Executive Director

Call to Order: Vice Chair Rick Randolph called the Commission meeting to order. The order of the

agenda was revised, since a quorum was not established until later in the meeting.

Matters from the Public:

Public Comments: None

Staff Presentations:

• Public Hearing on 5 Year Consolidated Plan and 18-19 Action Plan for HOME & CDBG: Billie

Campbell briefed the Commission on the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan, using the memo, Gap

Analysis for the Charlottesville MSA, Stakeholder Discussion Notes, and Survey Responses included

in the meeting packet. The purpose of this public hearing is to receive input on housing and community

development needs. The process to date has included the compilation and analysis of data, review of

existing plans and reports with sections on housing, meetings with stakeholders, a public survey, and a

public meeting held March 20. The key issue identified through data and input has been high housing

cost burden. Renters and owners are considered cost-burdened if they spend more than 30% of income

on housing costs; spending over 50% of income on housing is considered severely cost-burdened.

There is a physical shortage of units affordable to households earning less than 30% of the Area

Median Income (AMI). Households with incomes over 30% AMI occupy most of the rental units

affordable to this <30% AMI population. There are enough existing units to meet the need of

households with incomes between 30% and 50% AMI, but most of these units are occupied by

households with lower or higher incomes than needed to afford these units, creating an effective

shortage. Renters are more cost-burdened than homeowners, but for both groups, cost burden if the

most pressing issue. Other needs identified are rehabilitation and preservation of affordable units, both

rental and owner-occupied, development of new homes, and rental and down payment assistance.

Rick Randolph opened the public hearing. There were no comments from the public. The public

hearing was closed. Commissioners shared their comments on housing in the region. Jesse Rutherford

noted that Nelson County’s population was not growing. Job opportunities and transportation are key

factors connected to affordable housing. Tony O’Brien added that zoning has a big impact on housing.

The burden on homeowners related to development needs to be appropriate. Young families can

struggle with housing costs. Housing assistance can help. Bob Babyok commented that public

resistance based on Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) thinking can block projects from gaining approval

to move forward. Jesse Rutherford noted that manufactured housing is being shot down in counties. A

recent housing proposal in Greene County was turned down, due to its location along the 29 Corridor

on land identified in the Comprehensive Plan as business use.

• I-64 Study Presentation: Wood Hudson used PowerPoint slides to brief the Commission on the

recently completed SHRP2 Interstate Corridor Plan and circulated some Draft copies of the plan. The

second round of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) focuses on four areas--safety,

renewal, reliability, and capacity, and has been a significant source of funding for TJPDC. SHRP2

funds were used for the Ecological Project completed in 2011 and supported work for the Long Range

Transportation Plan adopted in May 2014. The 2016 award provided $100,000 for the I-64 Corridor

Plan. This project utilized PlanWorks, a web-based decision support tool to improve collaborative

decision-making. This was a project of the Charlottesville Albemarle Metropolitan Organization

(CAMPO) and demonstrated what works in smaller MPOs. For this project, CAMPO worked with the

Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro MPO, three VDOT Districts, and five localities. Public safety (fire and

rescue and state police) were also involved as well as the Department of Rail and Public Transportation

(DRPT). Work utilized the PlanWorks Corridor Planning Toolkit, completing six of the 9 key steps.

The Working Group met six times throughout the process, looking at safety, congestions, land use,

economic development and the environment. There was one public Open House during the process and

two joint MPO meetings with CAMPO and SAWMPO. The project was selected as a SHRP2 case

study, and the team has been asked to come to DC to participate in a presentation, looking at

innovation in the planning process. In the area of safety, the project examined crash severity and

concentration, wildlife crashes, and congestion. The plan included a detailed list of recommendations.

One recommendation is to create a Park & Ride lot west of exit 107 in Crozet. Transportation to the

Port of Virginia passes through this area, and the corridor may be designated as a freight corridor. Bob

Babyok asked how future growth was factored in and noted that Louisa is just off the project area map.

Wood responded that the Route 15/I-64 Intersection was a key interchange to handle new growth. A

list of the 29 plan recommendations was included in the presentation. Two recommendations addressed

truck climbing lanes, but there is not much roadway available and slopes are steep, making these

expensive projects. Commissioners expressed appreciation for the presentation and congratulated the

team on the invitation to make a presentation of the project in DC.

• 2018 Legislative Update: David Blount reported that the 2018 General adjourned its 60-day session on

March 10, without an approved budget. The GA will return to Richmond April 11 to begin a special

session to address the state budget. The Governor has until midnight on April 9 to finalize his

recommendations on bills approved by the legislature. The General Assembly will reconvene for a

one-day (“veto”) session on April 18 to consider the Governor’s changes to bills. David noted that the

Broadband Advisory Council was extended for one year, the Center for Innovative Technology (CIT)

has been charged with examining a “dig once” policy for the state, and the federal spending bill

approved in March includes $600 million for Broadband in the Infrastructure package, as part of

USDA's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) program. None of the multiple bills introduced to address the

shortcomings of the proffer law were passed, but a couple were carried over and there may be some

sentiment to re-visit this issue in the near future; however, movement by the Home Builders

Association is needed. Bills extending impact fee authority to all localities were put off and will be

discussed over the summer; some local officials have expressed interest in testifying on this issue. Bob

Babyok noted that the House of Delegates created a select committee to study school safety, to review

state and local policies on school security and make recommendations for the 2019 legislative session.

Finally, David said that Delegate David Toscano introduced a resolution commending the TJPDC and

its localities for efforts on broadband expansion, and we are trying to schedule him to present it to the

Commission in May or June.

Consent Agenda: The consent agenda consisted of the draft minutes of the March 1, 2018 meeting and

Financial Reports for February 2018. On a motion by Andrea Wilkinson, seconded by Bob Babyok, the

Commission unanimously approved the Consent Agenda, with Tony O’Brien, Tommy Barlow, Robert

Babyok and Ernie Reed abstaining on the minutes.

New Business:

Delivery of FY19 Draft Operating Budget: Billie Campbell reminded Commissioners that the TJPDC

budget process includes three actions during the year: a forecast budget in October to serve as the basis for

locality requests; an operating budget in May, as required by the Bylaws; and the final budget late in the

fiscal year as the final budget for financial reporting and the audit. The Draft Memo and FY19 Budget are

in the packet as an information item. Action on the FY19 budget will take place at the May meeting.

Appointment of a Nominating Committee: Rick Randolph relayed appointments made by Chair Gennie

Keller: the Nominating Committee will consist of Andrea Wilkinson, Tommy Barlow, and Gennie Keller.

Executive Director’s Report: A written report and a spreadsheet with information on current projects

were provided in the meeting packet.

Other Business:

Update on Regional Housing Program: Christine Jacobs gave a brief presentation on the Regional Housing

Partnership (RHP). Membership includes representatives from the Public Sector, Private Sector, and

Nonprofit Sector. The Steering Committee has been formed and has met. Their feedback indicated that

there were a lot of parallel efforts, most of which are specific to Charlottesville. There was consensus that

housing is a regional issue calling for a regional approach. The RHP will organize work groups, focus

groups, and summits to move work forward. The process is a cyclical one: TJPDC staff prepares agendas

and meeting packets, convenes the RHP meeting, facilitates regional discussion, prepares meeting minutes,

and proposes drafts of deliverables. The RHP provides feedback to TJPDC staff, proposes ideas, meeting

topics and housing benchmarks, suggests Housing Summit focus, and participates in focus groups. TJPDC

interprets the feedback from the RHP, coordinates activities/studies, develops the benchmarking

dashboard, coordinates Regional Housing Summits, takes meeting minutes, and provides updates to the

RHP. The RHP engages in regional communication around results of activities/studies, participates in

Housing Summit, utilizes studies and benchmarks in practices, provides feedback, proposes new ideas, and

reports to the TJPDC. Next steps will include convening work groups/focus groups to identify specific

needs and making a presentation at the May TJPD Commission meeting. This will include the Framework

as an Action Item for the Commission. The Framework will include the RHP’s overview, purpose,

function, funding, membership, meeting schedule, deliverables, and timeline. Keith Smith commended

Christine for her work and noted that the RHP needs to achieve something actionable.

TJPD Commissioner Roundtable Reports:

• Nelson: Jesse Rutherford reported that the county is working on a GO Virginia application to

development a curriculum for training in the food and beverage industry, which supports 20 to 40

high-paying jobs in the County, on par with Napa Valley. This is a niche market that is critical to

Nelson County’s economy. Other funding streams are also being pursued, including CDBG.

• Fluvanna: Tony O’Brien reported that the County has approved a new plant at Zion Crossroads for LG

Corporation, to recycle auto parts. This represents an $8 to 10 million investment with a new building

and employees. This success is a reflection on the County’s efforts to attract new businesses. There is

some concern and opposition to the water and sewer system. A plan to protect surrounding uses is

being developed, with a buffer of 75 feet around new facilities. Keith Smith used the roundtable

opportunity to provide a handout and update on the Thomas Jefferson Community Land Trust (TJCLT)

project in Charlottesville. TJCLT recently held a kick-off event to introduce the project to the

community.

• Greene: Dale Herring reported that about 75 people attended the Open House for the Ruckersville Plan

held on March 29. The plan will be considered by the Planning Commission in May and by the Board

of Supervisors in June. The FY19 County Budget has been presented, but not yet been voted on. The

proposed budget does not include a tax increase, but some fees are increasing to fund new projects.

Out-of-date radio towers are causing problems for first responders.

• Louisa: Tommy Barlow announced that the North Anna Power Station has been in place for 40 years.

The construction of the facility included damming the North Anna River to create Lake Anna. This has

significantly helped the Louisa County economy and has been a safe operation. There is no timeline

yet for the third reactor.

• Albemarle: Rick Randolph reported that the County has hired Roger Johnson as its new Economic

Development Director. The County is working to prioritize areas to receive broadband service. The

County is financially supporting Habitat for Humanity’s work to redevelop Southwood Mobile Home

Park, without displacing current residents. There is some opposition to the stormwater utility fee; the

program has not yet been presented to the Board of Supervisors. There has been discussion on both the

commercial and residential side regarding open air burning, which is an environmental issue. It has

been challenging to retain volunteers working in fire and rescue, and the County is now offering

incentives to volunteers. Revenue from the Transient Occupancy Tax has decreased. The location of

the County courts remains in the discussion process. The recently completed Recreational Report

provides insight for the County Department of Parks and Recreation on Biscuit Run and Hedgerow

parks.

• Next Meeting: The next meeting is scheduled for May 3, 2018 in the Water Street Center.

Adjournment: On a motion by Jesse Rutherford, seconded by Bob Babyok, the meeting was adjourned.

NET REVENUE is the surplus or shortfall resulting from monthly revenues minus expenses. The FY18 Operating 

Budget adopted in March 2018 projects a surplus of $83,785 for the year. There was surplus in March of 

$2,238. The February surplus was slightly overstated and has been corrected. The resulting year‐to‐date sur‐

plus of $83,330. This nearly reaches the budgeted target, with three months remaining in the fiscal year.  

NOTES 

1. Target is a reasonable expectation that the TJPDC may reach this level to achieve our long range finan‐

cial goals. A plan will be developed showing how these target goals are expected to be achieved 

through daily financial management practices.  

2. Concern is a level where staff will immediately identify causes of the change in financial position, 

whether this is a special one‐time circumstance caused by a financial action or whether a trend is 

emerging caused by one of more operational or financial circumstances and prepare a plan of action to 

correct or reverse the trend. 

3. Back up documentation and details of this Financial Dashboard can be found in the monthly financial 

statements of balance sheet, income statement and cash position statement supplied to the TJPDC 

Commissioners.  

4. The average monthly operating expense is a rolling twelve‐month average of operating expenses 

(TJPDC costs minus pass‐through and project contractual expenses).  

5. TJPDC achieved its FY17 goal of exceeding $500,000 in Net Quick Assets before the end of the year. 

The Commission has earmarked some of TJPDC’s reserves for a building or capital fund, tied to Net 

Quick Assets.

MEMORANDUM

To: TJPD Commissioners

From: Chip Boyles, Executive Director

Date: May 3, 2018

Re: Recommended FY19 Budget and Work Program

Purpose: The Annual Operating Budget and Work Program sets forth the anticipated work, revenue and

expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year, July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.

Background: The TJPDC Bylaws state that the “budget and work program for the ensuing fiscal year

shall be approved by the Commission at or before the regular meeting in May.” These documents are also

required for submission to the Department of Housing and Community Development, along with the FY18

annual report. The budget may be amended by the Commission at any Commission meeting.

Issues: The Work Program incorporates the Scopes of Work approved by the MPO and the TJPDC for the

urban and rural transportation programs, as well as the housing activities identified in the HOME Action

Plan. The Scope of Work also includes activities reflected in the Ride Share Work Plan. Other activities in

the Work Program were added by program managers.

Projected revenues for FY19 are $2,185,477, and projected expenditures are $2,185,477. This budget and

work program covers the period from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. This is the recommended preliminary

operating budget for FY 2019. The final budget will be provided in early 2019 for Commission

consideration at the March meeting, at which time we will have more definitive revenues identified for

FY19. Should expected revenues not materialize in the first half of FY19, staff would present the

Commission with a plan to decrease expenditures for the second half of FY19.

The Finance Committee met prior to the May Commission meeting to select a budget to recommend to the

Commission for adoption at the May Commission meeting. The draft provided in April allows all

commission members to offer input to the Finance Committee and/or TJPDC staff. The April draft was

revised to include a very recent notice of a $50,000 contract with DEQ to perform Watershed

Implementation Planning services in FY19. This contract will remove the need to prior years’ retained

earnings at this time. It also allows the removal of some of the proposed grant revenues that are subject to

award. We have kept in place the Regional Economic Development Strategy and the Regional Housing

Analysis projects to apply for funding.

Staff’s goal is to have positive net earnings each fiscal year and to have each fiscal year’s budget stand

alone with no use of prior year’s retained earnings until our optimal retained earnings are reached. If the

previous three fiscal years are an indication, we should be able during this fiscal year to balance our

budget and not use prior years’ reserves. A long-term goal is to build retained earnings, first to a safe level

maintaining six months of average operating expenses available for immediate use if needed, and secondly

to save for use toward the purchase of a future office building, and third to have resources available to

Page 14: Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission Thursday, May 3, …tjpdc.org/media/Entire-Packet-commission-may-2018.pdf · 2018-04-26 · WHEREAS, Louisa County received a Department

take advantage of regional project grants that require a local match. Now that we safely have six months

of operating funds in savings, using cash reserves is less risky.

FY18 has been very good so far with expected retained earnings of approximately $ 83,785. FY18

retained earnings through March exceed $83,330.

Revenue: The proposed budget reflects funding for the proposed work program, drawn from the

documents identified above, with some figures included for potential projects not yet awarded or under

contract. At this point in the year, TJPDC does not have a full commitment of local funding, awards or

contracts for FY19. Funds included reflect recently awarded projects and estimates of potential projects

that have a very high likelihood of being awarded. Staff includes only potential funding sources that we

are very sure will be awarded.

• Locality revenue is shown based on member assessments adopted at the October, 2017

Commission meeting and reflected in budget requests. Not all of the localities have taken action on

budgets at this time.

• State Revenue - We are optimistic that once a state budget is approved, that funding through

DHCD will remain at the FY18 level of $75,971. PDC’s have received this amount for several

years and is in the current state budget draft.

• At this time, all locally requested funds are included in submitted local budgets including RRBC,

Rideshare and Legislative Liaison funding.

• Charlottesville-Albemarle MPO funding reflects allocations through FTA, VDOT and DRPT for

FY19 of $279,017. Local match is required of $ 31,003.

• RideShare funding of $139,258 which is consistent with prior year funding levels.

• The amount of HOME funds that will be available for the coming year has not been provided to

TJPDC at this time. Staff is projecting level funding from FY18. Based on that figure staff is

anticipating $45,691 for administration and $411,216 in pass-through revenue and expenditures for

the HOME program. The new Presidential Administration has proposed a budget that greatly

reduces this funding for future years. This should not affect our FY19 budget but may be

eliminated in FY20 and future budgets. We have chosen to not make any budgetary changes until

final federal changes are known.

• Savings has increased for the TJPDC from our move to the Virginia Investment Pool resulting in

an increased earned interest income expected to be $ 6,000 from $2,500 previously.

• Office and Water Street rental income is expected to remain constant at $ 10,200.

• The VDOT TAP Grant for 5th Street Station bike/ped improvements will continue through FY19.

$472,310 has been budgeted for final design and construction.

• Though not awarded yet, we have included the Housing Preservation Grant for $ 54,338. We have

been awarded this program for three years and expect to receive for this fourth year.

• The TJPDC is contracted to assist with VDOT’s Hydraulic Planning Study into FY2019 in the

amount of $12,248. These are local funds contributed from Charlottesville and Albemarle.

• Staff continues to provide plan review assistance to Albemarle County in an amount expected to be

$ 33,167 in FY19.

• Not budgeted is an expected continuation of the Albemarle Pilot Community Assessment report.

Staff will complete the pilot in FY18 and is expected to contract for additional neighborhoods in

FY19.

• Other possible funding sources not budgeted at this time include: Yancey/Scottsville CDBG project

and the Lovingston Downtown Revitalization planning grant, Albemarle County CDBG assistance,

and local government comprehensive plan assistance.

Expenses: Staff estimates of expenses reflect retention of 13 staff/positions we expect will be in place on

July 1, 2018.

• Agency expenses, excluding personnel and contracts with outside entities, are generally based on

FY18 expenditures.

• This FY19 forecast budget includes 2% staff salaries increase effective July 1st. Excluding the

Executive Director, a 2% raise would cost an additional $11,553 and $1,750 in benefits.

• The TJPDC Retirement through Virginia Retirement System reduced our contribution based upon

our FY18 assets from .0335 of salaries to .021. This saves the TJPDC approximately $9,518 in

FY19.

• Including $11,850 in intern salaries for assistance, if needed, for the Cherry Avenue, Albemarle

Community Assessment, Louisa/Nelson Comp Plan, Watershed Plan, Housing and the CEDS

projects.

• Health insurance premiums have increased by 9.2%. This increased expense is being borne equally

between the TJPDC and employees. TJPDC continues to provide 100% of individual employee

premiums. Couple premiums increase $ 38 per month for the employee and family premiums

increase $55 per month for the employee. This is the first increase in 3 years. Additional costs to

the TJPDC from FY18 to FY19 due to the premium increase and employee coverage changes is an

additional $8,649.00.

• We anticipate to begin to experience a decreased indirect cost rate in future years. (This is a good

thing) We have begun to charge staff time including indirect costs to per capita funding when the

activity can be directly tied to a member government project or directly tied to a regional project.

In the past, many of the activities were billed under general administrative duties, driving up our

indirect cost rate. This policy change also allows TJPDC staff to decrease services to local

governments when equitable per capita funding is not met by a local government. Current Indirect

Cost Rates have decreased from 89% in FY14 to 72% in FY19.

• Increases of 3% are budgeted for rent.

THOMAS JEFFERSON PLANNING DISTRICT COMMISSION Summary of Activities

January through March 2018

Environment: TJPDC submitted the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) to the Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) for approval on March 6 and received notice of Approval Pending

Adoption (APA) on March 14. The final step in the process is to submit adoption resolutions from all

localities in the Planning District to FEMA. The Town of Scottsville was the first jurisdiction to approve

a formal resolution of adoption at their March 19 meeting. TJPDC is working with localities to get this

on meeting agendas to complete the process. The plan as submitted for FEMA review is posted on the

TJPDC website at http://tjpdc.org/environment/hazard-mitigation-plan-2017/.

TJPDC received formal notification of acceptance of the 5-Year Update of the Thomas Jefferson

Planning District Commission (TJPDC) Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) on February 13,

2018. The update was initially submitted to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in October

2016, with requested follow-up information provided in January 2018. The Thomas Jefferson Solid

Waste Planning Unit (SWPU) includes the City of Charlottesville and the Counties of Albemarle,

Fluvanna, and Greene. The SWPU is required to maintain the mandated minimum 25% recycling rate of

the total municipal solid waste (MSW) generated annually. The 2017 recycling report is due to DEQ by

April 30, 2018. The rate for 2016 was 33%. The 2018 report is due April 30.

Housing:

TJPDC and the City of Charlottesville are updating the five-year Consolidated Plan, guiding

the use of federal HOME funds for housing in the region and Community Development Block Grant

(CDBG) funds in the City of Charlottesville. Over 500 people responded to a survey to identify housing

and community needs. TJPDC also hosted a public meeting on March 20 to present findings from data

analysis and the survey, and to receive input on five-year goals. The Draft Consolidated Plan was issued

for public comment on March 28, with comments accepted through April 27. The plan includes an

assessment of local and regional affordable housing and community development needs and establishes

multiyear goals based on identified needs. The Draft Plan and materials from the March 20 public

meeting are posted at http://tjpdc.org/housing/5-year-consolidated-plan-update/.

Legislative Liaison: The Legislative Liaison spent most of this quarter at the General Assembly. Activities included

lobbying locality-requested bills and other legislation of interest and concern to PDC localities; regular

communications with TJPD legislators; phone and email communication with local government officials

and monitoring of all budget and legislative activities. During the session, he provided periodic updates

through legislative newsletters and alerts posted on the TJPDC website and sent out by e-mail. The

session adjourned March 10 without taking action on a state budget for FY19/20, so the legislature is

reconvening in special session beginning April 11. The budget is being held up over the issue of

expanding Medicaid; a majority of the House favors a limited expansion, while the Senate majority is

opposed to expanding health care coverage at this time.

The liaison planned a January workshop on alternate forms of infrastructure financing, which

was attended by local state and elected officials. He also led discussion on legislative matters at the

January meeting of the Mayor & Chairs/CAOs meeting. Following the regular session, the liaison

worked to review and analyze approved legislation for inclusion in a final summary of the legislative

session.

Local/Regional Support: The TJPDC has been spearheading work with Greene County on the Ruckersville Area Plan. A

final open house for the plan was held on March 29 to provide interested community members an

opportunity to provide input on the draft area plan recommendations. About 75 people attended the

event, which included an overview presentation and posters throughout the room that illustrated the

recommendations made in the draft report. The final document will be a 10-year plan of specific action

items the county and the community can take to move Ruckersville toward its vision. The study includes

both the Route 33 and Matthew Mill Road intersections with Route 29, and contains 26

recommendations in the areas of community, economic development, land use, infrastructure and

transportation.

TJPDC staff met with residents of Charlottesville’s Fifeville neighborhood on March 25 to mark

the official start of the neighborhood’s involvement in the community-driven effort to craft a small area

plan for the Cherry Avenue corridor. Residents were invited to attend the event to tell their stories

about Fifeville’s past, express their values, voice their concerns, and share their hopes for where they

think the neighborhood should go in the future. The gathering started with a brief introduction to the

planning process and then residents broke out into smaller groups for storytelling. At the conclusion of

the event, the roughly 35 attendees were encouraged to sign up to help participate in future public

engagement efforts, request an in-person interview with staff, and volunteer to assist with a “Better

Block” demonstration event to be conducted this summer.

The Charlottesville Albemarle MPO has been helping to coordinate a small area plan effort for

the Hydraulic/29 intersection and Hydraulic Extended South. These projects are in the next phase of

Route 29 Solutions, for preliminary engineering and small area planning. The Hydraulic 29 Small Area

Plan Advisory Panel met March 23 and recommended a traffic scenario that involves a grade-separated

intersection, similar to the intersection of Route 29 and Rio Road, that would depress Hydraulic Road

under Route 29. Construction costs are estimated at $63 to $80 million, plus about $5.2 million for

utility relocation.

The TJPDC continues to provide plan review services to Albemarle County. Three TJPDC

planners are providing 40 hours of contractual work per week. Services include the review of site plans

and subdivision plats for conformity with the codes of Albemarle County and the Commonwealth of

Virginia.

The Charlottesville Area Alliance (CAA) made a presentation on “Becoming an Age-Friendly

Community” at the February 14 meeting of the Senior Statesmen of Virginia (SSV), held at the Senior

Center. JABA Executive Director Marta Kean served as the moderator. Panelists included Brad

Sheffield, Executive Director of JAUNT, talking about Transportation, Sunshine Mathon, Executive

Director of Piedmont Housing Alliance, speaking about Housing, Rebecca Schmidt, Population Health

Manager for the Thomas Jefferson Health District, addressing Community Health and Aging, and Peter

Thompson, Executive Director of the Senior Center, discussing Civic Participation and Employment. At

the conclusion of the presentation, SSV President Rich DeMong called for a vote on the resolution for

the SSV to became a partner member of the Charlottesville Area Alliance, and the resolution passed

unanimously. This brings the total of regional partners to 18. Other partners include: The Alzheimer’s

Association, City of Charlottesville, County of Albemarle, Cville Village, Hospice of the Piedmont,

Home Instead Senior Care, JAUNT, Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA), Piedmont Housing

Alliance (PHA), Region Ten, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UVA, Senior Center, Sentara

Martha Jefferson Hospital, the Thomas Jefferson Health District, the Thomas Jefferson Planning District

Commission (TJPDC), University of Virginia Health System, and Westminster Canterbury of the Blue

Ridge. CAA’s vision is that “The greater Charlottesville area will be the most age-friendly community

in the country.”

On March 15, TJPDC conducted the pre-construction conference for the Demolition of Four

Buildings in the Columbia area in Fluvanna County. At the meeting, the demolition contract between

TJPDC and Shelbeck Excavating LLC of Scottsville was signed. This project is funded with $149,625 in

federal funds through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), $39,900 of state funds

through the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), and $9,975 in local funds from

Fluvanna County. Work for the project has included appraisals, survey, title search, property acquisition,

Asbestos-Containing Materials Inspections Report, in addition to the demolition and site restoration

work now under contract. FEMA carried out the environmental review work, resulting in the Record of

Environmental Consideration (REC) dated August 14, 2017. The former Town of Columbia is eligible

for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and the demolition of two of the buildings

would result in an adverse effect to the district. FEMA undertook measures including updating survey

photographs of the buildings as well as the online database with Intensive Level (Phase II) survey forms

for each subject property in the historic district and a general Preliminary Information Form (PIF) for the

historic district. The land will be restored to green space, and is deed-restricted to open space,

recreational, wildlife habitat, or wetland uses in perpetuity. Demolition work is expected to be complete

by the end of June.

Transportation: The TJPDC hosted a public meeting on March 15 to present the proposed layout of the multi-

use trails for the 5th Street Hub and Trails project. The locations, presented by design consultant Land

Planning & Design Associates (LPDA), were based on stakeholder input. The constructed trails will link

multiple neighborhoods and resources in the Fifth Street/I-64 area of Charlottesville and Albemarle, an

area that is central to a network of walking and bicycle facilities in the jurisdictions. TJPDC serves as

the project sponsor for this project, which is funded through a Transportation Alternatives Program

(TAP) Grant. The project budget includes $399,880 of federal funds, and $200,000 of local funds from

the proffer agreement for the 5th Street Station development, which also provides some dedicated land

for the project. The project contract calls for construction to be complete by October 1, 2020. A project

web page has been set up at http://campo.tjpdc.org/5th-st-hub-trails/.

The Regional Transit Partnership (RTP) Board met February 28 to review FY19 Transit

Budget requests from Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT), JAUNT, and RideShare. The RTP also

encouraged the General Assembly delegation to take action to reauthorize the use of Capital Project

Revenue bonds, approved in 2007 to provide $600 million over 10 years for transit capital, and to

identify funding for local and regional transit programs across the state. CAT, JAUNT and RideShare

presented a report for the month of February to provide an update on existing transit options serving and

the City of Charlottesville and Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson Counties. The

RTP began meeting in August 2017 as an advisory body, with specific review responsibilities to include

route changes, budgetary matters and transit education.

RideShare:

RideShare is working to reduce traffic congestion and increase mobility throughout Central

Virginia and the Central Shenandoah Valley. March 5-9 was Virginia Telework Week. In partnership

with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), RideShare encouraged

employers and workers to visit Teleworkva.org to learn about the benefits of teleworking, get help

setting up a pilot program or expand on an existing program, and take the 2017 Telework Week pledge.

RideShare provides Telework support and is available to help you learn more about this eco-friendly

work option. RideShare also helps to develop and market the region’s Park and Ride lots. Currently,

there are 26 Park & Ride lots serving central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley. RideShare conducted

its quarterly Park & Ride inventory in late March.
