Mayor Fosque opened the Public Hearing at 7:20P.M.  Mrs. Fiege stated that according to State Code the Town is required to have al Public Hearing on keeping the tax rate the same due to this year's increase (8.2%) in Accomack County's assessed value of real property, excluding additional assessments due to construction ori improvements to property. The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate taxes as last year, when multiplied byt the new assessed value of real estate, with the exclusions mentioned would be $0.30 per $100.00 ofassessed value. She stated this rate will be known as the lowered tax rate. The Town of Onancock proposes to adopt the tax rate of $0.32 per $100.00 of assessed value that the Town has had for the last three years. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed tax rate would be $0.02 per $100.00 or 8.2%. This difference will be known as the effective tax rate increase. Mrs. Fiege stated based on the proposed real property tax rate and changes in other revenues, the total budget of the Town of Councilmember Bloxom thanked Mrs. Fiege for her explanation and wanted residents to understand that this is not ai tax rate increase but taxing on the new higher assessed values and most localities are Mayor Fosque asked if the property rate assessments went upi for every property in Town. He stated he  Onancock will exceed last years by 0.08%.  doing this due to budget constraints. had some properties that did not change. Mayor Fosque asked if there were any comments.  Mrs. Fiege received a comment via email from residents Kitty and Frank Hall of 14 Meadville Drive stating; "That it was not possible to critique the budget in detail without being able to ask questions including follow-ups to ther responses. However, the Town is taking advantage ofa, usually dubious, certainly imprecise, change in assessments to grab an 8.2% increase fori its' budget revenue. The estimates for many budget categories have been changed because of the COVID -19 situation but when it comes to taking money from the taxpayer, such as doubling the garbage tax fori instance, there appears to be no sympathy, much less a concern, for the situation of the individual citizens. You may be able toj justify each line item but an 8.2% increase, in these times, appears irresponsible. An 8% decrease  would have seemed more appropriate." Mayor Fosque asked ift there were any comments. be voting on the budget until the. June 22, 2020 meeting.  Mayor Fosque closed the Public Hearing at 7:25 P.M. He reminded everyone that the Council would not d. Public Hearing on the proposed FY 2021 Budget-Interim Town Manager, Lisa Fiege  3    Mayor Fosque opened the Public Hearing at 7:26 P.M.  Mrs. Fiege stated that we would: start with employment cost changes. There is no cost-of-living adjustment for staff ini the FY 2021 Budget. There isa a 4.8% increase to the cost of the Town's Health Insurance Premium. There is a0.03% increase to the Town's Life Insurance Rate. There isa a2 2.37% decrease to the Town's' VRSrate. There is a 2.01% increase in the Town's State Unemployment Rate. The following items were specifically reduced in the projected revenue for FY 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic: Tax Penalties, Local Sales Tax, Business License Tax Fee, Transient Occupancy Tax, Meals Tax, Traffic Fines, Boat Dockage Transient, and' Wharf Gas Sales. We did al big chop to the budget, with expectations of some of them 35-40% of reduction in what we normaily could expect in revenue in those linei items. The real estate rate taxi increase is going to increase our revenue by $30,000 dollars if we keep the same tax rate. Utility Tax is expected to increase 9% in the budget that isi in front of the council. Due to a re-classification of a payment the projected budgeted amount is too high, it will need to be brought back to $55,000. Three expenditure line items have been identified to be reduced to account for this change. Our Bank Stock Taxe expectation for FY 2021 was decreased by 9% due to the change of our bank in town and due to this change we are not sure what their deposits on hand will be, which is how they calculate what we receive annually from them. The Cellular Tax rate for FY 2021 was decreased 6% based on last year's actuals versus current year's actuals. The Trash Collection Fee expectation was increased 180% due to the requested change in what the town will be chargingi its residents for that service. Itis currently $4.00/month and we are asking that it be raised to $8.00/month. Last fiscal year it was $10.00/month. Even at $10.00/month we are not collecting the actual costs for that service. Tax revenue is still subsidizing a portion of that. Building and Zoning Permits was increased 175% due to a council decision to increase the rate of special use permits and collect the cost for the advertising fees, as well as thei initiation ofa $25 fee for all zoning permits. Currently thet town does not charge for these zoning permits. Interest on Certificate & Accounts are expected to increase in FY2021 due to the previous year's actuals. Last year the town moved alli its investment accounts from SunTrust to interest-Dearing accounts with VML investment pool. Wharf Grants is up, we have a projection to get money from the Virginia Port Authority for the boat ramp repair along with duckbill installation. We also applied for a grant from the Boating Infrastructure Grant for general maintenance as well as advertising. Then we also have a grant which is new for FY2021 for plantings at the Samuel Outlaw Blacksmith Shop. These are the changes in revenue that were predicted for the coming year. Mrs. Fiege asked if there were any questions about the changes in revenue. Councilmember Krause asked Mrs. Fiege, in relation to the Local Sales Tax decrease of 35%, Business License Tax down 22%, and Transient Occupancy Tax down 47% how she came up with these metrics Mrs. Fiege stated that she sat down with Councilmembers Bloxom and Spuck and they looked at the month to month collections to determine where are the heavy months and which are the months where this pandemic might still be occurring and affect these line items. She stated that unfortunately there was no perfect science at this point for1 these predictions and was hopeful that they have under- anticipated what they will receive, in which case they will come back later and do a budget amendment.  and ift there are metrics out there to help with these calculations.  They did not want to over-anticipate and! bei in the hole later. Councilmember Krause stated that it made sense and thanked Mrs. Fiege.  4    Councilmember Oswald, regarding the Transient Occupancy" Taxa and the Meals Tax, stated that these were passed easily due to their being a pass-through tax and asked Mrs. Fiege if we were on par with Mrs. Fiege asked for clarificationi ifcouncilmember Oswald was referring to what our rate was and Councilmember Oswald asked for clarification if we were on par with other areas on the Shore or other Mrs. Fiege confirmed that we were on par with other areas on the Shore. She stated that Onancock is at 5%, Onleyi is at 5%, Cape Charies is at 5%, Exmore is at! 5%, and Accomack County she believesi is also at A message came in on Zoom chati from Kathy' Williams stating; "Ican tell you that tourists are returning, Councilmember Oswald, regarding the trash collection fee, stated that the fee went from $4 when we were making a concession to $8 and now to $16 and that the notes int the minutes stated that the fee Mrs. Fiege stated that we are currently charging $8.00 per billing cycle, which is $4.00 per month and that she breaks it down because there are a few people in town paying the monthly trash rate since they are also billed monthly for water. It is $8.00 per billing cycle ify you live in a residential area, which will Mrs. Fiege stated that for expenditures, in the executive department there was a decrease of 8%; 20% came from Community Promotion, which was reduced to make up for revenue shortfalls and keepi it in line for the previous year'sactuals. Tree board was also decreased by 50%1 to make up for revenue shortfalls. Mrs. Fiege stated that she spoke with the Chairman of the Tree Board and he stated he believed they would be able to accomplish their FY: 2021 committee goals with the $1,0001 that is currently budgeted. The Legal & Professional department overall was decreased 22%. The Town Attorney was reduced 22%, which was the amount between last year's actual and current year actual. Consultants was also reduced 50%, though this budget amount is morei than previous fiscal year's actuals. The Insurance FY2021 expectation was increased 4%. The budget expectation exceeded actual renewal costs; the town can reduce this department's expected expenditures by almost $2k to help cover the revenue short falli from the reclassification that camei in under the utility tax. The Police Department's expectation was decreased 16%, which was partially due to benefit changes. Office Supplies for this department were increased for the purchase of a new laptop. Vehicle Fuel was reduced 15% bringing it closer to previous year's actuais. Uniforms & Body Armor was reduced 33% to make up for the revenue short fall and appears to bei in line with current year expenditures. We added Animal Population Control line item for the coming fiscal year to help with animal controi int town. New Police Vehicles is al line item that we fund annually and usually in the year's we are not purchasing a vehicle we leave this as a placeholder at 50%, but this yeari it was reduced to zero so that we could cover the revenue short fall. The Streets department expects an increase of 8%, partially due to the cost of electric which has gone up and partially due to the repair & maintenance: for the road maintenance plan that we were supposed to be starting this fiscal year. The council had discussed not completing part of this repair & maintenance plani if we need to save moneyi in FY 2021. Solid Waste has an expectation of  other areas regarding those two taxes. stated that we are on par with other areas.  areas in' Virginia.  5%.  wel had cancels for April & May, but we are booking for June &. July."  was per month and asked for clarification if that rate was per billing cycle.  come to $16.00 every other month.  5    a 7% decrease. Money was removed that was scheduled fori the chipper and vehicle fuel was also reduced, which brought it down to current year actuals. Buildings and Grounds was decreased- 40%, largely due to a reduction oft the repair & maintenance item duet to revenue short falls which is keeping in line with previous years actuals. Parks has an expected increase of 53% due to plantings/andscaping, whichi is due to1 the! landscaping grant that was secured for the Samuel Outlaw Blacksmith Shop. Wharf has a large expected increase of 72% due to the grant money that we will be getting, but we are still required to expend thet funds which is why it is booked under the Wharf operational budget. Wharf Electric Service was reduced 13%, which brought it down to previous year'sactuals. Wharf. Janitorial will be decreased to $1,000, which is in line with current year actuals. Repair/Maintenance was increased due to the large grant. Gas/Diesel was decreased 25% due to the reduction ofs sales due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Other Operating Supplies was increased to bring it to current actuals, but this wasalso another linei item identified as being able to be reduced to cover revenue short falls from the utility tax. Capital Improvements was up due to the grants around the ramp project. The Christmas budget was reduced by 39%, with Christmas Decorations being reduced by! 50%. Contingency was reduced by 31% to make up for revenue short falls. Debt Service was reduced by 21% due to the final payment being  made on all vehicles ini the current fiscal year.  Mrs. Fiege asked for questions on general revenue expenditures.  Councilmember Marino asked ifi it would be more helpful for the viewing audience to give a dollar amount oft thei increase or decrease instead of using percentages. She referenced that ins some parts of the budget dollars are given, which she finds to be more valuable to see the before and after. Mrs. Fiege stated that she sat down with Mr. Spuck before writing up the budget and they came up with a criteria; it had to be +/-5% in either direction and a $1,000 difference. While it might not be al lot of money, iti is still a reduction of 50% for instance and Mrs. Fiege had no problem inputting the dollar Councilmember Bloxom asked if, while noti in the executive summary, the actuals are int the budget detail. He stated that he agreed with Councilmember Marino that for the formal presentation for approval that it would be preferred to attach dollar figures to those percentages in the executive  amounts into the budget passage.  summary.  Mrs. Fiege confirmed this can be done.  Mrs. Fiege moved on to' Water/Sewer. The rate for water and sewer is expected to increase by 5%. Septage receiving was reduced by 33% due to the lack of septage billing. There has not been revenue for Septage in 3) % years, so this was reduced even further since it's not a realistic item to keep slated for revenue purposes. There is hope this will produce revenue in FY2021. The Reserve for Capital Improvements for the water was funded at $24,500 which will be set aside for the repainting of the water town inside and out. Plant and Collection System Repair/Maintenance was increased by 17% with Councilmember Oswald asked for clarification on the Septage Receiving and since we have not had revenue for the last 3 years or so and why do we have al budget item for this and what is the anticipation  the increase in water and sewer charges.  around this.  6    Mrs. Fiege stated that when we did last bill for Septage we billed for 7 months and received over $15,000 and this is where the budget has remained. She confirmed that we have not billed for this for some time and that this year's budget anticipation was $5,000. She stated that theyl have hopes that they will be able to bill oni it again and does not want to remove it from the budget but does not want Councilmember Bloxom stated that the Sewer Steering Committed batted this around al lot and came to the conclusion that the town has not really marketed recently their ability to accept septage from some of the local water & sewer companies and if we were to aggressively market the fact that we can accept it, there is some possibility for revenue that we have not been able to receive, solguess we would task our new Town Manager and Mrs. Fiege on finding that new revenue source again to the extent that iti is Councilmember Oswald stated that she recalled the anticipation was for this to be al big source of Mayor Fosque stated that there were some problems with the plant and that the material was too contaminated and that the material was messing upl his chemistry, which was one of the reasons the town cut back oni it. He would need to connect with Mr. Bryan Horton on whether we can solve that Mrs. Fiege stated that part of the problem is that the equipment is aging and that we are not replacing $300,000 worth of equipment and taking on additional flow causes him to run into some of those Councilmember Oswald asked if she was correct in her assessment that wel have never made money fromi this and that the town did spend a significant amount of money on the equipment. Mrs. Fiege stated that most oft the money came from a USDA grant and that yes, this was supposed to Mayor Fosque stated that he supported the idea from Councilmember Bloxom about tasking the new  the anticipated amount to be so inflated that it ruins the budget.  available. revenue.  problem or not.  problems.  be a revenue, generator for the town to help with the debt.  manager with re-invigorating this project. Councilmember Oswald stated she was all for this idea.  Councilmember Bloxom stated that it was the conclusion of the operation subcommittee that we did have capacity to accept some level of septage even given the technical constraints around the mix and the chemicais. It should bej just about going back out and asking for this business again. Those local providers are now trucking that to Pocomoke or Snow Hill to get it processed so there is some benefit to Mayor Fosque opened the floor for public comments at 7:45 P.M.

He did not want to  increase as iti is termed on the agenda.  take a vote ifi it would bei illegal.  Mrs. Fiege stated she would follow up on the proper procedure.  Councilmember Bloxom commented to Mr. & Mrs. Hall, regarding their point on tax revenue increase, that iti is fair to say that council was very sympathetic to that concern and it was their original intent prior to the COVID-19 crisis to essentially split the difference with the residents and to not take the benefit of all that increased assessment. For whati it's worth he stated he was looking at his City of Virginia Beach tax bill which he has to pay tomorrow: and his assessment went up 30% and they did not change the tax rate. Anumber ofr municipalities are going through the same thing. He can look out his window and seel Mr. & Mrs. Hall's house so he expects they both will bei impacted the same and it doesn't please him any more than it pleases them, but unfortunately these are trying times and he Mrs. Fiege stated that Kathy Williams commented via Zoom thanking the council for hosting the meeting Councilmember Oswald thanked Councilmember Bloxom for addressing Mr. Hall's comment since it e.

Mrs. Fiege stated that the Town of Onancock has not been charging a zoning application fee and we are proposing a $25.00 fee starting July 01, 2020 which was also included in the budget proposal. This was discussed ini the March 12, 2020 meeting as well as the Budget Public Hearing meeting on May 28, 2020. Itisa$ $25.001 flat fee, which will help with the considerable amount of staff time that goes into researching these and will help the town recoup: some oft those costs for staff time. Onancock is the only locality in the areat that does not charge ai fee. Accomack County charges $65.00, Chincoteague charges $45.00, Onley charges $25.00. Charges are based on the square foot of the structure. Mayor Fosque asked for clarification of this fee and when this is charged.  Mrs. Fiege clarified that if you would like to change the footprint ofy your property you are required to get a zoning application permit from the town. Onancock approves this then yous go to Accomack  County to get your building permit. Mayor Fosque asked for public comment.  Councilmember Krause asked if people are currently doing this. Ifsomeone wants to change the footprint of their dwelling, would Accomack County process this without the Town's: zoning application Mayor Fosque confirmed that they should not process these building permits without approval from the  permit.

This increases the special use permit application feet from $125.00to $250.00. It also adds language which passes the advertising costs along to the applicant. At present the $125.00 fee barely covers advertising, let alone staff time involved with special use permits which area Councilmember Oswald stated she is not opposed to advertising costs being passed along to the applicant but questioned whether the $250.00 was too steep and asked for consideration if this fee was fair. She did not recall the plan being to include advertisingi in addition to a doubling of the fee. Mrs. Fiege stated that $205.00 was spent recently to run the public hearing for the electronic summitting system and that it depends on the size oft the advertising. When we had the public hearing for Caleb Fowler'ss special use permit, we had to run the advertising twicea and the town ate this cost. At present, regardless of how much the town spends, the applicant only pays the $125.001 fee. Councilmember Oswald stated she would like to see the advertising feei included as part oft the cost but did not see thej justification for doubling the fee and suggested $175.00 or $200.00 as a fee. She stated if they are paying the full freight on the advertising, this is already a big step forward from where the  lengthier process for the Town Manager than zoning permits.  town had been.

Councilmember Krause asked if there was historical data on the costs for these fees.  Mrs. Fiege stated thati iti is different for every project and after being asked by Mayor Fosque what other towns charge, stated that Accomack County charges a flat fee of $400.00 fori their special use permits. Mayor Fosque stated that there were not many permits issued and the impact oft this change would not  be significant to the budget and suggested delaying a vote. Mayor Fosque asked for public comment. these permits benefit the town or the individual.  Resident David Krause, 1 Market Street, commented that this is nearly a 200% increase and asked if Mrs. Fiege recommended keeping the $250.001 fee and having the town absorb the advertising fees. Mayor Fosque stated that the advertising would be significantly more expensive and thought it would be Councilmember Oswald stated that the cost of the advertising was the fluctuating cost and thought this  more beneficial to pass these fees on to the applicant. was al better cost to pass along to the applicant.

Systems in the Town Code - Lisa Fiege, Interim Town Manager  3    Mayor Fosque opened the Town Council Public hearing at 7:26 P.M.  Mrs. Fiege stated that this section would allow the Onancock Police Department to charge a $5.00 fee for each criminal or traffic case in the circuit court when the defendant is charged with a violation of any statute or ordinance for the purposes of installing and utilizing an electronic summons system. This money would be stored in a separate bank account to be used to pay fori the electronic summons system, which the Police Chief believes will be required in the next 5-10 years. This money would only be used for that equipment purchase. The electronic summons system will cut traffic stop times in half and will make it easier fort the officer to create a summons with the correct information. Once the defendant's license is scanned, the system will create a summons based on the appropriate information listed on the license. It will give real time summons to the defendant at the stop. The cost per vehicle is Councilmember Oswald asked ift the system was portable, since that would reduce the number of Discussion continued around the average number of summons written, which was unknown, and how Councilmember Oswald stated that by her estimation if you write 11 tickets a week, you could pay for this system in 4 years.

Road Diet - Lisa Fiege, Interim Town Manager  Mrs. Fiege stated that the Town had previously sent al letter of support to VDOT for this project. VDOT's central office in 2019 created the statewide guide on roadway restriping projects, which aims to improve safety without changing the footprint of the road. Theyi identified Market Street as a prime candidate to demonstrate restriping in a rural area. The project sketch shows the study's recommendation to restripe Market Street starting at Hill Street and ending at Route 13. The road's width and footprint would remain the same, but it would be restriped from four (4) travel lanes to two (2) travel lanes, plus one (1) center-turn lane and two (2) buffered bicycle lanes. The study recommends this as a means to improve safety on the road. The current lane configuration at the Route 13 intersection would not change. There is opportunity to fund this restriping project through VDOT's  5    Smart Scale program, which requires no local match or management and puts projects in VDOT's pipeline fori its six (6)-year improvement program. Smart Scale applications are due at the beginning of August and willl be prepared with no cost to the Town.

CARES Act Allocation - Lisa Fiege, Interim Town Manager  Mrs. Fiege stated that Accomack County is receiving $2.8 million from the Federal Government fori the CARES Act. Portions of this are required to be allocated to the towns, based on population size. Onancock is receiving $106,333.00. This proposal asks to withhold $40,000.00 from this allocation for town expenses such as retrofitting the town hall for safety measures, staff PPE, overtime related to COVID-19, and other un-budgeted items that were un-planned. This cannot be used to make up fora any budget shortfalls. The recommendation for the other $66,333.00 allocation is to create two grant options for small businesses in Town with a: 2020 business license that were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first grant option will be considered a "Full Grant" with at funding of $5,000.00 or the maximum available depending on the availability of funds, up to the attested loss of revenue from April 2020 through. June 2020 and will be available to businesses ordered to close in accordance with Executive Orders! 53 and 55 and which were in operation on April 15, 2020. Those considered essential and allowed to open would not be able to apply for this grant. The second grant option will be considered a "Partial Grant" with funding up to one third (1/3) oft the amount of the "Full Grant", nott to exceed the business' lost revenue. All businesses with a 2020 Onancock Business License that did not receive a' "Full Grant" from the town will be eligible for a "Partial Grant" and must provide the town with revenue numbers from April 20191 through. June of 2019 and 2020 and must attest to a dropi in revenue ofat least 20%1 from 2019 to 2020. These options are detailed int the attached packet. The recommendation is also to create the Onancock Small Business Grant Program Committee and Councilmember Robert Bloxom has agreed to head at three-person committee to review all applications to determine al business' eligibility and the amount oft their funding. The request is for the Town Council to approve the creation of this committee and appoint Councilmember Robert Bloxom, Hayden Mayor Fosque asked for clarification on who has final approval of businesses approved fori funding. Mrs. Fiege stated that the council would approve how the funds are spent and the creation oft the committee, but the committee would handle approval of business eligibility and grant approval. Councilmember Krause asked how the businesses who are eligible for the funds would be identified. Mrs. Fiege stated that every business with a 2020 Onancock Business License would be contacted and made aware that these grant options are available. This would be an opportunity to touch base with  Rochester, and Richard Freeman to the committee.  6    businesses who have not finalized licenses to make sure their licenses remain current and to ensure they remain eligible for the grant. There are approximately 120 businesses with 2020 Onancock Business Licenses, not alll located within town limits. Businesses located outside oft the town limits are eligible to apply for Accomack County's small business grant program, but those businesses in town limits are not Councilmember Oswald asked for more detail on Accomack County's Small Business program.

His replacement will get an appointed two-year term and will be required to run at the end of the appointed term. The Council has received several applications of people who are interested, and the Council must make the decision on who they would like to appoint. This decision will not be made lightly, as all candidates are highly qualified.  7    Councilmember Krause stated that this was a very difficult decision. She stated instead of looking at this asa one or the other appointment, we: should look at this as a win/win for the town as we now have twoi individuals willing to serve on the council and geti involved with thet town.

She stated that Shyreka Riley would bring ai fresh perspective as a citizen of the Town's Northeast section, which is not represented on the council, as well as being a downtown business owner, also not represented on the council.

Town Manager's Report - Lisa Fiege, Interim Town Manager:  Mrs. Fiege stated that this coming weekend would be thet final weekend of the North Street road closure. This was done through the ABC's temporary guidelines, which will expire when the State of Emergency expires on. June 29, 2020. After speaking with ABC, if the council isi interested in doing something on a limited scale, this is possible. The Town did not get the ABC permit they sought for1 the St. Patrick's Day parade road closure, but they can still purchase this license which would cost about $500.00 and will be useable for 16 events in a: 12-month period. One event can last for three (3) consecutive days. VDOT would: still need to provide approval to close the road. Alcohol cannot be sold outside of the licensed establishments, but the license allows for people to consume alcohol outdoors in the closed-offarea. Feedback from the Town has been very positive about the road closure. The Council recommended applying for the permit immediately and then discussing how to use the permit once approved and acquired. The summer months made the most sense, since outdoor events would be less successful in colder months. Feedback from the Town has been positive. The Council  asked for business owner feedback.  Mrs. Fiege stated she would follow up with VDOT and apply for the permit.  Resident Bill Burnham commented that removing the parking during the hours leading up to the road closure could impact the businesses along that street since people would not be able to access those Mayor Fosque stated when previously asked the businesses did not have a problem with the parking issue, but the Council should again look into the impact the extended removal of these parking spaces Mrs. Fiege stated that she, Mayor Fosque, and Councilmember Marino met with the Northeast section leadership group and user agreement returns have been low.
