          [A County Administrator Remarks Concerning COVID-19.]
AT THIS TIME AS WE HAVE FOR JUST ABOUT THE LAST YEAR, I'M GOING TO CALL ON OUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FOR COVID SITUATION UPDATES. 
          SO MR. MORGAN, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. 
          UH, IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SINCE THE COVID 19 EMERGENCY, UH, THAT WE HAVE LIVED THROUGH, UH, AND I BELIEVE THE BOARD AND THE CITIZENS EXPECT TO HEAR AN UPDATE UNTIL WE GET THROUGH THIS. 
          AND, UH, AS WE'VE ALL BEEN READING, I THINK THERE IS SOME POSITIVE NEWS AND SOME LIGHT OUT THERE AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. 
          UH, I WANT TO TRY NOT TO REPEAT THE THINGS THAT ARE READILY AVAILABLE, UH, IN THE NEWS. 
          SO, UH, VIRGINIA'S CASES I'VE BEEN DROPPING FOR ABOUT SIX WEEKS. 
          UH, WE'RE PART OF THE EASTERN REGION AND YORK COUNTY AND THE EASTERN REGION HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THAT STATEWIDE PATTERN. 
          UM, AND THAT REALLY MEANS THAT ON A CASE COUNT BASIS, WE'RE DOWN TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE THE POST THANKSGIVING PEAK. 
          SO THAT'S A PRETTY POSITIVE, PRETTY EXCITING TO SEE THAT CONTINUING, UH, WITH THE LITTLE CAUTION THAT WE'VE ALL HEARD, UM, THAT, THAT SLOWING TREND IS KIND OF, UM, UH, LEVELED OFF SOME, AND OF COURSE THE CONCERN ABOUT, YOU KNOW, OTHER VARIANTS AND THE RACE TO THE VACCINE AND ALL THAT. 
          UM, MAINLY I JUST WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PENINSULA WIDE VACCINATION EFFORT, WHICH I THINK IS, UH, WHAT FOLKS WERE MOST INTERESTED IN AT THIS POINT. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN ALL THIS STARTED AND WE WERE FIGURING OUT OPERATIONS AND HEALTH PROTOCOLS AND HOW TO HAVE MEETINGS AND THE IMPACT ON FINANCES AT THAT TIME, THE, THE DISTANT PROSPECT OF VACCINES SEEMED LIKE THE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW. 
          AND THEN WHEN WE GOT THERE, IT WAS YET, UH, ANOTHER CHALLENGE, UM, YOU KNOW, AS THE PENINSULA LOCALITIES AND THE HEALTH DISTRICT AND THE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, UH, TRIED TO FIGURE OUT A SYSTEM TO DELIVER THEM AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SUPPLY WOULD BE. 
          BUT IF YOU COMPARE, UH, WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY TO, UM, SIX OR EIGHT WEEKS AGO, UM, QUITE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE. 
          THE FIRST PIECE OF NEWS ON, UM, THE VACCINE STORY IS THAT AS OF FIVE O'CLOCK TODAY, WE HAVE SHUT DOWN THE COUNTY HELPLINE, UH, BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF CALLS COMING 
          [00:05:01]
IN HAD, UH, DWINDLED TO A VERY SMALL AMOUNT, UH, SINCE LAUNCHING IT A MONTH AGO, UH, THE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS TEAMS FIELDED 2,500 CALLS AND HELPED, UH, 1800 CITIZENS, 65 AND OLDER, UH, GET REGISTERED IN WHILE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE FROM YORK COUNTY. 
          UH, WE BASICALLY TRIED TO HELP, UM, ANYONE WHO CALLED AND, UM, FROM OTHER LOCALITIES IN THE AREA. 
          SO WE'RE NOW IN A POSITION THAT, UH, WE CAN REFER YOU TO THE VDH VACCINE HOTLINE, WHICH IS OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. 
          AND, UM, THAT'S BASICALLY, UH, THE SYSTEM THAT THE STATE IS STOOD UP, UH, IN LOCALITIES AROUND THE STATE ARE GRADUALLY TURNING THEIR SYSTEMS OFF AS THE STATEWIDE CAPACITY TO ASSIST PEOPLE IN REGISTERING HAS IMPROVED, UH, FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THE OPERATORS AND TRAINEES, AND NINE 11 THAT WERE STAFFING. 
          THIS HELPLINE ARE IN ADDITION TO THEIR TRAINING ARE ALSO, UH, SUPPORTING, UH, THE COUNTY'S EFFORTS WITH THE REGION AND ARE SERVING THIS WEEK AT CNU AND THE COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG FOUNDATION, UH, ASSISTING WITH THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. 
          I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, UH, THE LEADERSHIP EMERGENCE OF EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS, UM, AND THE, THE LINES AND THE PROTOCOLS THAT WE ESTABLISHED FOR THIS HOTLINE, OR ARE STILL IN PLACE. 
          AND IF WE NEED TO RE-INSTITUTE IT, OR, UH, EMPLOY SUCH A MECHANISM FOR SOME OTHER PURPOSE, UM, UM, WHAT WE'VE DONE AND WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS, IS EASILY REPLICATED. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD STORY STATEWIDE. 
          UM, IN THE PAST MONTH, THE, UH, THE AMOUNT OF, UM, VACCINE DOES IS COMING INTO THE STATE HAS GONE FROM ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND A WEEK TO ABOUT 200,000 A WEEK. 
          UH, SO, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS THERE, UH, WITH THAT CONTINUING, IF YOU, UH, IF YOU COUNT THE MILITARY AND THE MILITARY DEPENDENCE, WHICH WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A GOOD NUMBER ON, UH, IT SEEMS REASONABLE THAT TO SUGGEST THAT OVER 20% OF VIRGINIA'S POPULATION IN OVER 20% OF YOUR COUNTY'S POPULATION HAS HAD, UH, AT LEAST A ONE SHOT. 
          UH, AND AS THE GOVERNOR POINTED OUT IN HIS NEWS CONFERENCE LAST WEEK, IF YOU COMBINE THOSE FOLKS WITH THE 500,000 PEOPLE THAT, UH, HAVE HAD COVID AT SOME TIME IN THE LAST YEAR, AND PRESUMABLY HAVE ANTIBODIES, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A THIRD OF THE POPULATION AT THIS POINT THAT PRESUMABLY HAS SOME IMMUNITY. 
          SO WE'RE STARTING TO APPROACH THAT CRITICAL POINT. 
          UM, IT IS OUR HOPE. 
          SO THE SIX PENINSULA LOCALITIES HAVE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH THE HEALTH SECTOR IN THE THREE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS AS ARE REPORTED A MONTH AGO, UH, WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE THIRD VACCINE, THE JOHNSON AND JOHNSON VACCINE, AND THE OVERALL, UM, YOU KNOW, SUPPLY TREND, I'M ANTICIPATING SOME NEW PROCEDURES AND NEW VENUES FOR VACCINES. 
          I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO REPORT. 
          I'LL BE IN A COUPLE OF MEETINGS LATER THIS WEEK, WHERE WE EXPECT TO LEARN MORE OF SCENARIOS RANGE FROM UTILIZING THE FACILITIES WE ALREADY HAVE AND JUST IMPROVING THE THROUGHPUT, UM, TO, UH, SENDING MORE DOSES TO DOCTOR'S OFFICES AND PHARMACIES, UH, OR PERHAPS OPENING OTHER, UH, POP-UP CLINICS AND VARIOUS LOCATIONS. 
          SO AS SOON AS, UM, UH, THE COUNTY STAFF HAS UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE PENINSULA AS A HEALTH DISTRICT IS DOING, WE WILL OF COURSE, UH, REPORT THAT, UH, ON ALL OF OUR, UM, MEDIA SITES, AS WELL AS TO THE BOARD. 
          AND I WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE SOME NEWS ON THAT PROBABLY AS EARLY AS NEXT WEEK, UH, AGAIN, ESPECIALLY FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC. 
          WELL, IT CAN, I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE TAKEN CALLS ON THIS, UH, WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE PENINSULA, THE SIX LOCALITIES FROM WILLIAMSBURG TO PROPOSE THEM TO NEWPORT NEWS AND HAMPTON JAMES CITY AND YORK, WE SHARE A HEALTH DISTRICT. 
          AND THE FOUR CLINICS THAT ARE BEING OPERATED, UH, HAPPENED TO BE IN WILLIAMSBURG. 
          NEWPORT NEWS IS YOUR WORK IN HAMPTON, BUT THEY ARE EQUAL ONLY SERVING RESIDENTS OF ALL SIX LOCALITIES. 
          UM, THE REGISTRATION PROCESS IS THROUGH THE STATE VDH. 
          SO IT'S IMPORTANT NOT TO THINK OF THE CLINICS AS BELONGING TO ANY ON LOCALITY, UH, CITIZENS FROM YOUR COUNTY. 
          UH, I'VE BEEN VACCINATED AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE VACCINATED AT ALL OF THOSE LOCATIONS. 
          AND INCREASINGLY I THINK WHAT WE'LL SEE THE, 
          [00:10:01]
IS A PATTERN WHERE, UM, PEOPLE GET VACCINATED AT THEIR DOCTOR'S OFFICE OR THE PHARMACY OR THE GROCERY STORE. 
          UM, AS WE SEE THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND, UM, SORT OF EQUALIZER OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, I AM PLEASED REPORT. 
          AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT, THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS, WE'VE HAD VERY STRONG PARTICIPATION RATES FOR THE COUNTY STAFF AND THE SCHOOL STAFF. 
          AND, UH, THE IMPLICATION OF THAT IS OBVIOUSLY WE'RE THAT MUCH CLOSER TO BEING ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, OPERATE NORMALLY, UM, WHICH MOST PEOPLE ARE, YOU KNOW, A COMFORT ZONE IN TERMS OF THEIR PERSONAL SAFETY AND, AND HOW THEY MIGHT INTERACT WITH OTHERS AGAIN. 
          YEAH, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMIND EVERYONE LISTENING, UH, WHAT A GREAT EFFORT WE'VE HAD FROM THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE, YOUR COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY. 
          HAVE THEY SUPPORTED, SUPPORTED THE CLINIC, UH, COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG AT CNU OR NEWS, AND ALSO AT THE YORK SENIOR CENTER, UH, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO, UH, INTO THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, UH, LOOKING FORWARD, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY, UH, ABOUT HOW THE VACCINES WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE GENERAL POPULATION. 
          UM, AND THAT UNCERTAINTY THAT I CONTINUALLY FIND MYSELF DESCRIBING ALSO TRANSPORT FLIGHTS INTO OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PANDEMIC, AS WE HOPEFULLY SEE IT WINDING DOWN, UH, IN TERMS OF ITS IMPACT ON THE COUNTY'S, UH, FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL POSTURE. 
          AND AS WE PRESUMABLY COME CLOSE TO RESUMING ALL OF LIFE'S NORMAL ACTIVITIES, YOU'LL GET A LITTLE BIT OF A SENSE OF THAT UNCERTAINTY, UH, LATER THIS EVENING, WHEN YOU RECEIVED THE REPORT FROM PARKS AND RECREATION TOURISM, AS THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO ARTICULATE THEIR PLANS FOR SUMMER AND FALL EVENTS, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO MAKE SOME HEROIC ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT, UH, WHAT WILL BE POSSIBLE. 
          UH, AND THEN THERE'S A CORRESPONDING DECISION IN THE BUDGET ABOUT WHAT WILL BE POSSIBLE. 
          UH, AND YOU'LL GET A SENSE OF THAT WHEN I PRESENT MY RECOMMENDED OPERATING BUDGET ON MARCH 16TH, MARCH 16TH. 
          SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO UPDATE YOU AND THE CITIZENS, UH, AS THIS SITUATION APPEARS TO BE, UM, UH, MOVING ALONG AND FOR THE MOST PART IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION. 
          THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY REMARKS. 
          THANK YOU, MR. MORGAN, UH, MS. NO. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MORGAN? UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG YOU'LL BE USING THE SENIOR CENTER, DO YOU THINK TO THE SUMMER, OR YOU THINK YOU'RE PETER OUT BY THE SUMMER? UM, I REALLY DON'T KNOW. 
          UH, JUST IF I HAD TO TAKE A GUESS, I WOULD SAY THROUGH MAY, UM, AND THAT'S WHEN GENERALLY PEOPLE PROJECTED THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND WILL BE IMBALANCED. 
          IN WHICH CASE YOU WOULD THINK PEOPLE, UH, DESIRES OF A VACCINE COULD GET AT SORT OF THE USUAL VENUES LIKE A PHARMACY OR A DOCTOR'S OFFICE. 
          RIGHT. 
          WELL, I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE SENIOR CENTER. 
          SO I THINK THE STAFF FOR MANNING IT ALONG WITH THE VOLUNTEERS FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 
          OH, NO, A GOOD BRIEFING, NEIL. 
          UH, I CERTAINLY AGREE THAT IT'S TIME. 
          WE STARTED LOOKING POSITIVE ABOUT THIS, UH, DILEMMA, GOLDA, THE PANDEMIC. 
          UH, IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATS BY PHDS AND DOCTORS AND VERY SMART PEOPLE. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH DIET WITH, UH, COVID-19 FOR LESS THAN ONE HALF OF 1% HAD DIED FROM IT, PURELY FROM IT. 
          AND, UH, SO I'M GLAD THE STATS LOOK MORE POSITIVE. 
          THEY WERE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. 
          THANK YOU, MR. RANDALL. 
          YEAH. 
          SO SOME GOOD CSUN, HERE'S SOME POSITIVE NEWS ON THE COVID FRONT. 
          AND I WANT TO COMMENT REAL QUICK ABOUT THAT HOTLINE WE HAD SET UP. 
          I THINK THAT WORKED REALLY WELL. 
          IT GOT TURNED OFF QUICKLY. 
          I GOT USED REALLY WELL. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE DIAL INTO IT. 
          I THINK THERE'S SOME GOOD LESSONS LEARNED FROM THAT SO THAT WE CAN APPLY IN THE FUTURE OR SOMETHING COMES UP QUICKLY, SPIN UP A HOTLINE, DIRECT PEOPLE TO IT, GIVE THEM A GOOD INFORMATION. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE DON'T PUT THAT ON A SHELF AND FORGET ABOUT IT. 
          WE CAN REUSE THAT AGAIN. 
          AND I SEE YOU'VE ALREADY UPDATED THE, UH, THE COVID-19 PORTAL TO DIRECT PEOPLE TO THE NEW NUMBER. 
          IF SOMEBODY SHOULD CALL THE OLD NUMBER, DO THEY GET A VOICEMAIL GREETING TO SAY, CALL THE, THE STATE NUMBER OR, OR THAT'S A, YOU GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS THAT. 
          AND IF YOU STAY ON THE, IT EVENTUALLY ROLLS OVER TO A CALL TAKER, WHICH WE'LL TALK TO YOU IN PERSON. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANKS MUCH. 
          THAT'S TRUE. 
          MR. SHOPPER AND THE MAIL WAS A PERCENTAGE. 
          [00:15:01]
YOU SAID THE STAFF HAD REFUSED TO TAKE THE SHOT. 
          UH, THE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF PART-TIME AND PEOPLE WHO, FOR VARIOUS REASONS COULDN'T, BUT BROAD BRUSH. 
          UH, OUR ESTIMATE IS 79% OF THE COUNTY WORKFORCE, UM, HAS BEEN WILLING TO BE VACCINATED. 
          AND ABOUT 89% OF THE SCHOOL WORKFORCE HAS BEEN WILLING TO BE VACCINATED. 
          HAVE WE REACHED A POINT WHERE ALL THE STAFF MEMBERS WHO WANT TO BE, OR GET THE SHOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO, UM, EXCEPT FOR, UM, A FEW, UH, UNUSUAL CASES, WHICH ARE SORT OF STILL IN THE, ON THE LIST BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY HAD A SHINGLE SHOT WHERE THEY WERE SICK OR, OR THERE WAS SOME OTHER, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE WAS A PREGNANCY OR THERE WAS SOME OTHER REASON WHY, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE ADVISED NOT TO TAKE IT, BUT, UH, THAT'S BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND THE COUNTY THAT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, MAYBE 15 OR 20 PEOPLE A WEEK THAT ARE EMERGING. 
          AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, BOTH ORGANIZATIONS CONTINUE TO HIRE PEOPLE. 
          AND SO AS NEW PEOPLE COME INTO THE ORGANIZATION, WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, ACCOMMODATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM AS WELL. 
          ANY SENSE AS TO WHEN WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO THE NEXT CATEGORY? UH, AGAIN, I ALLUDED TO SOME MEETINGS I'LL BE IN TOMORROW AND THURSDAY. 
          UM, AND, UM, I WOULD SAY IT CAN'T BE TOO MUCH FURTHER, UH, TWO, THREE WEEKS MAYBE BE MY GUESS. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          QUICK, QUICK, QUICK. 
          FOLLOW-UP IF DURING THOSE MEETINGS, DDA SAYS, HEY, WE WANT TO STAND UP ANOTHER CLINIC IN THE COUNTY. 
          ARE WE READY TO PROVIDE THEM A ROTATION TO DO THAT SUGGESTION? UM, W W YOU KNOW, THE, THE COUNTY AND THE OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ON THE PENINSULA ARE BASICALLY PREPARED TO DO ANYTHING WITH THIS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO DO. 
          UM, AND THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE HAD BEEN, UH, CONVERSATIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS OF ALL KINDS OF SCENARIOS, LIKE OUTDOOR SCENARIOS AND PARKING LOTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UH, SO, SO STEVE AND THE ANSWER IS, UH, YES, WE WOULD BE OPEN-MINDED TO ANY SUGGESTION. 
          I THINK THE WAY IT'S HEADED THOUGH, UM, THE, THE LARGER OPERATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SET UP ARE CAPABLE OF HANDLING THREE OR FOUR TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY ARE NOW BECAUSE OF THE SUPPLY LIMITATION, EVEN THE SENIOR CENTER, UH, WHICH THE FORECAST FOR NEXT WEEK IS, UH, 501ST DOSES AND 502ND DOSES, A THOUSAND TOTAL. 
          UM, IT WOULD NOT BE THAT DIFFICULT TO PROCESS 3000 PEOPLE THROUGH THERE IN A WEEK. 
          SO IN TERMS OF, YOU ALL HAVE SO MANY FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDICS AND SO MANY VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION PEOPLE, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, IT'S PROBABLY MORE LIKELY THAT WE'LL ACCELERATE THE USE OF THE PLACES WE HAVE. 
          UM, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST ONE PLAYER ALONG WITH FIVE OTHER LOCALITIES, THREE HOSPITALS SYSTEMS AND THE HEALTH DISTRICT. 
          AND SO WE'LL, WE'LL TRY TO BE PART OF THE TEAM TO, TO KEEP MAKING IT BETTER. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANKS. 
          THANK YOU, MR. MORGAN, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE TIME THAT WE DO NOT LEAD OFF MEETINGS WITH THE CORONA VIRUS UPDATE TO THIS TIME, I'D 
          [B Watermans Museum. Receive presentation from Steve Ormsby, Director, concerning upcoming events for the Watermen’s Museum.]
LIKE TO MOVE ON TO THE WATERMAN'S MUSEUM. 
          WHO'S GOING TO GIVE US A PRESENTATION AND WE HAVE, UH, STEVE HORNSBY AND MICHAEL STEEN. 
          WE'RE GOING TO TELL US ABOUT ALL THE EXCITING ACTIVITIES AND THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AT THE WATERMAN'S MUSEUM THERE AND THERE THEY ARE IN THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE WATERMARK MUSEUM. 
          ARE WE ON? YOU'RE ON. 
          OKAY. 
          WE COULDN'T HEAR YOU. 
          HI, STEVE ORMSBY AND MIKE STEAM FROM THE WATERMAN'S MUSEUM. 
          UH, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO, TO COME TO THE MEETING AND, AND KIND OF TELL YOU WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING DOWN HERE AT THE MUSEUM AND THE ROAD AHEAD. 
          AND, AND IT'S LIKE, UH, LIKE THE COUNTY FOLKS, WE'RE PLANNING ON A, ON A FUN SUMMER WITH A LOT OF ACTIVITIES. 
          SO IF YOU COULD BRING UP THE FIRST SLIDE, PLEASE, NEXT HERE'S THE CURRENT STATUS ON THE MUSEUM? UH, HOW MANY, WHAT THE HOURS ARE, WE'RE OPEN, HOW MANY FOLKS WE HAVE THAT WORK HERE, AND ALSO HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS WE HAVE AND, AND FAMILY MEMBERS. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S A PRETTY ROBUST LITTLE ORGANIZATION 
          [00:20:03]
AND JUMP IN. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ANY POINT AT CURRENT STATUS, UH, NON COVID YEAR STATS, WE TYPICALLY HAVE ABOUT 22,000 PEOPLE VISIT ANNUALLY. 
          OUR ANNUAL BUDGET IS A 2200 20,000 COVID IMPACTS. 
          YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY WERE. 
          THEY WERE SIGNIFICANT. 
          UH, THEY SHUT US DOWN IN MANY, MANY WAYS. 
          UH, WE DIDN'T EVEN OPEN UNTIL JUNE AS OPPOSED TO OUR NORMAL APRIL, UH, MANY OF OUR EVENTS AND ALMOST ALL WEDDINGS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WERE CANCELED. 
          WE WERE ABLE TO RUN CAMPS, BUT AT A VERY, VERY SMALL CAPACITY OF ABOUT 40% DIRECT INCOME OVERALL DOWN 75% NEXT SLIDE PROGRAM, FIELD TRIPS IN A TYPICAL YEAR, WE DO 6,800 KIDS, 50% ARE FROM YOUR COUNTY. 
          UH, THE OTHER TWO BIG GROUPS ARE GLOUCESTER AND WILLIAMSBURG JAMES CITY, BUT WE DO HAVE KIDS UP FROM AS FAR AWAY AS MIDLOTHIAN AND, UH, THE RICHMOND SUBURBS AND ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO VIRGINIA BEACH. 
          SOMETIMES, UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT FIELD TRIPS. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE LIST THERE. 
          UH, ALL THE FIELD TRIPS INCLUDE HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES. 
          SO THE KIDS ACTUALLY GET TO DO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF JUST LISTENING TO PEOPLE OR WATCHING PEOPLE DO THINGS. 
          NEXT SLIDE, OUR SUMMER CAMPS. 
          UH, LAST YEAR WE OFFERED FIVE. 
          WE ACTUALLY HAVE EIGHT THAT WE CAN OFFER, BUT HERE'S THE FIVE WE OFFERED LAST YEAR. 
          WE'RE OFFERING THEM THIS YEAR. 
          THE CAMPS ARE TYPICALLY MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, UH, DAY CAMPS. 
          UH, SO THEY ARRIVE AT 9:00 AM AND LEAVE AT THREE, ALL CAMPS INCLUDE, AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE SAME BASIC STUFF IN THERE IN THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL TOPIC AREAS. 
          NEXT, WE DO SUPPORT A FEW ANNUAL EVENTS. 
          YOU CAN SEE THERE WITH AN H THE ONES THAT WE HOST AND ALSO WITH THE, UH, THE ONES THAT WE SUPPORT. 
          UH, SO SOME OF THOSE ARE STRICTLY COUNTY EVENTS. 
          OTHERS ARE STRICTLY OURS, AND SOME OF THEM ARE HYBRIDS. 
          THE POLAR PLUNGE, WE JUST FINISHED WITH THE ARCHIVE THIS WEEK. 
          UH, SO THEY WERE OUT THERE IN THE FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY FOLKS WERE OUT THERE AS THEIR LIFEGUARDS, UH, ABOUT 20 KIDS IN TWO SEPARATE 10 PERSON GROUPS HAD A GOOD TIME AND FROZEN THEIR BUNS OFF. 
          AND A NEW PIECE IS COMING IN THIS YEAR. 
          UH, YOUR COUNTY HISTORY DATE WILL BE ON APRIL 10TH, THAT WE'RE DOING THAT AS A TIMELINE EVENT. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE SOME CIVIL WAR ACTIVITIES, BUT ALSO REC AND REVOLUTION GOING ON UP BY YOUR CALL. 
          AND THE IDEA IS JUST TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE TIMELINE OF YORK COUNTY HISTORY, STARTING TO BUILD UP TOWARD THE ANNIVERSARY'S COMING UP IN 2024 AND 2025. 
          ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE PROGRAMS, VANS? OKAY. 
          NEXT. 
          OKAY. 
          OUR GALLERIES, UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE THE GALLERIES GET CHANGED OUT, AT LEAST ONE GALLERY EVERY YEAR, UH, OR AN OUTSIDE ACTIVITY GETS CHANGED OUT. 
          SO THIS IS A QUICK DOWN AND DIRTY LIST OF THE FOUR INDOOR GALLERIES AND THE OUTDOOR EXHIBITS, UH, NOTICE THAT THE, UH, THE BELOVED TOBACCO PRESS IS NOW DOWN HERE ON OUR PROPERTY. 
          UH, AND IT'S GETTING A LOT OF VISITORS. 
          WE'VE ALSO GOT A BLACKSMITH FORGE, AND WE'RE BUILDING SOME ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS, WHICH YOU'LL SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          I'M SORRY, EXHIBITS ON LOAN. 
          WE'VE GOT A BIG EXHIBIT THAT'S JUST FINISHED FINISHING UP AND WE'RE MOVING IN TOMORROW FROM THE, UH, THE TAB LIBRARY UP TO THE GLOUCESTER LIBRARY, IT'S CALLED BETA BELLY. 
          AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE FOOD WAYS OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY. 
          IN OTHER WORDS, THE, UH, THE SHAD, THE OYSTERS, THE CRABS, AND, UH, AND THE STRIPERS OR ROCKFISH AND THE CULTURE AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE GROWN UP BECAUSE OF THOSE. 
          SO IT'S A, IT'S A PRETTY NEAT EXHIBIT. 
          IT'S GOT, UH, ABOUT 15 DIFFERENT 16 PANELS TOTAL WITH INTERACTIVE SCREENS, ORAL HISTORIES, AND A LOT OF OTHER STUFF. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE US A PICTURE OF A LITTLE BIT OF IT DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN. 
          WE ALSO HAVE THE MARGARET TREVOR SCRIBERS BUCKEYE MODEL, WHICH IS ABOUT EIGHT FEET LONG, AND THAT'S ON LOAN TO THE GUINEA HERITAGE MUSEUM OVER IN BEENA, AND THEN HAYES STORE A'S GENERAL STORE MODEL, WHICH IS RIGHT OVER AT THE SPOT WHERE THE YOUNG LADY, UH, RODE THE BUS, UH, AGAINST, UH, SEGREGATION MANY YEARS AGO OVER IN HAYES. 
          AND THAT'S THE STORE WHERE SHE ACTUALLY GOT ON THE BUS. 
          UH, SO THAT'S AN ACE HARDWARE IN THEIR FRONT WINDOW. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          OTHER EXHIBITS, YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF EXHIBITS WITH OTHER FOLKS AROUND TOWN AND AROUND THE COUNTY AND OVER IN GLOUCESTER, AND YOU CAN SEE A SHORT LIST OF THOSE HERE, NEXT EXHIBITS AND WORK WE'RE WORKING ON BUILDING A BLACK WATERMAN EXHIBIT THAT WILL BE IN THE CENTER OF GALLERY ONE. 
          UH, SO IN ADDITION TO THE TIMELINE THAT GOES FROM PRE-COLONIAL TO MODERN TIMES AROUND THE ROOM, THIS'LL BE THE FOCAL POINT IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM, UH, HIGHLIGHTING THE, 
          [00:25:01]
THE, THE WATERMEN THAT HAVE BEEN OUT THERE DOING THE SAME JOB IS THERE AS THE OTHER FOLKS IN THE, IN THE, IN THE PROFESSION, BUT NOT REALLY GETTING A WHOLE LOT OF CREDIT FOR IT OVER THE, OVER THE CENTURIES. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THAT, BRING THAT BACK OUT THERE, FOREFRONT, UH, WE'LL ALSO BE DOING AN OYSTER AND TOOLS, UH, EXHIBIT OUT, BACK AT THE MUSEUM IN THE OPEN AREA INSIDE OF OUR ACCESSIBILITY RAMP. 
          THERE'S A PIT AREA THERE. 
          SO HAVE OYSTER TOMS AND OYSTERS AND FLOATS, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE TIDEWATER OYSTER GROWERS ASSOCIATION TO DO THAT. 
          WE'RE ALSO BUILDING WAR OF 18, 12, AND CIVIL WAR TABLETOP EXHIBITS THAT WE CAN TAKE OUT TO EVENTS. 
          AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVING BY HERE AND WONDERING WHAT ALL THE STICKS ARE, THEY'RE STANDING UP NEXT TO THE WINDMILL, WE'RE BUILDING FIVE OUTDOOR KIOSKS. 
          EACH ONE OF THEM IS AN EIGHT BY 10 SHED BUILDING WITH A, A FRONT PORCH ON IT. 
          AND THERE'LL BE A, THERE'LL BE CITED IN ARCHITECTURAL SHINGLED. 
          SO THEY'LL BLEND RIGHT IN WITH A COLONIAL LOOK OF THE VILLAGE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT TOPICS WE WILL USE IN EACH OF THOSE BUILDINGS TO TEACH FROM. 
          AND THE IDEA IS WE'LL HAVE A TRADE SET, SO WE CAN BRING IN THE VOLUNTEERS TO DEMONSTRATE ALL THE MARITIME TRADES FOR SPECIAL EVENTS, BUT ALSO BE ABLE TO BE LOTS OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING ONSITE. 
          AND IT GIVES US A WHOLE THEATRICAL SET TO DO ALL THE VIRTUAL THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO DEVELOP FURTHER PROGRAMS FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS, BUT, UH, GO THROUGH ALL THE BITS AND PIECES YOU'LL NEED TO BUILD A BOAT DURING THE COLONIAL PERIOD, DOWNTOWN WATERFRONT YORKTOWN, MOVING FURTHER DOWN THE LIST. 
          WE'VE GOT, UH, A COUPLE OF COLLEGE INTERNS THAT ARE WORKING WITH US. 
          UH, ONE OF THEM IS BUILDING A TOTAL COMPARISON AND METHODS COMPARISON, UH, BETWEEN COLONIAL, UH, SETTLERS AND TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SHELL, UH, ITEMS AND THE STEEL ITEMS AND, AND ALL THE OTHER DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF HOW YOU DID THE SAME JOB WITH TWO DIFFERENT CULTURAL WAYS OF DOING IT. 
          AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON BLACK COMBATANTS IN THE REVOLUTIONARY AND CIVIL WARS. 
          UH, THE BLACKS WERE OFFERED MANY, UH, OPPORTUNITIES ON BOTH SIDES, BOTH IN BOTH CONFLICTS. 
          UH, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE HIGHLIGHTING WHAT DID, AND WHAT DID NOT HAPPEN, UH, AS FAR AS PROMISES CAPTAIN PROMISES BROKEN AND ALL THAT. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND THE PENINSULA NATURALISTS, UH, MASTER NATURALISTS. 
          AND WE'RE GOING TO BE PLANTING NATIVE SHRUBS AND TREES AND PLANTS, UH, ALONG OUR RIVERWALK AREA, UH, OUT ON THE BEACH SIDE, UH, INSIDE OF OUR, UH, OUR MUSEUM PROPERTY AREA ON THE, ON THE ROAD SIDE, AND ALSO ALONG ALL OF OUR FENCES. 
          UH, AND THAT, THAT IS SO WE CAN TEACH EDUCATIONAL FOLKS, UH, TEACH KIDS AND ADULTS, UH, THE, THE BENEFITS OF PLANTING NATIVE THINGS THAT THE NATIVE BEES, BUTTERFLIES AND BIRDS ALL WILL, WILL BENEFIT FROM AS OPPOSED TO PLANTING THINGS THAT ARE NOT INDIGENOUS NEXT SLIDE PARTNERS. 
          PRETTY GOOD LIST. 
          I WILL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE LAST TWO THAT ARE IMPORTANT. 
          NEXT SLIDE COMMITTEES. 
          WE'RE ON QUITE A FEW COMMITTEES. 
          UH, WE TRY TO GET INVOLVED WITH EVERYTHING. 
          UH, WE WORK VERY, VERY CLOSELY WITH ALL THE TOURISM AND THE MUSEUM FOLKS IN THE AREA, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO YORKTOWN EVENTS, PLANNING, UH, CIVIL WAR REV, WAR ISSUES, UH, CELEBRATE YOUR TOWN COMMITTEE, TALL SHIP COMMITTEE, WHICH WE'RE MEMBERS OF A MARITIME HERITAGE SANCTUARY, UH, AND, UH, THE YORKTOWN COMMEMORATION COMMITTEE, WHICH IS JUST NOW FORMING. 
          AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. 
          MIKE, YOU WANNA GO? YES. 
          THE IDEA IS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE LOCAL MUSEUMS FOR SHORT RANGE PLANNING FOR EVENTS THE PAST FIVE, SIX YEARS. 
          WE MEET ONCE A MONTH AND PLAN TOWN-WIDE EVENTS. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S THE COUNTY, SO WE CAN DO COOPERATIVE PROMOTIONS AND COOPERATIVE EVENT, UH, LOGISTICS, WHAT WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER. 
          NOW WE'RE WORKING FOR ME COMMITTEE TO DO LONG RANGE PLANNING, DO SOME OF THE SAME, SAME TIME FOLKS, BUT, UH, WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE TOURISM DEPARTMENT AND THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND ALL THE MUSEUMS, AS WELL AS THE BATTLEFIELD TRUST. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT, TRYING TO PLAN FOR THE ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP THE BIG ANNIVERSARY START IN 2024 WITH THE TEA PARTY. 
          THEN 20, 25 IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF DONE MORE COMING TO YORKTOWN OR AFTER HE TAKES ALL THE GUNPOWDER FROM WILLIAMSBURG 2026, THAT'S THE BIG ANNIVERSARY FOR THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 
          AND THAT'LL BE A BIG FOCUS FOR THE STATE AND FEDERAL IN 2026. 
          NO ONE ELSE IS REALLY PLANNING THE OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT A YORKTOWN CAN HANG HIS HAT ON THERE. 
          OF COURSE, NO ONE'S EVEN TALKING ABOUT 2031 YETS, WHICH IS THE BIG BIG YEAR. 
          SO WE'RE JUST START PUTTING OUR HEADS TOGETHER WITH THE PROFESSIONALS AND CONCERNED FOLKS AND START TO DO SOME WITH LONG RANGE PLANNING TO MAKE SURE YORKTOWN DOES WELL WITH THEIR EVENTS, BUT ALSO MAKE SURE WE'RE REPRESENTED 
          [00:30:01]
TO THE STATE COMMISSION, THE FEDERAL COMMISSION TOO. 
          SO IT WILL BE A LOT MORE COMING UP ON THAT AS WE GET CLOSER TO ACTIVITIES AND WE WILL KEEP THE BOARD WELL-INFORMED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, TRYING TO DO WITH THE EVENTS THAT INCLUDES BRINGING TOPICS FOR THE BIG ACTIVITIES, THEN BRINGING IN, UH, INVOLVING THE OTHER MUSEUMS AND, AND ALL THE LOCAL COMMITTEES AND, AND SPECIAL GROUPS. 
          SO THAT WAY IT BRINGS REPRESENTED. 
          AND WE CAN, WE CAN GO OUT AND DO IT PROPERLY. 
          THIS WILL ALSO YOU'LL SEE, NOT ONLY THE ACTIVITIES WHAT'S COMING UP, BUT YOU'LL ALSO SEE IN FRONT OF THAT QUITE OFTEN, UH, THERE WILL BE SOME BUDGETARY DISCUSSIONS ON WHAT WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT THOSE ACTIVITIES. 
          SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO GET THINGS LAID OUT NOW AND THOUGHT ABOUT, RATHER THAN TRYING TO REACT TO SOMETHING WHEN YOU'RE ALREADY PAST YOUR BUDGET REVIEWS AND THEN DISCUSSIONS, NEXT SLIDE CHALLENGES. 
          NUMBER ONE, FOR ALL OF US VOLUNTEER AVAILABILITY. 
          UH, THE THIRD ONE IS PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST, UH, CHALLENGE HAS BEEN, UH, WE, WE DO A LOT OF EDUCATION PROGRAMS, A LOT OF THINGS HERE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE OUTDOOR PUBLIC BATHROOMS. SO, UH, EVERY TIME WE'VE, UH, WE'VE WE TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          UH, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TACKLE IT BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A BIG CHUNK. 
          SO ANY HELP YOU GUYS CAN GIVE US IN THAT DIRECTION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. 
          YOU SAY A BIG CHUNK, HOW MUCH TALKING ABOUT IT'S PROBABLY 75,000 JUST TO PUT UP, UH, THREE STALLS AT, FOR MALE AND FEMALE OUTDOORS. 
          YEAH, WE WOULD IDEALLY WE'D HAVE TO ATTACH THEM TO THE, TO THE STREET SIDE OF OUR CARRIAGE HOUSE, WHICH IS THE BACKSIDE OF THAT BUILDING AND TIE RIGHT INTO ITS EXISTING WATER, POWER AND SEWER. 
          UH, SO IT'D BE A FAIRLY EASY CONNECTION TO DO, UH, BUT IT WOULD DEFINITELY, IT WOULD HELP EVERYBODY BECAUSE SO OFTEN WE GET FOLKS THAT ARE VISITING TOWN AND THEY'RE UP AT OUR END AND THERE'S NO RESTROOMS UP AT THIS END AND WE JUST GET SUPPORTED WITH A SINGLE RESTROOM IN THE KAREN'S HOUSE AND ONE OF THE, IN A MUSEUM. 
          SO WE OFTENTIMES HAVE TO SAVE PEOPLE, GET OUT OF THEIR PARKING GARAGE OR GO DOWN TO THE REST AREAS DOWN BY THE FREIGHT SHED, WHICH WE HATE DOING, BUT WE DON'T REALLY DON'T HAVE AN OPTION. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IF YOU, UH, IF YOU WOULD LIKE WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT POSSIBLY THE STRIP OF LAND BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND OUR BIG PARKING LOT, WHICH COULD FEASIBLY BECOME A THIRD PUBLIC RESTROOM OPTION THAT WOULD BE RUN BY THE COUNTY? UH, IT COULD BE IT EITHER WAY. 
          I'M SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          CONTINUE ON. 
          OKAY. 
          NEXT AND, UH, UPCOMING ANNIVERSARY STARTING IN 2024, UH, IDEAS CAN PULL TOGETHER A COMMITTEE AND START GETTING SOME REALISTIC FIGURES ON HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST TO BRING TALL SHIPS IN AND HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST FOR FIREWORKS, PARADES AND SUCH, LOOKING AT WAYS TO RAISE THE MONEY FOR THAT OTHER THROUGH, THROUGH, THROUGH CORPORATE OR GRANTS. 
          BUT, UH, ALL THESE THINGS TAKE AT BE PLANNED OUT YEARS IN ADVANCE, AND MANY OF THE GRANTS HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED TWO TO THREE YEARS IN ADVANCE. 
          THEN IF YOU WANT TO GET AN ACTUAL TALL SHIP IN HERE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE YEARS ADVANCED PLANNING TO BRING A SHIP IN. 
          SO THINGS THAT WE'RE ALL WORKING TOGETHER ON ALL GOING TOWARD THE SAME PLACE, BUT WE NEED TO ACTUALLY GET SOME, SOME FIGURES DOWN SO WE CAN START DOING LONG RANGE PLANNING INSTEAD OF REACTING TO IT AND OR PLANNING FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. 
          SO I'M PULLING TOGETHER ALL THE PROFESSIONALS AND ALL THE GOOD BRAINS IN THE SAME PLACE AND, AND FIGURE IT OUT. 
          AND WE'VE MET WITH MS. GOLDMAN, UH, MONDAY AND TALK OVER VERY MANY OF THE SAME ITEMS. AND SHE'S, SHE'S AGREED AS A HUNDRED PERCENT WITH HER FOLKS SUPPORTING THIS. 
          SO THAT IS, WE GET YOURSELF LINED UP AND ORGANIZED SOME OF THE STATE ANALYSIS, THEIR FUNDING AND GRANTS FOR THEIR 20, 26 INITIATIVE. 
          WE'LL BE READY TO RECEIVE THEM. 
          NOW WITH THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE OPENS UP THEIR, THEIR COFFERS FOR THEIR BIG GRANTS THAT THERE'LL BE AWARDING FOR 2026. 
          WE'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO DO TO WORK WITH THEM ON THAT, BUT IT TAKES, IT TAKES PLANNING. 
          IT TAKES, THOUGHT, NEXT SLIDE WE'RE DONE TODAY. 
          YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE WATER? NO, NOT NOW. 
          UH, NOT A QUESTION, BUT JUST A COMMENT. 
          KEEP IN MIND THE COUNTY VERY ELONGATED THAT IS THAT WE HAVE THREE LIBRARIES IN THIS COUNTY AND HAVE ONE, AND I WAS IMPRESSED BY A PART OF YOUR PROGRAM, THE DISPLAY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO DOWN AT THE TAB LIBRARY. 
          WELL REMEMBER WE GOT ONE AT YORKTOWN AND WE HAVE ONE UP HERE IN WILLIAMSBURG WAS PEOPLE WHO LIVED DOWN IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY. 
          UH, TH THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT YOUR CALENDAR HAS ANY MORE ROOM TO SOMETHING ELSE, BUT JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT. 
          I THOUGHT THE BRIEFING 
          [00:35:01]
WAS GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WE WILL DEFINITELY ADDRESS IT WITH THOSE WHEN IT COMES OUT OF THE GLOUCESTER LIBRARY, BUT MS. NO, GO AHEAD. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THAT'S A REALLY AMBITIOUS PROGRAMS. DO YOU HAVE SET UP THERE AND YOU'VE COME A LONG, LONG WAY FROM THE FIRST TIME THAT I WAS PART OF THE WATERMAN'S MUSEUM. 
          SO I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          AND YOU'VE GOT DREAMS. YOU GOT A WAY OF DOING IT, AND THAT'S, THAT'S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, I THINK, ESPECIALLY I LIKE IDEA FOR THE FUTURE. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORTS THAT YOU'VE BEEN PUTTING IN. 
          AND OF COURSE YOU GOT TO COME BACK TO THE MORE I KNOW, AND I THINK AS TOM SAID, YOU'RE DOING IN A BATHROOM DOWN THERE. 
          I'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, THERE ISN'T ANY PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO GO TO THE SMALL ONE THAT YOU HAVE UPSTAIRS, AND THAT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. 
          SO WE'LL KEEP IT. 
          I'LL KEEP IT IN MIND. 
          ANYWAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THIS THOUGH. 
          IT WAS BARONE. 
          YEAH. 
          THE SLIDE DECK BACK UP, PLEASE. 
          AND GO TO PAGE TWO OR THREE SOMETHING I SAW REAL QUICK BEFORE WE SWITCHED. 
          I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO COMMENT ON IT. 
          UM, I DIDN'T SEE ANY, ANY DAY CAMPS FOR 50 TO 55 YEAR OLDS. 
          SO I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO SETTLE WITH THE TOUR OF THE MUSEUM, BUT, UH, UH, YEAH, THIS SLIDE HERE. 
          SO I NOTICED THE, UH, ATTENDANCE WAS DOWN BY 35% OR 35% OF NORMAL ATTENDANCE. 
          IT WAS DOWN DOWN BY 35%. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT YOUR INCOME WAS DOWN 75%. 
          SO THAT TELLS ME YOU GET A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF, UH, FUNDING OR INCOME FROM EVENTS THAT YOU HOST. 
          YES. 
          THERE ARE FUNDRAISERS ARE VERY BIG PART OF INCOME. 
          SO OUR SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND WE HAD TO CANCEL ALL OF THOSE. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S ALL RIGHT. 
          THAT'S ALL RIGHT. 
          THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. 
          AND THE BLACKSMITHS FLOORS, YOU MENTIONED IT, IS THAT GOING TO BE A WORK IN FORGE? YES, IT IS. 
          NO WORRIES. 
          I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND TOO. 
          I MAY COME DOWN AND MAYBE JUST MAYBE SWING A HAMMER WITH YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT SOUNDS GREAT IS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF BLACKSMITHS OUT IN THE GUILD AND AROUND THE AREA OR PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH WOOLEN. 
          PEOPLE WORK WITH CANVAS AND WHATNOT. 
          IF YOU SET UP THE LOCATION FOR THE FORGE IN PLACE, THEN THE BLACKSMITHS CAN COME IN AND USE THE FORGE AND DEMONSTRATE FOR THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS MAYBE MAKING STUFF WITH THEM. 
          SO WE'VE ALREADY GOT FIVE OF THEM THAT COME DOWN HERE ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
          THAT'S AWESOME. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THEY DID. 
          THEY BRING THEIR HORSES? YEAH, NO, WE HAVEN'T TACKLED THAT PROBLEM IN THE CLEANUP YET, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE KIND OF COOL, YOU KNOW, KIDS. 
          OH, HORSES. 
          YEAH. 
          I GET A FURRIER DOWN HERE.

          SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU WITH THAT. 
          WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO THE DEPUTY 
          [C Introduction to Social Services Director. Introduction of Margaret Mack-Yaroch, new Director of Social Services and presentation.]
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, MS. MCGUIGAN. 
          AND IF YOU WOULD TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR NEW SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR, GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          I'M PLEASED THIS EVENING TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR NEW SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR, MARGARET MAC EERO, BUT FIRST NEIL AND I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE ON OUR SOCIAL SERVICES INITIATIVE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. 
          SO BY WAY OF JUST SOME QUICK BRIEF HISTORY IN 1975, WHEN THE KOSEN SPLIT OFF OF YOUR, THERE WERE SOME SHARED SERVICES, UM, MOST OF WHICH THE COUNTY PROVIDES AND BECAUSE OF REIMBURSES US. 
          AND SO, UM, SINCE THAT AGREEMENT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1975, ABOUT 40 YEARS PASSED WHERE EFFECTIVELY, UM, THE AGREEMENT REMAINED ON TOUCH TOO. 
          HADN'T BEEN LOOKED AT OVER ALL OF THOSE YEARS. 
          PROCESSES DEVELOPED AND OVERTIME, THE SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT BECAME MORE AND MORE INDEPENDENT OF THE COUNTY. 
          SO IN 2017, WE FIRST LOOKED 
          [00:40:01]
AT THE SOCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT ITSELF, AND WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL. 
          WE WORKED WITH THE CITY OF  AND IN LOOKING AT THAT, WE STARTED BY LOOKING AT THE COURTS PROCESS AND THE SHERIFF'S OPERATIONS FOR THEIR PROCESSING. 
          WE HAD A GOOD PROCESS IN PLACE FOR DIRECT COSTS, BUT WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT LOOKED AT SOME OF THE OVERHEAD THAT THE COUNTY WAS PROVIDING TOO, BECAUSE, AND SO PART OF WHAT WAS NEGOTIATED IN THAT WAS THEY NOW PASS THE 6% ADMIN FEE, WHICH COVERS OUR PROCESSING OF THEIR PAYROLL AND, UM, FINANCE, AND IT, RATHER THAN MAKING IT A COMPLICATED COST ACCOUNTING MEASURE, WE SIMPLY PUT THAT PERCENTAGE IN. 
          AND IT ALSO, IT HAD BEEN SET BACK IN 1975 TO THE CENSUS DATA FROM THE 1970S. 
          SO WE ROLLED THAT THAT FORWARD, SO THAT AS POPULATIONS CHANGED, IT WOULD BE TIED MORE CLOSELY TO THE REALITY GOING FORWARD. 
          THEN IN 2018, IN JANUARY, 2018, NEIL ASKED YOU THE BOARD TO ADD ME TO THE SOCIAL SERVICES BOARD, UM, AS THE, AS THE DEPUTY COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, SO THAT THERE WOULD BE, UM, A CONNECTION TO THAT CITIZENS, UH, SOCIAL SERVICES BOARD, AND OVER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, UM, WE LOOKED AT THOSE PROGRAMS, WE GOT MORE AND MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROGRAMS. AND THEN IN SEPTEMBER, 2019, UM, NEIL CAME TO THE BOARD WITH, UH, WITH A PROPOSAL, WHICH YOU ALL DID APPROVE, WHICH BASICALLY DID A COUPLE OF THINGS. 
          WE HAD HAD A LONG STANDING CITIZEN ADVISORY BOARD. 
          UM, THEY MADE A LOT OF DECISIONS AS IT RELATED TO BUDGET AND COMPENSATION ISSUES. 
          AND SO WE ASKED THE BOARD TO MOVE THAT TO AN ADVISORY BOARD SO THAT THOSE CITIZEN MEMBERS WHO WERE VERY, VERY ENGAGED, COULD FOCUS ON THE SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS AND BEING ADVOCATES, UM, FOR THOSE SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS. AND THEN AS PART OF THAT SAME ACTION, IT CREATED A NEW ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD, WHICH IS THE TWO CAOS, THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND THE CITY MANAGER. 
          UM, AND WITH THAT, IT WAS THOSE THAT WAS TO BRING SOME BETTER OVERSIGHT AS WELL AS TO IMPROVE SOME EFFICIENCIES BECAUSE OVER TIME SOCIAL SERVICES PROCESSES HAD DEVIATED FROM THE COUNTY AND TO BE MORE EFFICIENT AS A GOVERNMENT, IT MADE A LOT OF SENSE TO DO THAT. 
          AND SINCE THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD LOOKS AT BUDGET AND COMPENSATION ISSUES, HAVING THE TWO CAOS WHO KNOW BEST WHAT THEIR ENVIRONMENTS ARE MADE A LOT OF SENSE, IT HAS MADE A LOT OF SENSE ALSO ALONG THAT, SO THAT SAME TIMEFRAME A MONTH LATER, THE NEW SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR AT THE TIME, RICK , WHO IS THE ASSISTANT CAME IN AND HE BECAME, UM, THE NEW DIRECTOR AT THAT POINT. 
          AND WE KNEW WHEN RICK HAD, HAD STARTED THAT HE ONLY WANTED TO STAY ABOUT TWO YEARS. 
          HE HAS 44, 45 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WHEN HE RETIRED IN DECEMBER. 
          AND WITH THAT, WE ASKED HIM TO LOOK AT THE HARDEST ISSUE WE HAD, WHICH WAS ALIGNING THE SOCIAL SERVICES, COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, AND POLICIES WITH THE COUNTY. 
          AND IT WASN'T AS EASY AS SAYING HERE'S THE COUNTY'S PROGRAM. 
          NOW IT'S THE SOCIAL SERVICES ONE BECAUSE OF THE STATE'S INVOLVEMENT. 
          SO WE BASICALLY HAVE COUNTY COMPENSATION POLICIES AND BENEFITS. 
          WE HAVE THE LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICES ONE, AND THEN WE HAVE THE STATE. 
          SO THERE WAS A PROCESS THAT INVOLVED A TEAM WHICH INCLUDED, UM, UH, RICK HAS SOCIAL SERVICES. 
          UH, DAVE GORE WAS OUR FORMER HR DIRECTOR WHO RETIRED RECENTLY, UM, BECAUSE OF ALL THE HR BENEFITS AND THEN AMAZ AS PART OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATION WHERE WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND LOOKED AT EVERY SINGLE BENEFIT WE ALIGNED IT. 
          AND AS WE GOT TO VARIOUS DECISIONS, WE WOULD BRING THAT BACK TO THE NEW ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD. 
          UM, AND THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND THE CITY MANAGER WOULD LOOK AT THOSE CHANGES, MOVE IT FORWARD SO THAT WE COULD GET APPROVAL FROM THE STATE. 
          IN, IN MANY CASES, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ITEM THAT WE HAD. 
          AND THE HARDEST ONE TO ADDRESS WAS THAT SOCIAL SERVICES EMPLOYEES WORKED AT 37 AND A HALF HOUR WEEK, BUT COUNTY EMPLOYEES HAD WORKED A 40 HOUR WORK WEEK FOR MANY DECADES. 
          THE STATE ALSO HAD CONVERTED TO A 40 HOUR WORK WEEK, WELL OVER A DECADE AGO, BUT SOCIAL SERVICES EMPLOYEES WERE AT 37 AND A HALF HOURS. 
          SO, UM, AFTER SOME WORK ON THAT PIECE, UM, YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT ON JANUARY ONE, SOCIAL SERVICES, EMPLOYEES NOW ARE ALIGNED AND THEY WORK A 40 HOUR WORK WEEK. 
          AND SO THAT HELPED IN A LOT OF OUR, UM, CALCULATIONS AS WELL, AND DEFINITELY HELPED PAYROLL BECAUSE OF THAT WHOLE OVERTIME, UM, ISSUES AND HOW THEY'RE CALCULATED. 
          SO, UM, WITH RICK'S RETIREMENT IN DECEMBER OF 2020, IT WAS THE PERFECT TIME TO BRING IN, GET A FRESH NEW START IN A FRESH NEW LOOK TO THE FUTURE. 
          AND SO IN A FORCE COMES, UM, MARGARET AND WE WERE SO PLEASED WHEN MARGARET ACCEPTED THE POSITION. 
          SHE ARRIVED IN MID DECEMBER, WHICH GAVE HER A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH RICK TO KIND OF GET ACCLIMATED, UM, BEFORE HE LEFT. 
          AND SHE HAS DEFINITELY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. 
          UM, MARGARET IS A HUMAN SERVICES, PROFESSIONAL EXECUTIVE WHO'S EXCELLED IN THE PUBLIC PRIVATE STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS FOR THE PAST 28 YEARS AFTER SPENDING THE LAST FIVE YEARS, WORKING FOR THE STATE IN TRANSITIONING THE LAST STATE TRAINING CENTER FROM INSTITUTIONALIZED PROGRAMMING TO COMMUNITY-BASED CARE. 
          SHE JOINS US AS OUR NEW SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR. 
          MARGARET HAS BEEN A PIONEER IN HER CAREER 
          [00:45:01]
WITH IMPLEMENTING CHANGE MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES ACROSS THREE DIFFERENT STATES. 
          AND BY THE WAY, AS WE WERE INTERVIEWING BOTH IN THE FIRST GROUP AND IN THE SECOND THAT CHANGE MANAGEMENT CAME UP A LOT, BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN A LOT OF OUR EMPHASIS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. 
          SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF HER INITIATIVES INCLUDE DEVELOPING EARLY CHILDHOOD INCLUSION CARE PROGRAMMING IN SCHOOL, INTENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SERVICES, IMPLEMENTATION OF PERSON CENTERED SERVICE AND DELIVERY, WORKFORCE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. 
          AND IN-HOME BASED CARE. 
          HER FOCUS HAS BEEN ON ADVOCATING FOR THOSE IN NEED AT ALL STAGES OF LIFE AND IMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY. 
          BASED ON THOSE NEEDS, MARGARET HOLDS A BACHELOR'S OF SCIENCE AND EDUCATION IN INTERVENTION AND SPECIAL EDUCATION FROM KENT STATE UNIVERSITY. 
          SHE ALSO HAS A LONG LIST OF EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO MENTION JUST A COUPLE OF THOSE. 
          SHE HAS A MASTER'S LEVEL DEGREE FROM VIRGINIA PUBLIC SECTORS LEADERS FOR EXCELLENCE FOR VIRGINIA TECH, WHICH INCLUDED SEVERAL DIFFERENT, UM, PROGRAMS UNDER THAT CAPTION. 
          I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK CLOSELY WITH MARGARET OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. 
          AND I'VE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH HER MANAGEMENT INSIGHTS AS SHE'S HAD TO ADDRESS A WHOLE VARIETY OF TOPICS. 
          AND SO I'M ALWAYS VERY PLEASED WHEN SHE COMES AND WE TALK ABOUT WHAT THE SITUATION IS, AND THEN SHE DESCRIBES WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE IT BETTER. 
          AND IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THAT SHE HAS A STRONG FOUNDATION IN PILOT POLICY DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE EMPHASIS IS ON THAT QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE, ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT WHO ARE THE PEOPLE WE'RE TRYING TO SERVE AND HOW CAN WE BEST DO THAT. 
          UM, I'VE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE HER TO THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND OTHER STAFF, AND WE ALL THINK SHE'S A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR TEAM. 
          AND WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HER AS AGAIN, WE MOVED TOWARD MAKING SOCIAL SERVICES, EMBRACING THEM CLOSE MORE CLOSELY AS A DEPARTMENT OF THE COUNTY. 
          SO I THINK I WILL NOW TURN IT OVER TO MARGARET UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. BEGIN AGAIN? NO. 
          OKAY. 
          MARGARET, THE FLOOR IS YOURS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS. 
          IT'S A REAL PLEASURE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING, UH, JUST TO GET TO MEET YOU IN GENERAL AND ALSO TO SORT OF GIVE A PRESENTATION, A BRIEF PRESENTATION OF SOCIAL SERVICES, UM, THE SYSTEM HERE AS IT RUNS FOR THE STATE, AS WELL AS FOR YOUR COUNTY, UM, FOR THE INTERVIEW. 
          SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO SHARE MY SCREEN. 
          I CAN NOW DO A PRESENTATION. 
          HOPEFULLY THAT'S WORKING. 
          OKAY. 
          CAN EVERYBODY SEE THE SCREEN? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, SO AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SOCIAL SERVICES SYSTEM, UM, FIRST LET'S START WITH THE STATE SOCIAL SERVICES SYSTEM. 
          THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES SYSTEM IS A STATE SUPERVISE AND LOCALLY ADMINISTERED SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEM. 
          BASICALLY WE PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND GUIDANCE TO OVER 120 LOCALITIES ACROSS THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. 
          UM, AND THE GOAL IS TO PROMOTE THE WELLBEING OF OUR CITIZENS THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND BENEFITS TO ENSURE THAT FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS RITCHIE ACHIEVE THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND BENEFITS AND CARE THAT THEY NEED MORE SPECIFIC TO YOUR COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES. 
          WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ADMINISTERING A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS. SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS INCLUDE TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES. 
          YOU MIGHT ALSO HEAR THAT REFERRED TO AS TANIF SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, WHICH IS REFERRED TO AS SNAP MEDICAID FOR APPLICATION FOR, UH, EDUCATOR, EXCUSE ME, FOR MEDICAL SERVICES, ADOPTION, CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE, AND CHILD AND ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES. 
          WE ALSO HAVE THE VIRGINIA INITIATIVE FOR EMPLOYMENT, NOT WELFARE, UM, AND THAT'S TRYING TO PROMOTE SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND GETTING PEOPLE EDUCATED AND TRAINED SO THAT THEY CAN RETURN TO THE WORKFORCE. 
          SELF-SUFFICIENCY IS THE GOAL FOR YOUR COUNTY AS IT IS FOR THE STATE SYSTEM. 
          OVERALL, I'D ALSO LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT MARCH IS SOCIAL WORK MONTH AND YORK BECAUSE, AND SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS HELPING CELEBRATE THIS YEAR'S SOCIAL WORK THEME, WHICH IS ALL SOCIAL WORK. 
          EMPLOYEES ARE ESSENTIAL TO HIGHLIGHT THE INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTION SOCIAL WORK EMPLOYEES MAKE IN OUR COUNTY, ESPECIALLY AS THE COUNTY OF YORK ADDRESSES THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC BELOW, I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. OUR DEPARTMENT HAS HELPED DURING THE PANDEMIC. 
          AND WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT A PROCLAMATION PROCLAMATION FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO APPROVE STARTING WITH OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANT PROGRAMS. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT CURRENTLY IN THE CURRENT YEAR, 2020 FOR YOUR COUNTY AND PAGOSA AND COMBINED, WE HELPED OVER 10,083 FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS GET MEDICAID APPLICATIONS, 
          [00:50:01]
SNAP, AND TANA FOR FUNDING. 
          THAT'S PRETTY ESSENTIAL. 
          YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS, WE HAVE A STEADY CLIMB. 
          WE ALSO EXPECT FOR THE, ALSO FOR THE CURRENT YEAR OF 2021 TO SEE EVEN EVEN FURTHER INCREASE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE JUST NOW STARTING TO RETURN TO THE WORKFORCE PROTECTIVE SERVICES, INVESTIGATIONS OF ABUSE, NEGLECT, AND EXPLOITATION, OLDER AND INCAPACITATED ADULTS. 
          WE SAW IN THE CURRENT YEAR, 2020, 161 REPORTS THAT WERE RECEIVED, UM, ALONG WITH 29 FOR PECOS AND FOR A TOTAL OF 190 CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ALSO HAD A COMBINED FOR THE CURRENT YEAR FOR 2020 OF 285. 
          ON APRIL 2ND, WE WILL BE COLLABORATING WITH MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS TO PROMOTE AND EDUCATE ON CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION. 
          WE RESPECTFULLY WOULD LIKE TO SEND AN INVITATION TO THE BOARD TO ATTEND OUR PINWHEEL SOME CEREMONY THAT WE WILL BE HAVING ON APRIL 2ND. 
          AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION. 
          DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THE SNOW, ANY QUESTIONS, JUST SAY WELCOME ABOARD. 
          WE'RE DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU MEET ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT ARE AHEAD OF YOU VERY WELL. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT MR. RAMBO, OR YOU DIDN'T TELL US TOO MUCH ABOUT YOURSELF. 
          YOU TOLD US ABOUT WHAT HER PROGRAM IS AND WHAT YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE, BUT JUST GIVE US A TWO MINUTE CLIP IN TERMS OF THE FAMILY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO I, I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN, UH, TWO CURRENTLY STILL AT HOME. 
          UM, I HAVE ONE GRANDCHILD HE'S FOUR YEARS OLD. 
          HE SPENDS HIS BLUE WEEKENDS WITH ME, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT, UM, TO WHERE MY CHILDREN, WE ARE CURRENTLY RELOCATING TO YOUR COUNTY. 
          WE ACTUALLY, WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING TO RELOCATE COURT YOUR COUNTY WHEN THIS OPPORTUNITY CAME AVAILABLE AND WE WERE APPLYING. 
          SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, THE TWO CHILDREN THAT I HAVE AT HOME ONE IS A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SHE'S 17 YEARS OLD. 
          UM, SHE'S CURRENTLY IN THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM AT VIRGINIA BEACH. 
          SO IT'S A VERY NICE FIT THAT YOUR COUNTY ALSO HAS JUST AS EQUIVALENT, IF NOT, SOME WOULD ARGUE BETTER OF A PROGRAM. 
          UM, I ALSO HAVE AN EIGHT YEAR OLD SON WHO'S IN THIRD GRADE. 
          UM, AND SO HE'LL BE GOING INTO THE FOURTH GRADE FOR NEXT YEAR, UH, EAGERLY HOUSE HUNTING AND LOOKING FOR PLACES TO LIVE ON MY WEEKENDS. 
          UM, FAVORITE PASS TIMES, I THINK RIGHT NOW IT'S GETTING TO KNOW MORE AND MORE ABOUT THE COUNTY AND DOING A LITTLE BIT OF HOUSE HUNTING. 
          UH, I HAVE WORKED IN HUMAN SERVICES FOR THE LAST 28 YEARS, AS VIVIAN HAD MENTIONED, THE THREE STATES THAT I'VE WORKED IN IS CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. 
          I'VE ALSO BEEN IN OHIO AND DIFFERENT, UH, LOCALITIES THROUGHOUT THEIR, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAMILIAR CLEVELAND, SOLON, UM, SHAKER HEIGHTS, SUGAR, AND FALLS. 
          FEW OF THE AREAS JUST TO MENTION ALSO SOMETIME OUTSIDE OF AKRON IN THE COLUMBUS AREA. 
          AND THEN HERE IN VIRGINIA, MOST OF MY TIME HAS BEEN SPENT, UM, PREVIOUSLY IN VIRGINIA BEACH. 
          AND I DO COME FROM WORKING FOR THE STATE, UM, IN CHESAPEAKE, VIRGINIA, UH, FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA TRAINING CENTER. 
          AND THAT WAS THE LAST TRAINING CENTER THAT REMAINED OPEN ACROSS THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. 
          SO WE LITERALLY ENDED UP ABSORBING ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT CHOSE NOT TO HAVE PLACEMENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND IT WAS A, A REVITALIZATION OF WHAT THAT PROGRAMMING WAS AND THAT WE BASICALLY TURNED, WHAT WAS INSTITUTION, MORE HOSPITAL LIKE SETTINGS INTO AN ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOOD? UM, 15 HOMES, FIVE BEDROOM HOMES, ABOUT 5,000 SQUARE FEET HAD A TOTAL OF 78 RESIDENTS. 
          UM, AS WELL AS DAY SUPPORT PROGRAMS WE HAD ONSITE AND OFFSITE WORK DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, UM, FOR PEOPLE TO GET PLACED BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY HIGH EMPHASIS ON TRAINING, CERTAINLY WORKING WITH MEDICAL STAFF, NURSING PHARMACY. 
          THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF MY BACKGROUND AND OBVIOUSLY SOCIAL SERVICES, WHICH I ALSO OVERSEE WHILE I WAS THERE. 
          SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME. 
          I'VE BEEN A ADVOCATE ALSO FOR CHILDREN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS WITHIN THE COURT SYSTEMS WITHIN THREE STATES. 
          UM, EDUCATION HAS BEEN A FOCUS. 
          I AM A LICENSED SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER ALL THE WAY BACK TO MY YOUNG AGE FOR TRADE, EVEN THOUGH I'M CURRENTLY NOT TEACHING. 
          UM, AND I DEFINITELY BELIEVE IN ADVOCATING FOR ALL AREAS OF LIFE, WHERE ANYBODY HAS NEEDS AND DEVELOPING PROGRAMS THAT CAN SUPPORT THEM, WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR FREE TIME. 
          I DO ENJOY COOKING. 
          SO IF I, IF I WERE TO GIVE YOU A SIDE, I ACTUALLY DO HAVE, DESPITE WORKING IN HUMAN SERVICES, I HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT FORMALLY TRAINED ON THE SIDE IN THE RESTAURANT 
          [00:55:01]
BUSINESS TO DO SOME WORK. 
          THE HIGHEST LEVEL I EVER GOT WAS SOUS CHEF. 
          SO I REALLY DON'T PROMOTE THAT TOO OFTEN, BUT ENOUGH THAT I COULD DEFINITELY PUT A MEAL ON THE TABLE. 
          MR. RON, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. 
          I THINK LAST TIME WE SPOKE, YOU WERE PREPARING TO STEP INTO A PAIR OF VERY BIG SHOES, UH, RIGHT THERE IN MID DECEMBER. 
          NOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, IT GETS SETTLED. 
          WHAT DO YOU SEE IS GOING TO BE YOUR NUMBER ONE CHALLENGE FOR 2021 THAT YOU NEED TO TACKLE? GREAT QUESTION. 
          UM, THERE'S MANY INITIATIVES ACROSS THE STATE THAT ARE GOING TO AFFECT SOCIAL SURFACE SYSTEM DELIVERY. 
          UM, SOME OF THEM ARE VERY NEW. 
          UH, THE FOCUS FOR SOCIAL SURFACE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE, FOR THE STATE OF VIRGINIA IS MOVING AWAY FROM BEING RESPONSIVE TO BEING PREVENTATIVE. 
          AND SO A LOT OF THAT IS GOING TO DETERMINE HOW IT IS THAT WE PROVIDE CASES. 
          UM, OFTEN IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE RESPOND SUCH AS WHEN WE RECEIVE REPORTS, WHERE IT BE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES OR ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES. 
          UM, AS WELL AS FOSTER FOSTER CHILDREN ARE A HIGH PRIORITY FOR US, FOR IE, YOU KNOW, YOU AND I, MR. ROME, WHEN YOU WERE HERE, WE SPOKE A LOT ABOUT THAT, UM, AND FINDING PROGRAMS FOR THEM, WHAT WE'RE NOW TRYING TO SHIFT THE FOCUS FOR THE STATE AS A WHOLE. 
          AND CERTAINLY AS AN AGENCY IS WHAT CAN WE DO TO WRAP AROUND SUPPORTS TO PREVENT IT FROM EVER EVEN GETTING THERE? A LOT OF THAT TIES IN WITH THE SCHOOL EDUCATION, WHICH ALSO IS CERTAIN CHANGES THAT ARE HAPPENING AMONGST THE STATE CHILDCARE IS MOVING MORE TO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. 
          THAT'S CERTAINLY A BIG CHANGE IN THE FORMAT, AS WELL AS WORKING WITH FAB AND CPM T TEAMS. UM, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT SERVICES CAN WE OFFER BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS NOT TO REMOVE CHILDREN FROM THEIR FAMILIES, BUT IT'S TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY AS A WHOLE AND TO DO BETTER EDUCATION AND TRAINING AND SERVICES OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT ENTER INTO THE SYSTEM. 
          THE EARLIER YOU CAN ENTER IN TO PREVENT THE LESS MONEY THAT IS SPENT AND THE BETTER OVERALL WELLBEING IT IS FOR THE FAMILY AS A WHOLE AND NOT JUST THE INDIVIDUAL. 
          SO THAT IS A BIG SHIFT AND A CHANGE SOCIAL SERVICES HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT PROMOTING WELLBEING FOR FAMILIES AND CARE. 
          BUT I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST PUSH INITIATIVES WITH FAMILY FIRST FOR PREVENTION. 
          UM, SO THAT DEFINITELY IS A CHANGE FOR OUR SYSTEM OF DELIVERY THAT I EXPECT IN THE NEXT FOUR TO FIVE YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OTHER RADICAL SHIFTS IN SOME OF OUR OTHER AREAS AND PROGRAMS THAT WE PROVIDE. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          THOSE, THOSE, THOSE ARE PROTECTED SERVICES ARE BOTH CHILDREN, ADULT ARE CONCERNING. 
          SO, SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT THERE IS EMPHASIS ON THAT. 
          SO WELCOME ABOARD. 
          LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP. 
          THANK YOU, MR. SHEPHERD. 
          AND A QUESTION IS WELCOME ABOARD. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU.

          UM, I THINK I READ A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS GOING TO DISCONTINUE PRODUCTION OF THOSE SEGWAY DEVICES. 
          HAVE YOU HEARD THAT AS WELL? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          UM, YOU HEARD CORRECTLY THAT THAT'S VERY TRUE. 
          UM, PATRIOT TOURS, UH, DOWNTOWN RIVER WALK LENDING ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT PROVIDE THE SEGWAY TOURS. 
          AND FUNNY, YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT RANDY, UH, DOING THAT WITH HIS WIFE, JILL, ACTUALLY, HE JUST TOOK A TRIP DOWN TO FLORIDA TO BUY A WHOLE STOCK OF THESE, UH, SEGWAYS TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO STILL MAINTAIN AND PROVIDE THESE TOURS FOR YORKTOWN FABULOUS QUESTIONS. 
          SO, YEAH, HE'S, HE'S, HE'S LOOKING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND GRABBING UP WHATEVER HE CAN GET. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ARE YOU STILL PLANNING ON DOING THAT WITH THOSE DEVICES? IT JUST BOUGHT EQUIPMENT AS HARD AS IT CAN GO MAKE THEM LAST. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANKS. 
          APPRECIATE IT, MR. SHEPHERD.

          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATIONS. 
          [CONSENT CALENDAR]
WE'LL MOVE INTO OUR CONSENT CALENDAR AND, UH, ITEM NUMBER ONE ON OUR CONSENT CALENDAR, ASSET WORK SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE FOR THE COUNTY FUEL STATIONS. 
          ITEM TWO IS THE ADOPT AND DESIGN PROCEDURES, SELECTION, EVALUATION, AWARDS, AND DESIGN BUILD CONTRACTS, UH, ANYBODY MEMBERS AND FOR MORE INFORMATION, OR WOULD LIKE ANY OF THESE ITEMS REMOVED OR PULL AS CHAIRMAN. 
          I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON ITEM NUMBER ONE. 
          SO, UM, I GUESS MR. MORGAN, THIS IS FOR YOU JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BUYING SOME SOFTWARE CALLED ASSET WORKS, UM, FOR $109,000, BUT IS THAT JUST SOFTWARE OR DOES THAT COME WITH A HARDWARE? AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE VENDOR DO IMPLEMENTATION FOR US AS WELL. 
          IS THAT, AM I READING THAT CORRECTLY? UM, IT DOES. 
          IT DOES INCLUDE SOME, UH, HARDWARE AND SOME PEDESTALS WHAT'S TRIGGERING. 
          THE ACTION IS THE, THE TOTAL REDO OF THE MAIN FUELING STATION AT FLEET. 
          [01:15:02]
UH, BUT THE SOFTWARE, THE TRACKS FUELING, UH, IS BEING UPGRADED AT ALL THREE FUELING SITES, WHICH ULTIMATELY WE'LL ALL HAVE TO HAVE THE TANKS REPLACED. 
          AND I GUESS WE HAVE TWO BASIC OPTIONS. 
          WE KIND OF SCOPED EVERYTHING WE WANTED A CONTRACTOR TO DO, INCLUDING BUYING THE TANKS AND, YOU KNOW, UPGRADING THE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE. 
          UH, IN OUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT PEOPLE CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS, IT WAS ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE COUNTY TO BUY A COUPLE OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS ON OUR OWN, AND THEN ONLY PAY THE CONTRACTOR TO, UM, PUT IT ALL TOGETHER, UM, AND NOT PAY CONTRACTOR OVERHEAD FOR THOSE ITEMS. UH, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. 
          UH, BRIAN WOODWARD IS MUCH CLOSER TO THE PROJECT THAN I AM. 
          AND I'VE NOW, UH, I'M AT THE RISK OF SAYING MORE THAN I KNOW MR. WOODWARD, THOSE ISSUES. 
          YEAH, ESSENTIALLY THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEMS CURRENTLY. 
          AND WHAT THIS SOFTWARE UPGRADE WILL DO IS PULL ALL THREE INTO ONE, UM, INTO ASSET WORKS. 
          UM, THAT'S THE ACTUAL LEVEL IN THE TANKS AS FAR AS THE, UM, AND THEN THE, THE FUEL MONITORING SYSTEM AND THEN THE WORK ORDER SYSTEM, WE ALL COMBINED INTO ONE SYSTEM. 
          AND THEN ALSO WHAT THIS SOFTWARE GIVES US THE CAPABILITY OF DOING IN THE FUTURE IS FOR VEHICLES TO PULL UP TO THE FUEL STATIONS AND WIRELESS WIRELESSLY CONNECT. 
          SO THE DRIVER, UM, ONLY HAS TO PUT THE, UH, THE NOZZLE INTO THE FUEL TANK AND WON'T HAVE TO USE A FOG, UM, TO IDENTIFY THE VEHICLE. 
          WE'LL HAVE TO INPUT THE MILEAGE, WHICH IS SOMETIMES, UM, OPERATOR ERROR AND CAUSES ADDITIONAL WORK OR FLEET TO CORRECT THE, UM, INACCURATE INPUTS AND PRIMARILY, YOU KNOW, IT HELP IN EMERGENCY VEHICLES AS FAR AS THEIR TIME, AS FAR AS FILLING UP AND GETTING BACK ON THE ROAD. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANKS. 
          THE $109,000 AT A ONE TIME FEE, DO WE HAVE YEARLY LICENSE FEE AFTER THIS YEAR? DO WE PAY FOR VENDOR SUPPORT YEAR TO YEAR OR ANY OTHER CHARGES THERE WE PAY VENDOR SUPPORT FOR ASSET WORKS, WHICH WILL BE PART OF THIS PROGRAM ON A YEARLY BASIS. 
          RIGHT. 
          WHAT'S WHAT'S THAT GOING TO BE A COST ANNUALLY? UH, UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE THAT ANSWER. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANKS. 
          THANKS FOR THAT. 
          BUT ANY MORE, ANY MORE QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. 
          WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD MS. KNOLL. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO MOVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR. 
          MADAM CLERK, ANKROM MOTION MADE BY MRS. NOLE IS TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR AS SUBMITTED MR. ZAREMBA.

          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, 
          [OPEN DISCUSSION]
MOVES US INTO OPEN DISCUSSION AND, UH, I'M GOING TO CALL ON MR. SHEPHERD, UH, FIRST. 
          OKAY. 
          LET ME GET BACK ON THE SCREEN HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          I'VE BEEN IN, OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, SUBJECT, I'M GOING TO BRING UP FOR THE, FOR THE BOARD. 
          THIS WILL PROBABLY BE, UH, THE ONLY, UM, TIME THAT YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS AT A BOARD MEETING AND FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS BECAUSE, UM, THE WAY, UH, THE BUY RIGHTS ISSUE FOR OUR, UH, UM, THE HRSD HAMPTON ROAD SANITATION DISTRICT, TO BE ABLE TO BUILD, UM, THE, UH, PRESSURE REDUCING STATION THAT THEY'VE PROPOSED, IT'S GOING TO BE OUT NEAR A TAB HIGH SCHOOL, UM, ON PROPERTY THAT WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM MR. DICK ASH. 
          UM, THE ISSUE THAT I'M BRINGING UP IS ONE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF IT. 
          I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE EMAILS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY YOUR CONSTITUENTS ALL ABOUT THIS. 
          UH, BUT THE THING IS I'M BRINGING UP IS THE FACT THAT I DON'T WANT THIS TO POP UP AGAIN. 
          SELDOM HAVE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BEEN SURPRISED OVER THE 20 YEARS, I'VE BEEN ON ADVENT AN OFFICE, BUT THIS WAS A SURPRISE TO ME BECAUSE ONE, I HAD NEVER, I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT A PRESSURE REDUCING STATION IS AND, UM, AND THE IMPACT THAT HAS. 
          AND SO WHEN YOU HEAR IT, HRSD IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING YOU NORMALLY THINK OF. 
          I'LL PUT A BIG PIPE UNDER THE GROUND, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE, UM, SO REMAINS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          WELL, THIS ONE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. 
          AND WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS A, UM, UH, BECAUSE OF THE CONSENT DECREE, THAT WAS, UH, THAT WERE PART OF AND HAMPTON ROADS, UM, THAT, 
          [01:20:01]
UH, THAT THIS BUILDING ESTABLISHMENT IS GOING TO BE A PRICE REDUCE STATE. 
          IT'S GOING TO BE TO HELP MITIGATE PROBLEMS. WHERE IN THE PAST, WHEN A SEWER TREATMENT PLANTS, WE HAVE TWO OF THEM IN OUR AREA. 
          ONE IS A YORK RIVER, AND SECOND IS THE JAMES RIVER. 
          UM, WHEN THEY GET SO MUCH WATER FLOWING FROM THE, INTO OUR SEWER SYSTEMS, AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT PUSHES THE WATER AND IT GETS CONTINUES TO PRESSURE AND CONTINUES TO PUSH THE WATER RIGHT INTO THE SOURCE SYSTEMS. AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY CAN'T PROCESS THE WATER FASTER THAN IT'S BEING PUMPED IN IT OVERFLOWS. 
          AND WHAT IT HISTORICALLY DOES IS OVERFLOWS RIGHT INTO THE RIVERS, THE TWO MAIN RIVERS, AND YOU GET RAW SEWAGE BEING DUMPED INTO THE RIVERS. 
          NOW, UH, IT WASN'T ALL TOO LONG AGO. 
          AND I PARTICULARLY REMEMBER THE ISSUE UP IN RICHMOND WHERE THIS OCCURRED, UH, IT WAS A REALLY BAD PROBLEM. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WHICH WAY THE WATER FLOWS RIGHT DOWN TOWARDS US. 
          AND SO, UH, RAW SEWAGE FROM THE JAMES RIVER WAS BEING DUMPED RIGHT INTO THE JAMES RIVER. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IT'S COMING DOWN TO US. 
          WHAT DOES, DOES HAS PRETTY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY, KILLS THE BAY DESTROYS THE BLUE CRAB, THE OYSTERING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF THE BACKGROUND. 
          SO WE HAVE A CONSENT DEGREE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 
          AND OUR STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY FOR YEARS ON THIS PROJECT, ALL IN ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES ROUND. 
          WELL, LO AND BEHOLD, UM, HAVE THE ROADS SANITATION DISTRICT WHO PUT IN TO POWER, UH, TO PRESSURE ME BACK IN TIME WHEN WE WERE DOING THE MORRIS CREEK PROJECT, UM, BIG BACK, BIG BLACK PIPES, THEY, THEY CAME DOWN, UH, VICTORY BOULEVARD, REAL CLOSE TO, UM, IN FACT WHEN, BY THE TAB, UH, FIRE STATION, FIRE STATION FIVE OR ONE OR TWO, EXCUSE ME. 
          AND, UM, AND THEN AT THAT POINT THEY SPLIT THE PIPES AND THEN ONE HEADED OUT TO THE, THE ONE PLANT AND THE OTHER ONE HEADED OUT TO THE OTHER TREATMENT PLANT. 
          WELL, THEN THEY NEEDED SOMEHOW TO BUILD A PRESSURE REDUCING STATION, UH, SO THAT THESE, THE SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED TO WHEN THAT WATER STARTS COMING IN FASTER THAN IT COULD BE PUMPED OUT. 
          WHAT THAT'S GOING TO HELP DO IS WE'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN THE PRESSURE. 
          AND SO YOU HAVE THESE TWO LARGE TANKS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO ESTABLISH THERE THAT WILL HELP CONTROL HOW MUCH WATER PRESSURE TO BE PUSHED DOWN INTO THE SYSTEM. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I WANT TO TRY TO SHOW YOU THIS, IF I CAN, AS BEST I CAN ON MY, UM, AND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE, IT SHOULD BE, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE WAY, UH, YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          LET'S LOOK AT IT THIS WAY. 
          SO WHAT YOU'VE GOT IS THIS IS THE GREEN LINES, THE LAND PART OF THE LAND THAT WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM, UH, MR. ASH, UM, WHO, UH, WHAT WE HAD BEEN TRYING TO DO. 
          AND I'VE BEEN TALKING TO NEIL ABOUT THIS IS THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET SOME OF THAT LAND FROM MR. ASH. 
          CAUSE I FIGURED THAT HE WAS GOING TO BUILD HOUSES OR SOMETHING IN THERE. 
          AND, UH, WE WOULD GET SOME OF THAT LAND. 
          AND, UH, FROM AN OLD HIGH SCHOOL, UH, PROGRAM AT HIGH SCHOOL, THEY MADE A PRESENTATION WHERE THEY COULD CONNECT ACROSS THE LAND AND GO FROM TAB HIGH SCHOOL. 
          OKAY. 
          WHICH IS JUST OVER ON THE, UH, I GUESS THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS CHART. 
          UM, AND IT WOULD GO DOWN, UH, THROUGH THE, THROUGH A PATH OR A PARK AND WE'D GO DOWN TO TAB MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          A BIG PROBLEM IS WE'VE SEEN KIDS RUNNING DOWN THESE ROADS AS PART OF THE SCHOOL, UH, LONG DISTANCE RUNNING AND ALL THAT. 
          AND THAT WAS A HELL, IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. 
          SO THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP WITH SOME OF THAT. 
          AND WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO, UH, MAYBE CONNECT, UH, CONNECTED TO PARTS. 
          WELL, OKAY. 
          SO THEN POPS UP, UH, UNBEKNOWNST TO US THAT MR. ASH SOLD A WHOLE PIECE OF PROPERTY TO HRSD AND THE PURPOSE WAS THE PRESSURE STATION. 
          SO WHAT'D YOU HAVE RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF YOU ARE THREE HOUSES OF A COMMUNITY CALLED HOLLY MEADE, WHICH HAS ABOUT 16 HOMES IN IT. 
          THESE, THESE, THESE PINK AREAS ARE THE TWO TANKS. 
          THE GREEN AREA IS THE BUILDING. 
          I THINK IT'S ABOUT 2,500, MAYBE 3000 SQUARE FEET. 
          IT'S GOING TO HOUSE PUMPS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          THESE TANKS ARE A HUNT WITH THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OR MAXIMUM DISTANCE. 
          SO THE TANK OR WITH THE TANK IS 150 FEET ACROSS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEY WANTED TO BE 45 FEET HIGH. 
          UM, AND SO THEY, THEY, THE DESIGN SHOWS TOO. 
          THEY'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT NOW PLANNING ONLY TO BUILD ONE AND PUT THE SECOND ONE IN IF THEY NEED TO. 
          AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HOLD 2.3 MILLION GALLONS OF SEWAGE. 
          OKAY. 
          IF THE MAX CAPACITY, WHEN THEY NEED TO FILL IT UP, NOW, THEY WOULDN'T BE MAINTAINED THAT THE WHOLE TIME LIKE THAT, BUT IT'S JUST DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH RAIN AND HOW MUCH USAGE WE GET. 
          SO IF EVERYBODY'S FLUSHING TOILETS AT THE ONE, IT'S THE SAME TIME OR TAKING A SHOWER, THEY MAY HAVE TO USE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THE DISTANCE FROM THE TANK, THE CLOSEST TANK TO THE HOUSE, 
          [01:25:01]
UH, WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS WAS RIGHT AT ABOUT 180 FEET. 
          OKAY. 
          WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME DISTANCE AS THE WIDTH OF THE TANK. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT THESE PEOPLE IN HERE, HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THIS. 
          IN FACT, THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, NOT ONLY THESE FOLKS, BUT THE FOLKS THAT ARE ACROSS THE STREET ACROSS, UH, VICTORY BOULEVARD ARE NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT. 
          THE PROBLEM IS WE'RE SUPERVISORS HAVE, BECAUSE THIS IS A BI-RITE DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE HAVE NO INPUT, BUT WE WILL SEE, WE HAVE A LOT OF INPUT ONLY BECAUSE HRSD IS, HAS BEEN VERY GRACIOUS IN HELPING US TO TRY TO GET OUR INPUT. 
          AND THEY WILL BE SETTING UP A COUPLE OF MEETINGS. 
          UH, ONE WITH THE VIRTUAL MEETING, ONE THAT WILL BE WITH THE RESIDENTS FOR HOLLY MEET. 
          AND THEN THE SECOND ONE LATER ON THAT WILL BE BIGGER AND OPENED UP TO EVERYONE ELSE. 
          BUT THERE ARE VERY FEW OPTIONS. 
          UH, ALTHOUGH THE LAND, UH, THE LAND IS MUCH IN THE SENSE THAT THAT YEAR WE HAD SMALLER TANKS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF IN THERE. 
          BUT WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS THEY NEED TO PUT ALL THIS PRETTY MUCH ON THIS, ON THIS, THIS SIDE, BECAUSE THAT'S A POWER LINE THROUGH HERE, DOMINION POWERED, FROWNS ON THEM, PUTTING SEWER TANKS UNDERNEATH THE POWER LINE. 
          UM, SO YOU CAN IMAGINE IF ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU GET ANOTHER ONE OF THESE AND IT POPS UP BEHIND WALTZ DISTRICT OR POPS UP AND, UH, YOU KNOW, STEVE OR WA SHEILA'S DISTRICT, YOU HAVE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FEEL ABOUT THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE NO, WE HAVE NO, UH, LEGAL COURSE OF ACTION. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. 
          UM, NOW I'M WORKING WITH THEM TO TRY TO PUSH THIS THING, EVEN AS, AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET TO THE POWER LINES, TO INCREASE THE DISTANCE, UH, AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. 
          AND ALSO I'M TRYING WHAT I W WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE STAFF AND TALKING TO HIM, WE'VE HAD SOME VIDEO CONFERENCES OR, UH, ZOOM MEETINGS, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS KEEP AS MUCH OF THIS AS WOODED AS POSSIBLE. 
          UM, UNFORTUNATELY THERE MAY BE A SITUATION WHERE THERE HAVE TO, UH, UH, I CAN'T SEE FROM THIS AREA, BUT DOWN, RIGHT DOWN IN HERE, THEY MAY ACTUALLY HAVE TO CUT DOWN ON A LOT OF THE, UH, REMOVE A LOT OF THE TREES TO BUILD A BMP. 
          OKAY. 
          WHICH WOULD THEN MAKE THE VISUAL DISTANCE PROBABLY LESS THAN A HUNDRED FEET. 
          NOW, IF YOU THINK YOU, AGAIN, YOU WANT TO PUT IN PERSPECTIVE THE SIZE OF THE TANKS, UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU THINK ABOUT TYPICAL HOUSE, IT'S ABOUT 40 FEET, 40 FEET ACROSS, THIS WOULD BE AS WIDE AS THREE HOUSES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IT WOULD BE HIGH. 
          IT WOULD BE AS HIGH AS ALMOST A THREE-STORY BUILDING. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND NOW IT'S, IT'S JUST NOW GOING FROM A WOODED AREA. 
          OKAY. 
          TO BEING PUT UP RIGHT NEXT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND, UM, AND IN MY MIND, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS AN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX TYPE OF, UH, WHAT WE WOULD HAVE IN A, IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA THAT WE NEVER WOULD ALLOW ANYTHING LIKE THIS UP NEXT TO A HOME. 
          AND WE GO TO GREAT LENGTHS IN OUR ZONING TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE FROM HAVING TO EXPERIENCE, UM, INDUSTRIAL TYPE OF OPERATIONS AROUND, UM, AROUND THAT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. 
          MOST OF MY AREA IS ALL RESIDENTIAL HAS VERY LITTLE BUSINESS, BUT IT HAS A RURAL RESIDENTIAL, THIS TYPE OF PROJECT PRETTY MUCH IS ALLOWED. 
          IN FACT, IT IS ALLOWED IN ALL RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS, ALL REV, RESIDENTIALLY, ZONED AREAS IN YOUR COUNTY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO BRING THIS TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION IS THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE A GREAT CONSTERNATION OVER THIS. 
          THEY FEEL THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THEY DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS WHEN THEY BUILT OUR HOUSES DOWN IN THIS NAME, BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          UM, AND PEOPLE AROUND HERE DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE ANYTHING LIKE THIS. 
          WHY WOULD WE WHO DIDN'T AND WHO KNOWS ABOUT A PRESSURE REDUCING STATION? I'D NEVER HEARD OF A PRESSURE REDUCING STATION UNTIL THIS THING SHOWED UP. 
          SO I'M THE BOARD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ONE. 
          IF I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, THAT YOU AND US AS A BOARD SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE FUTURE TO CONTROL THIS KIND OF THING POPPING UP IN YOUR COUNTY NEXT TO A RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX, EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER A CONSENT THAT THERE'LL BE AS PART OF A CONSENT DEGREE ABOUT THE COURT TO ADDRESS THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. 
          UM, I'M PRETTY MIFFED ABOUT THIS. 
          AND, UM, BUT, UM, BUT I GOT TO IN DEFENSE OF HRS DAY, I WILL SAY THAT THEIR THAT'S THEIR JOB, THEIR JOB IS TO MITIGATE SEWAGE ISSUES. 
          AND WE DON'T WANT SEWAGE FLOWING INTO OUR RIVERS. 
          UM, BUT I THINK THERE'S A BETTER WAY, A BETTER WAY OF HANDLING. 
          NOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO, WHY NOT SINK THIS THING INTO THE GROUND, PUT IT ALL ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE SPENDING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 16 AND $20 MILLION ON THIS PROJECT. 
          UM, THEY'VE, THEY'VE TALKED TO ME ABOUT THE FACT THAT, UH, THAT IF YOU TRY TO PUT THIS IN THE GROUND, THEY'VE VERY DONE TO SOME OF THE GEO 
          [01:30:01]
TECHNOLOGICAL STUFF. 
          AND IT DOES JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU AND ENDED UP WITH PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE WATER TABLE'S VERY HIGH IN THIS AREA. 
          CAUSE THEY'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE RIVERS. 
          UM, AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT OR LOOKING AT, TO CAMOUFLAGING IT, WE'RE LOOKING AT PLANNING, THEY'RE TRYING TO MINIMIZE ANY DESTRUCTION OF THE GREEN, FAR, THE FOREST THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS BETWEEN THE HOMES AND, AND THIS PROJECT. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THEIR THEY'VE EVERYTHING I GIVE THEM, THEY THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK IT. 
          UM, SO I'M JUST BRINGING THIS TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION. 
          SORRY, I'VE TAKEN SO LONG ON THIS, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO, HOPEFULLY NOT HAVE YOU GUYS GO THROUGH THE SAME THINGS THAT I'M GOING THROUGH DOWN HERE OVER THIS ISSUE. 
          THANKS, MR. SHAPIRO. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY THERE'S SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER, BUT AS YOU SAID, YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT, BUT I, I DO FEEL AS YOU DO, TOM IS GOT TO COME UP WITH SOME WAY TO CAMOUFLAGE IT BECAUSE IT'S THERE TO THOSE PEOPLE. 
          SO THANK YOU, MR. RUMBLE. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, IF I UNDERSTAND THE DIAGRAM, TOM, THAT'S TWO TANKS OF 2.5 BILLION GALLONS OF SEWERAGE, THREE STORIES ABOVE THE GROUND. 
          IS THAT WHAT THAT'S DEPICTING? THAT'S YEAH, THAT'S ME TWO OF THEM AND I CAN'T RIGHT NOW. 
          I'VE GOT MY HEAD. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A TOTAL OF 2.3 MILLION FOR BOTH TANKS OR JUST 2.3 MILLION FOR ONE TANK, RIGHT? WELL, I DON'T, I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT 2.5 AND FIVE AND THREE. 
          NO, I KNOW. 
          I'M JUST SAYING IT IT'S, BUT IT'S BIG. 
          IT'S HUGE. 
          MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE BUY, RIGHT? WHAT 10, THAT, THAT HIT THE NORTH SANITATION DEPARTMENT DO BUY RIGHT? BILL TWO TANKS, FILL IT WHATEVER THEY WANT, OR ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE WATER TANKS OR SOMETHING THAN SORGE. 
          AND I, I READ MR. BARNETT'S EMAILS AT EIGHT, FOUR TIMES TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HIS INTERPRETATION WAS. 
          JIM, CAN YOU AMPLIFY EXPLAIN WHAT'S THE BUY, RIGHT? UM, UNDER YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE, SEWAGE PUMPING STATIONS ARE, ARE A USE BY RIGHT IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR DISTRICTS. 
          THIS PUMPS SEWAGE. 
          SO YOU AND YOUR ZONING ADMINISTRATOR HAS DETERMINED THAT, THAT IT FALLS UNDER THE CATEGORY OF A SEWAGE PUMPING STATION. 
          OF COURSE IT DOES HAVE THE ADDED FEATURE THAT IT ALSO EQUALIZES PRESSURE BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT, UM, UH, TRANSMISSION LINES THAT PROCEED FROM IT PRECISELY IN ORDER TO AVOID OR TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF OVERFLOWS. 
          UM, IN CASE THERE ARE WEAK POINTS IN THE PIPE, PIPE, VETS OUT HOW, HOW I UNDERSTAND IT. 
          UM, BUT NONETHELESS, IT IS, UM, ALTHOUGH LARGER THAN YOUR AVERAGE PUMPING STATION, WHICH YOU COULD DRIVE BY IN YOUR OWN SUBDIVISION, IF THERE IS ONE AND NOT EVEN NOTICE IT. 
          UM, UH, BUT TH TH THAT IS NONETHELESS, IT IS A SEWAGE PUMPING FACILITY AND YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE DOES NOT CURRENTLY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SEWAGE PUMPING FACILITIES BASED ON SIZE. 
          THEY ARE A USE OF WRITING EVERY ONE OF YOUR DISTRICTS NOW IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THAT SO THAT THERE IS A, SOME SIZE LIMITATION OR SOME OTHER ASPECT OF THIS KIND OF PROJECT THAT, THAT NEEDS TO COME BEFORE YOU FOR SAY A SPECIAL USE PERMIT OR BE PROHIBITED. 
          I'LL CERTAINLY WORK WITH STAFF, UM, TO COME UP WITH SUGGESTIONS, TO BRING TO YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, FOR, TO AMEND YOUR ORDINANCE, BUT CURRENTLY, UM, UH, IT IS A SEWAGE PUMPING STATION AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE, EVEN THOUGH BIG, LARGE, OBVIOUSLY LARGER THAN WHAT WE'VE SEEN BEFORE, NEW YORK COUNTY, NONETHELESS IT PUMP SEWAGE AND, AND, AND A SEWAGE PUMPING STATION IS A USE OF RIGHT. 
          AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR DISTRICTS WAS STANDING THAT THERE'S THREE STORIES ABOVE THE GROUND. 
          YEAH. 
          YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE DOES NOT CURRENTLY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THEM. 
          IF, IF, IF WE SAID, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE'S AN ADMINISTRATOR WERE TO SAY, HOWEVER, WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THEM. 
          IF THEY'RE MORE THAN 10 FEET TALL, THEN THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE CURRENTLY DOES NOT SAY DOES NOT, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IT PROVIDES JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR ORDINANCE. 
          UH, BUT, UM, BUT THIS, THIS USE, IN FACT, I HAVEN'T BEEN ASKED IF IT'S INVESTED UNDER THE CURRENT, BUT JIM, BUT, YOU KNOW, AS A FELLOW ATTORNEY, I HATE TO BRING THE FACT THAT THE ATTORNEY, JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY SOMETHING, DOES IT MEAN CARP BLACK, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT? NO, IT DOESN'T SAY DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT IT SAYS YOU CAN HAVE A SEWAGE PUMPING STATION AT ANY ONE OF YOUR ZONING AND DISTRICTS WITHOUT DEFINING THE PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS OF THE PROPERTY. 
          YOU, YOU, YOU'RE A ZONING ORDINANCE RIGHT NOW DOES NOT DEFINE ZONE, UH, SEWAGE PUMPING STATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CAPACITY, SIZE HEIGHT, OR ANYTHING ELSE I CAN BREAK IN HERE REAL QUICK. 
          WELL, ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE 
          [01:35:01]
ANY S ANY SMALLER NEIGHBORHOOD PUMPING STATIONS LIKE THIS, THAT PROBABLY MORE THAN ONE STORY HIGH. 
          OKAY. 
          THE THING HERE IS THE ONLY RESTRICTION THAT WE DO HAVE THEY KEVIN'S, WE AT LEAST HAVE THAT IS THE THIRD THAT THEY ARE LIMITED TO 35 FEET. 
          OKAY. 
          THE PROBLEM WITH 35 FEET IS THAT NOW YOU, IF IT'S A FUNCTION OF HOW THE ENGINEERS WILL TELL YOU, IT'S A FUNCTION OF HOW BIG THE TANK HAS TO BE. 
          SO IF I WANTED TO HAVE A, A STORAGE TANK THAT WITH 2.3 MILLION GALLONS, OKAY. 
          AND IT COULD ONLY BE 10 FEET HIGH, MAGINE HOW WIDE IT'S GOING TO BE. 
          RIGHT. 
          WELL, SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THESE THINGS ARE DESIGNED FOR 45 FEET, AND I THINK OURS 40 FEET MAYBE. 
          AND, UH, AND SO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IS DROP IT DOWN TO 35 FEET, WHICH WILL KEEP THEM FROM HAVING TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO ADDRESS THIS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, UH, THEN THEY MAKE THE TANKS WIDER. 
          WELL, TWO POINTS, MR. ADMINISTRATOR. 
          I DON'T WANT ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN DISTRICT ONE. 
          SO LET'S START RIGHT AWAY REVIEWING THAT PARTICULAR ASPECT OF OUR COUNTY ORDINANCES. 
          SO WE CAN CORRECT. 
          IT SOUNDS LIKE THE HORSE GOT OUT OF THE BARN ON THIS ONE, BUT LET'S NOT HAVE HORSES GET OUT OF THE BARN. 
          OF COURSE, THE COUNTY, PLEASE. 
          OKAY. 
          SURE. 
          LET ME, LET ME JUST GO AHEAD AND LET'S CLARIFY THIS. 
          UH, I LIKE TO DIRECT, UH, WITH THE BOARD'S APPROVAL, AND I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE, UH, THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO REVIEW THE ZONING ORDINANCES AND CRAFT A, UH, AMENDMENT OR A NEW ZONING ORDINANCE, SO THAT WE'RE NOT SURPRISED LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE, AND THAT WOULD PROHIBIT LARGE-SCALE STORAGE FACILITIES OR HOWEVER THEY WOULD LIKE TO, UH, HIDE THIS OR PARSE THIS, UH, THAT WILL BE POPPING UP AGAIN. 
          SO, UM, IF MR. BARNETT, IF YOU, MR. MORGAN COULD WORK ON THAT AND GET BACK WITH THE BOARD TO THE BOARD, UH, AS SOON AS YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOME, UH, OPTIONS FOR US AND CHAD, I'D LIKE TO MAKE IT JUST TO ALSO ADD TO THIS, UM, YOU KNOW, IT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW, BUT THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING PRESSURE, REDUCING STATIONS ALL OVER THE PENINSULA OF DELI. 
          I MEAN, THEY'VE GOT THEM OUT IN NEWPORT NEWS. 
          I THINK HAPPENED. 
          HAMPTON HAS THEM. 
          THEY PROBABLY GOT THEM OVER AND GSP. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHY WE THOUGHT WHY THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED HERE WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD NEVER COME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE NOT ONLY LOOK AT THIS, BUT WE LOOK AT ANYTHING IN OUR ORDINANCE THAT WOULD PREVENT ANY KIND OF INDUSTRIAL FUTURE INDUSTRIAL, UH, EFFORT, EVEN COMING ANYWHERE NEAR OUR HOMES, WITHOUT IT COMING BEFORE THE BOARD SUPERVISOR FOR APPROVAL. 
          I MEAN, I, THERE'S GOTTA BE OTHER SURPRISES OUT THERE AND WOULD JUST REALLY LIKE US TO BE, LET'S GET AHEAD OF THIS PARTICULAR ONE. 
          THIS WAS A SURPRISE. 
          AND I APOLOGIZE. 
          I WISH I COULD HAVE, IF I HADN'T KNOWN ABOUT THIS EARLIER, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE ALL OVER IT. 
          BUT, UM, THIS ONE WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT GOOD POINT A COUPLE THINGS. 
          I'M LOOKING AT THE MAP, SEEING WHERE THIS IS GOING TO BE LOCATED AND IS TAB HIGH SCHOOL. 
          THERE'S A FIRE STATION AS BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH. 
          THERE WAS A PENINSULA COMMUNITY CHAPEL ACROSS VICTOR BOULEVARD. 
          OF COURSE, ALL THE HOMES AROUND THERE. 
          I MEAN, THIS, THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO PUT THAT. 
          AND I DON'T THINK WE CAN PASS THE RED FACE TEST TO FIND THIS, OR, OR HRSD CAN PASS THE RED FACE TEST BY DEFINING THIS IS A PUMP STATION, A PUMP STATION PUMPS. 
          WHEN YOU HAVE 2.5 MILLION GALLONS OF WHATEVER YOU'RE NOT PUMPING WELL, YOU'RE NOT JUST PUMPING, YOU'RE STORING AS WELL. 
          SO I'M STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE NO WAY TO MITIGATE THIS. 
          UH, I THINK, UH, I THINK WE NEED TO GET CREATIVE HERE. 
          UM, THE, THOSE HOMES YOU SHOWED YOU ON THE MAP OR ON YOUR PICTURE OF THE HOMES I'M LOOKING AT HERE, I MEAN, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THAT REAL ESTATE VALUE? I MEAN, WOULD YOU BUY THAT HOME? AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IN THE COUNTY WOULD WANT TO BUY A HOME THAT A HUNDRED FEET AWAY FROM 2.5 MILLION GUMS GALLONS OF SEWAGE. 
          SO I THINK WE NEED TO GET CREATIVE HERE. 
          I THINK WE NEED TO GET CREATIVE WITH HRSD AND, AND FIGURE OUT A BETTER SOLUTION TO WHAT, WHAT THEIR CHALLENGES ARE AND TO WHAT OUR CHALLENGES ARE HERE IN SERVING THE, THE, THE, THE COMMUNITY AND LIKE, WELL, I DON'T WANT, I DON'T WANT HIM LIKE THIS IN DISTRICT FOUR. 
          I DON'T WANT TO, I DON'T WANT THAT POPPING UP SOMEWHERE HERE ON THE ROAD OR, OR LAKESIDE ROBBED OR THERE, IF THAT WAS ROOM FOR IT, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT A GOOD PLACE IN, IN AMONGST SO MANY HOMES AND CHURCHES AND IN SCHOOLS. 
          SO I THINK WE NEED TO GET CREATIVE HERE. 
          WELL, WHAT, WHAT'S THE TIME? WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME TIME TO DO YOU KNOW WHAT, WHEN IT GOT RIGHT AWAY, UH, THEY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR. 
          UM, THEY'RE STARTING RIGHT NOW STARTING TO MAKE THE THEY'RE DESIGNING THE PROJECT. 
          AND, UM, IT'LL PROBABLY BE SOMETIME MARCH, 
          [01:40:01]
APRIL AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, AROUND APRIL, THAT THEY WILL HAVE ABOUT 30% OF THE DESIGN COMPLETE AT WHICH TIME THEY WERE THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD THE FIRST VIRTUAL MEETING. 
          OKAY. 
          FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO PARTICIPATE, THEN WHAT'LL HAPPEN IS THAT, UH, THE PLAN IS, SHOULD BE FINISHED. 
          BIDS WILL GO OUT AND IT SHOULD BE BUILDING TIME. 
          THEY'LL START BUILDING AROUND JUNE OF 22. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE SUMMER, JUNE OF 22, RIGHT. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE PUMPS AND STUFF, UH, THERE WILL BE PUMPS. 
          OF COURSE, THEN IT WILL BE IN THAT GREEN AREA, UM, THAT GREEN WILL HOLD THE PUMPS. 
          AND THERE PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY AND ALL THAT, THESE TANKS, DON'T, THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT ON TALK ABOUT THE TECHNICAL PARTS, BUT, UH, THE TANKS DON'T EXPLODE. 
          THEY LET THE WAY THEY, THEY FAILED AS THEY LEAK. 
          AND THERE'S DOUBLE LINE TANKS. 
          THEY'VE TREATED WITH, UH, THE INTERIORS AND TREATED A CHEMICAL THAT'S IMPERVIOUS. 
          WELL, NOT ONLY IMPERVIOUS, BUT IT'S JUST NOT AFFECTED BY THE SULFURIC ACID IS CREATED BY THE SEWER. 
          AND THEY'VE GOT, UM, AND AGAIN, YOU SEE THESE LITTLE BITTY DOTS RIGHT IN HERE, THAT'S THE TREATMENT FOR THE ODOR. 
          UM, AND YOU, YEAH, YOU CLOSE THESE THINGS. 
          DO YOU WANT HIM TO SMELL IT? BUT THAT'S THE SCIENCE NOWADAYS. 
          WE'VE GOT IT THAT FAR AGAIN. 
          WE UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WANT IT. 
          THE PROBLEM IS I DON'T WANT ONE UP NEXT TO MY HOUSE. 
          I DON'T WANT IT UP NEXT TO MY CONSTITUENTS HOUSE. 
          I WANT IT IN THE WOODS AWAY FROM WAY FROM FOLKS. 
          SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE THIS. 
          THIS IS WHAT WE'VE, WHAT WE'RE ESSENTIALLY HAVING IS AN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX NOW BIG PLACE, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A, OF A HIGH VALUE RESIDENTIAL AREA. 
          SO I, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M UP FOR ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO THE TRAILS AND ALL THAT. 
          LET ME JUST GO A RECORD SAYING THIS. 
          I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TRAILS AT THIS POINT. 
          YOU COULD TAKE THAT WHOLE THING AND MAKE A BIG TANK ALL THE WAY DOWN TO, FROM YORKTOWN ROAD TO, TO, UM, VICTORY BOULEVARD, FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IF YOU CAN HIDE THIS THING. 
          BUT, UM, I IT'S, IT'S JUST SAD. 
          IT REALLY IS. 
          I LIKE THAT MAKE IT JUST A FOOTNOTE COMING, TOM, YOU GAVE A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION OF THE ISSUE FACTS AND SO ON, BUT ALSO WITH RESPECT TO, WHO'S BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS DECISION. 
          AS I LOOKED THROUGH THE RECORDS, BOTH THE, THE CHIEF PLANNER FOR THE COUNTY AND THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR HAD TO MAKE AN INTERPRETATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS WASN'T IN FACT BY RIGHT OR NOT IN BOTH CASES, AS I UNDERSTAND IT. 
          AND I STAND CORRECTED, MR. ADMINISTRATOR, IF I'M WRONG, THEY VOTED IN FAVOR OF IT WAS A BUY, RIGHT. 
          INSTEAD OF STANDING UP TO THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTY, SAY IT WAS NOT A BUYER WINE COME BEFORE THE BOARD, SEE IF THE BOARD WILL APPROVE IT OR NOT. 
          UH, SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE, WE REPRESENT CITIZENS. 
          WE DON'T REPRESENT DEVELOPERS OR INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANIES RUINED DISAPPOINTED THE WAY SOME OF THE STAFF HAS ACTED ON THIS ISSUE. 
          THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY TONIGHT, BUT I APPEALED. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY OTHER MATTERS BEFORE THE BOARD OR FROM THE SUPERVISORS, MR. MORGAN, YOU WANT TO ADDRESS ANYTHING I'LL SEE YOU AROUND, WHICH USUALLY MEANS YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, WELL, I MEAN, WE CAN CERTAINLY, UH, TAKE A LOOK AT THE ZONING ORDINANCE. 
          UM, ONE THING I WOULD SAY IS, UM, AS IT'S BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME, THERE AREN'T VERY MANY PLACES WHERE THIS WOULD COME UP. 
          IT'S WHERE THESE TWO MAJOR TRUNK LINES ARE CONVERGING. 
          SO I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO BE CONCERNED THAT THESE ARE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, POPPING UP AROUND THE COUNTY. 
          UM, THE REALITY IS WE CAN CHANGE OUR ORDINANCE AND WE WILL. 
          UM, AND, UM, HRSD IN MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN A VERY, UH, RESPONSIBLE PUBLIC UTILITY. 
          UM, I BELIEVE THEY'LL WORK WITH THE STAFF, WORK WITH THE BOARD AND WORK WITH ASSISTANTS TO COME UP WITH AS GOOD OF A SCENARIO AS THEY CAN. 
          AND, UM, THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY. 
          YEAH, MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN REAL QUICK, I WANNA, I WANNA, UH, CLARIFY SOMETHING FOR THE, FOR EVERYONE. 
          AND, UM, IT KIND OF COMES A LITTLE BIT TO NEIL'S DEFENSE HERE, NEIL, UH, NEIL, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PROPERTY ALL OVER THE COUNTY. 
          I MEAN, NOT, NOT WE, BUT PEOPLE HOME PARCELS, A BIG PIECES OF LAND HERE AND THERE. 
          AND, UH, THE COUNTY WILL COUNTY DOESN'T KNOW. 
          UM, IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO SELL THE LAND, UH, IT JUST SELL THE LAND. 
          I MEAN, HOW MUCH COUNTY INVOLVEMENT DO YOU GET? NOT MUCH. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU DO COURT STUFF AND WHATNOT LIKE THAT. 
          SO IN HIS PARTICULAR CASE, A DEVELOPER, UH, WHO OWNS A LOT OF LAND AROUND HERE, UM, HE TOOK IT ON HIMSELF TO, UH, TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO HR STATE, WHICH WAS SEARCHING FOR A PIECE OF PROPERTY. 
          HE HAD ALWAYS HAD THEIR EYE ON IS SO, YOU KNOW, NEIL AND I, LIKE I SAID, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ELDERLY 
          [01:45:01]
WHEN IT CAME UP TO THAT IDEA FROM THE STUDENTS TO CREATE THAT PATH ACROSS THAT LAND. 
          AND I APPROACHED NEIL BECAUSE DICK TOLD ME, DICK ASH TOLD ME THAT HE WAS TRYING TO UNLOAD HIS LAND. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I SAID, WELL, WHY DON'T WE GO AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET SOME OF THE LAND. 
          AND HE WASN'T THINKING ABOUT ALL OF IT, JUST SOME OF IT TO MAKE THAT PATH. 
          AND SO I APPROACHED DEAL ON THAT. 
          AND THEN NEIL, ON HIS DEAL FROM THAT POINT ON TO TRY TO INTERACT WITH MR. ASH ON PURCHASE OF, OR MAYBE SOME CONSIDERATION FOR LAND, HE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS, WELL, UNBEKNOWNST TO HIM, YOU KNOW, DICK DEAL, DICK ASH DEALS WITH A LOT OF OTHER DIFFERENT FOLKS AND HRS D APPROACHED THEM. 
          AND THEY, BETWEEN THOSE TWO, THEY DID THE LAND PURCHASE. 
          AND, AND I ACTUALLY APPROACHED MR. ASH ON THE GOLF COURSE DRIVING RANGE. 
          AND I SAID, HEY, YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO NEIL ABOUT SELLING THE LAND. 
          HE GOES, TOM, I SOLD THAT LAND. 
          AND THAT'S THE FIRST WE HEARD ABOUT IT THAT HE HAD SAID, OH, I SOLD THE LAND. 
          HRSD CAME IN AND BOUGHT THE WHOLE THING. 
          AND, UH, AND SO I CALLED UP NEIL AND TOLD NEIL THAT, HEY, THIS IS WHAT HAD HAPPENED. 
          AND THAT'S HOW NEIL FOUND OUT THAT THE LAND WAS PURCHASED BY HR STATE. 
          SO HOW ANYTHING ELSE WAS HAPPENING THAT IN, IN THAT CAME INTO THE STAFF THAT THIS WAS BEING PLANNED? I COULDN'T TELL YOU. 
          I DON'T THINK, UH, I DON'T THINK NEIL KNEW ABOUT IT. 
          I DON'T BE HONEST WITH YOU. 
          I DON'T THINK THE STAFF REALLY KNEW ABOUT IT. 
          AND, UH, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT, I KNOW NONE OF YOU KNEW ABOUT IT. 
          SO THIS IS KIND OF THIS KIND OF SNUCK IN ON US. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT NO ONE WAS STANDING THERE WITH A RED FLAG GOING, WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE. 
          YOU CAN'T HAVE IT. 
          DON'T DO THIS. 
          DON'T DO THIS BECAUSE IN TRUTH, THERE WAS NOT A WHOLE LOT WE COULD DO. 
          WELL, TELL ME WHAT, WHAT WHAT'S CONCERNING ABOUT IS I WOULD HAVE MISSED, I ASKED NATURE OF STEVE, YOU GET TOGETHER TO SELL THE PROPERTY AND THAT'S ALL WELL AND FINE. 
          I'M DISAPPOINTED IN HRS D'S PRESENTATION OF WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AS, AS A PUMP STATION. 
          BECAUSE WHEN THEY SAY WE WANT TO PUT A PUMP STATION, I'M THINKING OF THE PUMP STATION. 
          I SEE HERE, HERE IN BRANDYWINE, IN US, I SEE GOING UP IN, UM, IN, IN TAYLOR FARMS, THAT'S WHEN THEY SAY PUMP STATION, THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT. 
          IT, WASN'T A REALITY IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO INSTALL. 
          I, I, I DON'T THINK, I THINK THEY WERE BEING DISINGENUOUS OF PRESENTING TO THE COUNTY STAFF, WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO AND IT KIND OF STAFF WORKING OFF OF WHAT THEY UNDERSTOOD. 
          AND NOW WE SAY, HEY, NO, IT'S A WHOLE LOT BIGGER THAN THAT. 
          SO I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THE WAY THAT IT'S APPARENT TO ME THAT HRSD HAS KIND OF PRESENTED THIS TO THE COUNTY AND NOW LEFT US IN THIS POSITION HERE WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS WELL, HOW THE HECK DID YOU DEAL WITH THIS? I MEAN, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY MADE SURE SD COULD STAND IN FRONT OF THAT FACILITY AND TELL A HOMEOWNER IT'S JUST A PUMP STATION. 
          YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STAND IN FRONT OF A FOUR, FOUR STORY TOWER FILLED WITH 2.4 GALLONS OF SEWAGE MILLION GALLONS OF SEWAGE AND SAY, IT'S JUST A PUMP STATION. 
          I DON'T THINK YOU COULD, THEY CAN PASS THAT RED FACE TEST. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S A CHALLENGE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS HERE AS, AS A BOARD AND THE STAFF MR. RONELL, LIKE HOW YOU USE THE RED FACE TEST INSTEAD OF THE SMELL TEST, UH, WHEN REFERRING TO THE TWO POINT MILLION OF SEWAGE. 
          BUT ANYWAY, UH, THANKS, UH, WITH THAT, UH, WANT TO JUST MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT OUR NEXT REGULAR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING WILL BE HELD 6:00 PM. 
          TUESDAY, MARCH 16TH WILL BE IN-PERSON. 
          UH, AND WE HAVE A BIG ISSUE, A COUPLE OF THEM, UH, THE BUDGET, UH, THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET WILL BE DROPPED ON US, UH, THAT NIGHT, UH, FROM OUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND, UH, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, THE, UH, FENTON MILL ISSUE. 
          UH, I'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF EMAILS CALLS ALREADY. 
          IT WILL BE IN-PERSON. 
          UH, SO IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO COME HERE AND SPEAK, UH, IT'S GOING TO BE IN PERSON TUESDAY, MARCH 16TH. 
          ALSO, UH, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, IF YOU HAVE, IF YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE COMING TO THE BOARD MEETING, PLEASE WRITE US AN EMAIL, PICK UP THE PHONE, CALL US, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A VERY, UH, ACCEPTABLE AND WAY TO GET YOUR OPINION KNOWN TO THE BOARD. 
          AND, UH, IT IS JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS COMING DOWN HERE AND STANDING UP AND TAKING YOUR THREE MINUTES. 
          SO PLEASE, UH, PEOPLE UP THERE AND THE WALTZ GOD'S COUNTRY, AS HE REFERS TO IT, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IT PINNING ON EMAIL OR PICKING UP THE PHONE AND CALLING THE BOARD, UH, WORK, IF YOU FEEL SO INCLINED TO COME DOWN HERE AND, UH, TALK, UH, USE YOUR THREE MINUTES. 
          NOT SURE WHAT ERA GOVERNOR'S, UH, EDICTS ARE GOING TO BE AT THAT TIME, BUT WE WILL BE TAKING COVID PRECAUTIONS. 
          UM, SO WHEN THINGS WILL BE SPACED OUT AND, UH, SANTA AND SANITARY CONDITIONS WILL BE MAINTAINED. 
          SO WITH THAT, UH, I'M GOING TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING UNTIL TUESDAY, MARCH 16TH. 
          [01:50:01]
WE'RE ADJOURNED. 
          THANK YOU, CAROL.
