District Improvement Operating and Capital Funds
Monthly Report
Report Date: March 2025
The County annually budgets District Improvement Operating and Capital Funds for each of the five
magisterial districts that are used to improve the quality of life in each district. Two funding allocations
are established per district:
• $33,500 per district in the General Fund to provide funding for operational support (e.g.,
public events or programs, purchase of county-owned equipment, public school
programs, or other legally allowable expenses
• $500,000 per district in the County’s Capital Improvement Fund to provide funding for
long-term or large-scale expenditures (e.g., pedestrian improvements, improvements to
school amenities and facilities, park improvements)
If funds remain unspent at the end of each fiscal year, operational funds are automatically reserved to
be utilized in a future year, with capital funds automatically carrying over into the next fiscal year.
This report shows this month’s use of such funds as well as the current funding available for each district.
Requests to use funds for the current month are detailed below and listed as a proposed use on the
summary chart for that district. Upon Board of Supervisors acceptance of this report each month, staff
will execute the proposed requests.
Acceptance of this report by the Board constitutes Board approval of this request.

Subject:
Approve a Lease Amendment and Extension for the Employee Medical Center
Board Action Requested:
Authorize the County Administrator to execute a lease amendment and extension for continued use of office
space for Chesterfield County's Employee Medical Center.
Summary of Information:
Since 2006, Chesterfield County has been leasing space at 6800 Lucy Corr Boulevard to operate an Employee
Medical Center, catering to the healthcare needs of Chesterfield County and Chesterfield County Public School
employees, with a focus on occupational health and wellness. The leased space currently includes 3,415 square
feet of office space and nine reserved parking spaces. The County plans to relocate the Employee Medical
Center to a County-owned facility, which will eliminate the need for this lease. However, the intended
relocation site, a consolidated building with IST, will not be available until spring 2027. Therefore, a one-year
lease extension is required, followed by a month-to-month agreement until the new facility is ready. The
current lease extension has a monthly rate of $5,497.08 and is set to expire on June 30, 2025. Under the
proposed amendment, the monthly rate will increase by 3%, rising to $5,661.99 for the first year starting July 1,
2025. Another 3% increase will take effect on July 1, 2026, bringing the rate to $5,831.85 during the month-to-
month period until the Employee Medical Center moves to the new facility. Lucy Corr leadership has agreed to
these terms, and General Services has reviewed and approved the request according to policy guidelines,
affirming that the extended lease and continued use of the current space will benefit the Employee Medical
Center. This is one of several ongoing consolidation projects aimed at transitioning departments currently
housed in leased space into County-owned facilities (e.g., Child Advocacy Center into the Credit Union
building and Voter Registrar into Schools Headquarters building).

Set Public Hearing for April 23, 2025, to Consider the Exercise of Eminent Domain for the Western Area
Capital Improvement Projects Right-of-Way and Easement Acquisition
Board Action Requested:
The Board is requested to set April 23, 2025, as the date to hold a public hearing to consider the exercise of
eminent domain for the acquisition of right-of-way and easements for the Western Area Capital Improvement
Projects.
Summary of Information:
The Western Area Capital Improvement Projects include a suite of infrastructure improvements needed to
support the new county school campus located generally west of Otterdale Road and between Westerleigh
Parkway and Duval Road. Chesterfield County must expedite construction of these improvements to meet the
scheduled openings of the Western Area elementary [August 2026], middle [August 2025], and high [August
2027] schools.
The County's right-of-way acquisition consultant has been unable to acquire right-of-way and easements from
several parcels required for the following projects and recommends the County exercise eminent domain so that
construction can remain on schedule.
Otterdale Road at Duval Road Roundabout:
This project consists of constructing a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of Otterdale Road and
Duval Road.
Duval Road and North-South Collector Road Improvements:
These projects include construction of a new roadway alignment (North-South Collector), connecting Duval
Road to Westerleigh Parkway. The North-South Collector will include a bridge over Horsepen Creek and a
single-lane roundabout at Duval Road. The project also includes widening Duval Road between the North-
South Collector and Otterdale Road, with improvements to the vertical alignment, roadway shoulders and
ditches, and drainage facilities. A sixteen-inch water line is included along the North-South Collector and
widened section of Duval Road.
If the county proceeds with eminent domain, a certificate of take will be filed with the courts, which will allow
the County to immediately enter and use the right-of-way and easements, so the project can proceed without
delay. The County will then be obligated to purchase the right-of-way and easements. Sufficient funds are
available in the budget to pay the anticipated condemnation costs.

To Consider an Ordinance to Amend County Code Sections 18-5 (Defacing or Obstructing Utility Property)
and 18-27 (Utility Charges) and to Enact New County Code Sections 18-12 (Maintaining Unobstructed Access
to Water Meters) and 18-36 (Meter Repair Fee)
Board Action Requested:
The Board is requested to hold a public hearing to consider the attached ordinance amending County Code
Sections 18-5 (Defacing or Obstructing Utility Property) and 18-27 (Utility Charges) and enacting new County
Code Sections 18-12 (Maintaining Unobstructed Access to Water Meters) and 18-36 (Meter Repair Fee), and to
adopt the ordinance after the public hearing.
Summary of Information:
The Utilities Department proposes to amend Sections 18-5 and 18-27 of the County Code and to enact new
Sections 18-12 and 18-36 to enhance the protection of water meters from tampering and obstruction. The
Utilities Department recently installed automated water meters throughout the County, and it is experiencing a
growing number of these automated water meters being tampered with by customers. The Utilities Department
has also experienced a growing number of meters being obstructed or impeded, making it difficult for
Department personnel to access the meters. The Utilities Department proposes to amend the County Code to
add provisions clarifying the impermissible types of obstruction or impediment to meters, affirmatively
requiring customers to remove obstructions from meters, and imposing a meter repair fee for water meters that
are damaged by causes other than ordinary wear and tear. Staff recommends that the Board adopt the proposed
ordinance after the public hearing.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
AGENDA
Meeting Date: March 12, 2025 Item Number: 15.B.
Subject:
To Consider an Ordinance to Amend County Code § 7-3 (Precinct Boundaries and Polling Places) to Relocate
Polling Places for Falling Creek Voting Precinct (205), Falling Creek East Voting Precinct (220), LaPrade
Voting Precinct (405), Reams Voting Precinct (408), Beaufont Voting Precinct (513), and Davis Voting
Precinct (515)
Board Action Requested:
The Board is requested to hold a public hearing to consider the attached ordinance amending County Code § 7-
3 (Precinct Boundaries and Polling Places) to relocate polling places for Falling Creek Voting Precinct (205),
Falling Creek East Voting Precinct (220), LaPrade Voting Precinct (405), Reams Voting Precinct (408),
Beaufont Voting Precinct (513), and Davis Voting Precinct (515), and to adopt the ordinance after the public
hearing.
Summary of Information:
The General Registrar proposes to relocate the polling places for six voting precincts in the County. Some of
the changes are required because the existing polling place locations are unable or unwilling to continue serving
as a polling place, others are intended to enhance accessibility for voters, and others are necessary to address
construction at the existing polling place locations. The proposed polling place changes, and the specific
reasons for each of the changes, are the following:
1. Relocate the polling place for the Falling Creek Voting Precinct (205) from its current location at the
former Falling Creek Middle School at 4724 Hopkins Road to the newly built Falling Creek Middle
School at 4780 Hopkins Road. This relocation is required because a new building was constructed for
Falling Creek Middle School, and the polling place is moving to the new building.
2. Relocate the polling place for the Falling Creek East Voting Precinct (220) from its current location at
the former Falling Creek Middle School at 4724 Hopkins Road to the newly built Falling Creek Middle
School at 4780 Hopkins Road. This relocation is required because a new building was constructed for
Falling Creek Middle School, and the polling place is moving to the new building.
3. Relocate the polling place for the LaPrade Voting Precinct (405) from its current location at LaPrade
Library, 9000 Hull Street Road to Lutheran Church of Our Savior at 9601 Hull Street Road. This
relocation is required because LaPrade Library will be undergoing construction at the time of the June
17, 2025 primary election and will be unable to serve as a polling place during
construction. Construction is expected to be complete prior to the November 4, 2025 general election,
and the intention is to move the polling place back to LaPrade Library for the general election.
4. Relocate the polling place for the Reams Voting Precinct (408) from its current location at North
Courthouse Road Library, 325 Courthouse Road, to St. David’s Episcopal Church, 1801 Camborne
Road. This relocation is intended to enhance voter accessibility and provide a better experience for
Page 124 of 149
voters and library patrons. The current polling place hosts two voting precincts, as well as serving as a
library for patrons, which has created issues with parking. Moving the Reams Voting Precinct to a new
polling place location will relieve congestion and allow ample parking for voters and library patrons.
5. Relocate the polling place for the Beaufont Voting Precinct (513) from its current location at Forest
View Rescue Squad, 8008 Midlothian Turnpike, to Stonebridge Recreation Center, 230 Karl Linn
Drive. This relocation is required because the current polling place no longer wishes to serve as a
voting location.
6. Relocate the polling place for the Davis Voting Precinct (515) from its current location at Davis
Elementary School, 415 Providence Road, to Stonebridge Recreation Center, 230 Karl Linn Drive. This
relocation is required because the current polling place will be undergoing construction and will be
unable to serve as a polling place during construction.
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached ordinance to amend County Code § 7-3 (Precinct
Boundaries and Polling Places) to relocate the polling places as described above.
