GOOD EVENING.

WELCOME.

UM, I WANT TO GO OVER THE QUARTERLY TRANSPORTATION, UH, UPDATE FOR YORK COUNTY.

UM, SO MAINTENANCE WISE, WE'VE UH, COMPLETED THIS QUARTER FROM JUNE 1ST TO AUGUST 31ST, UH, 76% OF OUR, UM, WORK ORDERS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED IN THE COUNTY.

UH, THE TOP REQUEST OF THOSE WORK ORDERS HAS BEEN DRAINAGE.

WE HAD SEVEN HOURS THIS QUARTER AND, UH, DEBRIS REMOVAL, UH, NON-DISASTER RELATED ABOUT THREE CUBIC YARDS.

UH, WE WERE, WE WENT IN AND, AND MILLED UP THE ASPHALT, UH, SUB BASE, UH, DID SOME CEMENT TREATED, UH, AGGREGATE AND THEN PUT A, UH, BASE LAYER.

AND THEN THE, I CALL IT THE, THE SURFACE LAYER, UM, OVER TOP OF IT.

SO IT'S REALLY A, A REBUILD OF THE ROADWAY FROM THE SUB BASE UP.

SO, UH, MM-HMM, , THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN TO WORK WELL AND WE CONTINUE TO WATCH IT AND, YOU KNOW, UM, MAKING SURE THAT IT LAST, UM, WE DID, OUR CREWS DID GO IN AND, UH, DO SOME FULL DEPTH PATCHING, UH, RE RE UH, REESTABLISH THE BASE MATERIAL IN A FEW SPOTS THAT WE HAD WERE PUMPING, UH, ONCE WE TOOK THE ASPHALT OFF.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL LAST PRETTY LONG AND GIVE US A MUCH BETTER RIDING SURFACE FOR SURE.

UH, SOME VDO ADMINISTERED PROJECTS.

WE HAVE H SIP HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, UM, FOR PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS AND THAT'S IN INSTALLING PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS ON ROUTE 1 34 AT FIRST STREET, INDIAN SUMMER DRIVE, LONG GREEN BOULEVARD, UH, THAT WAS AWARDED, UM, BACK IN, UH, MAY OF 2022, UH, CONSTRUCTION END DATE IS DECEMBER THE 16TH OF THIS YEAR.

UH, WE ARE LOOKING AT A PILOT, UH, PROJECT FOR MID BLOCK PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, AND THIS IS ON ROUTE 60 BYPASS JUST EAST OF THE COUNTRY IN, UH, THAT IS, UH, CURRENTLY IN DESIGN IS FINISHED, BUT, UM, WE'RE ALSO PARTNERING OR WORKING WITH YORK COUNTY, UH, WITH THE ROUTE 60 SIDEWALK REPAIR MM-HMM .

UM, SO ONCE THAT COMES THROUGH, UH, WE'RE GONNA DO THE MID BLOCK CROSSING PIECE OF THAT AS WELL.

SO, UH, IT'S GONNA BE SORT OF ONE FINISHED PRODUCT, UH, ONCE IT'S ALL DONE, UH, ASPHALT PAVING, UH, FOR THE YEAR, UM, MACK TRAIL, VICTORY BOULEVARD, GU NECK ORIENTA ROAD, WALLAM MILL ROAD CARRIES CHAPEL ROAD.

UM, WE ARE DOING SOME LATEX THIS YEAR ON, UH, PRIMARY IN THE COUNTY, AND THAT'S GONNA BE ROUTE 1 32, UH, BETWEEN 1 43 AND 60 BYPASS.

AND THEN A SECTION OF 1 32 THAT RUNS INTO THE CITY.

UH, THEY'VE GONE OUT AND DONE THE, UH, CRACK CEILING AND THEY'VE DONE THE LINE ERADICATION.

AND, UM, I WAS THINK IN ABOUT A WEEK, THEY'LL BE IN HERE TO START, UH, PUTTING LATEX DOWN ON THE ROADWAY.

SO PREVENTATIVE OVERLAY, UM, JUST MAKES A EXISTING PAVE, UH, LAST LONGER WE DID GO IN AND, UH, WE HAD ONE SECTION THAT WE DID A FULL DEATH PATCH ON, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ROAD IS COMPLETE.

SO, UH, PINMEN ROAD, GOVERNMENT ROAD, UH, ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS, UM, AND THAT'S PROOF OF SAFETY BY WIDENING PINMEN ROAD, ADDING BICYCLE LANES, ADDING CURB GUTTER, REALIGNING GOVERNMENT ROAD INTERSECTION.

UM, CURRENTLY, UH, IT'S IN THE RIGHT OF WAY PHASE, BUT WE'VE HAD SOME, UM, DELAYS DUE TO EASEMENT ISSUES WITH THE, UH, NAVY RAILROAD PARCEL.

UM, SO WE KIND OF WAITING ON THAT RIGHT NOW.

UH, WE ALSO, AS TIME HAS, UH, GONE BY, UM, WE'RE ALSO HAVING SOME FUNDING ISSUES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH WITH THAT PROJECT.

UH, WITH CREEK ROAD PROJECT, I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES,

[00:10:01]

IT WENT TO ADVERTISEMENT IN EARLY 22, UH, BUT THE, ALL THE BIDS WERE REJECTED BEING THEY WELL EXCEEDED THE ESTIMATE.

UM, SO THEY ARE GOING BACK AND WORKING TO ADJUST THE SCOPE AND DETERMINE WHAT THEY CAN DO, UH, TO ON THE PATH FORWARD TO GET THAT BACK OUT TO ADVERTISEMENT.

UH, SOME OPERATIONAL PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE IS HIGH SPEED CONNECT, UH, COMMUNICATIONS CABLES FOR THE SIGNALS ON 1 34, UH, HIGH SPEED SIGNAL COMMUNICATIONS FOR ROUTE 60 AND, UM, ROUTE 1 43, AND THEY'RE COMING THIS YEAR.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE COLEMAN BRIDGE BALANCE WHEEL PROJECT, UM, SCHEDULED FOR A NOVEMBER ADVERTISEMENT DATE.

AND THAT IS TO, UH, REALLY THE BALANCE WHEEL, UM, TRACK ANCHORS AND, AND THE GROUT REPAIR REPAIR, THE GROUT PADS BENEATH THE, UH, CENTER PIVOT AND, UH, BALANCE EVERYTHING BACK UP.

SO, UM, WE HAVE SMART SCALE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

UH, THE COUNTY HAS THREE ROUTE 17 WIDENING BETWEEN ROUTE SIX 30 AND ROUTE 1 73.

UM, MM-HMM , THAT IS STILL IN PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING PHASE.

PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD ON APRIL 28TH, 2022, UH, AND THE NEPA DOCUMENT HAS CLEARED AS WELL.

THAT ENVIRONMENTAL PIECE, UH, WE ALSO HAVE THE ROUTE 1 71 WIDENING BETWEEN ROUTE 17 AND 1 34 MM-HMM , UH, THAT ADDS A LANE FROM, UH, ROUTE 17 TO ROUTE 1 34 MM-HMM , UH, ADVERTISEMENT, UH, IS SEPTEMBER OF 2024 CONSTRUCTION IN THE PROJECT SCHEDULED TO START SOMETIME IN MARCH OF 2025.

UH, IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING, UM, UH, PRELIM ENGINEERING OR DESIGN APPROVAL PACKAGE, UM, PIECE OF THAT PHASE IN, AND THEN WE HAVE THE ROUTE 1 71 CAPACITY ENHANCEMENTS BETWEEN ROUTE 1 34 AND 1740 VICTORY BOULEVARD.

UH, THIS IS INTERSECTION TURN LANE, SHOULDER IMPROVEMENTS WITH SHARED USE PATH ALONG VICTORY BOULEVARD BETWEEN 1 34.

AND HEAVEN'S WAY, UH, PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING FOR THIS PROJECT IS, IS SCHEDULED TO START TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR.

AND A COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT IS SCHEDULED IN 2028.

SO IT'S AN OUT YEAR PROJECT FUNDING WISE, UH, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDIES.

WE, UH, DID LOOK AT, UH, PUTTING UP SIGNAGE, UH, FOR A PERSONS WITH DISABILITY AREA ON JESSICA DRIVE THAT WAS RECOMMENDED AND, AND DONE, UH, CROSSWALK REVIEW FOR, UH, LONG GREEN BOULEVARD AND TRISTAN DRIVE BLEVINS RUN THAT WAS RECOMMENDED.

IT HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED YET, BUT WE'RE GETTING TO IT.

UM, WE HAVE SOME, UH, ADA RAMPS THAT WE HAVE TO UPGRADE BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY PUT THE MARKINGS IN THERE, BUT, UH, THAT'S MOVING FORWARD.

UH, WE DID LOOK AT ROUTE 6 22 SEAFORD ROAD SPEED STUDY.

UH, THE SPEED ZONE CHANGES WERE NOT RECOMMENDED TO THE STUDY, UH, THE ROUTE 1545 VILLA WAY AND ROUTE 1531 MOUNT VERNON DRIVE SAFETY REVIEW, UH, CAME AN INSTALLATION OF CENTERLINE, PA MARKINGS AND POTENTIAL NEED, UH, FOR ADDITIONAL SCHOOL ZONE, WARNING SIGNS, UM, WERE NOT RECOMMENDED.

AND I HAD HAD SOME MEETINGS OVER THERE WHEN WE LOOKED AT THAT FOR THE STUDY AND THEN THE SAFETY REVIEW, ROUTE 17, UM, AT ARMORY LANE, UH, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THE PAVEMENT MARKINGS BEING REFRESHED, UH, RELOCATE THE STOP BAR TO IMPROVE SITE DISTANCE MM-HMM AND ALSO TO ADD, UH, STOP HERE ON RED SIGN, UM, AS YOU'RE COMING UP TO THE INTERSECTION.

AND THE LAST THING I HAVE THE REPORT ON IS OUR LAND USE ACTIVITIES.

UM, NOW THIS DOESN'T RUN THE WHOLE QUARTER, CUZ WE, OUR FISCAL YEAR GOES FROM JULY 1ST TO JUNE, UH, 30TH.

SO WE, UH, WE KIND OF START OUR TRACKING ON FISCAL YEAR.

SO JULY ONE TO AUGUST 24TH, OUR LAND USE SECTION HAS DONE NINE PLAN REVIEWS IN THE COUNTY.

UH, WE HAVE ISSUED 40 PERMITS, UH, FOR WORK ON THE RIGHT OF WAY AND WE HAVE COMPLETED OR CLOSED FOR THOSE PERMITS.

UM, SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR LAND USE AS OF, UH, AUGUST 24TH.

I THANK Y'ALL AND I'LL BE GLAD TO, UH, TAKE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AT THIS TIME.

IS A TA OR TAP, WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT, UH, UH, UH, FUNDED BDO, YOU KNOW, GOES THROUGH A VDOT PROGRAM, RIGHT.

AND I'LL SEE MY BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

SURE.

I SEE HANDS GOING UP.

WALK.

YEAH, A COUPLE OF COMMENTS, ONE I WANT TO, UH, KIND OF GIVE YOU A KUDO WITH RESPECT TO BYPASS ROAD AND THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE UP THERE TO PUT IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INCREDIBLY STRONG, GOOD LOOKING SIDEWALK AND BYPASS ROAD IN THE UPPER COUNTY IS THE SEED OF OUR COMMERCIAL GROWTH ECONOMIC GROWTH.

AND SO I'M SURE THAT IS A, UH, INVESTMENT BILL WELL DONE.

WELL THAT, THAT IS A SHARED KUDOS BECAUSE IT'S A, UH, YORK COUNTY ADMINISTERED PROJECT.

[00:15:01]

BUT THE, THE COUNTY IS THE ONE THAT'S ACTUALLY ADMINISTERING THAT PROJECT.

AND I AGREE WITH YOU.

IT'S UH, IT'S WELL, IT LOOKS GOOD.

UM, AND THEY'RE DOING VERY WELL.

I DON'T SEE HIM IN HERE THIS, THIS EVENING, BUT MR. BELLAMY'S PROBABLY PART INVOLVED WITH THAT PROJECT, BUT UH, KUDOS TO MR. BELLEVUE, ANYBODY FROM THE COUNTY WHO'S BEEN INVOLVED THERE, THERE IT IS DOWN THE TABLE.

ALMOST DIDN'T UH, RECOGNIZE YOU, MR. BE FROM THE CAMOUFLAGE YOU WERE, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

UH, NOW, NOW THE, THE, I HAD A CONVERSATION, UH, WITH, UH, OUR ADMINISTRATOR AND COMING INTO THE MEETING AND I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE PARK SERVICE AND HE SAID, HE'S GOT A RELATIONSHIP, BUT NOT ONE THAT HAS AUTHORITY.

WE'RE WE'RE HAVING A MEETING NEXT WEEK.

I THINK IT IS SUBJECT OF MY CALENDAR.

WHAT'S THE SUBJECT, A LOT OF THINGS, AS FAR AS THE PARK SERVICE AND THE COUNTY'S CONCERNED.

WELL, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT FROM THE VICTORY, UH, CENTER RIGHT ON OUT TO, UH, ALMOST TO JAMESTOWN THE PARK, THE PARKWAY, FEDERAL PARKWAY IS A DISGRACE.

UH, I MEAN, THEY'VE GOT POLE POTHOLES OUT THERE THAT I RIDE A RANGE RO UH, LAND ROVER MM-HMM AND THAT LAND ROVER ALMOST FALLS INTO THE POLE.

THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS, BUT IT'S A REAL DISGRACE.

AND I WAS HOPING THAT, UH, MR. CARROLL HAD, YOU KNOW, A RELATIONSHIP PROFESSIONAL WITH A SUPERINTENDENT WHEREBY HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE AS GOOD OFFICERS TO GET SOMETHING MOVING.

NOW I KNEW THAT WAS A FR QUESTION, BUT, UH, UM, ID LIKE TO BE PART OF THAT, I JUST STAND, WALK.

I'LL MAKE SURE YOU WITH SOME COMMENTS IN VEHICLE.

YES, DEFINITELY.

WALK.

THANK YOU, CHAD, UH, DIRECTOR CAROL.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IN THE REPAVING OF GOODWIN NECK ROAD, UH, WAS SOME RUMBLE STRIPS.

AND I BELIEVE THAT THE STUDY THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT HAD, UH, SUGGESTED THE, THE RUMBLE STRIPS THERE.

WE'VE HAD SOME REAL BAD ACCIDENTS, SOME HEAD ON COLLISIONS.

UH, WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THOSE RUMBLE STRIPS.

SO WE'RE WORKING, I HAVE TO RETROFIT THEM.

AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS, UM, I DID NOT, WHEN WE DID THE STUDY, OUR PAVEMENT CONTRACT HAD ALREADY BEEN LET, SO WE DO, UM, WE SUBMIT OUR PAVEMENT CONTRACTS ABOUT A YEAR IN ADVANCE.

SO WE LOOK AT A THREE YEAR PLAN, UH, THE PAVEMENT CONTRACTS GO OUT AND, UM, WE SUBMIT 'EM NOW THEY'RE ADVERTISED, UM, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER TIMEFRAME.

AND SO BY THAT TIME, THEY'RE ALREADY LET OR AWARDED, UM, AND FINALIZED.

UH, WE DID THE STUDY AFTER THIS ONE, SO WE'VE PAVED IT.

UM, SO I'M WORKING WITH OUR INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GROUP OUT OF THE DISTRICT OFFICE, UM, TO COME BACK AND RETROFIT, UM, THE CENTER RUMBLE STRIPS, LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT AND LIKE TO STUDY RECOMMENDED, RIGHT? UH, THE TIMING WISE ON IT WAS JUST THE CONTRACT HAD BEEN LET BEFORE.

AND, UM, WE HAVE A ONE CALL, YOU KNOW, FOR DISTRICTWIDE THAT DOES THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

IT'S JUST GETTING THE TASK ORDER OUT AND GETTING THAT AREA IN THERE.

GOTCHA.

NEXT QUESTION.

I WAS APPROACHED BY, UH, SOME RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE EDGE HILL SUBDIVISION AND, UH, THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS, UH, AND SOME IDEAS ABOUT POTENTIALLY PUTTING IN A, AS WE BUILD THE SIDEWALKS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET THAT CONNECT THE LIBRARY AND THE HIGH SCHOOL, UH, TO HAVE A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING MAYBE THERE, UH, BY COOK ROAD.

AND, UH, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE'LL LOOK INTO.

YEAH, WE'D HAVE TO DO A STUDY, SEE EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE USING THAT AREA, THOSE TYPE OF THING.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT IT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE, UH, WITH KIDS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT COULD BE ABLE TO WALK OR RIDE THEIR BIKES TO YORK HIGH, UH, AND SAFELY CROSS 17.

SO YEAH, IT'S CONNECTIVITY, ALL OF THOSE TYPE OF THINGS ARE PART OF IT, BUT TO MAKE LOOK AT IT, UN UNDERSTOOD, BUT, UH, KEEP, LET'S PUT THAT ON THE RADAR.

THE LAST THING IS YOU'VE MENTIONED, UH, NOW THIS TIME OF YEAR, WE GO FROM COLD PATCH TO HOT PATCH TO, IF YOU COULD TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE, UH, PATCHING, UH, THAT Y'ALL DO.

A POTHOLE WITH ACTUALLY ASPHALT.

UM, WE, WE PERFORM MULTIPLE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATCHING.

SO, UH, WE HAVE WHAT IS CONSIDERED AUL AND ROCK CHIP SEAL, TORN, ROCK, WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT.

UM, IT'S A TEMPORARY PATCH THAT WE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF GO TO A POTHOLE AND FILL IT UP TO ROAD LEVEL.

UH, IT, IT BONDS THE EMOTION OR, OR TAR BONDS WITH THE ROCK AND IT KIND OF HOLDS IN THERE.

UH, WE ALSO USE WHAT WE CALL PLANT MIX.

SO THAT'S PLANT MIXED ASPHALT MADE ASPHALT, UM, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD PAVE A ROAD, BUT WE WOULD COME IN AND SQUARE OFF THE PATCH OR DO

[00:20:01]

UM, AND THEN WE ALSO USE COAL PATCH.

NOW THIS IS MOSTLY USED.

UM, SO TEMPORARY, UM, THERE'S DIFFERENT TYPES OF, UH, COAL PATCH.

THERE'S AQUA FAULT THAT YOU CAN USE IN WATER AND WET SITUATIONS, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, BUT IT'S A TEMPORARY PATCH TO GO OUT AND, AND PATCH ROADWAYS.

UM, SO, SO THERE'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.

UM, THAT IS, WE USE THAT, UM, WHEN WE DON'T HAVE WARM HOT MIX, UH, AND WE DO NOT HAVE THE, THE INDOOR TRUCK, YOU KNOW, THE INDOOR PATCHING TYPE THING.

UH, WE USE COLD MIX.

UM, IT LASTS PRETTY GOOD.

THEY'VE COME A LONG WAY WITH THAT.

IT'S NOT AS, UH, BRITTLE, UM, AS IT USED TO BE DURING COLD WEATHER.

UM, BUT SO THAT'S HOW WE NORMALLY ATTACK IT.

HOWEVER, IF THERE'S AN AREA THAT, UM, IT'S NOT JUST A PAVEMENT ISSUE, A WATER ISSUE, A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL COME IN AND ACTUALLY SQUARE SAW CUT, DIG THAT AREA OUT.

MM-HMM , UH, PUT CRUSH AND RUN IN AS A BASE AND THEN COME BACK WITH ASPHALT AND, YOU KNOW, SQUARE PATCH TYPE THING.

SO IT'S JUST LOOKS LIKE PART OF THE ROADWAY.

UM, BUT YOU JUST SEE THE UTILITY PATCH, THE, THE SQUARE PATCH TYPE THING IN THE ROADWAY.

NOW, A COUPLE YEARS AGO, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT INFRARED PATCHING MM-HMM AND HOW IS THAT, UH, COMING? AND THOSE ARE THOSE SPOTS THAT YOU SEE THAT ARE, ARE SQUARED, BUT NOT DUG OUT.

THEY LIKE, THEY LIKE THAT.

UM, IT'S A, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS THAT ACTUALLY RECYCLES THE PATCHING MATERIAL THAT YOU HAVE.

UM, SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SORT OF ASPHALT, YOU CAN REHEAT IT, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T REHEAT IT FOR SO MANY TIMES, BUT YOU CAN REHEAT IT AND RESHAPE IT, REFORM IT, UM, AND ADD TO IT.

UM, BUT WE LIKE IT.

UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE, UH, USED QUITE A BIT IN THIS AREA, CAUSE THE MACHINE ITSELF IS THAT SEA AREA HEADQUARTERS.

SO, UH, OTHERS BORROW IT, BUT IT IS HOME IS HERE.

SO, UM, HAVING THAT AROUND GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DO THAT AS WELL.

BUT, BUT EACH, EACH TOOL HAS ITS OWN PLACE, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T WORK FOR EVERYTHING.

UM, BUT THANK YOU, MR. ROLAND, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING, STEVEN? YES.

UH, FIRST OF ALL, TELL YOU, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK YOU, YOU AND YOUR TEAM DO FROM THE CITIZENS.

YOU KIND KNOW THAT WE PASS ON A LOT OF THINGS TO YOU, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THE DETAIL VERY WELL.

UM, A COUPLE OF ITEMS I WANT TO COVER TODAY, THERE ARE STILL INTEREST IN SOME TYPE OF PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK IN THE GRAFTON AREA, FROM THE, UM, UM, HOMES ACROSS THE STREET, OVER, OVER INTO THE SHOPPING CENTERS.

AND I, AND I'VE SEEN PEOPLE ACROSS 17 UP AND DOWN THAT, THAT STRETCH MYSELF.

AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE CAN HAVE SOME TYPE OF EXTRA SAFETY THERE.

I KNOW ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS THAT THERE'S NO SIDEWALK THERE, SO KNOW WHERE TO CONGREGATE FOR A CROSSWALK, BUT I, I AM SEEING PEOPLE JUST RUNNING ACROSS 17 AND FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC AND A WIDE MEDIA STRIP.

IT'S GETTING A LITTLE DICEY.

AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU, IF YOUR TEAM COULD LOOK AT SOME TYPE OF OPTIONS, ALTERNATIVE WHERE WE CAN OFFER SOME TYPE OF SAFE FACE TO HELP THOSE FOLKS.

UM, THE OTHER ITEM IS THE SIGNAL AT, UM, YORK TIME ROAD AND VICTORY BOULEVARD.

YOU AND I CHATTED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SOME PLANS IN PLACE TO DO SOME REHABILITATION OF THAT INTERSECTION.

AND YOU MAY WANNA COVER THAT A LITTLE BIT WITH THE LATEST UPDATE, BUT FUNDAMENTALLY I'M WONDERING, RUNNING AN ISSUE THAT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN FOR YORK TIME ROAD, IT'S GREEN BOTH WAYS.

AND IF YOU'RE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND THERE'S ANY TRAFFIC THERE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE STUCK, I'VE BEEN INTO MYSELF AND ONE CAR MAKES IT THROUGH AND THEN YOU GET THROUGH THE RED CYCLE AND YOU'RE STUCK AGAIN.

IS IT EVEN AN OPTION TO JUST ALTERNATE, EITHER SIDE WHEN IT GOES GREEN TO PHASING? YEAH, WELL, WE ACTUALLY, UM, OUR SIGNALS ENGINEER IS ACTUALLY DOING THE MODELING FOR THAT NOW.

THEY'RE STILL, STILL WORKING THROUGH THE MODELING FOR THAT.

UM, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO GET TRAFFIC THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION.

IT'S A BUSY INTERSECTION.

UH, IT QUEUES UP VERY OFTEN, NOT JUST YORKTOWN ROAD, BUT ALSO VICTORY BOULEVARD AS WELL.

MM-HMM UM, SO YOU, YOU HAVE TO KIND OF TAKE AND IT, AND IT'S AM PM PEAKS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ALL, ALL THE TIME.

IT'S REALLY, DURING THOSE PEAK TIMES WHEN THE SCHOOLS ARE LETTING OUT AND, AND YOU GOT ALL THAT TRAFFIC COMING OFF OF 17 DOWN VICTORY ACROSS THE INTERSTATE, UM, GOING INTO PACOIN, UM, ARE, ARE COMING BACK OUT.

UM, SO RUNNING THOSE MODELS, WE'VE, WE'VE DONE QUITE OVER THE YEARS AND I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT INTERSECTION FOR WELL OVER 10 YEARS.

UH, WE'VE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS.

UM, BUT THE TECHNOLOGY'S GOTTEN A LOT BETTER HERE RECENTLY.

UM, WE HAVE THE ABILITY, UM, FOR A LOT OF OUR SIGNALS IS TO ALMOST, UH, CHANGE THE TIMING REAL REAL TIME.

UM, SO, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE RUNNING THE MODELS FOR THAT AND TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE BEST SOLUTION.

UM, WITH WHAT WE HAVE.

YOU CAN GET MORE THROUGHPUT.

SO I'M A LITTLE EARLY ASKING TO DO THE, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY MORE INFRASTRUCTURE, MORE LANES, YOU KNOW, HANDLES TRAFFIC.

[00:25:01]

RIGHT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'RE KINDA LIMITED TO WHAT WE CAN WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE, WHAT WE HAVE, BUT MAKING SURE THAT IT WORKING AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT.

LOOK FORWARD TO WHATEVER, WHAT YOUR MODEL COMES, COMES UP.

WE'LL GET THERE.

APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

UH, TOM, YOU HAD SOME QUESTION.

YEAH, JUST REAL QUICK.

UH, TALK TO, UM, UH, ROSSY BEFORE THE MEETING.

AND, UH, I JUST WANTED TO, UH, TELL HIM, UM, AND IF I MAKE IT KNOWN TO EVERYBODY, IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO WORK WITH A NEW SUPERINTENDENT AT THE SEAFORD OFFICE, HIS NAME IS, UH, WILL RAWS AND HE IS THE BEST I'VE SEEN GOOD.

THE GUY IS TOPNOTCH AND HE RESPONDS TO, UH, CITIZEN ISSUES RESPONDS TO SUPERVISORY ISSUE IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER.

MM-HMM , UH, YOU CALL UP, YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH SOMETHING AND HE WILL TALK TO THE RESIDENT.

I I'VE, UH, THIS IS, THIS IS JUST SOME TREMENDOUS, UH, UM, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND, UH, AND ROSSI, THANK YOU, UH, FOR, UH, MAKING THE DECISION ON, UH, WILL.

THAT'S GREAT.

IT'S GREAT.

IT'S NICE TO END ON A GOOD NOTE.

AND MY ADDRESS TOO.

YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE.

ONE 10 COVE, CRESCENT YORKTOWN.

NO, NO, NO, NO, WE DON'T ANSWER.

UM, I WANTED TO ASK YOU WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE PLACE TO DO THIS, BUT, UH, WHAT WAS YOUR REASONING IN THE RENOVATION OF RIVER WALK? HOW DID YOU COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO ANSWER? NOBODY WANTS TO ANSWER.

OH, I'LL TAKE, I'LL TAKE THE QUICK.

[00:30:01]

WE DON'T.

OH, THIS IS PRECIS COMMENTS ONLY.

OH, SO, OKAY.

I, THIS IS, THIS IS ANOTHER QUESTION, BUT WHERE ARE YOU WITH THE DOG PARK? ARE WE, ARE WE GETTING ANY CLOSER TO PUTTING IT IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN? ALSO? NO ANSWER.

WELL, I GUESS I'LL JUST TALK TO STEVEN THEN.

UH, NEXT ONE I HAVE IS, OH, TOM CHAMBERLAIN, CHAMBERLAIN, CHAMBERLAIN.

MY EYES ARE BAD.

HIS HAND HANDWRITING.

I JUST RECOGNIZE HIM AND THANKS FOR STAYING ROSSY.

CAUSE I GOT A COMMENT WITH, WITH YOU AS WELL.

UM, TOM CHAMBERLAIN, TWO 70 MARLOW ROAD, UM, JUST GOT A COUPLE QUICK THINGS AND I'VE BEEN TRAVELING, SO I'VE MISSED SEVERAL MEETINGS OVER THE LAST, UM, COUPLE MONTHS, BUT, UM, I BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE, BUT THE RAILROAD CROSSING ON LIGHTFOOT ROAD, YOU KNOW, AS WE KNOW, LIGHTFOOT ROAD IS, IS, GETS JAMMED UP A LOT.

AND THAT RAILROAD CROSSING HAS GOTTEN SO BAD NOW THAT EVERY CAR STOPS AND YOU VERY CAREFULLY EASY WAY OVER THE CROSSING.

SO WITH THE TRAFFIC BACKED UP, AS FAR AS IT IS, EVEN IF THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, YOU CAN'T GET TO THE LIGHT BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS EASING THEIR WAY OVER THAT, OVER THAT CROSSING.

IF YOU THINK THE PARKWAY'S BAD, IT'S NOTHING LIKE HOW BAD THAT THAT RAILROAD CROSSING HAS, HAS GOTTEN.

AND I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S, I WENT ON CSX AND FILED THE, THE FORMS THERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CROSSING.

I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THE COUNTY CAN DO OR THE, THE VDOT CAN DO.

AND, UM, SO I'LL ASK THAT.

THE OTHER COMMENT I GOT IS I WENT DOWN SPRINGFIELD ROAD THE OTHER DAY, UM, AND THAT HAS GOTTEN REALLY, REALLY BAD.

UM, THE HEAVY TRUCKS IN THERE HAVE BASICALLY CREATED TWO DITCHES ON, ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT ROAD WITH A HUMP IN THE MIDDLE.

SO ANYWAY, DOWN THERE WHO HAS A, A RELATIVELY LOW CAR IS GONNA REALLY STRUGGLING TO, TO GET TO GET DOWN THAT ROAD.

AND I'M NOT, I KNOW THERE'S PLANS TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT LATER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IN THE, IN THE INTERIM.

I KNOW SOME INTERIM STUFF WAS DONE THERE AND I KNOW I NOTICED THE, UH, LIGHTS WERE IN FOR THE FOLKS.

UM, AND THAT'S AWESOME.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

SO THE LAST THING I WANNA DO IS JUST, UM, SEE, YEAH, THANKS TO, UH, DEPUTY ROBINSON AND, UH, MAJOR MONTGOMERY WHO DID THE INVESTIGATION OF SOME INTIMIDATING EMAILS AND PACKAGES THAT, UM, THAT I RECEIVED AND, AND, UH, IF YOU'RE OUT THERE AND SENT THEM, YOU DIDN'T AFFECT ME.

SO I'M, UM, NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

I'LL STILL BE HERE.

AND, UH, BUT I APPRECIATE THOSE GUYS, UH, LOOKING AT THAT AND, UH, AND KEEPING ME INFORMED AS THEY WENT THROUGH IT TOO.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY REPORTS.

UM, NO, NO REPORTS UNLESS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NONE.

ASK THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS, MR. BEMAN.

THEN I'LL

[COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORTS AND REQUESTS ]

YES MA'AM.

MM-HMM, SUCH AS EMTI AND EMT P, WHICH IS PARAMEDIC, UH, MR. MORGAN AND CHIEF CHESKY WILL ANNOUNCE THOSE CHANGES AS THE DETAILS GET IRONED OUT.

I HAVE, UH, THREE ITEMS FOR YOU TONIGHT.

I WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT, UH, THE CONCERT SERIES RIVER RHYTHM ON THE RIVER WALL CONTINUES THIS WEEK, THURSDAY NIGHT FROM SIX 30 TO EIGHT 30.

THIS WEEK'S BAND IS BLUE TIPS, RHYTHM REVIEW, AND, UH, SOME OF THE FUTURE BANDS WOULD INCLUDE, UH, THE WHISKEY REBELLION AND GOOD SHOT.

JUDY, THEY'RE BOTH, UH, VERY POPULAR AMONG OTHERS.

SO IT'S A GOOD TIME TO BE HAD BY ALL THURSDAY NIGHTS.

THE OTHER THING, UH, COMMUNITY EVENT THAT I WANTED YOU ALL TO BE AWARE OF IS SUNDAY IS THE ANNUAL ART STROLL DOWN HERE AT THE RIVER WALK.

UH, IT'LL BE SUNDAY FROM 10 TO FIVE.

THERE'S MORE THAN 50 ARTISTS THAT WILL BE DISPLAYING, UH, THEIR PRODUCTS.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE GALLERIES UP HERE ON, UH, THE HILL AND, UM, DOWNSTAIRS ARE ALSO, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PROGRAMS FOR THE ART WEEK.

SO THEY'LL ALSO HAVE SOMETHING FOR FOLKS TO LOOK AT AND WE'D ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO MAKE A DAY OF IT AND GO VISIT ONE OF THE RESTAURANTS WHILE THEY'RE HERE AND HAVE A NICE DAY.

THE WEATHER ON SUNDAY IS SUPPOSED TO BE GREAT FOR WALKING AROUND THE WATERFRONT.

SO IT SHOULD BE VERY NICE.

SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE WEIGHTY.

I WANTED TO, UH, SHARE WITH YOU, UH, REGIONALLY THAT YOU, SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF IS THAT RECENTLY JAMES CITY COUNTY INCREASED THEIR CERTIFICATION INCENTIVES FOR FIRE AND POLICE.

MM-HMM , THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE DONE THIS.

YOU'VE SEEN HAMPTON IN THE PAPER TALKING ABOUT IT AS WELL.

SO COUNTY ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN MEETING WITH THE FIRE, CHIEF FINANCE AND HR TO DISCUSS WHAT WE MIGHT DO TO BE ABLE TO STAY COMPETITIVE IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY ARENA.

AND WITH REGARDS SPECIFICALLY TO FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY, WE BELIEVE THAT WE'VE BEEN MAKING SOME CHANGES TO THEIR MEDICAL CERTIFICATION.

[00:35:01]

BUT AS NEXT STEPS, WE ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE OTHER TWO LEGS OF PUBLIC SAFETY, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AND 9 1 1 AS WELL.

SO WE WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF THAT CONDITION THAT EXISTED IN THE LABOR MARKET RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL HAVE TO CHEW ON, UH,

[MATTERS PRESENTED BY THE BOARD ]

BOARD MEMBERS.

STEVEN, WOULD YOU LIKE THIS GO FIRST? SURE.

JUST, JUST REAL QUICK.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS AWARE THAT THE DECEMBER 22 PERSONAL TAX REBATE CALCULATOR IS ONLINE.

IT'S RIGHT OFF THE MAIN PAGE OF THE WEBSITE.

SO IF YOU WANT A GLIMPSE INTO WHAT YOUR, UH, THE ADJUSTMENT THAT THE COUNTY HAS WORKED ON TO MAKE FOR YOUR 20, 22 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX BUILT IN DECEMBER, GO TO THAT.

UH, THERE'S A WEALTH INFORMATION OUT THERE.

CHECK THAT OUT.

AND THERE'S, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S AN ONLINE CALCULATOR FILL IN THE BLANKS, HIT SUBMIT, AND YOU'LL GET A VERY GOOD ESTIMATE ON WHAT YOUR, WHAT YOUR 2022 REBATE WILL LOOK LIKE IN, IN DECEMBER.

YOU WILL NEED YOUR DECEMBER, 2021 AND JUNE, 2022 BILL IN FRONT OF YOU, CUZ SOME OF THE INFORMATION FOR THE CALCULATOR COMES FROM THAT.

SO HAVE THAT READY, BUT UM, TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, CHECK IT OUT, GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK, UH, HOW THAT, HOW THAT HELPS OR IF ANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT WE'LL MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE NEED TO, BUT SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS IS THERE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

THANK YOU, TOM.

YEAH, THE, UH, SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS.

UM, THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, UH, HAS AN AWARDS CALLED THE NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL AWARD MM-HMM .

IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 19, UH, 82 BY, UH, SECRETARY BELL AND THE, ESSENTIALLY THE AWARD WAS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY THE BEST SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES.

UM, IT HAS A FULL DIVERSITY OF, UH, OF THE SCHOOLS.

SO YOU GET ALL THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THIS CALCULATION, THE CHARTER SCHOOLS, THE MAGNET SCHOOLS, THE TITLE I SCHOOLS, THE NON-PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS, INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS.

AND THE THING THAT THEY'RE, UH, LOOKING AT THE FACT, UH, WHAT THEY SHOW IN COMMON WITH THE BEST SCHOOLS THAT THEY HAVE LEADERS THAT HAVE AN ACTIVE VISION OF EXCELLENCE.

THEY HOLD EVERYONE TO HIGH STANDARDS.

THEY STAY CLOSE TO THE ACTION AND THE, THE ACTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING.

UM, THERE'S A, THERE'S A CULTURE OF MUTUAL TRUST AND RESPECT AND, UM, AND THEY, AND THEY DO MENTORING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO HELP THE CHILDREN.

UH, AND I SAY CHILDREN, THE YOUNG PEOPLE, UH, TO MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE SUCCESS IN LIFE, DATA FROM THE, UH, AND, AND DRIVING THE, THE AWARD, THEY USE DATA FROM THE STATES AND, UM, AND THEY SUPPORT AND SEE HOW THEY'RE CLOSING THE GAP IN EDUCATION.

THE, HOW, HOW WELL SCHOOLS ARE DOING THAT, UH, STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE AND THE SCHOOLS THAT GET THIS ARE IN THE TOP, UH, 15% NATIONALLY, THERE'S A QUOTE ON THE PAGE WEBPAGE FOR THIS.

IT TALKS ABOUT HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOLS, THE SCHOOLS THAT MAKE GREAT STRIDES IN CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT GAPS AMONG THE STUDENTS IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA AND 2022 ONLY SEVEN SCHOOLS WERE GRANTED WERE GIVEN THIS AWARD NATIONALLY ONLY 297 SCHOOLS WERE GIVEN THIS AWARD.

THEN YOU PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, THERE'S SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20 AND 27,000 HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES FOR EVERY HIGH SCHOOL, THERE IS A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND FOR EVERY MIDDLE SCHOOL, THERE'S FOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

MM-HMM SO THAT'S QUITE A, QUITE A COMPETITION, RIGHT? WELL, I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT TAB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS, UH, WAS AWARDED THE BLUE RIBBON, THE BLUE RIBBON AS A BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL.

UM, WE'VE HAD TWO, UH, ONLY TWO, UH, IN THE COUNTY THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED THIS, UH, BEFORE WE HAD, I THINK GRAFTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS THE OTHER ONE MM-HMM SO THAT'S A TREMENDOUS AWARD.

AND, UM, AND IT TOOK, UH, IT TAKES THE, THE, THE STAFF, UH, INCLUDING THE PRINCIPALS.

IT TAKES THE SCHOOL STAFF.

IT TAKES THE PARENTS, THE TEACHERS, THE STUDENTS ALL WORKING TOGETHER AND, UM, THIS KIND OF AWARD UNDERSCORES.

WHAT MANY OF US ALREADY KNOW, UM, IS THAT YOUR COUNTY HAS THIS GREAT SCHOOL SYSTEM AND WHICH DRIVES EFFECTS SUCH AS PEOPLE WANTING TO COME INTO THE COUNTY, THE HOME VALUES, OUR SECURITY, OUR POLICE, AND IT HELPS ACTUALLY DRIVE THE COST OF US DOING BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT DOWN BECAUSE OF THAT.

SO ANY CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THAT? I THINK IT WAS WONDERFUL.

I AGREE, WALT.

I SAID TO MYSELF, WHAT'S YOUR COUNTY DOING TO PRECLUDE ANY OF THE CHICANERY THAT WE READ ABOUT? AND IF YOU EVER SAW THE, UH, DOCUMENTARY 2000 MULES, YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING AT.

UM, YOU KNOW, I WOKE UP, WOKE UP ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO AND I SAID, OH MY GOD, EIGHT NOVEMBER, THERE'S A GENERAL ELECTION.

AND

[00:40:01]

AND IN THE PAST, WE'VE HAD THE COUNTY'S REGISTRAR, WAL LATHAM COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND GIVE US A FEEL FOR, YOU KNOW, WHAT WHAT'S, WHAT'S HIS OFFICE DOING TO TIGHTEN UP OUR ELECTION PROCESS, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY FRAUD ASSOCIATED WITH OUR ELECTIONS.

AND HE, HE, REVEREND CAME BEFORE THE BOARD IN THE PAST AND LET US KNOW HOW WELL HIS DEPARTMENT IS DOING.

UH, THE CHAIR, SHEILA SAYS, I'M NOT SO SURE WE NEED TO HAVE WAL COME BEFORE THE BOARD BECAUSE HE'S REALLY AHEAD OF HIS GAME.

AND I SAID, SHEILA LOVINGLY, YOU MAY KNOW THAT HE'S AHEAD OF HIS GAME, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF MY PEERS ON THE BOARD KNOWS THAT, BUT THEN SHEILA SAID TO ME, SOMETHING I DID NOT KNOW, SHE SAID WALTS RECOVERING FROM COVID 19 AND IS STILL KIND OF ON THE MEND, UH, SHOWS UP AT THE OFFICE.

BUT AS SOON AS 17 AT FIVE O'CLOCK COMES, HE'S OUT OF THEIR BACK HOME, PROBABLY JUMPING IN BED TO TRY TO RECOUP SOME MORE.

THE WEATHER'S STILL WONDERFUL.

BUT THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS COMMENT IS WE HAVE GOT AN ELECTION IN APPROXIMATELY SEVEN WEEKS.

AMAZING.

AND I LIKE TO DESCRIBE HOW FAST THAT SEVEN WEEKS IS COMING UP ON US' CAR, BEATING DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE WE KNOW IT.

IT'S GONNA BE THE 8TH OF NOVEMBER BEFORE WE KNOW IT.

WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND VOTE.

HOPEFULLY THERE'LL BE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF NONSENSE THAT GOES ON FRAUD.

THAT GOES ON TO CAN THAT THAT GOES ON.

BUT YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS WHO WERE 18 AND ABOVE CAN'T VOTE, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, THERE'S PROBABLY NOT TOO MANY OF YOU IN THIS ROOM THAT, BUT EARLIER TONIGHT THERE PROBABLY WERE.

AND I WOULD JUST IMPLE YOU TO, WHEN YOU GO HOME TONIGHT, TALK TO YOUR PARENTS, REMIND THEM ABOUT THE EIGHTH IN NOVEMBER.

THERE MAY BE SOME ATTEMPTS, UH, BY VARIOUS ENTITIES TO PRECLUDE, ESPECIALLY OLDER PEOPLE WHO HAVE, UH, INTERNAL PROBLEMS, SUCH AS HEART AILMENTS OR LIVER, LIVER AILMENTS, OR OTHER KINDS OF THINGS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE PRECLUDE THEM FROM GOING TO THE POLLS AND VOTING.

BUT IT'S GONNA BE A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT, MAYBE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTIONS WE HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME.

AND, UH, I JUST WANNA LEAVE YOU WITH A THOUGHT THAT IF YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE, PLEASE VOTE.

AND IF YOU ARE NOT, BUT YOU'RE GOING HOME TONIGHT TO YOUR PARENTS, REMIND THEM, PUT A BIG RED CIRCLE AROUND THE 8TH OF NOVEMBER, BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE A CRITICAL VOTE.

UH, AND WE'LL SEE HOW THINGS GO.

SO THANK YOU CHAIR.

THANK YOU, MR. GREEN, UH, REITERATE A COUPLE OF THINGS, MR. BELLAMY TALKED ABOUT ALL THE FUN STUFF THAT WAS GOING ON IN YORKTOWN.

LET'S GET ON DOWN HERE ON THURSDAYS AND ON SUNDAYS FOR THE, UH, ART, UH, GET ON DOWN THERE.

IT'S GREAT.

SO GET ON DOWN THERE AND ENJOY, UH, YORKTOWN NEXT.

UH, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GIVE A CONGRATULATIONS OUT TO MS. NOLL OR CHAIRMAN AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THE STATE OF THE COUNTY ADDRESS.

UH, THAT WAS LAST WEEK.

IT WAS FABULOUS.

UH, IT MAY BE PROUD TO BE A RESIDENT OF NEW YORK COUNTY, AND THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE THAT I TALKED TO WHO LIVED IN SURROUNDING JURISDICTIONS AND THEY WERE VERY ENVIOUS OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON HERE IN YORK COUNTY.

UM, LAST I'D LIKE TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO TAB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHAT A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT, UH, SUPER AND I BELIEVE, UH, THE PRINCIPAL, MISS LUEGO, UH, IS WELL DESERVED IN HER, UH, AND HER AWARD.

AND THIS IS GONNA BE THE, I KNOW I SAID IT WAS GONNA BE THE VERY LAST, BUT, UH, WHEN PEOPLE COME UP HERE AND, AND TALK IT, THAT'S YOUR THREE MINUTES, IT'S NOT THREE MINUTES FOR, TO YOU ENGAGE MR. ZAREMBA OR MR. SHEPHERD.

IT'S YOUR THREE MINUTES TO SAY YOUR PIECE.

IT'S NOT A, AN OPPORTUNITY, UH, TO ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE.

UH, SO JUST REMEMBER THAT, UH, OFTENTIMES WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE COME IN FRONT OF THE BOARD, IT'S NOT A IT'S, IT'S YOUR THREE MINUTES.

IT'S YOUR THREE MINUTES TO TALK UN INTERRUPTED, WHICH, UH, IS GREAT.

I MEAN, COMPARED TO THE DIALOGUE THAT YOU SEE UP ON THIS BOARD, UH, I DON'T GET THREE MINUTES TO TALK INTERRUPTED BEFORE MS. NOLE OR MR. SHEPHERD ARE GIVING ME THE HOOK.

SO ANYWAY, REMEMBER THAT IT'S YOUR THREE MINUTES AND IT'S NOT A CHANCE.

IT'S NOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE THE BOARD.

IT'S YOUR THREE MINUTES TO TALK.

VOTE MADE A DIFFERENCE, AND OUR ELECTION BOARD IS REALLY SUPER.

AND I, I WILL MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT VOTING EVERY VOTE COUNTS.

MM-HMM , YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT IT IS TRUE.

AND IN YOUR COUNTY, WE HAVE AN ELECTION, ONE

[00:45:01]

YOU CAN COUNT ON THEM WITHOUT A DOUBT.

EVEN IN A RECOUNT, THE RECOUNT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE SAME.

SO I'M NOT LOOKING UNDER EDDIE ROCKS.

NOW IN ANOTHER SUBJECT, I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT QUEEN ELIZABETH WAS NOT OUR QUEEN THIS RIGHT HERE, BUT HER 70 YEAR REIGN OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO HER PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASSEMBLED TO US ALL.

AND ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US IN PUBLIC OFFICE, EXCUSE WHETHER IT BE ELECTED OR APPOINTED, WE'RE HERE TO SERVE YOU, NOT OURSELVES.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT HER LIFE REMINDS US OF THAT MAY SHE REST IN PEACE? AND LET'S SEE, DO I HAVE A FEW MORE MINUTES TO GO? SHOULD WE DO PART OF THE CONSENT CALENDAR CALENDAR? ALL

[CONSENT CALENDAR ]

RIGHT.

WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR BRIEFLY.

WE'VE GOT ITEM NUMBER THREES.

THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES.

FOUR IS THE FORMAL STRUCTURE FOR PROGRAM GOVERNANCE FOR THE YORK COUNTY HEADSTART CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.

AND WE DO THIS EVERY SINGLE YEAR AS WE DO NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS THE APPOINTMENT OF THE HEADSTART POLICY COUNCIL.

THEN WE HAVE NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS STREET ACCEPTANCE OF AAL PHASE ONE.

UH, ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS KINGS VILLA SEWER RELINING IN PHASE TWO.

NUMBER EIGHT IS GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.

NUMBER NINE IS THE COMMENDATION OF A RETIRING EMPLOYEE.

GEORGE LEE, NUMBER 10 ATION OF RETIRING EMPLOYEE, MICHAEL ELAM.

NUMBER 11 IS COMMENDATION OF RETIRING EMPLOYEE WILLIAM STALLINGS.

IS THERE ANY NUMBER THAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO PULL, DISCUSS? IF NOT, I'LL MOVE THE CONSENT.

THINK THE WE'LL HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

MR. SHEPHERDS, MOVE THE CALENDAR.

ROLL CALL, PLEASE.

THE MOTION MADE BY MR. SHEPHERD, MR. TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR AS SUBMITTED MR. ZBA.

THE BOARD IS IN RECESS RIGHT NOW.

IT WILL BE BACK.

UH, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IS BACK IN SESSION AND I

[1 Amend York County Code Sections 4-33 and 4-37, Dangerous and Vicious Dogs. Consider adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 22-7 to revise County Code Sections 4-33 and 4-37 pertaining to dangerous and vicious dogs to conform with the recent amendments to the Code of Virginia. a. Memorandum from County Administrator. b. Proposed Ordinance No. 22-7. ]

NOW THE FIRST ONE IS CONSIDER ADOPTION A PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER 22 DASH SEVEN, TO AMEND YOUR COUNTY'S CODE SECTIONS PERTAINING TO DANGEROUS AND VICIOUS DOGS, TO REVISE A COUNTY CODE, TO CONFIRM WITH RECENT AMENDMENTS.

AND I'M GONNA CALL ON THE COUNTY ATTORNEY FOR THIS.

I THINK WE, I KEEP THIS FAIRLY SHORT.

YEAH, IT WE'RE ACTUALLY A LITTLE LATE ON THIS BECAUSE THIS AMENDMENT, UH, TO THE STATE CODE WAS ADOPTED ACTUALLY AT ONE OF THE SPECIAL SESSIONS IN 2021.

IT JUST TOOK US A WHILE TO PLOW THROUGH IT, TO COME UP WITH A DRAFT, SIT WITH ANIMAL CONTROL, WHO ARE, WHO HAVE REVIEWED IT, AND THEY'RE HAPPY WITH IT.

UM, THE, THE, THE MODIFICATIONS ARE NOT OVERLY SUBSTANTIAL.

THERE IS A, UM, A, A DIFFERENCE IN THE DEFINITION OF DANGEROUS DOG.

UH, THERE IS A LONGER LIST OF REQUIREMENTS OF THE OWNERS OF DANGEROUS DOGS, UM, REQUIREMENTS TO HAVE INSURANCE, OBVIOUSLY TO KEEP THE ANIMAL PINNED UP, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

UM, MUCH OF THE CHANGE ACTUALLY IS THE STATE STATUTE WAS REORGANIZING.

WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS THERE ALREADY? AND SO WE HAVE ALSO THEN REORGANIZED OUR CODE SECTION SO THAT IT READS LIKE, OR VERY CLOSELY LIKE THE STATE CODE FOR COMPARISON, SO THAT SOMEONE CAN PICK UP IF THEY WANNA CHECK THE STATE CODE AND COMPARE IT TO OUR ORDINANCE, THEY CAN DO IT MORE EASILY.

AS TO, AS TO VICIOUS DOGS, THAT ACTUALLY IS A HIGHER LEVEL.

THAT'S THE ONE WHERE, UM, IF YOU HAVE A VICIOUS DOG, YOUR, YOUR DOG COULD BE ORDERED TO BE EUTHANIZED.

THERE ACTUALLY WAS NO CHANGE IN THAT, BUT BECAUSE OF THE REORGANIZATION, IT GOT MOVED AROUND WITH A NEW CODE SECTION ON IT.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE TO THAT ONE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THEM.

BUT THE, BUT THE TEXT, UH, EVEN OF THE STATE CODE GOES ON PAGES AND PAGES, LOTS OF STRIKE THROUGHS, LOTS OF ADDITIONS, BUT IT, BUT IT IS, IT IS NOT A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE.

UM, IN THE, IN THE THERE'S MORE DETAIL ADDED ON THE PROCEDURE AS TO WHAT THE COURT HAS TO FIND, AND THE PROCEDURE IS WHAT YOU KNOW, BUT, BUT THAT'S, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO KEEP UP A STATE CODE ON THIS ONE.

ANY QUESTIONS OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY? YES, I, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

UM, THIS IS MUCH MORE COMPREHENSION THAN THE REWRITES, MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE THAN WHAT WE HAD BEFORE AND BY AND LARGE LIKING EVERYTHING I'M SEEING IN.

I THINK IT OFFERS PROTECTION ON, ON, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE.

THERE'S ONE LINE ITEM

[00:50:01]

HERE, THOUGH.

I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED ON, MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME UNDERSTAND OR SHED SOME LIGHT ON IT.

IT'S IN RIGHT AT, RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING FOUR DASH 37.1, UM, SECTION A, UM, ACTUALLY SECTION SECTION B, UM, WHERE IT SAYS NO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OR ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS SHALL APPLY FOR SUMMONS, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

IF THE INCIDENT ORIGINATED ON THE PROPERTY OF THE ATTACK, IT OR BITTEN DOG'S OWNER.

NOW I, I SEE BENEFITS TO THAT.

SO SOMEBODY IS ON YOUR PROPERTY, NOT, THEY SHOULDN'T BE, AND THEY GET BIT, THEN THAT'S ON THEM.

BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE ON THE PROPERTY LEGALLY? WHAT IF YOU'RE, YOU'RE INSPECTING THE WATER METER OR SOMETHING AND, AND THE HOMEOWNER OR THE DOG OWNER IS NOT, UH, HANDLING IT SAFELY AND, AND THE PERSON GETS INJURED FROM THAT IS, UM, I'M ASSUMING SOMEWHERE THERE SOME, THERE MAY BE AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

HOWEVER, WE'RE COPYING THE STATE CODE AND THE STATE CODE SAYS, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS IN YOUR, YOU KNOW, AN ORDINANCE LIKE THE STATE CODE, YOU CAN, YOU CAN ADOPT ONE THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE STATE CODE.

UH, THAT MIGHT BE A GREAT QUESTION FOR THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I, AND I SEE THE POINT OF, OF WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

I'M JUST NOT SURE THAT, THAT I HAVE AN ANSWER FOR IT EXCEPT TO SAY, THIS IS WHAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY GAVE US.

NOW, BY THE WAY, IF, IF, IF, IF, IF THE ATTACK IS, IS A SERIOUS ONE, IF YOU LOOK, AND THIS, THIS IS THE LAST SECTION IN THE ORDINANCE, IT IS NOW RENUMBERED AS FOUR DASH 37.55 VICIOUS DOGS.

A VICIOUS DOG IS ONE THAT HAS KILLED A PERSON INFLICTED SERIOUS INJURY TO A PERSON, UM, UH, ET CETERA.

SO IF, IF I THINK IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE FINDING THAT THE DOG IS A CLASSIFIED AS A VICIOUS DOG AND WITH THE HARSHER PENALTIES TOWARDS BOTH THE ANIMAL AND THE OWNER AS A RESULT.

SO THAT, THAT, THAT WILL, THAT WILL BE SO EVEN IF IT OCCURS ON THE, UM, PROPERTY OF THE OWNER OF THE ANIMAL.

ALL, AND I LIKE THAT IT WAS LANGUAGE IN HERE THAT IF THEY'RE OFF PROPERTY, BUT THE DOG RESPONDING TO AGGRAVATION OR TRY TO PROTECT ITS OWN OR PERSON TO THEY'RE PROTECTIVE THAT CASE.

SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT IN THERE, SIR.

UH, THE NEXT ITEM IS TO CONSIDER ADOPTION A PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 22 DASH 1 42 SCHOOL CAPITAL PROJECT FINANCING TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF A GENERAL OBLIGATION SCHOOL BOND.

THANK, THANK, THANK YOU.

UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, IF NOT, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO CARE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? SEE, NONE I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING IS GREAT.

I'LL LIKE TO MOVE, UH, ORDINANCE NUMBER 27 DASH OR I'M SORRY.

22 DASH SEVEN WILL CALL PLEASE.

THE MOTION MADE BY MR. GREEN IS TO ADOPT PROPOSE ORDINANCE NUMBER 22 DASH SEVEN, JURY REVISED COUNTY CODE SECTIONS FOUR DASH 33 AND FOUR DASH 37 PERTAINING TO DANGEROUS AND VICIOUS DOGS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DIANE.

[2 School Capital Project Financing. Consider adoption of proposed Resolution R22-142 to authorize the issuance of not to exceed $21,436,000 General Obligation School Bond of the County of York to be sold to the Virginia Public School Authority. a. Memorandum from County Administrator. b. Proposed Resolution R22-142. ]

AND I WILL CALL ON OUR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, TERESA OWENS, GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

UM, TONIGHT WE HAVE TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE VIRGINIA PUBLIC SCHOOL AUTHORITIES, FALL BOND SALE.

UM, THE FINANCING IS FOR THE 22 AND 23 SCHOOL CAPITAL PROJECTS.

UM, A MAJORITY OF THE FINANCING IS FOR THE EXPANSION AND RENOVATION OF SEAFORD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THE YORK HIGH SCHOOL ROOF.

UM, THE RESOLUTION TONIGHT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT ALLOWS FOR THE ISSUANCE UP TO 21.4 MILLION, WHICH TAKE SHOULD TAKE PLACE ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 18TH.

UM, I LI I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT, UM, THIS IS HOW WE NORMALLY FINANCE OUR SCHOOL, UM, SCHOOL PROJECTS, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT MAY AFFECT THIS PARTICULAR FINANCING.

THE FIRST IS THAT WE NORMALLY BORROW THE YEAR AFTER WE, UM, ADOPT THE C I P THIS YEAR.

WE'RE ACCELERATING THAT BECAUSE WE FEEL THE INTEREST RATES ARE GONNA RISE AND IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO, UM, GO TO THE, THE BOND MARKET EARLIER.

THE OTHER THING THAT'S IN PLAY RIGHT NOW IS THE LITERARY FUND LOANS THAT, UH, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FUNDED IN THIS PAST, UM, SESSION, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THOSE INTEREST RATES ARE GONNA BE.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR INTEREST RATES ON THE, UM, FINANCING WILL BE.

SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AND KIND OF WAIT AND SEE APPROACH.

UM, WE HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER 4TH TO PULL OUT.

SO IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BORROW FROM THE LITERARY FUND LOAN, WE'LL TAKE THAT PART OUT MM-HMM OF THIS FINANCING AND BORROW THAT AMOUNT A LITTLE BIT LATER, IF IT, IF IT'S, UM, IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO DO SO.

SO WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS TO MAKE SURE WE OPTIMIZE THE TIMING, AND WE OPTIMIZE THE METHOD IN WHICH WE ARE GONNA BORROW, BUT THIS ALLOWS US TO DO THE FULL BORROWING.

SHOULD WE DECIDE TO DO IT? SO WE HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER, LIKE I SAID, OCTOBER 4TH TO PULL

[00:55:01]

IT OUT, PULL OUT WHATEVER WE DON'T WANT TO BORROW.

MM-HMM UM, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE WE INFORM THE BOARD IF IT, IF WE GOTTA DO THAT.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE TREASURE? NOPE.

ONE, ONE REAL QUICK, JUST CLARIFICATION.

SO WE'RE BORROWING THIS MONEY EARLY MM-HMM SO THAT WE MAY SAVE MONEY ON OUR INTEREST RATE, WHICH WILL IN TURN, SAVE US MONEY IN THE LONG RUN, POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE LONG RUN.

THANK YOU VERY, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, IF NOT, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO CARES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? SEE NONE.

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD? I WILL MOVE OR 22 THERE'S 1 42.

NOW WE HAVE ONE ITEM FOR NEW BUSINESS AND IT'S TO CONSIDER THE ADOPTION A PROPOSED RESOLUTION, R 22 DASH ONE 50, WHICH IS THE CANCELLATION OF THE OCTOBER 18TH, 2022 REGULAR MEETING OF THE YORK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

ROLL CALL, PLEASE.

THE MOTION MADE BY MR. ZBA IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 22 DASH 1 42 TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF A GENERAL OBLIGATION SCHOOL BOND TO BE SOLD TO THE VIRGINIA PUBLIC SCHOOL AUTHORITY.
