URBAN LAND INSTITUTE RVA RICHMOND REALITY CHECK PRESENTATION Mr. Andy Condlin, partner at Roth, Donner, Jackson, Gibbons Condlin, PLC, Mr. David Johannas of the Johannas Design Group, and Mr. Jeff Geiger of Hirschler Fleischer and co- chair of RVA Reality Check, presented the results of the RVA Reality Check Final Report. Mr. Johannas stated over the past 15 years, regional visioning has emerged as a dynamic and important tool for building regional consensus related to growth issues. He further stated ULI's regional visioning program of work assists districts and their partners as they plan, build upon, and implement regional exercises and visions. He stated the reality check is a visioning exercise that allows participants working in diverse groups of 8-10 regional leaders to allocate expected growth using legos on large- scale regional maps and asks the questions - How should we grow and where should we grow?; provides a region-wide awareness of the level of growth that is expected; to recognize the legitimate points of view of different stakeholders; and to lay the foundation for the development of a concrete list of next steps to assure quality growth to meet the region's needs in the future. In conclusion, he stated there is a need for further studies relative to development monitoring - location, density, and type; infrastructure costs and transit feasibility. 13-623 J J 10/09/13 In response to Mr. warren's questions, Mr. Johannas stated regional comprehensive plans were not incorporated into the study. He further stated the project was more of a marketing style study. He further stated future goals are in place to assure quality growth in order to meet certain region's desires. Mr. Gecker stated the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission makes projections about what the population counts will be in various jurisdictions twenty years in advance. He further stated infrastructure plans are created based on those projections, which ensures development in a pattern that trend lines would suggest. He stated he has yet to see anyone link a type of planning exercise with the regional infrastructure plan. In response to Mr. Gecker's inquiries, Mr. Johannas stated the purpose of the group is to provide information from a marketing study, where people seem to determine the direction the region might be headed. He further stated population projections are based on the past, whereas, marketing studies are based on the future. Mr. Gecker stated if the crowd sourcing is believed to be valid, a decision should be made to move infrastructure in the direction where it is believed to be effective. In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Geiger stated the goal of the study was not to create a plan, but to create more of a marketing tool. He further stated participants were instrumental in voicing their principles and visions of how the region should grow. Mr. Johannas stated the vision of the study matches with success stories in places where individuals have already encapsulated the thought process of how their region should develop. In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Johannas stated the density numbers are based upon the growth ring. In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Geiger stated the data presented included all nine jurisdictions. He further stated current statistics revealed that 75 percent of families in the region are without children. In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Geiger stated the current numbers show 1,700 people per half square mile of the development that exists today, within the nine jurisdictions. Mr. Gecker stated it would be interesting to see where the region ranks in the density calculation. In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Johannas stated the neighborhood of Magnolia Green remains more of a nodal location. 13-624 10/09/13 2.C. RICHMOND AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION PRESENTATION Mr. Robert Crum, Executive Director of the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission, provided a presentation to the Board of Supervisors regarding raising the standing and effectiveness of the Richmond Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) He stated initiatives were developed by the MPO Executive Committee and by consensus, the MPO Executive Committee forwarded these initiatives to the full MPO Board on September 5th. He further stated there was direction from the MPO Chair to present these initiatives to the Region's nine jurisdictions. He further stated the mission of the Richmond Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is "to serve as the federal and state designated regional transportation planning organization that serves as the forum for cooperative transportation decision-making to assure excellence in mobility and safety within and through the Richmond region." He reviewed a 4-step approach and recommendations to elevate the standing and effectiveness of the MPO which includes expanding the use of the consent agenda; transforming MPO membership; expanding the MPO study area to include the Richmond region; and name change of the organization to Richmond Region Transportation Planning Organization. In response to Mr. Holland's questions, Mr. Crum stated the initiative would not increase the flow of money throughout the region just by virtue of the 4-step approach. He further stated a strong regional voice could be effective relative to the issue of transportation and competing for state-wide funding. He noted most Metropolitan Planning Organizations are comprised of elected officials. He stated conversations among elected officials would greatly benefit MPO Executive Committee meetings in the future. Mr. Warren stated the Board has always relied heavily on Transportation staff and their valuable knowledge when representing officials at committee meetings. He expressed concerns relative to the possibility of eliminating staff representatives' presence at future meetings. In response to Mr. Warren's comments, Mr. Crum inquired if there is a need for a regional organization in the community that can address transportation from a policy perspective. He stated the proposal has some merit for conversation. Mr. Gecker stated in the current configuration, the MPO is not responsible for regional planning, but the goal is to increase the area that would be eligible for funds that flow through the organization. He expressed concerns relative to the 4-step approach and recommendations made by the committee. In response to Mr. Gecker's remarks, Mr. Crum stated the proposal would expand the area where the funds could be allocated, but there is also an opportunity to go beyond the planning, to more of a policy conversation. In response to Mr. Elswick's questions, Mr. Crum stated the initiatives came from a working group of the Chair and Vice Chair of the MPO, with staff support, and proceeded to the executive committee. He further stated he is unaware of issues relative to rural areas; however, he stated he is aware of regional transportation issues that might benefit from the type of framework being proposed. 13-625 J J 10/09/13 Ms. Jaeckle stated unelected staff persons, who represent elected officials are often more knowledgeable on all issues and often create a comfortable easiness for officials they represent. Mr. Holland inquired about the issues of the capacity to obtain additional funding and the ability to issue debt relative to transportation projects. In response to Mr. Holland's questions, Mr. Crum stated the MPO does not have any bonding authority and is merely a transportation and policy organization. In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Crum stated the majority of staff in attendance at meetings is representing their specific jurisdictions. He further stated from an allocation standpoint, there is clear direction from all the elected officials of jurisdictions. In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Crum stated it is highly unlikely that a vote relative to a project does not follow technical ranking. Mr. Gecker stated the technical rankings have controlled the organization for the good of the region for quite some time. He expressed concerns relative to politicizing an organization that was set up for an entirely different purpose. Mr. Crum expressed his appreciation for the Board's constructive remarks and concerns. 2.D. BOND AND MEALS TAX REFERENDA PRESENTATION Mr. Matt Harris provided a presentation to the Board of Supervisors regarding the bond and meals tax referenda, which included a referendum background; a focus on the school projects; the public safety component and financing the referendum. He stressed the importance of Chesterfield County being a first choice community in which to live, learn, work and raise a family and investments in the community are needed to help maintain the current quality of life. He stated referendum questions allow voters to weigh in on various local initiatives; the county has primarily used referenda to provide capital facilities; every capital project referendum since 1980 has been approved; the last referendum was in 2004 and all five questions were approved, authorizing $341.7 million for capital projects; and all but three 2004 projects are completed or in progress; the outstanding projects are in the county's current capital plan. Mr. Tim Bullis, Director of Community Relations for Chesterfield County Public Schools, reviewed the school component of the bond referendum. He stated the school project list is the product of extensive public dialogue; projects identified during the Comprehensive Plan update; projects were then scheduled and budgeted in the FY2014 capital planning process; both processes included numerous community meetings, public hearings, and citizen committees; and projects also evaluated via an independent, third-party professional (Baker report). He noted the referendum focuses on the revitalization or replacement of 10 older schools, which includes 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and 1 high school. He stated the average age of elementary schools in the referendum is 62 years, while the average age of the middle schools is 47 years. He further stated the referendum includes one new elementary school to primarily ease 13-626 10/09/13 overcrowding at Watkins and Weaver Elementary schools; also HVAC and major maintenance work (roofs, flooring, etc.) at other school sites and some renovation to central office. He noted the School package totals $304 million, implemented over seven years. Mr. Harris reviewed the public safety question focusing on the replacement of the county's emergency communications system, which is the system that dispatches and coordinates police, fire/EMS, and sheriff deputies during emergencies. He noted the current system is nearly obsolete and by 2017, the manufacturer will no longer provide parts or technical support. He stated Chesterfield County takes fiscal discipline very seriously, as evidenced by being one of only 34 triple AAA rated counties in the United States. He further stated Chesterfield County is the lowest-cost, full-service locality in the state - with the lowest local revenue burden. He noted general government and schools combined have eliminated 618 full-time positions and cut the budget by more than $50 million since FY2009 and general government per capita cost has been reduced to FY1993 levels. He stated the average real estate tax bill has declined more than 15 percent during the last five years with no offsetting change in the rate, and with no real estate tax increase for 24 consecutive years. He further stated given the economic backdrop, the county is pursuing a meals tax to help pay for the school and public safety projects in the referendum. He noted the meals tax would be legally restricted to no more than two-cents on the dollar, which would be the lowest in the state and all proceeds would be restricted to helping to fund the mortgage payments on the referendum projects. He stated the meals tax would cost the average Chesterfield household $1 per week. He noted 25 percent of the tax would be paid by non-residents. In conclusion, he stated the referendum focuses on capital needs that support core services (public safety and education) by replacing aging infrastructure; the meals tax would be restricted to helping pay for those capital projects; and voting is to commence on Tuesday, November 5th . Ms. Jaeckle expressed her appreciation to Mr. Harris and Mr. Bullis for the very informative presentation and for county and school staff's commitment and dedication to inform the public. Mr. Warren expressed his appreciation to staff for their devoted commitment to provide information relative to the referenda necessary for the voters to ensure they understand clearly the benefits of those proposals. In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Harris stated the general feedback of citizens has been positive and encouraging. Mr. Warren stressed the importance of quality of life, education and the continuation to attract young people, as well as senior adults, to the county. Mr. Elswick expressed his appreciation to staff for their dedication and commitment to provide information to the public.
