WHEREAS, Mr. Charles H. Roth Jr. retired May 1, 2007 after providing more than twenty-seven years of dedicated and faithful service to Chesterfield County and Chesterfield County Public Schools; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Roth began his service November 12, 1979 as an automotive technician for Chesterfield County Public Schools; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Roth served as automotive technician, in the Department of General Services, Fleet Management Division for fourteen years; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Roth has seen the county bus fleet nearly double its present size of almost 600 buses; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Roth always performed his duties and responsibilities in a professional manner, and placed the welfare and safety of the children and operators of Chesterfield County Public Schools and fellow county employees above his own; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Roth was instrumental in helping maintain a 95 percent daily school bus availability rate.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, this 27th day of June 2007, publicly recognizes Mr. Charles H. Roth Jr. and extends appreciation for his more than twenty-seven years of dedicated service to the county, congratulations upon his retirement, and best wishes for a long and happy retirement.

Mr. Miller presented the executed resolution and a Jefferson Cup to Mr. Roth, accompanied Mr. Pitaro, thanked him for his dedicated service, and congratulated him on his retirement.

Mr. Micas summarized 2007 General Assembly legislative changes requiring Board action, as well as optional legislative changes permitting Board action, and provided staff’s recommendations for the legislative changes. He provided details of the legislative changes relative to establishing a “photo-red” traffic light enforcement program and providing for real estate tax relief for the elderly and handicapped program to provide for prorated reduction in real estate taxes if one of the property owners is not eligible. He stated the county’s practice for many years has been to allow property owners, with one person qualifying for tax relief, to be eligible for the tax relief program in its entirety. He noted that the prorated tax relief would not apply to a spouse who might not be eligible, but would apply to a son or daughter.

In response to Mr. Miller’s question, Mr. Micas stated the legislative change is mandated if the locality has a tax relief program.

In response to Mr. King’s question, Mr. Micas stated there will probably be some unhappy taxpayers when they receive a larger than anticipated real estate tax bill.

Mr. Sowder inquired about the number of Chesterfield taxpayers impacted by this legislation.

Mr. Jeff Mincks, Deputy County Attorney, came forward and stated he does not think a large number of citizens will be impacted by the legislation because, in most cases, the non-qualified person in the household is the spouse, and the legislation would not change the full qualification of those properties.

Discussion ensued relative to enforcement challenges in determining the number of unrelated persons in a single-family dwelling and to increased penalties for violation of the county’s erosion and sediment control ordinance.

Mr. Sowder inquired whether the three-year real estate tax relief program puts Chesterfield in a competitive position with Henrico County.

Mr. Micas stated the legislative change only increases the maximum qualifying net worth for the county’s tax relief program.

Mr. Ramsey noted that staff’s recommendation is to take no action now on the legislative change relative to the maximum qualifying net worth because this is typically done during the budget process. He noted the Board has already adopted the county’s tax relief program for the current year.

On motion of Mr. King, seconded by Mr. Warren, the Board directed staff to prepare ordinance revisions: 1) to amend the county’s spot blight abatement ordinance to provide that the lien that is placed on blighted property which has been improved at public expense will bear interest at the legal rate of interest provided by state statute; 2) to consider amending the courthouse security fee ordinance to increase the fee from $5 to $10 per criminal or traffic case; 3) to consider amending the County Code to increase civil penalties for violation of the county’s erosion and sediment control ordinance; 4) to consider an amendment to the county’s ordinance regulating the carrying of loaded firearms on public highways to limit application of the ordinance to certain persons who are carrying loaded firearms for the purpose of hunting; 5) to consider exempting one motor vehicle owned or leased by a police officer (local and state), deputy sheriff, salaried firefighter and salaried emergency medical technician from the payment of the county’s vehicle license fee; and 6) to consider an amendment to the county’s real estate tax relief for elderly and handicapped program to provide for pro-rata relief in cases where a dwelling is owned jointly by qualifying and non-qualifying individuals.

And, further, the Board referred to the Planning Commission for recommendation the legislative changes relative to: 1) amending the county’s ordinance provisions governing the processing of subdivision plats and site plans to include new state requirement to forward plats/site plans to the Virginia Department of Transportation and other applicable state agencies for review; 2) amending the county’s zoning ordinance to modify the regulation of farm wineries; and 3) amending the zoning ordinance to increase penalty for violation of zoning provisions restricting the number of unrelated persons (4 persons) in a single-family dwelling.

And, further, the Board referred to the Building Inspection and Budget Departments for recommendation the legislative change relative to amending the County Code to provide that energy-efficient buildings will be taxed at a lesser rate than other real estate; and referred to the Police Department for recommendation the legislative change relative to amending the County Code to establish a “photo-red” traffic light enforcement program at selected intersections within the county.

And, further the Board took no action at this time on the legislative change relative to increasing the maximum qualifying net worth for the county’s tax relief for the elderly and handicapped program, and added an item to the 2008 Legislative Program to allow full tax relief in joint ownership situations.

Mr. Ramsey stated the General Assembly amended the “Northern Virginia” impact fee authority to the point that, staff believes if the Board chooses, the road impact fee legislation will work for Chesterfield County. He further stated the work session was placed on this agenda, hoping that the modeling would be completed to provide a number that staff believes could be justified for the impact fee. He stated staff is still working on the model and wants to make sure the information provided to the Board is correct. He further stated staff is recommending that the Board defer until July 25, 2007 the work session relative to road impact fees, as well as the agenda items appointing members to the Impact Fee Ordinance Advisory Committee and referring this issue to the Planning Commission. He stated the Board can suspend its rules to consider the deferral of Items 8.B.3. and 8.D.5. at this time.

On motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. King, the Board suspended its rules at this time to consider the deferral of the following items at this time: Item 8.B.3., Appointments to Impact Fee Ordinance Advisory Committee; and Item 8.D.5., Refer Impact Fee Road Improvement Plan, Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Impact Fee Ordinance to Planning Commission for Recommendation in Sixty Days.

On motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. Sowder, the Board deferred the following items until July 25, 2007: Item 6.B., Work Session Regarding Road Impact Fees; Item 8.B.3., Appointments to Impact Fee Ordinance Advisory Committee; and Item 8.D.5., Refer Impact Fee Road Improvement Plan, Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Impact Fee Ordinance to Planning Commission for Recommendation in Sixty Days.

Mr. Micas stated the existing Board must set salary maximums for the Board of Supervisors for the 2008-2011 term prior to July 1, 2007. He further stated, for the past four terms, the Board has used the practice of providing salary adjustments for Board members commensurate with the adjustments given to employees on an annual basis.

On motion of Mr. King, seconded by Mr. Sowder, the Board established salaries for the 2008-2011 Board of Supervisors with adjustments commensurate with the adjustments given to employees on an annual basis, not to exceed $32,429 on January 1, 2008; $33,889 on January 1, 2009; $35,414 on January 1, 2010; and $37,008 on January 1, 2011.

And, further, the supplements of Chairman and Vice-Chairman remain unchanged at $3,150 for Chairman and $1,575 for Vice-Chairman.

On motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. Miller, the Board suspended its rules at this time to allow for simultaneous nomination/appointment/reappointment of members to serve on the Senior Connections Board, Board of Building Code Appeals, Impact Fee Ordinance Advisory Committee, Economic Development Authority for the County of Chesterfield, and the Health Center Commission.

Mr. Sowder stated the streetlight request for the Brighton Green Subdivision is to be located on property not owned by the requestor, and several of the neighbors are opposed to it.

Mr. Sowder then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Miller, for the Board to deny the streetlight installation request in the Midlothian District in the vicinity of 9519 Ashton Court in the Brighton Green Subdivision.

And, further, the Board approved the following streetlight installations in the Michaux Creek Subdivision in the Midlothian District:

He stated the business which he owns, King’s Korner Enterprises, Incorporated, leases space from Dominion Aviation and operates the King’s Korner Restaurant and catering business at the Airport and noted that his business’ lease is to some degree dependent on maintaining uninterrupted traffic at the Airport. Mr. King then declared a conflict of interest under the Virginia Conflict of Interest Act regarding Item 8.D.16.
