board to certify
the Closed Session for consultation with legal counsel
regarding specific legal matters relating to Internet filtering
in County libraries:
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has this day adjourned
into Closed Session in accordance with a formal vote of the
Board and in accordance with the provisions of the Virginia
Freedom of Information Act; and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Freedom of Information Act effective
July 1, 1989 provides for certification that such Closed
Session was conducted in conformity with law.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Board of Supervisors
does hereby certify that to the best of each member's
knowledge, i) only public business matters lawfully exempted
from open meeting requirements under the Freedom of Information
Act were discussed in the Closed Session to which this
certification applies, and
ii) only such public business matters as were identified
in the Motion by which the Closed Session was convened were
heard, discussed, or considered by the Board. No member
dissents from this certification.
(It is noted no motion or second was made prior to voting, but
the intention to have done so was affirmed at the July 25, 2001
meeting.)
The Board being polled, the vote was as follows:
Mr. McHale: Aye.
Mr. Warren: Aye.
Mr. Barber: Aye.
Mr. Miller: Aye.
Mrs. Humphrey: Aye.
01-546
Mr. Miller expressed appreciation for the citizen input. He
stated that he feels libraries should be foremost on the list
of safe havens for children. He further stated that his
constituents have overwhelmingly expressed a desire for full
filtering. He stated that, although filtering may eliminate
some information that is legitimate, he feels full filtering
is necessary to alleviate the issue of pornography being viewed
in County libraries.
Mr. Miller then made a motion for the Board to adopt the
following resolution extending the current Library Internet
Filtering Policy to all computers in the County Library System:
WHEREAS, Chesterfield County has chosen to provide limited
library Internet access that does not expose patrons to
materials which constitute obscenity or child pornography,
materials harmful to juveniles or materials that create a
sexually harassing environment;
AND WHEREAS, the following factual background supports the
provision of limited library Internet access:
The Chesterfield County Library System, has been operated
for the study of the written word and other materials with
minimal disruption to patrons. The County selects materials
offered to library patrons pursuant to established collection
development policies and procedures and the needs and standards
of the community. In its selections, the County avoids
materials which are pornographic or which could appeal to a
prurient interest in sexual matters. The County has sought to
prohibit obscenity, child pornography and, for minor patrons,
materials harmful to juveniles and has also sought to prevent
libraries from becoming sexually-harassing environments for
patrons and staff. This library policy is consistent with the
County's long-standing practice of preventing the sexual
harassment of the County's employees and customers.
The County has recently made a number of computers
available to library patrons to provide some Internet access.
The County has attempted to ensure that library patrons did not
access obscenity, child pornography, materials creating a
sexually harassing environment, or, in the case of minors,
materials harmful to juveniles.
In 2000, the County's Internal Audit Department audited
library computers and determined that certain computers were
being used to access pornography and that the computers were
in the public areas of a number of libraries and could be seen
by staff, adult patrons and juveniles. A more recent audit
confirmed the continuing use of library computers to access
pornography.
It is apparent to the County Administrator and the Board
of Supervisors that the Library System's enforcement of
Internet access rules to date has not effectively prevented the
use of library computers to access pornography even though the
Library Director does not agree with this conclusion.
The Library System is not a commercial Internet service
provider and it is not the intent of the Board of Supervisors
or the County Administrator to create a public forum at the
library with respect to information received through the
Internet. Because each library computer functions like an
individual library facility, the County will not provide access
to every Internet site within the "library" of Internet sites
anymore than it will provide access to every book, periodical,
video or audio recording that may be commercially available.
Unlike the general operation of each library facility, a
patron's use of a library computer is non-public and is not
open to the rest of the public when being used by that patron.
01-547
The County will only provide limited access to the
Internet which does not expose patrons to materials which
constitute obscenity or child pornography, materials harmful
to juveniles or materials that create a sexually harassing
environment. There are technological protective measures
(commonly known as ~filters") available to provide the County's
limited Internet access choice. Although no such measure can
perfectly provide such limited access, there are a number of
such measures which substantially provide this limited access.
The County has chosen the measure which most closely mirrors
its limited access choice, which can best be integrated with
the County's computer system, and which operates in a ~'site-
based" manner.
The Board of Supervisors and the County Administrator
conclude that enforcement by library staff has not been
effective to date and that privacy screens have not
consistently been used by patrons who have accessed sexually
explicit sites. Furthermore, enforcement efforts by library
staff exposes staff members to the risk of viewing sexually
explicit materials and potentially creates a sexually hostile
environment for staff and patrons, contrary to the County's
established policy prohibiting sexual harassment.
Regardless of the technological protective measure chosen,
there are other informational resources readily available to
library patrons, both in printed and electronic formats, who
may want to access Internet sites that are not part of the
limited Internet access which the County has chosen to provide.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Chesterfield County
Board of Supervisors that all computers in the Chesterfield
County Library System shall be equipped with the technological
protective measures limiting library Internet access
recommended by the County Administrator.
Mrs. Humphrey seconded the motion.
Mr. Barber stated that, as the father of five daughters, he is
very concerned about what information is available in public
libraries. He further stated that he feels Internet control
begins with the parent/child relationship. He referenced the
earlier mentioned FOXXX Video issue and stated that it cannot
be compared to the Library Internet issue. He expressed
concerns relative to the ineffectiveness of filtering
technology and also to parents having a false assumption that
their children will be safe in public libraries because of
filtering. He stated that, of the millions of annual web site
hits in County libraries, only 1.35 percent are inappropriately
used and indicated that he feels government regulation is
unnecessary because the community is already responding
appropriately. He further stated that he does not agree with
the statement in Mr. Miller's motion that the 'Library System's
enforcement of Internet access rules to date has not
effectively prevented the use of library computers to access
pornography,' nor does he agree with the statement, 'the County
will only provide limited access to the Internet which does not
expose patrons to material which constitute obscenity or child
pornography.' He stated that he does not feel staff has been
provided an opportunity to show its effectiveness in enforcing
the current policy and expressed concerns relative to providing
false assurance that patrons will not be exposed to
inappropriate material. He referenced the Cincinnati filtering
system that The Family Foundation indicated it would support
that filters and also allows access upon request, and
questioned whether the Board members would support such a
system. He stated that there are a number of tools that could
be used to prevent images from being viewed by children. He
expressed concerns relative to the potential for legal
01-548
challenges of the Board's decision to filter all computers in
the library system.
Discussion ensued relative to making public information that
is discussed during Closed Session.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels it is important that the public
be advised of legal advice relative to the issue. He further
stated that he is not comfortable with filtering all computers
in the library system based on the legal advice received from
the County Attorney, but indicated that he is comfortable that
citizens have demonstrated they are responsible library
Internet users.
Mr. Barber then made a substitute motion for the Board to adopt
Internet filtering based on the Cincinnati model of library
Internet access.
Due to lack of a second, Mr. Barber's motion failed.
Mr. McHale stated that the decision does not come easily to
him, indicating that when citizens fail to observe community
standards, the government often has to put controls in place
that sanction certain actions so that the greater public good
can be maintained. He expressed concerns relative to the 7,000
hits on pornographic web sites during a two-day period, and
stated that he is a frequent visitor at the Chester Library and
would be outraged if he became exposed to pornographic material
during a visit to the library. He stated that the he feels the
resolution read by Mr. Miller reflects the community consensus
and indicated that he will support it.
Mr. Warren stated that he will support Mr. Miller's motion and
indicated that he feels Internet filtering is a standard in the
industry, and technology is continuously improving Internet
filtering systems. He further stated that he feels it would
be helpful, at some point, to set up a task force for the
purpose of studying how well the system is functioning.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that Internet access is a privilege that
the Board enjoys providing to County residents. She further
stated that she does not enjoy providing Internet access to
people who abuse the privilege to access pornography.
Mrs. Humphrey then called for a vote on the motion made by Mr.
Miller, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey, for the Board to adopt the
following resolution extending the current Library Internet
Filtering Policy to all computers in the County Library System:
