constitute an endorsement to a prospective purchaser of the Bonds of the

creditworthiness of the Riverside Walter Reed Hospital Projects or of Riverside, and, as required by Virginia law, neither the Commonwealth of Virginia nor any political subdivision thereof, including the County and the Authority, shall be

7. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

VI. Citizens Comment Period - (Speakers should provide 10 copies of

handouts if any)

HOWARD MOWRY - GLOUCESTER POINT

Mr. Mowry stated that the Finance Director should provide an overview of the

past fiscal year revenue and history. He noted a graph with monthly revenue and

expenditures would provide the ability to track trends. He recommended that no more

extensions should be added to the debt program. He stated that the personal property

tax year should be added to the ordinance that changed the real estate tax year and

that it should be accomplished before the start of the next fiscal year.

DON MITCHELL – YORK DISTRICT

Mr. Mitchell stated that the Board should not be accepting grant money from the

Federal Government just because it is available. He further stated that they should be

asking what the advantages or disadvantages of the grants will be to the local tax

payer. He suggested that when the Board considers changing the start time of the

public hearings that they consider moving it before the citizen comment portion of the

evening. He noted that would provide for the general comments to be closer to the

actual agenda items.

VII. Scheduled Presentations A. Overview of Wireless Broadband Possibilities - Scott Varner -

Director of Information Technology and GIS

Mr. Varner provided an overview of the wireless broadband possibilities in the

County. He noted that King and Queen County recently developed the King and

Queen Broadband Authority and implemented public broadband. He then reviewed

the different types of broadband connections to include digital subscriber line (DSL),

cable modem, fiber optic, wireless, satellite, and broadband over power line. He

explained what each option meant and whether there were providers for those services

in the County. He reviewed the speeds provided through the broadband connections

available in the County.

Page 6: July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE GLOUCESTER ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · 2015. 8. 5. · AT A REGULAR MEETING

July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -6-

Mr. Varner reviewed the basic plan and download speed provided by the King

and Queen County Wireless Authority, and noted that they did not have any coverage

in their County by private carriers. He discussed the data caps and cost of service

levels for services provided by the private carriers in Gloucester. He noted that if

Gloucester decided to pursue providing public broadband, using four of the five

communication towers already in place, that there would be good coverage across the

County. He reviewed the connectivity using the towers and the capital costs per tower.

He noted that each tower would serve approximately 90 customers.

Mr. Varner reviewed that the benefits of providing public broadband include no

data caps, affordability for customers, improved quality of life, and possible

competition from the existing service providers. He noted that on the negative side

providing the service means growing the government, no return on the initial

investment, and the County would be competing against the existing providers. He

reviewed the next steps, and noted that the first would be to conduct a public needs

survey.

Board members asked questions regarding the number of possible customers

per tower, and BPL (Broadband over Power Line) service provided in Manassas City.

Mr. Varner advised that with current technology it would be possible to service a

maximum of 90 customers per tower, and noted that he did not have information on

the BPL service in Manassas but would provide that to the Board at a later time.

Board members discussed this matter further including the possible coverage

and costs. By consensus, the Board agreed to have a public needs survey conducted,

and noted that the survey should also ask if the citizen intended to connect if the

service was provided.

VIII. Regular Agenda A. Results and Recommendation of the Debt Service Refunding

Options - Ted Cole - Senior Vice President, Davenport & Company, LLC

Mr. Cole noted that he had discussed with the Board at its May meeting the

potential refinancing of the County’s 2006 bonds for the Courthouse project. He

reviewed that a request for proposals (RFP) was sent out asking for bank bids on

refinancing this piece of debt. He advised that four responses were received. He

reviewed that all four responses were responsive to the RFP, and all were able to

provide financing. He provided an overview of the four responses, including interest

rates and other terms and conditions. He noted that BB&T offered the lowest interest

rate and also had good flexibility going forward. He noted that the interest rate offered

was 2.71% and that rate would result in an annual savings of $50,000 - $55,000. He

advised that Davenport & Company would recommend moving forward with the

refinancing. He stated that Gloucester’s Economic Development Authority (EDA)

would need to meet and take action as the bond financing would go through the EDA.

July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -7-

He stated that if the Board wished to move forward with the refinancing, there was a

resolution in the packet for consideration.

Mr. Meyer moved, seconded by Mr. Hutson, to approve the resolution. The

motion carried and was approved by the following roll call vote: Mr. Chriscoe, Mr.

Meyer, Mr. Bazzani, Mr. Hutson, Mr. James, Mr. Winebarger – yes; and Mr. Orth –

absent.

performance by the County of its obligations under the Basic Documents, to which the County is a party, are hereby authorized. The Basic Documents and the Bond shall be

in such form and contain such provisions as the County Administrator, or his designee, shall approve, such approval to be evidenced conclusively by the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents, to which the County is a party.

documents or certificates, and to do and perform such things and acts, as the County Administrator, or his designee, shall deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the transactions authorized by this Resolution or contemplated by the Basic Documents;

documents securing the Series 2006 Bonds and (ii) to the extent deemed necessary, to cause to be prepared and to execute and deliver an escrow agreement or agreements between the County, the Authority and an escrow agent or escrow agents to be

selected by the County Administrator, or his designee, providing for the irrevocable deposit of the proceeds of the Bond in amounts sufficient, when invested as set forth

in the escrow agreement(s), to provide for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds.

such Section 265(b)(3)). The County does not reasonably anticipate that the County, the County's subordinate entities, and the entities which issue obligations on the County's behalf will issue, in the aggregate, more than $10,000,000 in tax-exempt

payments made by or on behalf of the County under the Lease. The County Administrator is directed to submit for each fiscal year a request to the Board for an appropriation to the Authority for an amount equal to the rental payments coming due

under the Lease. The County's obligations to make payments pursuant to this Resolution shall be subject to and dependent upon annual appropriations being made from time to time by the Board for such purpose. Nothing in this Resolution, the Bond

Regular Agenda suspended for Public Hearings to begin at 8 p.m.

XIII. Public Hearings - 8:00 p.m. A. Public Hearing to Consider a Right-of-Way Agreement among the

County, Dominion Virginia Power and Waste Management - Ted

Wilmot - County Attorney

Mr. Wilmot stated that Dominion Virginia Power has requested that the County

grant an easement, or right-of-way, on property that the County owns but has leased

to Waste Management. He further stated that because Waste Management is the lease

holder, it is necessary for them to be a partner to that agreement. He advised that

representatives from Dominion Virginia Power were present, and requested that they

be heard from first in order to explain the proposed usage of the easement and to

answer any questions. He noted that the Board should then open the public hearing

to public comment.

Ms. Melanie Rapp Beale, External Affairs Manager from Dominion, stated that

Dominion is asking for the easement to assist with future load growth for the northern

part of the County and to assist with current reliability for the residents of the

Dogwood Trail area and the Thousand Trails campground. She introduced Susan

July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -10-

Smith, Project Manager and Dwight Cosgrove, Right of Way Agent, to provide

information and answer questions.

Ms. Smith reviewed that during the summer of 2012 Dominion received a low

voltage complaint from the Thousand Trails campground. She advised that a regulator

was installed in the spring of 2013 to take care of the problem temporarily until they

could complete the current project. She noted that the solution is to obtain the

easement to install 2,120 feet of a three phase line from Waste Management Way to

the single phase line on Pampa Road. She advised that they would also three phase

the single phase line on Pampa Road and install step-downs and reclosers. She stated

that the solution will enable future load growth for the campground and the

surrounding area, as well as providing more reliable service and backup during

restoration events. She noted that the load issue is a result of the increase of

electronics and utilization in homes. She reviewed the maps in the handout and

stated that they are attempting to address the issue proactively. She advised that

Dominion is investing $455,000 to do this project and they are asking the County to

invest by granting Dominion the easement.

Mr. Meyer asked for clarification on the phrase in the contract that states “$1

and other good and valuable consideration” and also asked if the language stating “in

perpetuity” is necessary.

Mr. Cosgrove stated that the consideration is the legal language that makes the

contract a binding contract.

Mr. Wilmot clarified that consideration is what is given to get something. He

advised that to make a contract legally binding each party must give something and

“$1 and other good and valuable consideration” is just the language that is used to

make it binding.

Ms. Smith noted that in perpetuity is necessary because Dominion will need to

maintain the lines even if the property is sold to another owner.

In response to additional questions, Mr. Cosgrove noted that Dominion has a

quit claim process to vacate all rights associated with the document, if in the future

the lines are no longer needed.

Mr. Bazzani noted that he understands the goal is to service the campground

and asked why Dominion had to go through the Waste Management property.

Ms. Smith clarified that the initial reason for the project was to provide better

service to the campground; however, a secondary benefit of three phasing the line will

allow them to mitigate the length of outages for the campground and also the Dogwood

Trail residents. She noted that the route through the Waste Management property

was the shortest route with only one owner rather than multiple owners and a longer

route.

Mr. Bazzani asked about the Waste Management methane gas production plant

and whether they will use this line for the electricity they are generating.

Page 11: July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE GLOUCESTER ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · 2015. 8. 5. · AT A REGULAR MEETING

July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -11-

Ms. Smith noted that she understands they have a plant, but this line does not

benefit Waste Management.

Mr. Bazzani asked if Dominion pays for easements, and after a negative

response he noted he had found instances where property owners were compensated.

Ms. Smith noted that the instances noted were transmission lines and

substations and that is a different situation.

Mr. Bazzani and Mr. Winebarger discussed further the instances where property

owners were paid for easements and the possibility of additional compensation to the

County.

Mr. Bazzani noted that the citizens of the County should be compensated for the

easement that is being requested.

Mr. Cosgrove noted that the transmission and substation entity is different than

the distribution entity within Dominion.

After additional comments, Mr. Chriscoe opened the public hearing for public

comment.

TERRY DEROSE – RESORT MANAGER THOUSAND TRAILS

Ms. Derose stated she had been the resort manager at Thousand Trails for 17

years and she could attest to the inadequate power. She noted that just as in private

homes, she has seen the need for power increase with her customers as well. She

stated that in the past their customers needed about 15 amps for power and now they

require 50 -100 amps. She noted they are not able to sustain proper power to their

customers much less consider any new growth. She stated she supported the request

for the easement.

JASON RUSSO – DIRECTOR, ASSET MANAGEMENT THOUSAND TRAILS

Mr. Russo stated that the lack of adequate electricity is impeding their ability to

do business. He noted that they have ample land and would like to add on but they

have to take care of what they have first. He stated that if there was anything

Thousand Trails could do to help foster this agreement, they were willing to help.

HOWARD MOWRY – GLOUCESTER POINT

Mr. Mowry stated that Dominion was going to make a huge amount of revenue

from this transaction. He recommended this decision be tabled until a revenue

modified agreement can be written and presented to the Board and the citizens. He

stated the parties needed to get together, speak truthfully, and bring a percentage of

revenue back to the County.

NATHAN BROWN – WARE DISTRICT

Mr. Brown stated that the issue seemed cut and dried to him. He noted that the

business wants to expand and needs more power and is asking for the easement. He

stated that the Board should give it to them. He further stated that they had worked it

out with Waste Management so it should not be a problem for the County.

WAYNE CREWS – GLOUCESTER POINT

Page 12: July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE GLOUCESTER ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · 2015. 8. 5. · AT A REGULAR MEETING

July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -12-

Mr. Crews stated that when there were only single lines coming down the

County, we lost power during Isabel and during the tornado. He stated that Dominion

has done a lot for the County, noting they installed another line across the York River

to improve the power to the County. He noted that a transmission line is equivalent to

the interstate and the distribution lines under discussion are like the local roads. He

stated that by installing the line under discussion, it will allow more land to be

developed and bring in new homeowners. He further stated that this will increase the

tax base and that it is an advantage to the County to have this line. He concluded

that the Board needed to be proactive and fix this tonight.

DON MITCHELL – YORK DISTRICT

Mr. Mitchell stated that he felt there was not enough information to put all the

pieces together. He noted it was the Board’s responsibility to put the pieces together

and recommended tabling this decision.

There being no additional speakers, Mr. Chriscoe closed the public hearing and

turned the matter over to the Board.

Mr. Meyer asked about the utility tax that customers pay on their bills every

month. He noted that Dominion wants an easement to improve service to a portion of

the County. He stated that if the County charges a fee to Dominion for installing a

line, then the County is interjecting itself between the company and their customers

when the County already taxes the power company. He noted that it seems that

Dominion is offering improved service to the citizens. If Dominion does see an

increase in revenue as a result, then the County participates as a result of the tax.

Mr. Bazzani asked again about the proposed route and why Dominion does not

use Route 601.

Ms. Smith noted that the proposed route is the shortest distance for the line.

There was further discussion on the cost of the underground line versus an

overhead line.

Mr. James noted that he supported providing more power to the campground

and citizens in that area. He stated that he does have a problem with what is going on

at Waste Management. He noted that if the County could benefit from the electricity

coming from Waste Management then it should. He noted that it seemed to be two

different issues though, and he was in support of providing the power to the

campground.

Mr. Curry informed the Board that Waste Management brought their landfill gas

energy plant online in 2009 and are currently sending electricity into the grid.

Mr. Hutson advised that if he were Waste Management and the County wanted

money as a result of the transmission then he would want to renegotiate the contract

and put some of the burden back on the County. He stated that Waste Management is

already selling the energy they are making and the proposed line is not going to help

them since they are already selling the energy.

Page 13: July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE GLOUCESTER ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · 2015. 8. 5. · AT A REGULAR MEETING

July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -13-

After further discussion by the Board, Mr. Wanner noted that the success of

Thousand Trails will generate other revenue for the County such as an increase in

meals and lodging tax. He stated that the transmission lines are different than the

distribution for reliability lines.

Board members discussed the matter further.

Mr. Meyer moved, seconded by Mr. Hutson, to approve the resolution to

authorize the County Administrator to execute the right-of-way agreement. The

motion carried and was approved by the following roll call vote: Mr. Chriscoe, Mr.

Meyer, Mr. Hutson, Mr. James, Mr. Winebarger – yes; Mr. Bazzani – No; and Mr. Orth

– absent.

A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE INTERIM COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO ACCEPT AND EXECUTE A RIGHT-OF-WAY AGREEMENT AMONG THE COUNTY,

DOMINION VIRGINIA POWER, AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

WHEREAS, Gloucester County has been approached by Dominion Virginia Power seeking an easement across County property (Tax Map No. 9-60) adjacent to the landfill and extending to the landfill in order to install some utilities; and

WHEREAS, the Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Resolution, has

been reviewed by County Staff, Waste Management, and the County Attorney; and

WHEREAS, the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors held a duly advertised

public hearing on July 7, 2015.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Gloucester County Board of

Supervisors this 7th day of July 2015 that the County Administrator of Gloucester County is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the County, to accept and execute the

Agreement among the County, Dominion Virginia Power, and Waste Management; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors

this 7th day of July 2015 that the Interim County Administrator of Gloucester County is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the County, and to accept and execute the Right-of-Way Agreement which has been approved as to form by the County Attorney.

Mr. Chriscoe called for a brief recess prior to the start of the next public hearing.

B. Public Hearing to Consider a Resolution to Authorize Conveyance

of Surplus Real Property - Ted Wilmot - County Attorney

After the recess, Mr. Wilmot stated that the County was currently in possession

of two parcels of property which were obtained as part of a bond forfeiture in an

animal control case. He reviewed that the defendant in the case formerly owned three

parcels of land. When his animals were seized, he was ordered to post bond to defray

the County’s expenses in caring for the animals were he to be convicted. He stated the

defendant was ultimately convicted of animal cruelty. He advised that one of the

parcels was sold in December 2011, and the other two parcels have been on the

market for almost four years. He stated that the County has received an offer on one

of the parcels. He reviewed that the property was assessed at $24,960 and the

proposed purchase price is $15,000.

Page 14: July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE GLOUCESTER ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · 2015. 8. 5. · AT A REGULAR MEETING

July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -14-

Mr. Chriscoe noted that Mr. Green, the County Assessor, advised that as of July

7 the property was currently valued at $19,500.

Mr. Wilmot stated that when the County received the property there was a

derelict structure on it and $6,025 was expended to remove that structure. He

advised that there had been some concern that FEMA (Federal Emergency

Management Agency) funds were used to remove that structure; however, he clarified

that no FEMA funds were used to remove the structure.

Mr. Chriscoe opened the public hearing for public comment.

ROBERT WARDEN – YORK DISTRICT

Mr. Warden stated that the three properties were seized for non-payment of fees

associated with the costs of animal confiscation. He further stated that the actual

costs of caring for the animals is unknown. He noted that the property that was sold

in 2011 was sold for less than its value and asked why the Board at the time did not

ask for the factual total of the costs of caring for the animals. He stated that the

property that is being considered tonight was worth $55,000 when it was seized. He

further stated that the horses that were taken in this case were to be sold to pay for

the bill but they were given away.

There being no other speakers, Mr. Chriscoe closed the public hearing and

turned the matter over to the Board.

Mr. Winebarger noted that there is a memo in the Board package that provides

the total funds that were expended to care for the animals.

Mr. Meyer moved, seconded by Mr. Hutson, to approve the sale of surplus

property. The motion carried and was approved by the following roll call vote: Mr.

Chriscoe, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Bazzani, Mr. Hutson, Mr. James, Mr. Winebarger – yes; and

Mr. Orth – absent.

A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CONVEYANCE OF

CERTAIN SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has been informed that the County owns

certain “surplus” real property, obtained by Order of the Circuit Court dated July 15, 2011. The property was obtained by the County due to the forfeiture of real property bonds in an Animal Control case, to cover the cost to the County of the care of the

animals involved. The property consists of three parcels of land; Tax Map No. 45-356; Tax Map No. 45-365; and Tax Map No. 52-377B (Tax Map 52-377B was previously

sold); and

WHEREAS, County departments were contacted regarding the availability of the

surplus property and none of the departments expressed interest in the property for County use; and

WHEREAS, the two remaining properties were listed for sale, and a singular

offer to purchase one of the parcels (Tax Map No. 45-365 – 6967 Ernest Lane),

consisting of 0.50 acres in Hayes (York Magisterial District), has been received in the amount of $15,000.00; and

WHEREAS, the parcel was most recently purchased in 1996 by the County’s predecessor in title for $8,800.00; and

Page 15: July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE GLOUCESTER ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · 2015. 8. 5. · AT A REGULAR MEETING

Regular Agenda resumed after Public Hearings

B. Program for Public Information Adoption - Ken Evans - Chair, PPI Subcommittee of Floodplain Management Committee and Cathy

Estep - Chair, Floodplain Management Committee

Mr. Evans stated that as a part of an effort to fulfill a suggestion from the

National Flood Insurance Program, the committee has developed a Program for Public

Information. He noted that the preliminary feedback from FEMA (Federal Emergency

Management Agency) had been very positive. He encouraged the Board to take action

to adopt the program which is a requirement for the final submission of the program

to FEMA. He thanked Mr. Paul Koll, Building Official, Mr. Curry and other County

staff for expediting things in the last month.

Ms. Estep stated that the efforts of the committee members and County staff

have been tremendous. She noted that it appears that this effort will pay off by

providing additional flood insurance premium discounts to citizens.

Mr. Bazzani asked if this was the same points program discussed in an earlier

meeting.

Mr. Chriscoe clarified that the County gains CRS (Community Rating System)

points for different things and that the points translate to discounts for the homes in

the floodplain, or those that seek flood insurance. He noted that it is a benefit to the

citizens to have a lower flood insurance rate.

Mr. Winebarger moved, seconded by Mr. James, to adopt the Program for Public

Information. The motion carried and was approved by the following roll call vote: Mr.

Chriscoe, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Hutson, Mr. James, Mr. Winebarger – yes; Mr. Bazzani – No;

and Mr. Orth – absent.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING A PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION FOR GLOUCESTER COUNTY

WHEREAS, the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors adopted a Coastal

Floodplain Management Plan in 2014; and WHEREAS, the Coastal Floodplain Management Plan recommended the

development of a formal Program for Public Information (PPI) as defined by the Community Rating System (CRS); and

Page 16: July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE GLOUCESTER ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · 2015. 8. 5. · AT A REGULAR MEETING

July 7, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -16-

WHEREAS, adoption of a PPI will serve the community by identifying and

organizing methods through which information can be shared with citizens regarding how they can mitigate their flooding risks; and

WHEREAS, Gloucester County currently enjoys a Class 7 rating in the CRS leading to a 15% discount for nearly all flood insurance policy holders in the county,

and the development of a PPI will provide additional CRS points potentially improving the County’s class rating and related discount; and

WHEREAS, the citizen driven PPI subcommittee of the Floodplain Management Committee developed a PPI dated June 2015; and

WHEREAS, at their June 17, 2015, meeting the Floodplain Management Committee formally voted to approve the PPI and to recommend that the Board of

Supervisors adopt the PPI.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Gloucester County Board of

Supervisors that the Program for Public Information dated June 2015 and included in the July 7, 2015 Board meeting agenda packet is hereby adopted as a planning tool for

the community.

C. Decision on Environmental Programs Grant Appropriation for Fiscal Year 2016 - Maria C. Calloway - Accounting Manager

Ms. Calloway stated that the Department of Environmental Programs was

requesting an appropriation for a grant that has been awarded. She noted that the

grant is from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to carry out a

historical data clean-up project. She stated that the funding will be used to measure

the installation and coverage of storm water management measures from 1999 to the

present. She noted that the work will be contracted out based on an existing State

contract and that the grant is fully reimbursable and no new money is required.

Mr. Bazzani asked what strings would be attached to this grant.

Mr. Scott Rae, Environmental Programs Director, stated that there will be an

expectation from the State that the County will track the BMPs (Best Management

Practices) that are installed on commercial sites and report them annually to the

State.

After further questions from Mr. Bazzani, Mr. Rae clarified that there will be no

limitations to property owners as a result of this project.

Mr. Winebarger asked for an explanation of the historical data clean-up project.

Mr. Rae stated that this project will allow Gloucester to report on the actual

pollution removal from the waters from 1999 to the present rather than having the

State use numbers based on a model and not on factual data.

Board members discussed this matter further.

Mr. Meyer moved, seconded by Mr. Hutson, to approve the appropriation for the

grant. The motion carried and was approved by the following roll call vote: Mr.

Chriscoe, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Hutson, Mr. James, Mr. Winebarger – yes; Mr. Bazzani – No;

and Mr. Orth – absent.

Mr. Lewis stated that on May 29 the Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA) issued a notice of funding availability under the Unified Hazard Mitigation

Assistance Grant Program. He noted that the grants are open yearly and are

nationally competitive. He further noted that the deadline to apply for the funding is

July 24. He advised that after careful consideration of the current number of elevation

projects, the Hazard Mitigation Management Team is recommending that the County

not apply for these grants at this time. He concluded that ultimately it is the Board’s

decision whether to apply, and the team is requesting direction from the Board.

Mr. Winebarger moved, seconded by Mr. Bazzani, to direct the Hazard Mitigation

Team not to submit an application for the grant.

Mr. Chriscoe made it clear that if the funding becomes available in the future,

the staff will bring it back to the Board for consideration.

The motion carried and was approved by the following roll call vote: Mr.

Chriscoe, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Bazzani, Mr. Hutson, Mr. James, Mr. Winebarger – yes; and

hearings. He noted that this item would allow the Board to consider changing the

start time of its public hearings from 8:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Mr. Hutson moved, seconded by Mr. Winebarger, to change the start time of the

He stated that the event is open to the public.
