2. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS
2.A. PRESENTATION REGARDING 2008 PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY IN
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
Mr. John Clifford, Chair of the Chesterfield county Electoral
Board, stated the Electoral Board had underestimated the
turnout of the 2008 Presidential Primary on February 12,
2008. He further stated for the November Presidential
election the Registrars office will produce 190,000 ballots,
which is the number of registered voters in Chesterfield
County, and they will also increase the number of lines at
each precinct. He stated the State Electoral Board of
Elections approved the number of ballots prepared for the
Presidential Primary and they did not recommend preparing
additional ballots. He further stated there were enough
ballots printed for the actual turnout of voters, although
some precincts had a higher turnout than others. He
commended the poll workers for their hard work.
08-121
~.r~
02/27/08
Mr. Holland stressed importance of maintaining the integrity
of the election. He inquired why some people did not get to
vote.
In response to Mr. Holland's questions, Mr. Clifford
explained the ballot order was increased twice prior to
election day, and ballots were shifted to different
precincts. He stated Chesterfield's Electoral Board counted
the handwritten ballots, but the State Electoral Board has
decided the handwritten ballots will not be counted. He
stated the Electoral Board did request assistance throughout
the day and state troopers were sent to assist with
delivering additional ballots to the precincts. He also
explained the procedure used by the Chief Precinct Officer
when closing down the precinct.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Clifford stated
underestimating the voter turnout affected which precinct the
ballots were distributed and a shortage of poll workers. He
further stated he was unaware that handwritten ballots were
illegal because of a precedent that was set a number of years
earlier in an election where handwritten ballots were
accepted. He stated if the handwritten ballots had changed
the results of the election, the Electoral Board would have
been in court seeking a resolution to the handwritten ballot
question.
Mr. Gecker stated a lack of manpower was part of the problem.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Clifford stated the
lack of ballots and manpower to work the polls will not
happen again because the Electoral Board will use the 2008
Presidential Primary as a keystone for future elections.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Clifford suggested
the Electoral Board may need to explore splitting some
precincts throughout the county. He added that this could
have a financial impact for the county.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Clifford explained
the procedure for checking in voters at the precincts.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Clifford explained
the Registrar's office has full time staff who are currently
reviewing and rewriting their instruction manuals to ensure
the same mistakes are not made in the future. He stated they
are constantly recruiting poll workers and provide them with
several training sessions throughout the year.
Ms. Jaeckle commended the Registrar's office for their
professionalism. She stated she believes they will work hard
to correct the problems to ensure they will not have them in
the future.
2.8. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Mr. Stegmaier provided a legislative update for Ms. Curtin.
He stated Senate Bill 768 will be heard tomorrow in the House
Rules Committee at 4 p.m. He further stated the county is
still working to have the bill stopped since it is extremely
detrimental to the county finances. He further stated the
08-122
02/27/08
bill concerning Homestead Exemptions was recommitted to
committee, which means it is unlikely to come back this year.
He provided an update on the seriousness of the state budget
concerns.
2.C. CERTIFICATION PRESENTATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Mr. Eanes stated the Parks and Recreation Department recently
received International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
14001 registration for their Environmental Management System
development and implementation. He further stated this is
first Parks and Recreation Department in the country to
receive this prestigious registration. He then stated the
Waste and Resource Recovery Division has received the United
States Environmental Protection Agency's Performance Track
certification, the first to receive this EPA certification in
the country.
Mr. Stegmaier and Mr. Eanes introduced the employees of the
Parks and Recreation Department and the Waste and Resource
Recovery Division and presented them the awards.
Mr. Stegmaier thanked the employees for the hard work they
have put into these projects.
Mr. Bob Herbert, Senior COTA Fellow, Virginia Tech Center for
Organizational and Technological Advancement Program
presented a brief explanation of the Chesterfield County
Environmental Management System's development and
implementation. He provided the Board with details of some
of the benefits of developing such a system.
Mr. Eanes thanked the Board for the opportunity to present
the information and the staff for their hard work in
obtaining the recognitions.
3. BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
Mr. Holland updated the Board on the results of the Budget
and Audit Committee meeting. He stated the Committee
recommends the Board put the Management Study on hold and
also to have the Director of Internal Audit to report
quarterly to Budget and Audit Committee for significant
issues concerning the county. He further stated he had
received several real estate assessment inquiries from
elderly citizens. He stated he will host a community meeting
on March 3 at 7:00 p.m. at Meadowbrook High School.
Ms. Durfee stated she has completed all of the town hall
meetings in the Matoaca District and had participation from
about 300 citizens and she thanked the citizens for
attending. She requested the Board be updated on General
Assembly issues as quickly as possible.
Mr. Gecker clarified that the Budget and Audit Committee
recommendation to put off Management Study was just until
