Dr. Newsome addressed the legislative delegation regarding
Chesterfield County Public Schools. He reviewed figures
relative to the number of schools in the county, population
and demographics. He stated Chesterfield County students
perform well on SOL tests, achieving 3, 096 perfect scores in
2013-14. He noted the school system's vision extends beyond
filling in the correct bubble on tests; however, problem
solving, critical thinking and collaboration are among the
skills students are developing. He reviewed the goals of the
2014-15 school year, which include strategically reducing
classroom sizes and offering more elective opportunities;
blended learning - anytime, anywhere learning; expansion of
career and technical education. He concluded the presentation
by reviewing education priorities, which include continuing
to make education a top priority to improve on Virginia's #4
national ranking; supporting local flexibility; supporting
continued SOL reform; and supporting no new unfunded
mandates.

10/22/].4
Mr. Stegmaier then addressed the legislative delegation with
a presentation highlighting the community update and FY2016
outlook, which included a quick update on the state of
Chesterfield County; a focus on recent economic development
success; and a roadmap for FY2016. He stated FY2015 marks the
first year of a new five-year budget framework, with more
than 95 percent of growth invested in public safety,
education and core infrastructure. He further stated a
balanced approach continues to be used to build FY2015 budget
with new revenue and further expenditure cuts, which include
increased dedicated revenue for schools; dedicated funds for
revenue sharing via the vehicle registration fee; more than
$2.5 million in expense cuts; and spending on par with
FY1992/93 on a per capita, inflation basis. He stated there
continues to be momentum with concentrated efforts in
economic development that have yielded tremendous results. He
noted over $3 billion in new investment since the onset of
the recession, highlighted by the 2014 announcement of the
Tranlin facility and major commitments from Philip Morris,
Capital One, Amazon and Sabra Dipping Company. He stated
there are efforts boosting local employment levels and noted
employment in the county reached an all-time high in 2013;
local payrolls were up 11,314, 10.2 percent, since the
beginning of the recovery in early 2010. He stressed the
importance of investing in and protecting K-12 funding;
continuation of revenue sharing funds for transportation;
funding commitment with the VRS restoration plan; and
protecting local revenue sources. In conclusion, he reviewed
the future outlook of the county and stated the overall
picture is brighter than last year, but challenges continue.
He further stated real estate conditions are improving, but
remain quite uneven across the county. He noted the county's
five-year plan is established, but work is needed to resolve
projected funding gaps.
Senator Watkins stated when the General Assembly meets in
January the Governor will have a revised budget plan that
will address cuts that will have to take place. In regards to
school funding, he stated it was fortunate that cuts were
avoided for K-12 in FY2015; however, it is unclear if cuts
will affect FY2016. He then addressed concerns relative to
constitutional officers and the inability to staff positions.
He noted additional judgeships were accrued in Chesterfield
County; however, supplementary staff positions are unable to
be backfilled at this time. He noted revenue projections are
undetermined until the Governor has drafted a plan.
Delegate Cox stated the delegation is working very hard on
certain priorities conveyed by both boards, especially fully
funding the restoration of VRS and SOL restructuring. He
reiterated Senator Watkins' comments relative to the
uncertainty of the FY2016 budgetary forecast. He also urged
both boards to be very specific with the delegation in terms
of their wish to eliminate particular mandates.
Delegate Dance commended the efforts and outstanding
intergovernmental representation of Ms. Mary Ann Curtin and
Mr. Shawn Smith. In regards to the 170 non-compliant
prisoners in local and regional jails mentioned in Mr.
Stegmaier's presentation, she stated per-diem costs should be
analyzed in order to add value to certain localities.

In response to Delegate Ingram's question, Mr. Stegmaier
stated there is a net cost of $40 per day in local dollars to
maintain a prisoner, with a state reimbursement of $12. He
noted it could be a detrimental cost to the county in the
future .
Delegate Robinson stated the Standards of Learning Innovation
Committee has no set plan in place to present to the General
Assembly. She further stated the committee is currently
discussing education reorganization in order to make a
difference and create change within the school system.
Ms. Jaeckle stated SOL testing used to be effective at
meeting goals, but once the No Child Left Behind Act was
enacted there was an unrealistic requirement for the end
result to be 100 percent across the board, not taking into
consideration difference in students' performance levels. She
also expressed concerns relative to remediation funding.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's comment, Delegate Robinson
stated the Standards of Learning Innovation Committee is
discussing other types of assessments that measure a child's
performance and progress.
Delegate Ware noted K-12 is a big part of discretionary funds
and represents a bi-partisan commitment to that funding. He
also reiterated Senator Watkins' comments relative to
uncertainty of cuts made through the FY2016 budget. He
stressed the importance of protecting local revenue sources
such as BPOL and Machinery and Tools tax.
Mr. Warren expressed his appreciation to members of the
legislative delegation for their continued efforts and
representation. He stated the end goal is to protect the
citizenry in the final analysis.
Mr. Holland thanked members of the legislative delegation for
participating in the discussion and serving various
constituencies.
It was generally agreed to recess to the Public Meeting Room
to continue the regularly scheduled meeting.

Mr. Robert Clay presented a summary of Case 15SN0515 and
stated the Planning Commission recommended approval subject

He further stated staff recommends approval of the proposed
sign to be located along Jefferson Davis Highway, because the
proposed electronic message center sign conforms to the
adopted Electronic Message Center (EMC) Policy; however,
staff recommended denial of the second request for a sign
along West Hundred Road because as currently located, the
proposed electronic message center sign does not conform to
the adopted Electronic Message Center (EMC) Policy relative
to separation between such signs and the requested exception
to the Policy could set a precedent for similar requests. In
14-711
10/22/14
regards to Request I, he stated the proposed electronic
message center sign to be located along Jefferson Davis
Highway conforms to the adopted Electronic Message Center
(EMC) Policy; therefore, approved of this sign is

message center sign to be located along West Hundred Road
does not conform to the adopted Electronic Message Center

these considerations, denial of this sign is recommended. He
noted however, should the Board wish to approve this sign, as
recommended by the Planning Commission, imposition of the
condition is recommended.
Mr. Allen Twedt accepted the recommendation.
