6. WORK SESSIONS
6.A. PROPOSED FY2014 BUDGET
6.A.1. HUMAN SERVICES
Ms. Snead provided an overview of the proposed FY2014 budget
for the Human Services Division. She stated Human Services is
a complex division made up of 15 departments. She further
stated each department and program significantly contributes
in varying ways to the safety and quality of life of
residents. She reviewed some of the accomplishments of Parks
and Recreation, Mental Health Support Services, Youth
Planning and Development, Chesterfield County Health
District, Social Services, Libraries and other Human Services
agencies. She stated the 2014 proposed budget summary
includes a 2.7 percent increase in total Human Services
expenditures and revenue. She further stated reimbursable
startup costs for the intermediate care facility for Mental
Health Support Services and additional funding for Parks and
Recreation primarily for sports tourism initiatives and the
Library system for materials are the major drivers of the
proposed 2.7 percent increase. She reviewed the Human
Services proposed budget of $99,640,500 with 42.9 percent
coming from general fund support and the remainder of the
revenue generated from non-general fund sources. She stated
the general fund supports the departments noted as
recreation, education and culture with 80.4 percent general
fund, and the health and welfare departments are
supported/matched with 32.3 percent general fund dollars. She
then reviewed the initiatives that contribute to a safe,
informed, progressive, compassionate and healthy community.
She highlighted some division challenges which include the
impact of the state and federal fiscal situation; the impact
of Affordable Care Act/Medicaid expansion; the impact of
family and societal issues; aging buildings and
infrastructure; and community "needs" growing faster than the
ability to fund. In closing, she expressed appreciation to
the members of the Board for their support and to the staff
of the Human Services Division, the citizens that serve on
numerous boards and commissions and the Human Services
volunteers for their dedication and commitment.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question relative to statistics
of employed versus unemployed persons who use various human
services, Ms. Snead highlighted three assistance programs
that are used regularly. She stated she will be able to
gather more accurate data in the near future.

Mr. Holland commended Ms. Snead on a very thorough
presentation and recognized staff for their efforts and
continued hard work in regards to Library programs and areas
of tourism.
Ms. Snead expressed her appreciation to the Board members for
their continued support.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question regarding statistics
relative to Child/Senior Protective Services investigations,
Ms. Snead stated the majority of assessments are made as
opposed to full investigations. She further stated the total
number includes risk assessments and full investigations,
indicating that she will acquire the data and provide it to
the Board.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question regarding the economic
impact of sports tourism, Mr. Carmody stated the hotel tax
receipts were up 10 percent which averages to a 400,000
increase.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question relative to additional
school health nurse positions, Ms. Snead stated the full
number of positions were not filed by the direction of the
Board. She further stated the 10 school health nurses are
full-time employee positions, not contracted positions. She
stated she is waiting on a final decision from Schools in
that regard.
Dr. Jabari stated 10 school health nurse positions were
approved, but only 8 positions were filled in anticipation of
a potential decrease this year. He further stated funding for
two positions were roughly $60,000 per employee.
In regards to healthcare for part-time employees, Ms. Jaeckle
suggested enforcing a merit system for employees, and
awarding those employees more hours. She stressed the
importance of staying on top of employee evaluations. She
then commended Ms. Marsha Sharpe and the Social Services
Department for their efforts to keep positions filled.
Ms. Snead stated the Social Services Department is keeping
track of how unfunded mandates might impact the department
relative to affordable healthcare.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to the removal of
long-term substitute teachers and the possible impact on
children's education as a result.

Recreation Department for their efforts relating to Henricus,
the amount of interest that has developed in that facility
and the number of students that have benefited from various
programs. He stressed the importance of the libraries and the
diversity they contribute to Chesterfield County's quality of
life. He stated many thankful citizens contacted him relative
to county accommodations during local emergencies.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question regarding impacts
relative to the Affordable Health Care Act, Ms. Snead stated
there are more than 200 Mental Health part-time employees.
The cost for funding health insurance for part-time employees
in Mental Health will be $306,400 beginning in January. She
further stated the numbers in other departments are small
enough to fund through existing budgets.

6.A.2. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Dupler presented an overview of Community Development's
FY2014 proposed budget. He stated with the Board of
Supervisors' input and direction, the Community Development
department continues to make a meaningful difference in the
community on significantly important issues ranging from
economic development to revitalization. He provided a brief
review of the many successes the department has achieved. He
noted even with all of the clear successes, Community
Development, like other segments of the county is steadily
being hammered with unfunded mandates that add unreimbursed
expenses and mandate creation of unfunded positions. He
summarized proposed water rate changes for FY2014. He stated
the fixed charge will increase by less than 60 cents per
month ($1.12 bimonthly) for water with no increase for
wastewater. He then reviewed the Community Development
Division's FY2014 proposed general fund. He stated
expenditure increases in the general fund are driven by
healthcare, retirement and other fixed cost increases. He
further stated Community Development's efforts will continue
to focus on the implementation of comprehensive plan elements
and will create opportunities for public comment and input
into these efforts. He stated departments including
Environmental Engineering, Transportation, Planning and
Utilities will continue to focus on developing, improving and
renewing our infrastructure in the most cost effective manner
possible. He stated coupled with the Board of Supervisor's
direction and guidance, it is anticipated that the county's
revitalization efforts will broaden in scope in the near
future. He expressed appreciation to the staff of Community
Development, and to the Board for their support. In closing,
he introduced Mr. Teal Barber, a Thomas Dale High School
National Honors Society member and president of the Student
Advisory Council.
Mr. Barber, a tutor at the Greenleigh Educational Cottage,
shared his experience volunteering through a community
partnership.
Ms. Jaeckle stated Greenleigh Educational Cottage has created
an after-school learning environment that students look
forward to at the end of the school day. She further stated
without a budget or dedicated resources, the concept grew to
involve what has become a model for others to replicate. She
commended Chief Bob Eanes and Ms. Carrie Coyner on the
success of the after-school program.
Mr. Elswick, Ms. Jaeckle and Mr. Holland highly praised Mr.
Barber for his outstanding efforts and contributions to the
community.
Mr. Holland commended Mr. Dupler on an informative
presentation, especially in reference to the modernization
guide that was distributed to the Board. He stressed the

03/13/13
In response to Mr. Elswick's question regarding a tiered
water billing system, Mr. Dupler stated a sought-out goal is
to reduce irrigation usage in the summer months. He further
stated summertime usage of water is double to water used in
the winter months. He stated the annual usage in gallons in
the winter averages to 38 million gallons and 70 million
during the summer per day. He further stated there would be a
substantial difference in the community if the consumption of
water for irrigation was reduced.
Mr. Elswick made a request to Mr. Stegmaier to continue
dialogue relative to the creation of a tiered water billing
system.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Dupler stated a
significant portion of rates goes towards reserving capital
or saving money to develop major utilities. He further stated
to upgrade the water treatment plant, a portion came from a
savings account paid for by rate payers, another portion from
expansion through connection fees.
Mr. Holland noted that the county has received a AAA rating
for Utilities, which signifies great leadership, great
prudence and financial responsibility.
Ms. Jaeckle highly praised the Transportation Department for
the various road projects throughout the county and
prioritizing funds. She stated transportation infrastructure
is important to sustain job stability and minimize traffic
impacts on current residents.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question relative to
revitalization of infrastructure, Mr. Dupler stated the key
to revitalizing schools is to select the location and target
the improvements, such as drainage, sidewalks and
streetscapes, and leveraging them in one place.
Ms. Jaeckle stressed the importance of sidewalks in areas of
the county that would serve the community well.
