Equalization:

William E. Fenstermacher Patricia J. Snyder 6710 Muggins Creek Road 6595 Pocahontas Lane Gloucester, VA 23061 Hayes, VA 23072

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

handouts if any)

NATHAN BROWN – WARE DISTRICT

Mr. Brown asked the Board to take a look at the Machinery and Tools Tax. He

stated that it is difficult for some small businesses to track machinery and tools. He

asked that the Board review the tax to determine if changes can be made to make it

fair and easier for the businesses.

NEAL KRIETE – YORK DISTRICT

Mr. Kriete stated that the Governor’s office had directed him to speak to his local

Board of Supervisors. He further stated he was a victim of federal financial fraud. He

noted that the violation of his rights occurred in Hanover County and Louisa County.

He encouraged the Board to see how he was treated in Hanover County at the Board

meeting by looking at the video of October 28. He reviewed the issues he had been

having and the offices he had contacted in order to try to obtain help.

DON MITCHELL – YORK DISTRICT

Mr. Mitchell spoke in opposition to the request for a scenic river area in

Gloucester on the York River. He stated that this is another outreach by Agenda 21 to

begin to take property in the United States. He noted that the resolution sets up a

committee that is not accountable to the citizens. He further noted that there is an

important segment of people who have not been considered and who were not asked

about this issue. He stated that property owners have rights.

VII. Scheduled Presentations A. Presentation of the Click it or Ticket Award - Melanie Stokes -

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles

Ms. Stokes, Occupant Protection Coordinator for the Department of Motor

Vehicles (DMV) Highway Safety Department, reviewed that Click it or Ticket is an

enforcement and media campaign conducted every year. She noted that the annual

awards remind us of the hard work that the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office does on

the front lines every day. She reported that agencies are grouped by DMV district and

number of sworn officers. She stated that Gloucester is in the Tidewater District and

Page 18: December 1, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · Certificate of Recognition is also being presented to Stephanie Tinsley,

December 1, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -18-

is up against a lot of big law enforcement agencies. She advised that law enforcement

agencies across Virginia received the most improved awards for reporting a significant

increase in the pre-seat belt use survey and the post-seat belt use survey. She

reviewed that the pre-survey is conducted and then after the two weeks of enforcement

and education the post-survey is conducted. She stated that Gloucester Sheriff’s

reported pre-survey seat belt rates of 77% and post-survey results of 84%. She further

stated that this outstanding 7% increase was one of the largest across the State. She

advised this significant increase signifies the extra effort and hard work of the

Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office during the two week campaign. She stated that

Virginia’s overall seat belt rate is only 80.9% compared to Gloucester’s 84% rate. She

noted that this increase resulted in the Click it or Ticket Most Improved Award for the

Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office. She congratulated Sheriff Warren and presented

him with the award.

B. Presentation of 2015 Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge Award - Dana Schrad - Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police

Ms. Schrad, Director of the Virginia Association of the Chiefs of Police, stated

that the Chiefs Association had been conducting the Virginia Law Enforcement

Challenge for over 20 years. She further stated that nationally Virginia has become a

State known for the professional efforts of its law enforcement agencies in highway

safety. She advised that this is the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office 2015 Virginia

Law Enforcement Challenge 1st place Award in the category of Sheriffs with 46-60

deputies. She reviewed some of the efforts of the Sheriff’s Office to achieve the award.

She stated that the first effort was their consistent, proactive approach to combating

impaired driving. She reviewed the steps the Sheriff’s office followed and noted that in

the past year there were 85 arrests for DUI (Driving Under the Influence). Although

this was a slight increase in arrests from the past year, there was a decline in the

number of alcohol related crashes and injuries, and there were no alcohol or drug

related fatalities in 2014.

Ms. Schrad advised that another area that the Sheriff’s Office was successful in

was the area of occupant protection. She noted this includes seat belt use and also

child safety seats. She stated that there were 28 saturation patrols performed. She

also stated that during day time check points the Sheriff’s Office teamed up with the

Abingdon Ruritan Club to provide stuffed animals to children who were properly

restrained. She noted that as a result by the end of 2014 Gloucester’s seat belt usage

had increased to 83% which is a point above the State average.

Ms. Schrad stated that the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office has also taken a

proactive approach to reducing the number of speeding violations. She reviewed their

efforts and noted that there was an overall decline in the number of speeding and

reckless driving tickets as well as a decline in vehicle crashes. She stated that she was

proud to present the 1st place Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge Award to Sheriff

Warren and the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Warren thanked Ms. Schrad and Ms. Stokes. He stated that the Sheriff’s

Office started the traffic safety unit in 2012 and it was spearheaded by Captain Shield.

He noted that there are 12 deputies whose secondary duty is traffic safety. He advised

that they wanted to target aggressive and impaired driving and to educate. He noted

that he was glad to accept the award for the 2nd year in a row. He thanked the Board

for adding the presentation to the agenda.

Mr. Chriscoe thanked Sheriff Warren, Captain Shield and the deputies for their

hard work and efforts to keep the County safe for its citizens.

C. Presentation of Government Finance Officers Association

Distinguished Budget Presentation Award - Sanford B. Wanner - Interim County Administrator

Mr. Wanner read a letter from the Government Finance Officers Association

awarding Gloucester County the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the

current budget. The letter stated that the award is the highest form of recognition in

governmental budgeting and represents a significant achievement. It noted that a

Certificate of Recognition is also being presented to Stephanie Tinsley, Director of

Financial Services.

Mr. Wanner advised that this is a very big award in local government.

Mr. Chriscoe called Ms. Tinsley forward and read the Distinguished Budget

Presentation Award and presented it to Ms. Tinsley. He congratulated her and her

staff for the excellence they have brought to the County.

Ms. Tinsley stated she was pleased to have achieved this award for Gloucester

County. She thanked the Board, leadership, department directors and constitutional

officers for their efforts.

VIII. Regular Agenda A. Scenic River Designation Resolution - Sanford B. Wanner - Interim

County Administrator

Mr. Wanner reviewed that the Board had heard a presentation in February on

the Scenic River Designation project and agreed to participate in a river survey. He

stated that the survey was completed by the Department of Conservation and

Recreation (DCR) in July. He noted that to have a portion of the York River declared

as a Scenic and Historic River the General Assembly must pass legislation. He advised

that a letter was received in October from DCR noting that if the Board wished to

continue both York and Gloucester Counties must pass a resolution of support. He

stated that the York County Board of Supervisors will also be considering an almost

identical resolution at their meeting this evening. He then stated that if the

resolutions are adopted, each locality would contact its Delegate and Senator to

request that they serve as patrons of the legislation. He advised that DCR provided an

overview of what the designation does not do and reviewed those items noting that the

designation does not give the State control over land use, it does not carry any land

Page 20: December 1, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -1- AT A ...gloucester.granicus.com/DocumentViewer.php?file=... · Certificate of Recognition is also being presented to Stephanie Tinsley,

December 1, 2015 Board of Supervisors Meeting -20-

use controls, and it does not give the public any right to use privately owned land. He

stated that the resolution before the Board was very mindful of the Board’s desire that

commercial and recreational activities were protected and that property rights were

respected.

Mr. Meyer proposed modifying the language in the resolution to read that the

designation will not apply additional constraints or limitations on its citizens.

Mr. Wanner proposed adding “on its citizens or on the use of the river for its

citizens” to add Mr. Meyer’s language to the resolution.

Mr. James stated that he had a problem with people outside of the County

telling us what we can do with our river.

Mr. Wanner noted that the Board will have the ability to appoint a citizen on the

advisory committee.

Mr. Orth stated that he has watched the York River change over the last 45

years. He noted that the river is used by so many different people. He stated that the

waterways are Gloucester’s greatest asset and this would draw people to come to

Gloucester. He noted that he thinks this will put Gloucester in the spotlight and he

thinks it is a good move.

Mr. Orth moved, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to approve the resolution as amended.

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

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

IX. County Administrator Items

Mr. Wanner advised that the Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department has

been conducting a needs assessment survey. He noted that certain citizens of

Gloucester will be receiving a needs survey in the mail in January. He stated it was

important for citizens to respond as it will let the Board know what the citizens think

we need as a County as far as Parks and Recreation programming. He encouraged

those who receive the survey to respond. He stated the survey is to help with decision

making by the Board. In response to a question, he indicated that a series of seven

focus groups had been held and the survey is still to be conducted. He noted that they

will likely receive results sometime in March.

Mr. Bazzani asked how they will ensure a random sampling of citizens for the

survey.
