The following items were removed from the Consent Agenda for
Board discussion:
8.A.2.a. SET DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE
RESTRICTION OF THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC ON NORTH
ENON CHURCH ROAD
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. McCracken stated
through truck traffic is not currently restricted on the
section of North Enon Church Road from Leslie Lane to
Meadowville Road.
Ms. Jaeckle stated she has seen a truck traffic restriction
sign posted in this vicinity. She further stated there are
sections of North Enon Church Road where through truck
traffic should and should not be allowed.
Mr. McCracken stated there is no urgency in moving forward
with the request at this time, indicating that staff will
look at the area and report back to Ms. Jaeckle regarding the
areas where truck traffic should be restricted.
On motion of Ms. Jaeckle, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board
deferred setting a date for a public hearing to consider the
restriction of through truck traffic on North Enon Church
Road from Leslie Lane to Meadowville Road for 60 days until
the January 2014 regular meeting.

8.A.3. APPROVAL OF FY2015 PRIORITY LIST OF TRANSPORTATION
NEEDS
Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to the possibility of
acquiring funding from the state for the number 1 priority,
the Route 288 interchange improvement at Route 360. She
stated she feels the Route 10 project from I-95 to
Meadowville should be the number 1 priority, and the
possibility of acquiring funding for this project is much
higher than for the Route 288 interchange. She further
stated we know exactly what is needed on Route 10 and have
had much better success with acquiring funding for focused
projects, such as this one.
Mr. McCracken stated staff already supports the improvements
to Route 10 and is committed to the project. He further
stated it is staff's view that the $15 million shortfall
associated with the Route 10 project can be made up,
especially working through the MPOs, but there is no way to
make up the gap that exists for the Route 288 interchange
project. He stated the Route 288/360 interchange is
absolutely a critical project for the county, noting that the
investment that has been made in Route 288 was for economic
development. He expressed concerns relative to traffic
congestion and the number of accidents at the interchange and
stated this project should remain as the county's highest
priority. He stated the county should not let anyone forget
how much has been invested in its transportation system and
should not feel bad about asking the state for help with
addressing a critical need in this region. He stated the
interchanges along Route 288 were designed in 1965 and were
outdated when they were built, but there was no other way to
get the road built. He further stated it is his opinion that
we need to keep pressing the state to address this need and
make it clear that it is a state issue that they need to
support. He stated traffic forecasts indicate that there
will be 100,000 vehicles per day on that section of Route
360, indicating that that is similar to Northern Virginia
traffic volumes. He further stated there is absolutely no
question from capacity, safety and economic development
standpoints, that the interchange should be the county's
highest priority and the legislative delegation should be
asked to support it. He stated this project does not
diminish what is needed on Route 10, indicating that the
county is committed to that project and he is confident that
it will be completed.
Discussion ensued relative to the multiple improvements and
entire scope of the $300 million Route 288/360 interchange
project, as well as options for reducing costs, while still
moving traffic along Hull Street.
Ms. Jaeckle referenced the Route I-95 Interchange with Route
460 and I-85, which has been on the Crater MPO list for 20-25
years. She stated looking at projects that are more
affordable makes sense, and it sounds like staff is moving in
that direction rather than just constructing a $300 million
interchange.
Mr. Warren commended Mr. McCracken for his straightforward
approach to understanding what can be done with
transportation projects and explaining it thoroughly. He
stated he has agonized over this project for many years,
13-685
11/13/13
indicating that it impacts many communities. He encouraged
Board members to visit this area of Hull Street during peak
hours to see what it is like. He stated he agrees that the
county should not let the state out of its responsibility in
recognizing the importance of this project. He further
stated he recalls the Route 10 project coming back before the
Board because of overruns on previous projects, indicating
that the financial commitment for the project was
significant. He stated Mr. McCracken has indicated that
having the Route 288/360 Interchange as the number one
priority will not stop the county from completing Route 10,
so he cannot see any reason to revisit the list of
priorities.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. McCracken stated
VDOT should have models for this project ready within the
next three months.
Mr. Elswick stated he concurs that the interchange should be
the county's number one priority.
Ms. Jaeckle noted that Route 10 leads to the largest number
of jobs, and her only concern was the cost of the number one
priority.
Ms. Jaeckle then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for
the Board to approve the FY2015 priority list of primary and
interstate transportation needs and letter to the Virginia
Department of Transportation, Commonwealth Transportation
Board, and direct the County Administrator to forward the
list and letter to the Richmond District Commonwealth
Transportation Board member, Virginia Department of
Transportation and Chesterfield County's Legislative
Delegations. (It is noted copies of the FY2015 priority list
and letter are filed with the papers of this Board.)

11. DINNER MEETING WITH MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY'S LEGISLATIVE
DELEGATION AND SCHOOL BOARD
On motion of Mr. Elswick, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board
recessed to the Eanes-Pittman Public Safety Training Center
for a dinner meeting with members of the county's Legislative
Delegation and the School Board.
Ayes: Jaeckle, Elswick, Warren, Holland and Gecker.
Nays: None.
Reconvening:
Ms. Jaeckle thanked members of the Legislative Delegation and
the School Board members for meeting with the Board of
Supervisors.
Mr. Wyman also thanked members of the Legislative Delegation
for attending the meeting.
Mr. Carmody made a presentation entitled, "Chesterfield
County: An Outlook for Fiscal Year 2015." He provided an
economic backdrop for fiscal year 2015 and beyond, reviewing
local home values; structural labor market changes; shifts in
consumer behavior; unchecked federal deficit; and short and
long-run budget implications. He then provided details of
local management strategies, noting that considerable, wide-
ranging reductions have been made since 2009 by both the
county and schools. He stressed the importance of "getting
government right," and pointed out that the Commonwealth-
Chesterfield relationship, in particular, has been very
successful. He concluded the presentation by reviewing
highlights of the county's legislative priorities, which
include fully funding the state share of teacher VRS
increases; supporting efforts to contain costs associated
with workers compensation cases; opposing legislation
eliminating or reducing local revenue sources, including BPOL
and machinery and tools; opposing further cost shifting and
unfunded mandates; and maintaining local flexibility on local
issues.
Mr. Wyman addressed the legislative delegation regarding the
school system's key areas of focus, including safe schools;
smaller class sizes; expanded course electives; and quality
teachers in the classroom. He noted that the single most
important factor impacting the school system in the upcoming
budget will be the VRS funding. He stated the school system
and the community are concerned about ways to reverse the SOL
culture within the schools. He further stated the school
system will be providing the legislative delegation with a
list of examples of mandates that impact the schools' budget.
Delegate Cox stated he has enjoyed working with both the
School Board and the Board of Supervisors, and he thinks the
county and state are on the same page on several issues. He
further stated he agrees that the whole SOL testing regiment
needs reform. He provided details of budget challenges at
the state level.
Delegate Dance stated it is good to hear that the county and
state appear to be on the same wavelength in addressing the
SOLs, VRS and Transportation. She further stated education is
13-687
11/13/13
very important and appears to be a common theme. She stated
the delegation needs to consider the fiscal impact to
localities as legislation is introduced.
Delegate Ingram stated he has heard the message loud and
clear from every locality relative to not eliminating the
BPOL and Machinery and Tools taxes.
Delegate McQuinn stated she understands the challenges of
local government and is sensitive to them based on her
service in that area.
Delegate Ingram commended the county on its BPOL tax
structure, indicating that his Chester office does not pay
nearly as much as his Hopewell office.
Senator Marsh stated his priority is K-12 education,
indicating that it is the secret weapon for economic
development and the source of students for higher education
and industry. He further stated he is very proud of
Chesterfield's school system, but much more can be done
particularly in the area of the stress on low-income families
because all children deserve an equal opportunity to succeed.
Delegate Carr thanked the Board of Supervisors and School
Board members for communicating with the legislative
delegation and also stressed the importance of public
education.
Mr. Loupassi mentioned the RMA proposal that he will be
introducing and received confirmation that- the Board of
Supervisors has included support of the RMA proposal in its
legislative program.
Delegate Ware noted that the majority of the legislative
delegation has previously served in local government. He
concurred with Mr. Carmody that caution continues to be the
state's perspective as they move forward. He stated he
understands the need for flexibility, particularly with
schools, and he would gladly take a look at things that come
up that would impact the local government budget.
Ms. Jaeckle stated financial literacy was a good idea, but
the regulations associated with it resulted in students being
unable to take electives last year. She inquired how the
delegation could monitor the regulations that go along with
legislation.
Delegate Ware noted that the Commission on Administrative
Rules takes into consideration very specifically those types
of issues. He stated he serves on that commission and can
look at what regulatory decisions have been made pursuant to
various pieces of legislation.
Delegate Robinson stated she would like to hear from the
Board of Supervisors and the School Board regarding mandates
that have been in place for many years and are no longer
serving the purpose for which they were designed. She
further stated she is constantly impressed with the county
always taking a positive and forward-thinking approach to its
challenges.

Ms. Coyner encouraged the legislative delegation when making
school decisions that may not have an actual dollar amount
tied to them, but involves data collection, to ask themselves
who will be responsible for it and if they do not know the
answer, to ask a teacher. She expressed concerns that the
teachers are becoming overloaded with additional tasks.
It was generally agreed to recess to the Public Meeting Room
to continue the regularly scheduled meeting.

16.B. TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE COUNTY CODE RELATING TO
TECHNOLOGY ZONES
Mr. Davis stated one of the county's existing enterprise
zones will expire at the end of this month and the other one
two years later. He further stated changes in state law
resulted in Chesterfield not qualifying for new enterprise
zones to replace the expiring ones. He stated the General
Assembly has recently authorized localities to establish by
ordinance technology zones that authorize localities to grant
incentives and regulatory flexibility to businesses locating
in technology zones that are identical to what is authorized
to businesses in enterprise zones. He further stated the
proposed ordinance amendments create new technology zones
defined by the same geographical boundaries of the currently
existing enterprise zones that will ensure that the various
benefits provided by county ordinances to businesses
located within the enterprise zones will be retained in the
County Code and will not expire at the end of the month. He
noted that this is merely a name change from enterprise zone
to technology zone, enabling the county to continue to offer
these incentives. He stated staff recommends approval,
following the public hearing.
Ms. Jaeckle called for public comment.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau expressed concerns that incentives cannot
be provided for businesses throughout the entire county
rather than just in certain zones.
No one else came forward to speak to the issue.
On motion of Mr. Warren, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board
adopted the following ordinance:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE COUNTY
