Board of Supervisors February 13, 2024 Sheet1 1 February 13, 2024 County of Greene, Virginia THE GREENE COUNTY BOARD OFSUPERVISORS MET ONTUESDAYPBUARYI 2024, BEGINNING AT 4:30 P.M. IN PERSON IN THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING MEETING ROOM Present were: Marie Durrer, Chair Davis Lamb, Vice Chair Steve Catalano, Member Tim Goolsby, Member Francis McGuigan, Member Cathy Schafrik, County Administrator Jim Frydl, Director of Planning & Zoning Kim Morris, Deputy Clerk Kelley Kemp, County Attorney Staff present: Stephanie Golon, Deputy Director of Planning & Zoning Melissa Meador, Director of Emergency Services RE: BUDGET WORKSHOP - AUDIT PRESENTATION Mr. Matt McLearen of Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates presented the FY23 Audit to the Board. He said that he is going to review two different documents, the first being a letter called the Communication to Those Charged with Governance and the second document is the full balanced financial report. Beginning with the letter to those charged with governance, the first critical point in this document are responsibilities under the audit. As most individuals are aware the auditors are required to test documents to opine on the financial statements and report to the appropriate authorities. The audit team and the county have an important role in the audit process not only at the fiscal year end when the audit is occurring, but also throughout the fiscal year. The audit team is required to maintain a system of controls, maintain an accounting system and to maintain policies and procedures. The next items described in this letter are accounting estimates. As with most financial statements, accounting estimates are used in compiling the financial statements. This letter documents the key estimates used in compiling the county's financial statements and those were largely related to depreciable lives of long-term assets such as buildings, estimates related to OPEB liabilities and assets and the uncollectible nature and property taxes. The next item described in this letter is any difficulties encountered performing the audit and! Mr. McLearen said that he is pleased to report that they had no difficulties encountered in performing the audit for fiscal year 2023. The next point in this letter is disagreements that apply to accounting principles. Ifwel had a disagreement applying accounting principles with management throughout Board of Supervisors February 13, 2024 Sheet 2 the course oft the audit, they are: required to disclose those, and Mr. McLearen said hei is pleased to report they had no such difficulty. Lastly, he said they are required to disclose any significant audit findings and he was pleased to report that there were none for the Fiscal Year 2023 Audit. As far as the Balanced Financial Report, Mr. McLearen began with the Independent Auditors Report. This is the official opinion on the financial statements and the material accuracy. He said that they had issued an unmodified or clean opinion on financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. The general fund is the main operating fund for the county. The fund balance is the term for equity for the County. The County had a fund balance in the general fund of approximately $24.3 million on June 30, 2023. The statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes ini fund balance, which is very similar to an income statement for a for profit entity, shows an increase in fund balance of approximately $1.2 million. Mr. McLearen said that, this year, there were quite a few changes to the financial reporting model for the county largely related to the water and sewer fund. The water and sewer fund is on ac different accounting basis and this year is definitely unique in reporting that for the very first time for the County. He highlighted three financial statements for the water and sewer activities only. They are segregated from the general fund and the other general funds of the county. There isal lot of information to digest this year as it is the first year that there were assets and debt accumulated in those funds and the actual operation of those funds will report starting withl Fiscal Year 24, due to the timing of the water and sewer agreement that was struck with the regional authority. The water and sewer fund reports both long term assets such as the land and structures that were received as part of the agreement as well as the associated debt that the county has incurred to purchase those assets. The next report is very similar to an income statement. He said that this report is not as meaningful this year but will be next year as the water and sewer system will report the actual user charges and full operating expenses for the year for the water and sewer system. The Independent Auditors Report on Internal Controls is where an auditor would describe any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the County's financial reporting structure. Hes said that this reporti is free ofany significant deficiencies or material weaknesses ini the County's reporting structure or internal control system. The third report that an auditor would issue would apply if an organization receives greater than $750,000 in federal funding and this includes not just the County funds, but also the School Board and Social Services. When that happens, an auditor is required to issue what's called a single audit, and that's a program specific audit the is regulated by the federal government and federal agencies and they are required to test specific requirements and report back to the federal agencies. This report described their compliance testing and he said that they issued a clean or modified opinion of that federal compliance. Mr. Lamb asked if the current year variance of $2.5 million related contribution to the component unit School Boardi is excess. Mr. McLearen clarified that the $15.4 million is the actual amount necessary toi fund the local portion oft the school, sot the $18 million ist thel budgeted amount and the variance referenced is the difference between those two. Kristie Spencer provided further clarification for Mr. Lamb. Board of Supervisors February 13, 2024 Sheet3 RE: BUDGET WORKSHOP - CIP PRESENTATION Mr. Frydl shared the Capital Improvement Program for FY24-25 with the Board. The CIP lists the projects and equipment needs for county agencies and departments. The Board of Supervisors determines the priority of the requests and creates a budget to achieve the goals ofthe community. Mr. Frydl shared the current projects and equipment needs that were collected from the departments and agencies and explained how he sorted them on the spreadsheet. They discussed the priority ofr replacing the scales at the Solid Waste Facility and the roof on the County Administration building. The scales are well past their useful life at 31 years old and require constant repair and the roofis leaking in several places. He discussed the parking lot oft the County Administration building and the fact that it needs to be resurfaced before the current pavement crumbles beyond repair. Mr. Frydl shared the new equipment requests for public safety and explained their priority. He shared the need for fleet management and the eplacemenvaddituon of vehicles as compared to the number of positions approved in the budget. He discussed the fact that our EMS department will need to order an ambulance as it takes several years to receive one after it's been ordered. The Board discussed the requests and talked about the lifecycle of equipment and vehicles. They discussed the roof at length and requested additional information before they decide which type of roof will replace the current one. Mr. Frydl said that last year was the first time that the Board set aside funding for capital projects. Ms. Durrer said that she would like to prioritize the scales at Solid Waste, the roof and the parking lot at the Administration building, the vehicle needs of the Sheriff's Office and EMS. Mr. McGuigan asked if the volunteer fire agencies have EMS capable vehicles. Ms. Meador said that they off basic life support and cannot transport patients. He asked if we recapture the revenue from insurance recovery. Ms. Meador said that we do. She said we average $40,000- 60,000 per month. She said those funds go into the general fund and are not earmarked for anything in particular. There was discussion about how vehicle financing is listed in the audit and how we should request that the auditor use standard language in the future in order to clarify the amount of money being spent on vehicle financing. There was discussion about the volunteer fire department needs such as a generator for Dyke. They also discussed the funds that we allocate to the fire departments for the truck replacement program. The Board agreed toj prioritize the scales at the Solid Waste Facility. They agreed that the roof on the County Administration building is a priority but will likely be paid for with currently budgeted funds, sO will notl have tol be added to the CIP. They will use grant funding fora a generator for Dyke Fire Department. They will look at vehicle needs for the schools and public safety as part of the fleet replacement program and prioritize an ambulance and 3 apparatus.

He owns a construction and roofing company. Ms. Golon said that one of the conditions is that the applicant will have to abandon the property line between the two parcels he owns, as the accessory structure for the business is on the vacant property and must be on the same property as the home. She shared pictures of his home showing the adequate parking space for his business vehicles. She said that the Health Department stated that the system isa adequate for the number of employees present in the morning and afternoon timeframe.

COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE recommend approval with several conditions. The chair opened and closed the public hearing with no comments. Mr. McGuigan questioned the number of vehicles and trailers that would be allowed ifthis is approved. He also did not agree with the condition allowing a small shed as there was no clear Board of Supervisors February 13, 2024 Sheet7 definition of what size small is. He said that he is also unsure that a vegetative screen will be able to effectively screen. He also said that the Board is supposed to approve requests that do not change the character and pattern of a development and he feels that this does. He also wants to be sure that neighbors do not feel that this will impair the value of their land. He said that he has reservations with the current recommendation. Mr. Goolsby said that he was present when the Planning Commission heard this request. He said that the shed is 8x 10 and he usually uses it to put shingles in. He shared that the fence was put up by the applicant to shield his ladders from view. He feels that the applicant is doing what he needs to do. He said that only 2-3 vehicles will be at the residence during working hours. He also said that the neighbors had no complaints. Mr. Lamb said that he is concerned as this is zoned R1. Mr. Catalano said that he reviewed the Planning Commission'sc conditions, and he feels the screening will be adequate but is concerned with the number of vehicles. He would like to add a condition to reduce the number of vehicles to 3 business related vehicles. He also said that he agrees with Mr. McGuigan' s concern about the size of the shed and said that the condition should state that the structure is allowed as it currently exists with no modifications. Mr. Catalano said that he is encouraged that there are no community members opposed to this request.

RE: TJPDC MULTIJURISDICTIONAL SAFETY PLAN, SAFE STREETS FOR ALL, Mr. Curtis Scarpignato was present to share the Safe Streets for All plan with the Board and request their commitment to the program. He said that The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law established the Safe Streets and Roads for All discretionary grant program, providing $5-$6b billion in grants over the next 5 years. The goal of this funding is to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. To be eligible to receive project implementation funding, applicants must first have developed an approved Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Since none of the localities within the Thomas Jefferson Planning District have such a plan in place, the Planning District Commission applied for and was awarded funding through the SS4A program to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan on behalf of participating localities in the region. The benefits ofa Comprehensive Safety Action Plan include: Comprehensive understanding of crash locations and contributing factors, including identification of systemic or recurring factors; it considers safety for all users (roadway, bike/ped, transit); it outlines multi-faceted strategies to reduce/eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries; and it creates a pipeline of identified projects to leverage implementation funding beyond SMART SCALE such as: SS4A Discretionary Grant Program for implementation, Transportation Alternatives Program, Revenue Sharing and Highway Safety Improvement Program. He said that the required components of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan include leadership commitment, an oversight group to develop, implement and monitor, comprehensive safety data analysis, robust public and stakeholder engagement, inclusive and representative process in the plan development, evaluation of processes and policies, comprehensive cemtifcatonpmontration of projects and strategies and ongoing monitoring and reporting. He shared Greene County specific crash data over the last five years. Mr. Scarpignato said that TJPDC is requesting approval from the Board of Supervisors for the Resolution of PRESENTATION AND REQUEST FOR COMMITTMENT Commitment to. Roadway Safety Goals. Upon motion by Steve Catalano, second by Tim Goolsby, and unanimous roll call vote, the Board approved the resolution as presented.

RE: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR AN ORDINANCE REVISION TO CHAPTER 14, SUBDIVISION 3 - ANIMAL NOISES OF THE GREENE Ms. Kemp said that the Board had previously tasked her with working up options to update the current animal noise ordinance. She said that she had discussed options with the Sheriff and has provided a few different options for the Board's consideration. She noted that the Sheriff has concerns about the amount of staff time this could potentially take up. Ms. Kemp said that this COUNTY CODE will be a touchy topic. She shared some of the changes that could be made. Mr. McGuigan said that if we don't use the length of time a dog barks or a decibel reader, how do we establish competent evidence that the law is broken. Ms. Kemp said she agrees that it will be difficult to discern. Mr. Catalano asked what the criteria are for all other noises. Ms. Kemp said that we do have a noise ordinance that is based on decibels, but it is a civil crime and fine. Mr. Mcguigan said that he feels a unified concept of noise and length of noise would be good. Mr. Catalano said that he would like all noises looked at and not just animal noises. pertains to our Code and make some recommendations. It was the consensus of the Board to ask Ms. Kemp to look into all aspects of noise as it RE: CLARIFICATION OF 2024 BYLAWS AS ADOPTED AT THE JANUARY 23, 2024, The Board discussed the changes that they had made to their bylaws for 2024 as staff Mr. McGuigan shared the changes he asked for at thel last meeting and the Board discussed the items that needed tol be clarified. Onei item discussed was the way in whichindividuals wishing MEETING needed clarification on some of the points. Board of Supervisors February 13, 2024 Sheet 10 to use. AV during a presentation should submit the media. Ms. Schafrik shared that many localities ask individuals to upload their presentations to YouTube which will take care of the concerns regarding viruses and malware. Doing SO would also take some of the pressure off of staff. Mr. McGuigan did not care for this idea because it meant that each individual would have to create their own YouTube account. Mr. McGuigan volunteered toj personally check each presentation in the place of staff because he felt SO strongly about his position on this matter. Mr. Catalano stated that it is important to note that no one on the Board wishes to restrict public access to their government. The entire Board wants the public tol have input. He said that this is strictly an operational issue that must be addressed before changes are made. He said that he still has an issue with the direct questioning ofs staff. He said this is a meeting of the Board that the Board holds on behalf of the people. The people are supposed to question the Board and then the Board could direct questions ofs staff members. He feels to do otherwise would be a disservice to citizens as it could create chaos, fear and anxiety. He said that it is the Chair's discretion to allow dialogue and questions. There was further discussion regarding this matter. Ms. Kemp said that the Board allows time for citizen comment as well as time for comment during public hearings. She said that the Board must follow Robert's Rules, which states it is the Board's meeting. The comments of the public are directed at the Board and not staff. Meetings are not a time for back- and-forth dialogue. She said the other thing to remember is that the Board acts as al body. Three of you have to agree. Upon motion by Francis McGuigan, second by Davis Lamb and affirmative roll call vote, the Board amended their bylaws to allow speakers to use their time to ask appropriate questions of board members, county employees present such as the County Administrator or planning department and petitioners regarding a matter before the board.

It was the consensus of the Board to move forward with a shingle roof. Ms. Schafrik updated the Board on the request from the volunteer fire departments for SCBA masks. She said that Ms. Meador suggested the use of training funds that were set aside for the volunteer agencies that were unused.
