6/23/99
8.A. ESTABLISI{MENT OF 2000-2003 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SALARIES
Mr. Ramsey stated that each Board of Supervisors is responsible
for setting the compensation for the future Board and that,
according to the Code of Virginia, it must be accomplished by
June 30 of the year prior to the term of the new Board. He
further stated that the Board has been provided with
information relative to comparable salaries of Boards in other
jurisdictions as well as benchmark jurisdictions and that the
market average of the salaries in other jurisdictions was
determined to be slightly over $32,000 per year. He noted that
the Board's current salary is $24,270.
Mr. Warren stated that the current practice that the Board is
following and has been following for the past eight years has
worked successfully for this Board as well as previous Boards
and that he would support continuation of the current practice.
Mr. Warren then made a motion for the Board to continue the
current practice whereby Board members would receive salary
increases commensurate with the increases given to employees on
an annual basis, not to exceed $29,510 by the year 2003.
There was brief discussion relative to the maximum amount of
compensation that the Board members could receive each year for
the next four years.
Mr. McHale seconded the motion made by Mr. Warren.
Mr. Micas questioned what action the Board wished to take
relative to supplements for the Chairman and Vice Chairman.
Mr. Daniel stated that there has not been an increase in some
time for the stipend given to Chairman and Vice Chairman.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels the stipends should remain the
same. He further stated that he would make a substitute motion
to keep the stipends as they currently are.
Mr. Daniel stated that, since the original motion was only
relating to salaries, he is calling Mr. Barber's substitute
motion relating to stipends for Chairman and Vice-Chairman out
of order and will still stand on the original motion made by
Mr. Warren and seconded by Mr. McHale.
There was brief discussion relative to voting on salaries and
stipends separately.
Mr. Barber stated that prior to the current Board's election
nearly nine years ago, the previous Board established a policy
whereby Board members were treated no differently than other
County employees and, therefore, their salary increases should
be commensurate with the increases given to County employees.
He further stated that he supports Mr. Warren's motion to
continue the current policy regarding salary increases for
Board members.
99-531
6/23/99
Mr. Daniel stated that he plans on supporting Mr. Warren's
motion due to the Knot to exceed" clause in which each year's
salary would not exceed the following amounts: 2000, $24,278~
2001, $25,492; 2002, $28,105; and 2003, $29,510, which
represent a maximum five percent per year increase. He further
stated that he feels the next elected Board should organize a
citizens' committee consisting of business people and citizens
of high integrity to study the pay structure for its public
officials, and then conduct a salary survey similar to the one
that was conducted for County employees. He stated that there
are many factors which affect the salary of elected officials
and suggested that future Boards base their salary increases on
total quality management principles and that they study closely
what the citizens are receiving for their expenditures.
Mr. McHale stated that the Board has decided that the County
cannot be a pay leader in many areas, but that people should be
fairly compensated and that he feels the current process for
increasing the compensation for Board members supports this
overall goal. He suggested that, after the new Board begins
its term in January, 2000, Mr. Ramsey bring before them Mr.
Daniel's suggestion to get citizen input relative to the salary
for Board members.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels salaries for Board members have
been studied and that the Board acknowledges that the County is
not a pay leader in the region or with benchmark jurisdictions.
Mr. Daniel stated that, in 1980, the General Assembly delegates
recognized that the salaries paid to elected officials were far
below acceptable and made an adjustment with State law. He
further stated that this approach remains an option. He stated
that he feels the compensation for Board members should be
reasonable based on comparative data.
Mr. Daniel then called for a vote on the motion made by Mr.
Warren, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the Board to continue the
current practice whereby Board members would receive salary
adjustments commensurate with the adjustments given to
employees on an annual basis, not to exceed $25,492 by July 1,
2000; $26,766 by July 1, 2001; $28,105 by July 1, 2002; and
$29,510 by July 1, 2003.
Ayes: Daniel, Warren, Barber, and McHale.
Nays: Humphrey.
Mr. Barber made a motion for the supplements of Chairman and
Vice Chairman to remain unchanged.
Mrs. Humphrey seconded the motion made by Mr. Barber.
There was brief discussion relative to the motion including
other commissions that Board members sit on.
Mr. Barber clarified his motion that the supplements of
Chairman and Vice Chairman, as well as the annual compensation
for other boards and commissions on which Board members serve,
remain unchanged.
6/23/99
99-532
Mr. Micas clarified that, when setting compensation for Board
members for their service on various commissions, the Board is
also setting the compensation for all members of the
commissions.
There was brief discussion relative to the Board's ability to
increase compensation for Planning Commission members at any
time.
Mr. Micas stated that only the Board's compensation and the
supplements for Chairman and Vice Chairman for the 2000-2003
Board of Supervisors needs to be determined by July 1, 1999 and
that other compensation can be determined at a later date.
After brief discussion, Mr. Daniel called for a vote on the
motion made by Mr. Barber, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey, that the
supplements of Chairman and Vice Chairman -- $3,150 and $1,575,
respectively, as well as the annual compensation for other
boards and commissions on which Board members serve, remain
unchanged for the entire next term.
Ayes: Daniel, Warren, Barber, Humphrey, and McHale.
Nays: None.
9. HEARINGS OF CITIZENS ON UNSCHEDULED MATTERS OR CLAIMS
O CONSIDERATION OF CLAIMS FROM EIGHT POLICE OFFICERS FOR
BACK PAY AND BENEFITS
Mr. Micas stated that eight County police officers have filed
claims regarding back pay and benefits. He further stated
that, prior to 1994, the County had a practice in which
officers received a percentage increase when assigned to a
detective or investigator position, and when the assignment
ended or an officer was promoted from the position, the salary
was reduced by the same percentage. He stated that, due to
this practice, the officers sometimes would be receiving less
compensation upon leaving the investigative or detective
position than if they had stayed during that same period of
time as a patrol officer. He further stated that, when the
practice was changed in 1994, retroactive pay adjustments were
made back to 1992, consistent with the County's approach to
dealing with salary issues no longer than a two year period
retroactively. He stated that the claims that the Board are
considering arise out of that investigator/detective pay
practice and total approximately $300,000. He further stated
that staff recommends denial due to the issue already have been
litigated before the Circuit Court; the previous pay practice
being legally appropriate; and the officers willingly accepting
the assignments and, therefore, being legally prohibited from
making complaints. He stated that the Statute of Limitations
precludes appeals for the years in question. He further stated
that the claims process is a precondition to filing a claim in
the courts and, should the claims be denied, the officers can
then proceed with continuing their lawsuit in Circuit Court.
6/23/99
99-533
He noted that there are seventeen other current police officers
and fifty-one retired or deceased police officers who were
affected by this pay practice and, if these claims are
approved, those officers would likely file claims and be
eligible for payment as well.
Mr. Thomas Stiles, representing the eight police officers,
stated that the claims stem from discrepancies in the
calculation of pay due to promotions or transfers. He
presented his personal pay situation and stated that, as an
investigator, his salary was $29,834 and that, after being
promoted, his salary was reduced to $29,660. He further stated
that the total of his claim as of April 12, 1999 is $21,000.
He stated that errors in calculations of promotions and
transfers have considerably affected the police officers' pay,
merit increases, yearly bonuses, overtime rates, promotional
increases and retirement. He stated that each of the affected
police officers have made attempts to address the errors with
both present and past administrations and Human Resource
Management. He further stated that the other seven police
officers were present at the meeting and available to present
their individual claims, if desired by the Board, and requested
that the Board approve the claims of the eight police officers.
Mr. Daniel recognized the other seven police officers present
at the meeting.

CODE OF VIRGINIA, 1950, AS AMENDED, TO DISCUSS

Board and in accordance with the provisions of the Virginia
Freedom of Information Act; and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Freedom of Information Act effective
July 1, 1989 provides for certification that such Executive
Session was conducted in conformity with law.
99-534
6/23/99
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Board of Supervisors
does hereby certify that to the best of each member's
knowledge, i) only public business matters lawfully exempted
from open meeting requirements under the Freedom of Information
Act were discussed in the Executive Session to which this
certification applies, and
ii) only such public business matters as were identified

Nays: Barber and Humphrey.
6. WORK SESSIONS
6.B. COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD ISSUES
Mr. Hammer introduced Dr. Lowe to present an update on funding
from the General Assembly for the Community Services Board.
Dr. Lowe stated that the General Assembly increased the funding
of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse
services by $80 million beginning in July, 1999, half of which
will be utilized for facility enhancements and the other half
for services in the community. He further stated that the
additional funding for facility enhancements will be used for
increased staffing; physical plant improvement; and
transferring residents to the community. He reviewed the
community services for which the funding is to be utilized and
stated that they do not match the County's highest priorities
of additional case management resources and additional
psychiatry time. He reviewed the funding that the County will
receive for substance abuse; adult mental health; child mental
health; and cost of living increase, totaling $484,638. He
then reviewed funding for persons with mental retardation and
stated that approximately 256 of the 387 persons on the
County's waiting list may be included in the funding. He
stated that the consumers and their families will have a choice
of providers and that he anticipates between 50 and 80 percent
will choose Chesterfield Community Services Board (CSB) as
their provider. He presented an overview of the historical
6/23/99
99-535
funding of the CSB, including a change from State and local
funding to additional fees and stated that, currently,
approximately fifty percent of the funding for CSB is generated
by fees and approximately thirty percent is contributed by the
County. He stated that the additional funding approved by the
General Assembly will increase the amount of funding generated
by fees to approximately sixty percent and will decrease the
percentage contributed by the County to less than twenty-five
percent. He further stated that Medicaid is currently
reviewing its reimbursement rates which have not changed since
1991. He presented an overview of the persons who will be
served with new Medicaid mental retardation waiver funding and
the current locations of group homes operated by the CSB by
magisterial district.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the County has always had a
commitment to mental health, mental retardation and substance
abuse services. She further stated she feels that the
orphanage located in the Matoaca District leads to a greater
number of children eligible for services.
Dr. Lowe stated that, statewide, 4,568 persons will be served
with the new or expanded services. He further stated that
private providers select the locations for their group homes
and may allow non-Chesterfield residents in their homes located
within the County.
There was brief discussion relative to the effect of the new
funding on the currently adopted budget and budget plan.
Dr. Lowe stated that, without increasing County funds, more
consumers are being served. He further stated that most of the
State funds are being restricted to certain categories and that
the County may be required to serve certain people who are
considered a priority.
There was brief discussion relative to CSB funding by the State
and County.
When asked, Dr. Lowe stated that, of the $16 million current
budget, the County provides approximately $4 million.
Mr. Ramsey commended Dr. Lowe and the CSB staff for the
documentation of the need for services which led to the CSB
obtaining additional funding.
Dr. Lowe introduced Dr. Carolyn Cockrell, Chairman of the Task
Force to Determine the Feasibility of an Alternative Structure
for the Chesterfield Community Services Board.
Dr. Cockrell stated that legislation enacted by the 1998
General Assembly required each locality to designate the
structure of its Community Service Board as one of four types
-- Policy Advisory CSB; Administrative Policy CSB; Operating
CSB; or Behavioral Health Authority. She further stated that
on August 26, 1998, the Board designated the Chesterfield CSB
an Administrative Policy Board due to it most closely
6/23/99
99-536
resembling the present system of operations as a policy making
body within local government. She stated that the Task Force
established by the Board was charged with examining all CSB
designations; recommending a future structure; and producing a
report documenting findings by June 30, 1999.
Each Board member was presented with a copy of the final report
of the Task Force.
Mr. McHale excused himself from the meeting.
Dr. Cockrell expressed appreciation to the members of the Task
Force for their service. She briefly reviewed each of the four
possible structures considered by the Task Force and stated
that Dr. Lowe would present the remainder of the report of the
Task Force.
Dr. Lowe reviewed the studies used by the Task Force in making
their determinations. He stated that the Task Force concluded
that only the Administrative Policy CSB and the Behavioral
Health Authority(BHA) would be considered; there is no
advantage to a different structure at this time; circumstances
are likely to change; and that the County needs to be prepared
to implement a BHA in the future. He reviewed recommendations
of the Task Force including the Chesterfield CSB remaining an
Administrative Policy CSB at this time; indicators should be
developed to identify the imminent need for conversion of the
Chesterfield CSB to a BHA; the Chesterfield CSB ensuring that
rapid conversion to a BHA is possible when and if that becomes
necessary by developing a plan for conversion in collaboration
with County Administration; County Administration exploring
methods to enhance the CSB's ability to operate successfully in
an increasingly competitive environment; and the CSB developing
business plans for both its continuation as an Administrative
Policy CSB and its operation as a BHA.
Mr. Daniel expressed appreciation for the efforts of the Task
Force.
Dr. Lowe expressed appreciation for the Board's support.
Mrs. Humphrey requested that the Board thoroughly review the
findings of the Task Force and stated that she feels a
Behavioral Health Authority may prove to be a better method for
providing services for residents.
Mr. Barber commended Dr. Cockrell for her efforts as
Chairperson of the Task Force. He stated that he feels private
providers will take over the more profitable services and that

amendment to the Virginia Retirement System which reduced the
retirement requirement from age fifty-five with thirty years of
experience to age fifty with thirty years of experience. He
further stated that localities would automatically be adjusted
to that level unless the locality opted out. He stated that
staff recommends that the County not opt out.
Mrs. Humphrey requested that Ms. Curtin keep her updated on the
efforts of the Keating Commission to encourage the use of
agriculture and forestry districts.

Communities either failed or were not introduced.
There was brief discussion relative to growth management issues
being prohibited by the General Assembly.
Mr. Daniel stated that a group entitled, "The Urban Crescent"

localities to tap into growth in the economy. He requested

In Midlothian Magisterial District, SENIOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
LLC requested amendment to a Conditional Use Planned
Development (Case 88SN0202) and amendment of zoning district
map to allow multi-family residential uses, plus exceptions to
6/23/99
99-583
buffer, number of parking spaces and maximum building height
requirements. The density of such amendment will be controlled
by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive
Plan suggests the property is appropriate for office use. This
request lies in a Corporate Office (0-2) District on 7.9 acres
fronting approximately 500 feet on the northeast line of
Robious Road, also fronting approximately 400 feet on the
northwest line of West Huguenot Road and located in the
northwest quadrant of the intersection of these roads. Tax ID
740-715-3937 (Sheet 2).
Mr. James Rountree, a resident of Robious Road, expressed
concerns relative to the exceptions for buffer, parking space
and building heights.
There being no one else to address this issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Ms. Rogers stated that the proposed development is for multi-
family residential uses and limited to the elderly. She
further stated that there would be a requirement that the
facility be architecturally compatible with the adjacent multi-
family project. She stated that, currently, office buildings
can be constructed to a height of three stories and other users
are limited to only one story and that increasing the height
for the multi-family facility would be consistent with the
office building height that is currently permitted on the
property. She further stated that, since the project is
limited to the elderly, staff estimates that the typical number
of parking spaces required for multi-family is not necessary.
Mr. Barber made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the Board
to approve Case 99SN0259 subject to conditions and acceptance
of proffered conditions.
There was brief discussion relative to the proximity of the
proposed development in relation to Mr. Rountree's property.

time of payment, the $1,250.00 will be allocated pro-rata
among the facility costs as calculated annually by the
County Budget Department as follows: $686 for parks, $299
for library facilities and $265 for fire stations.

the proposed development. He further expressed concerns
relative to unsecured waste blowing from waste collection
trucks into the yards of Robious Road residents.
Mr. Daniel suggested that Mr. Rountree speak with Ms. Rogers in
an effort to address his concerns.
There being no one else to address this issue, the public

In Bermuda Magisterial District, TASCON GROUP, INC. requested
rezoning and amendment of zoning district map from Residential
(R-7) to Residential Multi-Family (R-MF) with Conditional Use
Planned Development to permit an adult day care facility and
bulk exceptions. The applicant has agreed to limit development
to a maximum of sixty-eight (68) units, yielding a density of
approximately 5.9 units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan
suggests the property is appropriate for mixed use:
neighborhood office and residential (1 to 2.5 units per acre}
and for residential use of 1.01 to 2.5 units per acre. This
request lies on 11.6 acres fronting approximately 1,000 feet on
the south line of West Hundred Road, also fronting
approximately 400 feet on the west line of Mason Avenue and
located in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of these
roads. Tax ID 795-655-0436, 2021, 794-655-6729 and 6354 (Sheet
26) .
Ms. Rogers presented a summary of Case 99SN0261 and stated that
staff recommends approval subject to the applicant fully
addressing the impact on capital facilities consistent with the
Board's policy. She further stated that, although the
applicant has offered a cash proffer in the amount of $3916 for
each dwelling unit in excess of the six units currently
permitted on the property, the proffer fails to fully address
the potential impact on schools. She stated that the Planning
Commission, on a vote of three affirmatives and two
abstentions, recommended approval subject to conditions and
acceptance of the proffered conditions and indicated that,
considering the unique circumstances, the affirmative
Commissioners felt that the cash proffer being offered for
schools was adequate. She further stated that the abstaining
Commissioners indicated that theY felt additional time was
needed to study the proposal.
Mr. John Easter, representing the applicant, stated that the
Planning Commission's recommendation is acceptable. He
reviewed the history of the applicant's projects in the State
and stated that less than one percent of the 104 units sold has
had a school-age child. He further stated that he feels
offering 25% of the normal school proffer as well as full
proffer for all of the other elements is a good-faith offer by
the applicant.
There was no opposition present.

16. PUBLIC HEARINGS
16 .A.
TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT RELATING TO BUSINESS
LICENSE FEES
Mr. Ramsey stated that the 1999-2000 budget was adopted with
two changes affecting the BPOL tax -- reduction of the fee on
businesses that have $100,000 or less gross receipts to a $50
maximum from a $100 maximum and reduction of $570,000 in
business license taxes. He further stated that staff
recommended Option One to reduce rates in four business license
categories by approximately ten percent which would produce the
$570,000 revenue reduction and stated that Mr. McHale
recommended Option Two that would reduce the business license
tax through an exemption of $40,000 over the $100,000 of gross
receipts. He stated that the basic difference in the two
options is that Option One would affect the rates and actually
have a higher impact on businesses that do larger gross
receipts and the exemption method would give a fixed exemption
for all businesses and, therefore, would affect more
businesses. He further stated that a public hearing was held on
May 25, 1999 and continued to this date and time in an effort
to receive input from business organizations as to which option
they felt was best.
Mr. Bill Baxter, President of the Retail Merchants Association
of Greater Richmond, stated that the Association supports
Option Two. He further stated that the Association hopes that
this action of the Board be just a beginning to looking at an
overall tax structure for the County's business community.
Ms. Alice Clark, Chairman of the Chesterfield Business Council
6/23/99
99-592
(CBC), expressed appreciation to the Board for making a
reduction in the business license tax possible. She stated
that the CBC supports the $40,000 exemption because it will
affect a greater number of businesses and requested that the
Board continue to work with the business community in an effort
to make the County a competitive place to conduct business.
Mr. Paul Scott, Vice President of the Central Chesterfield
Business Association (CCBA), stated that he attended the last
public hearing but did not speak due to the business community
having an unclear consensus as to their choice of the option
for tax reduction. He stated that, after polling the CCBA's
membership, 45% favor the rate reduction and 55% favor the
exemption option; therefore, the CCBA supports the exemption
option. He further stated that the CCBA would like to see a
cap on BPOL revenue that would benefit everyone; a move towards
future reduction and eventual elimination of the tax; and the
formation of a study group consisting of business people.
Ms. Julie Walker, a business owner in the Matoaca District,
stated that she feels the rate reduction option is not fair to
all business owners and that it would deter new businesses.
She further stated that she feels the $40,000 exemption option
would best serve the business community.
Ms. Marlene Boswell, representing The Personal Secretary,
Incorporated, stated that she feels BPOL is the most unfair tax
for existing and incoming businesses because it hinders
economic business growth. She expressed concerns relative to
the amount of taxes paid by businesses and requested that the
Board place a cap on the BPOL tax in an effort to attract more
businesses for economic growth. She stated that she feels a
cap on the BPOL tax would represent a good faith showing by the
Board to all businesses and that she supports Option Two.
There being no one else to speak to this issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Daniel stated that only people can effect change and
encouraged the public to speak in the future on relevant issues
in an effort to effect change. He further stated that he feels
discussion on taxes needs to be opened to include the real
estate tax.
Mr. Daniel then made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the
Board to approve Option Two for capping the BPOL tax for
FY2000.
Mr. Barber stated that he and Mr. McHale attended a meeting
with several members of the business community and County staff
on June 22, 1999 and that he looks forward to participating in
future dialogues relative to the tax structure in its entirety.
Mr. Warren stated that he attended a Chesterfield Business
Council meeting in the spring of 1999 whereby he pledged that
the Board would cap BPOL. He further stated that he is pleased
that the Retail Merchants Association presented an incentive
6123/99
99-593
for the Board to meet with the business community in an effort
to adopt an option that would be beneficial to the majority of
businesses.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she supports Option Two for reduction
of the BPOL tax. She further stated that she feels the BPOL
tax is a horrid example of tax structure and that it needs to
be reduced profoundly as economic growth occurs. She stated
that taxes paid by small business owners represent a profound
contribution to the County.
Mr. McHale stated that he feels the County's tax policy needs
to be looked at as a community and should encourage the
formation and sustainment of small business. He suggested
that, between now and the beginning of the term of next Board,
a group of citizens and corporate constituents meet to discuss
the County's tax policy in an effort to make suggestions for
