Buy out of Trailer Leases
Administrator's Comments:
County Administrator:
tardAction Requested:,
Transfer on September 1, 1994, $280,964 from the CIP Reserve for School Projects to
the School Capital Project Fund for the purchase in FY95, of one hundred twenty-five
(125) trailers currently under lease.
Summary of Information:
The School Board has requested authorization to use $280,964 from the CIP Reserve to
fund the purchase, in FY95, of one hundred twenty-five (125) trailers currently under
lease. Repayment of this amount to the ClP Reserve will be made on July 1, 1995 from
operating funds designated in previous years for trailer leases.
Pertinent information and evaluation/analysis of various alternatives is attached.
According to school staff, this proposed alternative is expected to save $258,000 over the
next three years when compared to the current method for securing temporary classroom
space.
If approved, the available balance in the school ClP Reserve will be $466,296 (this
available balance is net of the $1.58 million designation for John Tyler Community
College).

CCPS MEMORANDUM #116 (93-'94)
FROM: OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDEN1v
SUBJECT: PROPOSED FY1995 BUY OUT OF TRAILER LEASES
JUNE 28, 1994
PERTINENT INFORMATION:
The following describes a proposal to borrow $280,964 from the CIP Reserve, on
September 1, 1994, to execute the option to purchase trailers we currently have
under lease. Repayment would be made on July 1, 1995 from operating funds
designated in previous years for trailer lease. The goal of this proposal is to
provide the necessary temporaryclassroom space using the most economical method
possible.
EVALUATION/ANALYSIS:
In determining the most economical method to provide temporary classroom space,
three alternatives, each covering a three year period beginning in FY1995, were
developed. Alternative I was to purchase the trailers at the point of lowest
total cost to Chesterfield County Public Schools. Alternative 2 was to purchase
the trailers as possible within existing line item budget limits. Alternative
3 was to continue leasing the trailers.
Under Alternative 1, the cumulative cost for each of the years FY1995, FY1996,
and FY1997 was determined for each of the trailers currently under lease. For
each individual trailer, the year in which the cumulative cost was lowest was
designated as the year in which the trailer should be purchased. That
methodology resulted in a recommendation for Alternative i to purchase all but
ten (10) of the trailers effective September 1, 1994 and the remaining ten (10)
trailers effective September 1, 1995. The FY1995 cost to purchase one hundred
twenty-five (125) trailers is $1,131,000. The current trailer lease budget for
FY1995 is $850,000, resulting in a shortage of $28%.964. The cost in the second
year to purchase the remaining ten (10} trailers currently under lease is $7,129.
There will be no rental cost in the third year for a total three year cost under
Alternative I of $1,138,129.
Alternative 2, a plan designed to remain within the existing budget for trailer
lease of $850,000, used the same methodology as Alternative 1. The number of
trailers to be purchased in FY1995, however, will be lower in order that the
total expenditure for purchased and leased trailers does not exceed the current
budget of $850,000. This results in an expenditure of $849,111 in FY1995. The
remainder of the trailers would be purchased in FY1996 at a cost of $413,903.
There will be no rental cost in the third year. The resulting three year cost
would be $1,263,015 or $124,886 more than Alternative 1.
In Alternative 3, trailers would continue to be rented as long as there is a need
for temporary classroom space unless they become property of Chesterfield County
Public Schools because the contract has a lease-to-own clause. That clause will
provide forty-two (42) in September 1995, twenty (20) in September 1996 and
forty-three {43) in September 1997. This method will result in a cost of
$629,593 in FYlgg5, $438,613 in FY1996, and $328,206 in FY1997. In addition,
under this alternative, there are twenty-nine {29) trailers for which there is
no lease-to-own option. For those trailers, we will continue to pay $115,380
annually for as long as they are needed. This would result in a three year cost
of $1,396,413 with the continuing $115,380 payment, thereafter. The total three
year cost for Alternative 3 is approximately $258,000 more than in Alternative
1.
Chesterfield County Public Schools will have a continuing need for additional
trailers, since the student population is projected to expand at nearly 1,200 per
year and we are not building classrooms at that rate. By purchasing the trailers
as early as possible and eliminating the annual rental cost, the funding
previously designated for trailer lease can be used to purchase the additional
trailers in future years without an increase in the facilities budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the School Board approve the Alternative ) buy out plan
and request the Board of Supervisors to authorize the use of $280,964 from the
CIP Reserve on September 1, 1994 to fund the FY1995 purchase of one hundred
twenty-five (125) trailers currently under lease. Repayment will be made to the
CIP Reserve on July 1, 1995. This alternative is expected to save $258,000 over
the next three years when compared to current method 'for securing temporary
classroom space (Alternative 3).

Streetlight Replacement Approval
County Administrator's Comments:
CountyAdministrator:
BoardAction Requested:
This item requests Board approval of the replacement of 26 streetlights in the Rivers Bend Development
of the Bermuda District.
Summary of Information:
BACKGROUND:
Pioneer Properties III, Inc., developer of Rivers Bend, has requested that the 26 colonial style
streetlights currently installed there be replaced by 26 acorn style streetlights on fluted fiberglass poles.
Pioneer Properties III, Inc. has further agreed to bear the $13,196.81 cost of this replacement project if
approved by the County. The existing 26 colonial style streetlights cost the County $9.24 per month
each for electrical services. This is the minimum charge for an 8000 lumen streetlight. The acorn style
lights would each have a monthly charge of $19.06, a increase of $9.82 per light per month. The
replacement of these lights will increase yearly operating costs for streetlights by $3,064, constituting
a 2 percent increase in electrical services charges.
Pioneer Properties has estimated that they will have a future requirement to install an
additional 17 acorn style lights in this development. While the installation costs would be born by
Pioneer Properties under the New Development Streetlights Program, over time these installations will
result in $9,830 per year in service costs for 43 acorn style streetlights compared to $4,768 for 43
standard style streetlights.

BoardAction Requested:
Summary of Information:
The CEO group has met and discussed the proposal for the
Richmond area to host the U. S. Olympic Festival and,
specifically, the need for additional sports facilities to
accommodate the Festival. The Sportsbackers, the lead
organization for the bid, have rallied significant support for
attracting the Olympic Festival to our region. Earlier this
month, approximately 140 people visited St. Louis to attend some
of the opening events associated with the Festival. We believe
that an event like this can have a very positive economic impact
on the region.
This resolution does not make any commitments for the
Virginia Swimming and Diving Center, but expresses our intent to
be a part of the project and requests that further study and
analysis be completed for the project.

Approval of Proposed Financing
Count}, Administrator's Comments:
County Administrator:
BoardAction Requested:
The Capital Region Airport Commission has requested that member localities approve the
issuance of bonds or other financial obligations of the Commission for the purpose of
funding proposed expansions of the Airport. Approval by the Board of Supervisors is
required by the Commission's enabling legislation and by the internal Revenue Code for
tax exempt bonds.
Summa~ of Information:
The Board's approval of the plan does not constitute an endorsement of the
creditworthiness of the project, does not create a moral obligation for the County to pay
the obligations, and does not pledge the faith and credit of the County. The proposed
obligations will be secured by revenues of the projects, passenger facility charges, or other
Commission revenues. Therefore, the proposed financing will not directly impact the
county's debt capacity.
The financing will provide for expansion of the terminal building, parking facilities,
extension of runways and taxiways, and other improvements outlined in the attached "Plan
of Finance."
The Commission held a public hearing on the "Plan of Finance" on July 15, 1994. The
Board of Supervisors is not required to hold a public hearing on the Plan. The
Commission has asked that the Board approve the attached resolution authorizing
issuance of the obligations at this meeting in order to allow critical portions of the project
to proceed.

CAPITAL REGION AIRPORT COMMISSION
Exhibit A
Airport Development Program
PLAN OF FINANCE
The Capital Region Airport Commission (the "Commission") was
created by and pursuant to chapter 537 of the Acts of Assembly of
1975, as amended, and continued by Chapter 380 of the Acts of
Assembly of 1980, as amended (the "Enabling Act") and is
authorized to issue its bonds or other obligations for the
purpose of financing, among other things, the cost of
maintaining, enlarging and improving any of its facilities. The
Commission is undertaking a capital expansion program (the
"Airport Development Program") that presently consists of the
following projects:
The acquisition, construction and equipping of an
expansion to the Commission's existing terminal
building, such expansion to consist of an approximately
24,000 square feet expansion of Concourse "A" and the
addition of approximately four gates and the expansion
of the existing baggage claim area;
The acquisition and renovation or construction and
equipping of an office/administration building to
consist of approximately 40,000 square feet and
associated real estate;
The renovation, expansion, conversion and equipping
(including site work) of the current WADS hangar for
air cargo purposes and for aircraft maintenance
purposes;
The acquisition and construction of additional parking
facilities for approximately 2100 vehicles;
The construction, reconstruction, relocation, extension
or rehabilitation of the control tower;
The construction, reconstruction, extension or
rehabilitation of taxiways and runways;
The purchase of air-rescue-fire fighting and snow
removal equipment;
The construction and reconstruction of drainage
improvements; and
The acquisition, construction or renovation of other
functionally related and subordinate facilities.
The Commission may also refund all or part of the
outstanding principal balance of its $4,120,000 Airport Revenue
Note (the "1984 Note"). The 1984 Note was issued December 12,
1984, to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of
improvements to the terminal building and related facilities.
The present outstanding balance is approximately $1,648,000.
The Airport Development Program will provide better airport
services to the inhabitants of the Participating Political
Subdivisions (as that term is defined in the Enabling Act), which
presently consist of the City of Richmond and the Counties of
Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico. The Airport Development
Program will promote the welfare, convenience and prosperity of
the inhabitants of the Participating Political Subdivisions and
the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the increase of their commerce.
The Commission anticipates that it will finance or refinance
all or a part of the Airport Development Program through the
issuance of its bonds, notes or other obligations in an aggregate
maximum amount now estimated not to exceed $80,000,000. As
described further below, the Commission also contemplates that it
may also issue bonds, notes or other obligations to refund any
bonds, notes or other obligations issued to finance or refinance
the Airport Development Program, also in an aggregate maximum
amount now estimated not to exceed $80,000,000. Any such bonds,
notes or other obligations and refunding bonds, notes or other
obligations are together referred to in this plan of finance as
"Obligations". Obligations for initial financing or refunding
may be issued at different times in several series of different
amounts, with the timing, amounts and number depending on the
Commission's need for funds and the market conditions. The
Commission expects that the first issuance of Obligations will
occur no later than one year after the approval of the last
Participating Political Subdivision to approve the issuance of
the Obligations and the general purposes thereof and the last
such issuance to occur no later than three years after the first
issuance pursuant to the plan of finance.
The Obligations may be issued on either a taxable or tax-
exempt basis and may be secured by or payable (i) from the
revenues of the Commission generally, (ii) exclusively from the
income and revenues of the Airport Development Program or any
part thereof, (iii) exclusively from the income and revenues of
certain designated projects of the Airport Development Program,
or (iv) from passenger facility charges approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration and collected by or on behalf of the
Commission. The Commission may additionally secure the
Obligations by a pledge of any grant or contribution from a
Participating Political Subdivision, the Commonwealth of Virginia
- 2 -
or any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof,
any federal agency or any unit, private corporation,
copartnership, association, or individual, as such Participating
Political Subdivision, or other entities may be authorized to
make under general law or by a pledge of any income or revenues
of the Commission, or where such mortgage has been approved by
the Participating Political Subdivisions, a mortgage of any
facilities of the Commission. The Commission may also obtain
credit enhancement, such as bond insurance, to secure the
Obligations, but it does not now contemplate that it will seek
the moral obligation support of the Participating Political
Subdivisions. The Obligations shall not be a debt of the
Commonwealth of Virginia or any political subdivision thereof
(including the Participating Political Subdivisions), other than
the Commission, and neither the Commonwealth of Virginia nor any
political subdivision thereof (including the Participating
Political Subdivisions), other than the Commission, shall be
liable thereon, nor shall such bonds be payable out of funds or
properties other than those of the Commission.
While the Airport Development Program likely will be
financed ultimately through the issuance of the Commission's long
term revenue bonds, the Commission anticipates that it will
finance some or all of it initially through a short term credit
facility, line of credit or bond anticipation notes.
Accordingly, the plan of finance includes not only the issuance
of bonds, note or other obligations in an aggregate amount now
estimated not to exceed $80 million to finance the Airport
Development Program, but also the issuance of refunding bonds,
notes or other obligations, also in an aggregate amount now
estimated not to exceed $80 million, to refinance indebtedness
issued to finance or refinance the Airport Development Program.

Subject:
Consideration to appropriate from the Utility Inducement Fund an amount not to exceed $25,000
to pay for water and wastewater capital recovery charges to serve a parcel currently optioned by
the County fronting Ruffin Mill Road and known as Tax Map Parcel #150-9-1-7.
County Administrator's Comments:
County Administrator:
Board Action Requested:
The Board of Supervisors is requested to authorize the use of the Utility Inducement Fund in an
amount not to exceed $25,000 for water and wastewater capital recovery charges based on the
need of water and wastewater meters (1 1/2 inch each) to serve tax map parcel #150-9-1-7.
,,,Summary of Information:
The Department of Economic Development has been working with Hill Refrigeration, Inc. to
locate a major manufacturing f:acility in Chesterfield County. The company plans to design and
manufacture a new product line of refrigeration display cases from the proposed facility. To
induce this company to locate to Chesterfield County the Board of Supervisors, at a regularly
scheduled meeting on May 11, 1994, approved by unanimous vote to use Utility Inducement
Funds for the extension of water to the property and to pay off sewer assessment and develop-
ment district fees on 20 acres of tax map parcel #150-9-1-7. The purchase of Hill Refrigeration,
Inc. by another refrigeration company has resulted in the need to approximately double the size of
the originally proposed facility and significantly increase their initial employment projection.
Staff Recommendation:
As an inducement to capture the additional employment and investment, staff recommends that
the Board of Supervisors appropriate from the Utility Inducement Fund an amount not to exceed
$25,000 for water and wastewater capital recovery charges.

County Administrator:
BoardAction Requested:
Staff recommends that the County Administrator be authorized to execute the Police Mutual Aid
$oint Aviation Agreement on behalf of the County.
Summary of Information:
Chesterfield County, Henrico County and the City of Richmond originally executed an
agreement effective January 4, 1988 which created a joint Public Safety Aviation Unit. This

surveillance purposes. On April 27, 1988, the Board approved an amendment to the agreement
which added a third aircraft to the Aviation Unit. The third plane is jointly owned by all three
jurisdictions.
If the Board of Supervisors desires that the agreement continue in effect for the 1994-1995
fiscal year, it is necessary that the Board authorize the County Administrator to execute on behalf
of the County an agreement substantially in the form of the attached agreement. The County
Attorney has reviewed the attached agreement and approved it as to form.

Economic Market Analysis and Strategy for Central Area Plan
County Administrator's Comments:
Coun~Administmtor:._~~
BoardAcfion Requested:
Authorize $38,000 to retain an Economic Market Consultant and provide
staff support to develop the economic analysis and strategy.
Summary of Information:
The purpose of this proposed market analysis is twofold: 1) to include
more detailed economic analysis as part of the Planning Department's
current update of the 1986 Central Area Plan, and 2) provide valuable
information about market trends to existing and potential future
businesses in the area.
As part of the Central Area planning process, to date, thirteen
community meetings have been held in the study area. Although a variety
of issues and concerns were discussed at the meetings, one prominent
issue raised by citizens and businesses in the study area centers on the
current, as well as the future, economic vitality of the Central
Chesterfield County. Identified concerns include changing demographics,
vacant and underused land along the Rt. 10 Corridor, the development
potential of land surrounding the County's airport, the redevelopment of
older commercial centers, the long term impact of vacant commercial
buildings on commercial centers and surrounding residential areas, and
the possible adaptive reuse of older, existing commercial and non-
residential structures such as vacant churches.

Scope, Cost Estimates and Scheduling
The scope of the Central Area Market Analysis would be similar to the
analysis recently completed in conjunction with the pending Route 360
Corridor Study, and would include a demand analysis and general
recommendations for future residential, office, retail and industrial
development.
Planning Department project scheduling originally called for a draft of
the Central Area Plan to be reviewed by the Planning Commission this
fall. Assuming six months for preparation of the proposed market
analysis, completion of the draft plan would be delayed until the spring
of 1995 in order to include necessary findings and recommendations.
The total cost of the study is estimated by Planning Department Staff to
be $38,000. These funds will be used to hire an Economic Consultant to
prepare the analysis and implementation strategy, printing of documents,
marketing brochures and related staff data collection and other support
tasks.

BoardAction Requested:
The Board of Supervisors is being requested to appropriate $8,000.00 to
purchase approximately 550' of concrete pipe.
Summaryoflnformation:
The Chester Presbyterian Church located at the corner of Route 10 and
Osborne Road has been preparing for expansion over the past 10 months.
There have been numerous meetings with area residences where citizens
expressed their concerns regarding existing drainage patterns, as well
as the potential affect of a BMP facility needed for quantity control
on-site. There have been approximately three different designs which
are all approvable; however, only one meets the needs and requirements
of the church and the four citizens. Some of the citizens will be
dedicating easements, the County will supply the pipe for the existing
and proposed off-site residential easements, and the church will provide
all additional materials and installation costs for the off-site
improvements. The cost of purchasing the pipe will be $8,000.00.
Mr. McHale has been kept apprised of the different alternatives and is
comfortable with the final results.

Special Project Agreement with Central Virginia Waste Management
Authority for Waste Tire Recycling.
Count}, Administrator's Comments:
CountyAdministrator:
BoardAction Requested:
(1.) Authorize the County Administrator to execute a Special
Project agreement with the Central Virginia Waste Management
Authority (CVWMA) for a Waste Tire Recycling program and set fees
at a level to recover cost (estimated at $1.25/tire). (2.)
Appropriate $25,000 in anticipated revenue and expenditures.
SummaryofInformation:
Currently, Chesterfield County collects and recycles used tires,
from citizens only, at the Northern Area Transfer Station (the
former Northern Area Landfill). The Central Virginia Waste
Management Authority has entered into an agreement with a tire
recycling vendor that will provide the County the opportunity to
recycle tires from commercial tire generators, as well as the
general public. Commercial business bringing tires to the landfill
will continue to pay disposal charges for each tire. Because this
contract also proposes for disposal of tires from the commercial
sector, it will enhance the County's tire recycling program. The
additional expense for disposal will be offset by the anticipated
increase in revenue. Residents will still be permitted to bring up
to four tires to the transfer station for recycling at no charge.
Funds for Residential Tire Recycling have been appropriated in the
FY 95 budget.

Budget and Management Comments:
A total of $773,000 was appropriated this fiscal year for the construction of two warehouses -
a multifunctional Fairgrounds warehouse and a county General Services warehouse. Bids for
constructing the two warehouses are being solicited in two separate bids.
The low bid of $407,999 to construct the Fairgrounds warehouse is approximately $83,000 over
staff estimates. This overage is due to items added to the building at the request of the
Christmas Mother (kitchen area, office, storage, etc.) and to poor soils on the site. In addition,
this bid assumes that the warehouse will be half split - block rather than metal. Staff will be
evaluating metal versus masonry in the near future. Opting for metal may save approximately
$25,000 to $30,000. The General Services warehouse has not yet been bid - bids are expected
the latter part of August. Funds are available to award the referenced contract for the
Fairgrounds warehouse; however, given this unexpected high bid, it is unlikely that sufficient
funds will be available to complete construction of both contemplated warehouses.
Total funds for both warehouses will be evaluated once bids are received for the General Services
warehouse. At that time, staff will evaluate the need for additional funding in order to complete
these projects.

Award of Construction Contract for County Project #93-0294R,
Crosstimbers Court Water Line Rehabilitation
County Administrator's Comments:
County Administrator:
Board Action Requested:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors award the construction
contract to Gerald K. Moody, T/A Southern Construction Company, and
authorize the County Administrator to execute the necessary documents.
Summary of Information:
The project involves replacement of an old 4" cement asbestos water line
and pavement restoration. As a result of sewer service settlements, the
existing 4" water line has failed numerous times. In addition to
replacing the 4" water line, we will have to repave the street and
replace existing curb and gutter.
We received one (1) bid in the amount of $105,240.00. We discussed the
possibility of rebidding with our engineering consultant and decided to
negotiate with the single bidder. Through our negotiation with the
contractor, we agreed on a price of $98,970.00.
Funds for this project are available in the current CIP.

County Administrator:
BoardAction Requested:
Approval of Change Order to Walter C. Link, Inc., in the amount not
to exceed $200,000 for the construction of the final cap at the
Northern Area Landfill
Summary of Information:
In order to complete this project prior to the onset of bad
construction weather, it is imperative that additional equipment be
added to aid Walter C. Link, Inc., at this time. The project has
been delayed due to unexpected heavy spring rains that slowed down
earth moving activities. Additionally, the volume of earth
required to be moved is somewhat greater than estimated in the
original scope of the project. Staff is concerned that at the
present construction rate, this project will not be completed by
fall, which greatly increases the chances of this project not being
completed until Spring 1995. The Department of Parks and
Recreation Softball Complex will also suffer as a result, which
means that this complex will not be available for play in the
Spring 1995 as needed. By adding the additional earth moving
equipment, we will be able to capitalize on the excellent
construction weather in order to complete the project by October
30, 1994, which will also assist the construction of the Softball

Set a Public Hearing for August 24, 1994 to Consider an Amendment to Section 8-12.7 of the Code
of the County of Chesterfield Relating to Interest Paid on Tax Refunds.
Count~ Administrator's Comments:
CountyAdministrator:
BoardAction Requested:
Set a public hearing for August 24, 1994
Summary of Information:
The County historically has not had a clear policy on paying interest on erroneously assessed
tax refunds resulting in an inconsistent treatment of taxpayers. In most cases, interest is not paid
on refunds because the amount of tax collected is minimal and the money has been held for a short
period of time. But in special cases, when a large amount of tax has been assessed due solely to
an error of the County Assessor or Commissioner of Revenue and held by the County for a long
period of time, the refund is paid by the Treasurer with interest. A rate of ten percent (10%) is
sometimes used because that is also the rate charged by the County for taxes paid late. In other
cases, a rate equivalent to the rate received by the County from investing the tax receipt is used.
State law allows the County to adopt an ordinance providing for the payment of interest for
tax refunds. Staff recommends setting a public hearing to consider amending the Coun _ty Code to
provide by ordinance that tax refunds shall be paid by the Treasurer only when (i) the tax was
erroneously assessed due to the fault of the Commissioner of Revenue or the Real Estate Assessor;
(ii) the tax has been held for greater than thirty days; (iii) the amount of interest exceeds $100; and

(iv) that the interest paid shall be at a rate equal to the interest rate the County received by
holding the funds in the County's investment portfolio, provided such rate does not exceed ten
percent (10%). As this amendment will simply codify existing practice, the Treasurer anticipates
no significant financial impact as a result of this amendment. The amendment will apply to refunds
paid by the County voluntarily as well as to refunds paid as a result of judgments or settlements
of erroneous assessment litigation. Currently, there are approximately four erroneous assessment
cases pending, one of which is in the. process of being settled and would be affected by the adoption
of this ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE COUNTY
OF CHESTERFIELD, 1978, AS AMENDED, BY AMENDING
AND REENACTING SECTION 8-12.7 RELATING TO
TAX REFUNDS
BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County:
(1) That Section 8-12. 7 of the Code of the County of Chesterfield, 1978, as amended,
is amended and reenacted to read as follows:
Sec. 8-12.7. Refunds.
(a) If the commissioner of revenue or the real estate assessor is satisfied that he has
erroneously assessed any taxpayer with a local tax, he shall certify to the treasurer the
amount erroneously assessed. If the tax has not been paid, the taxpayer shall be exonerated
from payment of the tax. If the tax has been paid, the tax together with applicable penalties
and interest shall be refunded to the taxpayer in accordance with Code of Virginia, section
58.1-3990.
(b) All erroneously assessed taxes refunded under this section which were
erroneously assessed due solely to the fault of the commissioner of' revenue or the real
estate assessor and not due to the fault of the taxpayer in filing his return and were held by
the County_ for more than thir _ty (30) days shall be be repaid pursuant to Code of Virginia
section 58.1-3991 with interest. The interest paid under this subsection shall be paid at a
rate equal to the lesser of (i) the average interest earned on the County's investment
portfolio as reported in the treasurer's quarterly reports to the board for the periods of time
such taxes were held by the County or (ii) the rate imposed by the County for delinquent
taxes. Such interest shall run from the date such taxes were required to be paid or were
paid, whichever is later, and shall only be paid if the amount of interest owed exceeds one-
hundred dOllars ($100).
(b_c) No tax refund shall be made under this section if the request for a refund was
made more than three (3) years after the last day of the tax year for which the tax was
assessed.
(e_d) The refund procedure established by this section shall not apply to refunds
resulting from the decision of the commissioner of revenue to reclassify a business for
business license taxation. Such refunds may, however, be processed in accordance with Code
of Virginia, section 58.1-3980 and 58.1-3981.
(2) That this ordinance shall become effective immediately upon adoption.

Assistant County Attorney

P.O. Box 40
Chesterfield, Virginia 23832-0040
June 19, 1994
Dear Mr. Fitzgerald:
I am responding to the letter you sent regarding the raffle
permit application submitted by the Chesterfield Junior Woman's
Club. First I would like to point out that our name was
officially changed from Stanhope Junior Woman's Club to
Chesterfield Junior Woman's Club in February 1994. I have
enclosed a copy of the letter that was sent to the Virginia
Federation of Women's Clubs (VFWC) regarding this change. The
change was confirmed via telephone conversation between Vicki
Marks, Executive Secretary and Charlotte Council, past president.
While trying to find the information you requested I have
realized that there are two errors in our application - the date
we were federated and our 501 (c)(3) status. I spoke to Vicki
Marks at VFWC Headquarters [(804)288-3724] and was told that the
Junior Woman's Clubs are not chartered nor do we have any
articles of incorporation. She sent me a copy of our club's
original application for membership which documents when our club
was federated, August 22, 1969. I have enclosed this with this
letter. You will notice that I mistakenly wrote on the
application that we were federated in 1970.
Our club is a member club of the VFWC and the General
Federation of Woman's Clubs (GFWC) and pays yearly dues to these
parent organizations. Vicki Marks of VFWC informed me that GFWC
and VFWC both have 501 (c)(3) status, but this status does not
cover the member clubs. I called the local IRS office and
determined that our club had never individually filed for 501
(c)(3) status so we can not claim this as I did on this
application. Although our bylaws don't explicitly say we have
501 (c)(3) status, they are confusing and I will encourage the
club to clarify them in the future.
At this point I am not sure if we will still qualify for a
raffle permit. Please let me know if there is any other
information I can provide. Thank you for all of your time and
consideration.
Sincerely,
Alice M. Eggleston

Dear Vicki:
This letter is to inform VFWC Headquarters that the members
of the STANHOPE JUNIOR WOMAN'S CLUB voted at their last meeting
held on January 13, 1994 to change their name to CHESTERFIELD
JUNIOR WOMAN'S CLUB. This name has been researched to the best
of my ability and I can find no other Federated club using the
name Chesterfield Junior Woman's Club.
We would like to begin using the new club name effective at
our next meeting scheduled for February 10, 1994. If there is a
problem with this or if we need to do anything else, please give
me a call at (804)276-9715 as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this
matter.

In order for the Public-Private Partnership to transact business, each locality has been asked
to approve By-laws for the Partnership. Hanover, the City of Richmond and the Chamber of
Commerce have approved the attached By-laws. Mr. Daniel has suggested that the By-laws be
revised to require that 75% (three of four) of the localities and 75% (three of four) of the Metro
Chamber approve any action by The Partnership. The existing By-laws permit action on ordinary
matters so long as two members from both the public and private directors (two of four) approve
the action. Extraordinary matters such as approval of the budget or hiring of the President require
75% approval from the public and private sector under the existing By-laws. Henrico County today
is also considering revised By-laws as shown.

transfer to the county possession and title to all facilities and property, real and
personal, related to its cable television system free from any and all liens and
encumbrances not agreed to be assumed by the county in lieu of some portion of the
purchase price. The grantee shall make it a condition of each contract entered into
by it with reference to its operations under this chapter and franchise, that the contract
shall be subject to the exercise of this option by the county and that the county shall
have the right to succeed to all privileges and obligations thereof upon the exercise
of such option.
(b) Until such time as the grantee transfers to the county or to a new
grantee possession and title to all assets, real and personal, related to its cable
television system, the grantee shall, as trustee for its successor in interest, continue to
operate the cable television system under the terms and conditions of this chapter and
the franchise and to provide the regular subscriber service and any and all of the
services that may be provided at that time. During such interim period, the grantee
shall not sell any of the system assets nor shall the grantee make any physical,
material, administrative or operational change that would tend to' degrade the quality
of service to the subscribers, decrease income, or materially increase expenses without
the express permission, in writing, of the county or its assignee. The county shall be
permitted to seek legal and equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this section.

of its intent to purchase the grantee's cable television system or the expiration date
of the franchise, whichever is earlier, and the payment of the purchase price. Such
management services shall not be continued without grantee's consent for more than
twelve months. However, if the board determines that the grantee is solely responsible
for any unreasonable delay in transfer of ownership and control, the grantee shall
continue to operate the cable television, without compensation for its services until the
sales agreement is executed and ownership and control passes to the county or its
assignee.
Sec. 7-19. Right of county_ to assign purchase rights.

Dear Mr. Ramsey,
On behalf of my neighbors and myself, I would like to address the Chesterfield Board of
Supervisors on Wednesday, July 27, 1994 at 7:00 p.m~ My subject will pertain to sewer
extension to established neighborhoods, specifically requesting the Board to seriously consider
changing the current policy of making this extension a total homeowners' expense (see attached
letter sent to each Board member dated July 6, 1994).
The main problem is funding and a cost sharing solution should be considered. The County could
raise its share of this money by raising connection fees and user fees, putting aside money in an
escrow account for this specific purpose when new subdivisions are developed, the development
of a general capital improvement fund to match that of the homeowner's cost, or the possibility of
some sort of State financing.
A feasible solution must be decided for a problem that will not disappear and only promises to get
worse. I would appreciate your assistance in making this meeting possible.
Sincerely,
Susan Matthews

Mr. John C. Watkins
P.O. Box 159
Midlothian, Virginia 23113
Dear Mr. Watkins,
This letter is in reaction to your endorsement of a regional participation plan to fix Richmond's
sewerage overflow problem to be financed by Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield sewerage
users. Writing as a Chesterfield County resident representing a group of neighbors, your idea
on paper looks admirable but in reality, Chesterfield has enough sewer problems of its own with-
out taking on another area. To explain this, let me provide you with some background.
Before June 28,1989, the policy for sewer extension to established neighborhoods required
a 70% homeowner participation with the County paying entirely for extension. Funding became
a main budget concern and on the above date the then Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance
to make sewer extension to established neighborhoods a total homeowner expense. The way this
could be accomplished by the homeowner was in one of two ways:(1) the homeowner became
his own general contractor and solicited bids from county approved contractors and engineering
firms. This expedited the entire process but each individual made his own financial arrangements
paying the prevailing interest rates for borrowed money or (2) the homeowners established an
assessment district whereas the County would arrange all the engineering and contracting after
public hearings and approval of four of the five Supervisors on the Board. Financial arrangements
would be financed over a ten year period of time with a minimal fixed interest rate. The drawback
of the assessment district is that it must have 100% total homeowner participation. Therein lies the
problem. 100% total participation is almost impossible to achieve ( if almost all neighbors are in
agreement that they will finance a sewer extension but only on¢ neighbor disagrees, then no one
can get extension!). Neighbors hinge upon neighbors and with the cost of extension at
approximately $10,000 - $15,000 per house (not including connection fees or plumber fees),
much thought goes into agreeing and disagreeing, regardless of what problems neighbors are
having with their individual septic systems.
I live in an affluent established neighborhood (Stonehenge) that has 60% sewer and 40% septic.
Most of these septic systems are 20-25 years old - some homeowners have experienced problems
while others have not. My neighbors and I have attempted to establish an assessment district but
one of our neighbors blocked it. Since he has not experienced any problems, he is gambling
that he won't before he moves in two to five years and therefore, will not agree to pay $10,350
for sewer extension. This is fine but the rest of us do not believe that it is reasonable or practical to
pay his $10,350, so therefore, none of us can get extension. We cannot wait for him to move
because the price increases 10% a year and is already at the upper reaches of feasibility for many
of us. Our only other option is to destroy our front yards by installing new septic systems and
leaching fields (some neighbors have had to do this already) for $5000-$8000 with no guarantee
this will solve any problems. It is a stop-gap method at best. I might also add that as of this letter,
no other neighborhood has gotten as close as we have to establishing an assessment district and
therefore, no precedent has been set in the County in regards to this policy.
With the above as background for what I believe to be a very common problem in Chesterfield
(there are projects in excess of thirty million dollars for those who need sewer extension right now
on the books!), I have a proposal that may benefit both of us. You want regional cooperation with
Chesterfield residents participating and I want a fairer policy for Chesterfield residents to obtain
sewer extension. If help to obtain sewer could be provided for all those in Chesterfield who desire
it, the base for financial help for your proposed regional cooperation plan would be greatly
expanded and possibly become a reality. This could be done in one of two ways: (1) the
introduction and promotion of a bill in the State Legislature to decrease the 100% homeowner
participation requirement to 70%, thereby making it feasible for the majority to obtain sewer
extension through assessment districts. All would have to pay for the extension but not be
required to connect until they desire. With 70% agreeing, this would be for the betterment of the
majority and good for all. (2) if this is not agreeable to you or if the Legislature fails to change the
law, prevail upon the five Supervisors on the Board to change their policy of making extension a
total homeowners expense either back to the policy prior to June 1989 or to a modification of it
requiring the homeowner to pay a portion of the cost (perhaps 50-50). Funding would be provided
by selling bonds and raising connection and user fees. Our user fees is how you suggested we
finance Richmond's problems. User fees should benefit the area in which the resident is located
fa'st, therefore, let's help Chesterfielcl residents-FIRST!
Your help and support to achieve either of these proposals is urgently needed. This issue may not
be your immediate concern, but it is my and my neighbors' priority that Chesterfield problems be
tackled and solved fa'st before support is given for help to the surrounding areas. I am forwarding
this letter to ail of Chesterfield's county delegates in the State Legislature (to consider the 100%
participation rule), the five supervisors for Chesterfield County (to consider changing the existing
extension policy), and to Mr. Bryant, Director of Chesterfield Utilities. The Utility Department has
been most helpful in this matter but their hands are tied by the policy adopted by the Board of
Supervisors and the 100% participation State Statute policy. We need for you and the above
people to understand and recognize Chesterfield's problem and ACT upon it. It is not going to go
away, it will only get worse- let's adopt a fair policy to help all!
I look forward with interest to hearing from you with respect to what action we can expect from
you in regard to these two proposals. If needed, I would be happy to expand upon the above or
supply such additional information as you may require.
Sincerely,
Susan Matthews
P.S. I am also sending a copy of this letter to Mr. George Allen, our Governor. It is my
understanding he has appointed a "Blue Ribbon Strike Force" to look into matters, such as this
one, specifically where the citizen cannot get anything done for the good of all due to
governmentalbureaucracy, politicians who don't want to get involved for fear of not getting re-
elected, or laws that are extreme in practice and punitive to the citizens they are supposed to help.
This sewer extension problem fits all three categories.

Public Hearing to consider an amendment to Section 21.1-18 of the Code of the
County of Chesterfield, relating to Notification and Posting of Property-Hearings.
Count}r Administrator's Comments:
CountyAdministrator:
BoardAction Requested:
Cancel the Public Hearing and refer the attached ordinance amendment to the Planning
Commission which will require the County to notify adjacent counties and municipalities of
zoning changes, comprehensive plans, or variances planned for land located within one-half
mile of a common boundary.
Summary o f Information:
Currently, counties or municipalities are not required to give notice to adjoining counties
or municipalities when comprehensive plans or amendments, zoning changes, or special
exceptions and variances, are being considered for property located along common boundaries.
The General Assembly in 1994 amended state law to require that local governments rezoning
or reclassifying any parcel of land within one-half mile of an adjoining county or municipality
must give written notice to the adjoining local government.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the change in state law and requires the
County to give adjoining counties and municipalities 15 days notice in advance of any hearing
involving a proposed comprehensive plan or amendment, proposed change in zoning, or
variance involving any parcel of land located within one-half mile of the boundary of any
adjacent city or county.
This public hearing was scheduled as a result of the June 8, 1994 work session. The
ordinance amendment should be referred to the Planning Commission for its recommendation
concerning the notification of adjacent counties and municipalities of zoning changes,
comprehensive plans, or variances planned for land located within one-half mile of a common
boundar!t,,,--~

Block Grant (CDBG) Program was developed through a process of
citizen participation that included the distribution of application
forms and informational material to civic associations, business
groups, County schools, County departments, non-profit community
development organizations, and individual citizens. A workshop
open and publicized to the public was held on the evening of April
28 to explain the process for applications and answer any questions
about the CDBG Program.
A CDBG Review Committee comprised of citizen and business
representatives from the JDA and the Ettrick Business
Council/Ettrick on the Move and County staff from Economic
Development, Budget, Social Services, Planning, and Community
Development met to review all projects submitted for the 1994-95
CDBG Program. The Review Committee systematically rated projects
in accordance with the following criteria:
1 Benefit to low and moderate income persons.
2 Effect on slums and blight.
Extent to which project addresses community priorities.
Past performance of the agency.
5 Amount of non-CDBG funds leveraged.
Cost effectiveness.
Project's investment return.
o
Project's use of volunteers or improvement of neighborhood
self-sufficiency.

Subject:PUBLIC HEARI~]G
Consideration for granting a waiver of thc Chesterfield Airport Industrial Park restrictive cov-
enants concerning rear yard setback requirements for a parcel owned by PMB Inc., identified by
tax map number 79-6 (3) 38, and located at 8111 Virginia Pine Court.
County Administrator's Comments:
County Administrator: ~ ,
Board Action Requested:
Staff recommends granting a waiver of the Chesterfield Airport Industrial Park restrictive cove-
nants for PMB Inc., for the purpose of their business expansion.
Summary of Information:
PMB Inc., located in the Airport Industrial Park since 1985, is a Dutch owned manufacturer and
service provider of packaging machinery. Their business has grown substantially necessitating the
expansion of their present facility. In order for them to expand, the most feasible option requires
them to add to the rear of the facility. Due to property line constraints, this will require them to
encroach upon the rear yard set back line imposed by the restrictive covenants. The rear property

Public Hearing to Consider Amending the Zoning Ordinance ~'~lve to
Fees for Certain Variance Requests.
Count~ Administrator's Comments:
CountyAdministrator:
BoardAcfion Requested:
The staff recommends the Board adopt the attached Ordinance amendments.
The Planning Commission recommendation will be presented after their
public hearing on July 19, 1994.
Summary oflnformation:
This ordinance amendment would lower the application fee for a setback
variance county-wide in all zoning districts, from $570 to $230.
On May 25, 1994, the Board of Supervisors referred the attached Zoning
Ordinance amendments to the Planning Co~aission for their public hearing
and recommendation.
Matoaca District Supervisor Whaley M. Colbert has received complaints
from constituents concerning the front setback for older lots with
Agricultural zoning and asks the Board of Supervisors to refer a Zoning
Ordinance amendment to the Planning Commission for public hearing and
recommendation.
A limited number of individuals have been unable to meet the setbacks
and have not filed an application for a variance due to the filing fee.
Generally, requests for setback variances are less complex and easier to
analyze than the typical variance request and therefore, are less
expensive to process.

Summary of Information: (Continued)
In addition to assisting the individuals who have contacted Mr. Colbert,
this amendment will assist individuals who wish to expand older homes or
businesses. This amendment will promote investment in older areas which
helps to maintain property values and neighborhood vitality.
Had the attached Ordinance amendment been in effect in FY 93, the
Planning Department would have received $7820 less revenue for the year.

BUDGET & MANAGEMENT COMMENTS:
With the adoption of this Ordinance amendment, the Planning
Department would receive approximately $8,800 less in revenue for
FY95. While revenue would be reduced, the cost of processing
variances will remain constant.
At present, the Planning Department estimates that the
average case takes about 4 days to process at a cost of $1,500-
$2,000. Compared to a proposed fee of $230, this means that
general tax revenue provides an average subsidy of $1,270-$1,770
per application. The department anticipates about 60 cases for
FY95.

16.G.
Subject:
Public hearing to consider an amendment to the Code of Chesterfield County relating
to exemptions from erosion and sediment control regulations.
County Administrator's Comments:
CountyAdministrator:
BoardAction, Requested:
Adopt the attached ordinance which will allow the County to regulate the harvesting of
forest crops pursuant to erosion and sediment control regulations.
Summary of Information:
Currently, State and County law does not define the harvesting of forest crops as a land
disturbing activity subject to erosion and sediment control regulations. The 1994 General
Assembly revised the definition in the state code so that counties may now regulate the
harvesting of forest crops unless the area harvested is reforested, or converted to bona fide
agricultural or improved pasture in accordance to state law. The proposed amendment to the
County Code adopts the new state definition and restrictions on forest crop harvesting. The
change in the State Code was part of the County's 1994 Legislative Program and corrects a
problem arising from the commercial development adjacent to Harbour Point subdivision.
This public hearing was scheduled as a result of the June 8, 1994 work session.
