other areas of the budget which resulted in a significant
reduction in overtime and part-time spending for FY2019. She

of recruitment efforts to ensure the department did not
compromise the quality of new hires, experience. She noted

creating a better workflow to address the anticipated impact
on upfront operations, address caseloads and ensure processes
were flexible enough to adapt to unexpected changes.
Mr. Walton stated the department developed an implementation
plan that consisted of a new service delivery model, policy
and systems training, caseload reduction strategy and
community education/stakeholder engagement.. He then
highlighted examples for effectiveness and outcomes which
include starting the clean-up of caseloads to reduce
delinquency, increase applications and renewal timely
processing; restructuring the units in the department to be
program focuses; and realign caseloads to create equity and
reduce the caseload size as new employees are hired. He then
reviewed Medicaid expansion workload impact. He stated
because of more applications being approved it will increase
the number of cases being added to workload for ongoing case
maintenance and annual recertifications of benefits through
the renewal process. Regarding collaborative efforts, he
stated the department has started building the framework and
re-establishing a presence in the community for more
visibility and access.
Regarding employment services, Ms. Briggs stated as the
department has expanded services to include customers
receiving other benefits and any citizens desiring -employment
service, and staff has been more coordinated in ensuring

REQUESTS
Mr. Rob Thompson, Chairman of the Chesterfield County School
Board, inquired about questions asked by Board of Supervisors
pertaining to the categorical appropriation of specific
school budget items.
19-433
07/24/19
Ms. Jaeckle explained the nature of questions asked by Board
members, specifically bus replacement, salaries for bus
drivers and school start times.
Mr. Thompson stated $500,000 was allocated to balance all bus
driver salaries. He further stated 23 additional buses were
identified as a critical need for school start times. He
stated 10 additional buses were used for new routes, 7 buses
for new substitutes.and the remaining 6 as replacement buses.
He stated 209 buses have been purchased and noted 226 buses
will complete the FY2015 purchase plan. He stated $1.7
million was identified for bus purchases, which will cover
the 17 buses and $1.4 million in reserves was planned for
additional buses. He further stated $1 million was spent by
the school division on private transportation last year. He
stated there was an overreliance of private transportation
and the division was not making use of current provisions. He
noted plans to reduce the school division's use of private
transportation in the future.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's questions, Mr. Thompson stated
overtime pay for bus drivers was a portion of the budget
overage. He noted overtime includes bus maintenance
appointments and driver training courses.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Thompson stated
the School Board is presented with a budget versus actuals on
a monthly basis. He further stated some draconian internal
controls were initiated to adjust budget overages before the
final budget review.
Mr. Elswick stated if the school buses had been purchased
using the old contract versus the new contract, five
additional buses could have been obtained. He requested
`having school staff work more efficiently with county staff
going forward.
In response to Mr. Elswick's remarks, Mr. Thompson stated the
School Board had truly expected to purchase the $1.7 million
assigned for replacement buses on they -old contract. He
further stated after consultation with the finance
department, the School Board decided to push the purchase to
June to see how the overages would be covered.
Mr. Elswick reiterated his concerns.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question, Mr. Thompson stated
escalation may have resulted in an increase in contract
negotiations.
Discussion ensued relative to Board of Supervisors procedures
related to pulling an item from the Consent Agenda for public
comment.
In response to Ms. Haley's question regarding additional
language embedded in the Board action, Ms. Meghan Coates
stated there have been numerous meetings between school and
county finance staff discussing various needs within the
school division. She further stated one of those requests was
the need for improvements to the auditorium relating to
audio-visual needs at Thomas Dale High School, in. the amount
of $300,000. She stated any funding that materializes above
what is detailed and described in reserve requests should be
reserved in the general fund for future school revenue
stabilization needs.
19-434
07/24/19
In response to Mr. Thompson's concerns, Ms. Coates stated
given the timing in the budget process, to be able to grant
funding for a specific project, should it be approved, the
route chosen was appropriate according to school and staff.
Discussion ensued relative to conversations between school
and county staff relating to the request for improvements at
Thomas Dale High School.
Mr. Holland made a motion, seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, for the
Board to approve the FY2019 school division year-end
adjustments.
Mr. Winslow clarified the actions as it pertains to the
School Board.
Ms. Haley called for a vote on Mr. Holland's motion, seconded
by Ms. Jaeckle, for the Board to approve the following FY2019
school division year-end adjustments:
a. Authorized the County Administrator to assign and re -
appropriate the reserve requests as listed in Table A.
b. Authorized the County Administrator to assign and re -
appropriate up to $1.4 million for school bus
replacements; authorized the County Administrator to
assign and re -appropriate up to $300,000 for
improvements at Thomas Dale High School; and, anything
that should materialize above that amount to a school
revenue stabilization reserve to be held in the general
fund.

county. He noted the revised ordinance is comparable to
neighboring localities in the region.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question, Mr. Cash stated the

to change every 10 seconds. He noted other- localities have
different standards relative to the change in message signs.

study conducted by Virginia Tech concludes that digital
advertising is -safety -neutral, with no significant increase
in safety hazard or accidents than other static message
boards. He further stated staff began working on the
revisions to the ordinance in 2016 prior to presenting it to
the Planning Commission. He noted the Planning Commission
directed staff to modify the existing Electronic Message
Center Sign policy.
Ms. Haley stated during her term as supervisor she has been
very vocal on the issue and modifying the existing policy.
She recognized the importance of revitalization in areas of
the county and the value signage brings to businesses.

currently an applicant would apply for a conditional use
through the Planning Department, Planning Commission and

.certain areas of the county. He further stated the size of
the sign and appearance are also regulated under the current
policy.

affected existing development and future development patterns
in the area and drafted appropriate designated locations.

project grew over time working with the Board of Supervisors

messages, and recruitment advertisement. Colonial Katz stated

of the crash was a billboard.

based commerce. He stated the majority of the occupations in
Chesterfield County come from small business owners. He noted
his concerns relative to the public safety aspect of message
boards.
Ms. Jaeckle stressed the importance of message signs
attracting customers to shop local small businesses and
remain competitive with e -based commerce. She stated all 12
work sessions were advertised and televised and all public
input is incorporated into determinations.

their tremendous efforts and stated the detailed l ordinance
strikes a balance and is narrowly tailored. He stated
controlling content of billboards would become difficult due
to` federal freedom of speech fortifications. He also

of small businesses, churches and other organizations. He
stated he is not aware of another jurisdiction that was able
to negotiate a 10 -second interval for electronic message
signs in Virginia.
