RE: MATTERS FROMTHE PUBLIC Mr. Patrick Moctezuma, Twin Lakes, felt the Second Amendment sanctuary resolution is not in the best interest ofh his neighborhood or of the county. Interpretation of the constitution is Board of Supervisors December 10, 2019 Sheet 3 the role ofthe courts and it should wait at least until al law is passed that is found tol be oppressive. This is not a grass movement born in Greene County. The fact that the resolutions dropped in sO manyr municipalities at onces should tell everyone that thisi is aw well-funded, well-organized political campaign manufacturing fear and outrage in the service ofas state-wide and even national agenda. Mr. Moctezuma implored the Board to not allow Greene County and its citizens to be used as a pawn in a larger political and financial agenda that, in no way, has the best interest of Greene Mr. Jerry Schiller, resident here for 40 years, believes passing this resolution would be a bad idea. The spirit oft this seems to be very emotional. The law has not been passed and no one is.coming for your guns. Ifthey did, it would be assault rifles, not hunting rifles, shotguns or home defense weapons. He felt Greene County has more important things, this is not who we are, and Ms. Nancy Rodland, speaking on behalf of Greene citizens, reminded the Board of Supervisors that citizens are their equals in every way with the exception ofhaving the power to vote which has been entrusted tol Board members. She thanked Michelle Flynn and David Cox for having a listening ear with her personally. She asked Board members to think about their legacy tonight and urged members to vote for the Second Amendment sanctuary for Greene County. Mr. Theodore Crackel, Vietnam veteran, said AR-15 rifles were issued to troops as a weapon that could spray al lot ofammunition down the field to protect soldiers. The problem now is people think this type ofautomatic weapon should be available to everyone. The whole point of an automatic weapon is tol kill people and these rifles are very effectivel killing weapons. He does Mr. Mark Heinicke, Twin Lakes, expressed his opposition to the proposal that the Board declare the County a Second Amendment sanctuary. Regulations ofany kind should be treated on ac case by case basis rather than swept aside on the presumption that all regulation is illegitimate. The Second Amendment does not say each and every person in all circumstances. Homicide by firearms in Virginia increased by 45% between 2013 and 2017 according to the CBC. Commonsense constraints on the ownership and use of firearms, such as universal background checks, are now crucial to a civil society. He asked that the language "slippery slope" be removed from any resolution adopted by the Board. This is inherently a public safety issue, not a political Mr. William Sypher, resident of Ruckersville since 2010, was opposed to the resolution proposed by the Greene County Republicans. Those who oppose the resolution accept that most gun owners are responsible people and also recognize the principal of self-defense. We are not coming after your guns despite the oft stated fears that we are. The fundamental reason for gun violence in America is the easy access to guns by those who should not have them. Republicans have long agreed withi this sO you would think they would want to make itl harder to get guns. They propose an end to all gun enforcement. They advocate anyone of any age, with any criminal or psychiatric history can buy any gun from anyone and carry it concealed or open anywhere, a school, a workplace, a house ofworship, al business and they believe that the Second Amendment supports this. They are dead wrong. The Second Amendment does not give unrestricted access to guns. The Constitution is a flexible rulel book. He asked ifwe can just use common sense, logic, Ms. Martha Ledford, full-time resident here since 1983, is a retired educator, owner ofa hospitality business, and owner of small farmstead. The United States Constitution and the County in mind. itisamistake. not want to see people in America using our own weapons against each other. one. and experience to come together to support sensible gun legislation. Board of Supervisors December 10, 2019 Sheet 4 Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia spell out the rights of the individual to keep and bear arms. The rights of citizens are already protected and the proposal is redundant. She does not support declaring Greene County a Second Amendment sanctuary and supports the second Mr. Steven Hollis, Ruckersville resident since 2005, referred to comments by the Culpeper County Sheriff who plans to properly screen and deputize thousands of law-abiding citizens to protect constitutional rights. He challenged Sheriff Steve Smith to make a similar VoW. Mr. Paul Harrington, resident here for 20 years, spoke in opposition to the proposed resolution. We are a country oflaws meant to protect the safety ofa all. No one: is above the law. The NRA has promoted ai fear that any. gun legislation is a path to taking our Second Amendment rights away. Anyone suggesting we: need gun control is an enemy. Thisis divisive, further splitting our nation into warring factions. Same tactics our enemy uses to divide us. We cannot pick and choose which amendments wei feel like following. Wearet the United States of America and should Mr. Brian Robinson, Greene County resident, life-long Virginia resident and combat veteran with the United States Marine Corp, said he swore to defend the Constitution against enemies, both foreign and domestic. Two hundred nine Virginia residents died in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts and the politicians in Washington have the audacity to tell the widows and families that they can't have an AR15 or a magazine over 10 rounds. Itis a shameful act. He Mr. Ted Deeds, resident here for over 29 years, spoke in favor of the Second Amendment and any and all acts the Board can do in furtherance of that. He, his father, and his son served in the military. His son also volunteered ini rescue operations. His son wasn't afraid but hei is now. Mr. Deeds said he supports the Second Amendment and cannot sit and watch his son be afraid of what his state government might do. He implored and charged Board members, as a voter in this County, to use their voice and power ofoffice to communicate that there is a palpable fear among the population. He asked for a show ofhands oft those in the room who supported his comments. Mr. Ed Yensho, Monroe Magisterial District, said he was speaking for himself and as a representative of the Greene County Republican Committee and read an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence. The Board has the opportunity to join with 59 other localities as of last night. He urged Board members to take a proactive position in support of the Second Amendment rather than shirk their responsibility to protect county citizens. He asked members to Mr. Keith Bourne, Monroe District, said Virginians have a long history ofs standing up for theirrights. Citizens are asking the Board of Supervisors to help in sending a clear message to the state and national governments that the continued erosion of rights is simply not acceptable. He asked the Board to please help by passing an ordinance to preserve Second Amendment rights. Mr. Eddie Deane handed printed information to Board members and shared statistics from countries where citizens were disarmed. If we can't see this agenda knocking on the door of America, wel have our heads stuck int the: sand. He encouraged thel Board to vote fort this resolution. Ms. Dovonna Lamb, a lifelong resident of Greene County, said she served in the Virginia Army National Guard and will always uphold her duties as a veteran. The Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to bear arms. She asked the Board of Supervisors to approve the Second proposed resolution. stand together. He opposed the Second Amendment sanctuary resolution. urged the Board to do the right thing and pass the resolution. vote to declare Greene County a Second Amendment sanctuary. Amendment sanctuary resolution. Board of Supervisors December 10, 2019 Sheet 5 Mr. Steve Barber said the proposed law would allow anyone to claim that another person isa danger to society. Ifthe court agrees, then law enforcement could take their guns. This would infringe upon the rights ofp people and eliminate due process in giving that person a way to defend themselves before their weapons are taken. Confiscation of weapons will not keep people from Mrs. Kimmy Kruskamp, Ruckersville, spoke in favor ofthe proposed resolution saying she rescinded her comments made at the previous meeting. She is disappointed at the timidness ofthis Board to simply defend and uphold the Constitution which is in the oath many Board members have taken more than once. Constituents stood outside at the previous meeting without a thank you and are out there again tonight. This Board has left a legacy of obscureness, over-spending, and lack of respect to constituents who came to have their voices heard but were stuck outside. Mrs. Kruskamp referred to comments by Colion Noir, ai national gun rights activist. Mr. Steve McLean, resident here since 2008, said he was deployed as contractor in Iraq and saw enough death and destruction to last a lifetime. He hopes to never see that again and Mr. Doug Roberts, Stanardsville District, respectfully urged the Board to vote in favor of Greene as a Second Amendment sanctuary county. He asked the Board to vote for the resolution specifically geared towards the Second Amendment, not the watered-down version. Ms. Paige Roberts felt the Board has consistently ignored feedback from the community on matters affecting our lives and wallets. She questioned having a survey now under these circumstances. The Second Amendment is the only one consistently under attack by the fascists on the left and she wondered why citizen rights are up: for debate. She asked the Board toj pass the Mr. Brandon McDaniel, Monroe District, said a law to limit access to things that can hurt people sounds like a good idea but, in reality, anything can be used to hurt someone. Airplanes were used to hurt people on September 11. There is a morality problem in this country and laws only work for law-abiding citizens as criminals do not obey laws. He asked the Board to stand up Mr. Steve Keene said hei is a former State Trooper, was a State employee for 26 years, and is the Director of Virginia Justice and Safety, which has provided firearms training to thousands of citizens. He noted the Sheriff's Office continues to train people in record numbers. Greene County was instrumental in getting gun safety classes started in Virginia. He asked the Board of Supervisors to support the proposed resolution saying bogus new laws have been tried before and Mr. Harry Austin said he has always been very proud of the fact that the founders of Virginia are also the founders of this country. They would be rolling over in their graves if they could see what is happening. Any firearm that has been in common use: for thej protection ofhomes can continue tol bei used. AR-15rifles havel been around fora a long time. This will send the message tol legislature that we are not very happy about their contempt oft the Supreme Court. Virginia still has a State militia that requires any able body citizen between the age of21 and 65 is subject to being called to fight by the Governor. Ifthese gun control laws are enacted, that law needs to be Mr. Michael Hoovler said he is a data scientist and goes by the facts. Gun control and efforts at restricting the Second Amendment do not have facts on their side. Heis a father oftwo killing. urged the Board to vote the right way. resolution defending Second Amendment rights. for citizen rights. did not work. amended also.

Hei is not going to give Mr. Jason Williams said he is a life-long resident of Greene County, hunter, gun owner, NRA member, and concealed weapon permit holder. Thisi ist the first Board of Supervisors meeting hel has ever attended because it is the first time he felt the need to come out here. Anything can be used as an assault weapon. Governor Northam and the gun hating politicians in Richmond and Washington want to take every gun that we have. Greene County residents are good honest law- abiding people andi if these laws are passed, they will be criminals. We're not giving our guns up Mr. Daniel Dobrowolski said this technology has been in existence since the early 1900's. The most common handgun cartridge is the 9mm invented by George Luger in 1907 and no significant changes have been made. He has been defending this country since he was 19 years old. Some of the nastiest places he has ever been to had outlawed weapons and were rife with machine guns, true assault rifles, etc. Ifyou think drug runners are bad, wait until you meet gun Mr. Martin said there were 27 speakers and thanked everyone for their comments. up any ofhis firearms.

Board of Supervisors December 10, 2019 Sheet 7 This was first discussed at thel November. 26 meeting andi information provided at that time The Coded ofVirginia, Section 15.2-1522 prescribes the same oath for every elected county officer. The oath, which is found in Code Section 49.1, is as follows: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties The Sheriff's duty to enforce the lawi is also prescribed in the State Code Section 15.2-1609 and by his duty, the Sheriff clearly has the primary and direct responsibility for law enforcement in Greene County. As a community, we certainly respect and appreciate his thinking with regard toall new statutes enacted by the General Assembly. Sheriff Smith has publicly declared: "Iwill unequivocally be loyal to my oath of office and support the Second Amendment and the Constitution oft this great land. Our right to keep and bear arms shall not bei infringed." As a Virginia locality, Greene County is prohibited by statute from adopting or enforcing any ordinance, resolution, or motion governing the purchase, possession, transfer, ownership, carrying, storage or transporting of firearms, ammunition, or components or combination thereof other than those expressly authorized by statute. (Virginia Code Section 15.2-915) The Board of Supervisors does not appropriate funds by line item to the Sheriff for various areas of enforcement activity. That is within his discretion. Greene County has no public monies budgeted specifically to fund any existing or contemplated gun laws or their enforcement. There arer no publicn monies budgeted or available to fund legal defense or al legal fight over any such new Mr. Taylor said he has been a Virginia licensed attorney for 33 years and involved in local government for 30 years. Misapprehensions of the implementation of government in our Commonwealth are troubling to him. He has watched, over the course of his career in local government, the erosion of local government's influence with the General Assembly. Watched the rising friction and sometimes ultimate animosity between the General Assembly and localities on various points. It is incumbent upon all Virginians to address their concerns about laws that might be enacted in Richmond, to Richmond. We have very little voice, as a local government, and wel haveprecious littleinfluence. Hes suggested citizens take their message to the State Capitol. Mrs. Durrer made a motion that the Board declare Greene County a Second Amendment Sanctuary with approval of resolution number 3 as proposed which she read. The motion was Mrs. Flynn said she had a phone conversation with a citizen in which she was told she needed to have safety concerns if she voted against the Second Amendment sanctuary resolution. She felt threatened and her original reaction was to skip this meeting, submit a written statement and remain safe but that is not ok. She has spent four years making the best decision with the information available at the time and this will be no different. She took an oath to support the Constitution which includes all the amendments. She asked Board members, if moving forward with this on the agenda, to consider the second proposed resolution that clearly states that no amendment is more important than another and the Board would resolve that public funds will not be used to restrict any constitutional right. Mrs. Flynn said she would bei in supportofthei resolution included nine examples ofresolutions. That number is down to two this evening. incumbent upon me as according to the best ofr my ability, (so help me God)." laws. seconded by David Cox. that affirms support of the entire Constitution. Board of Supervisors December 10,2 2019 Sheet 8 Mr. Herring said this decision has been difficult. He spoke with a Nelson County Supervisor who agreed with him that the resolutions going forward were not representing rural Virginia and that Supervisor drafted a resolution which was later modified by Mr. Martin for Greene County. Mr. Herring grew up in Greene County, grew up around guns, and had hunter safety programs in school. Threats have been made to other Board members here and throughout the Commonwealth. Citizens want to send ai message to Richmond that there is fear or concern of whati is taking place. They want the Board of Supervisors to make a statement that they are being Mr. Cox said he supports resolution number 31 that is on table att this time. He feels it sends amessage to Richmond that Greene County is watching their every move with the whole Mr. Martin said the subject tonight is the Second Amendment and he has had dozens of conversations with his Greene County neighbors about the subject. He has no doubt in his mind where the grand majority ofl his constituents in the Stanardsville district comes out on this issue of as sanctuary resolution. This Board was deliberate by taking time with a two-step process to come up with a document that he thinks fits better for Greene County. Mr. Martin spoke with Sheriff Smith and Commonwealth Attorney-elect Win Consolvo who were both supportive of this document. Greene County citizens tend to be reasonable folks and family-oriented patriots to whom firearms are very important. They understand and respect firearms and practice gun safety. Incidents or accidents are extremely rare here in Greene County. The majority of Greene County residents just want to be heard on this issue. They want the Board of Supervisors and Richmond heard and their concern is understood. He supported the resolution. Constitution. to listen. He supported the resolution as read by Mrs. Durrer.

R-2 zoning will permit a by-right density of 6 dwelling units per acre or 46 units. Ift the applicant moves forward with a Special Use Permit, density and impacts will be analyzed at that time. There is a market demand for this housing type. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request. Mr. Butch Wilberger, consultant for owner Jonathan Feldman; Mr. Tim Miller, Engineer; and Mr. Bill Wuensch, Traffic Engineer, were present. The proposal is for an active agei restricted community consisting of approximately 120 apartment units. There is great demand for age restricted housing. Seminole Casa will fiti in nicely as a mixed-use residential development. There willl be a green buffer between the development and Route: 29. The net development impact would be approximately $142,000 and will have no impact on the local schools.

Board of Supervisors December 10, 2019 Sheet 10 RE: PUBLIC HEARING - METEORIC VENTURES. LLC - SPECIAL USE PERMIT Mr. Frydl said a Special Use Permit is required to build multi-family developments. A Special Use Permit allows the applicant or the Board to place conditions or restrictions on the development. The request is for 120 senior residential apartments for people age 55 and older. Senior residential apartments typically have a different traffic pattern than single family homes because the occupants are ofa different age and at a different point in their lives. Fiscal impact is Mr. Frydl said there has been a philosophy in Greene County that if a lot of conditions were needed on a Special Use Permit, then it was not a good parcel for the proposed use. Ifthe Board of Supervisors approved a project with certain expectations but conditions were not required, often times the expectations were not realized. Staff has worked with the applicant to make conditions SO that everyone is on the same page. This is what the Board will vote on and The Planning Commission held the first public hearing on August 21 and another public hearing on October 16, 2019 where concerns were addressed.

The two members of the Planning Commission who were opposed had concerns regarding the road. Mr. Herring questioned the site distance. The Traffic Engineer worked closed with VDOT and the conditions are acceptable to them. Mrs. Flynn said she struggles sometimes with what VDOT considers an acceptable volume and acceptable delays and the experience oft those who drive the road every day.

See APPENDIX C-Investigations, Lawsuits, and Complaints Document Page 14 Public Outreach and Involvement PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN Introduction The Public Participation Plan (PPP) is a guide for ongoing public participation endeavors. Its purpose is to ensure that Greene County Transit, Inc. utilizes effective means of providing information and receiving public input on transportation decisions from low income, minority and limited English proficient (LEP) populations, as required by Title VIoft the Civil Rights Act Under federal regulations, transit operators must take reasonable steps to ensure that Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons have meaningful access to their programs and activities. This means that public participation opportunities, normally provided in English, should be accessible to persons who have a limited ability to speak, read, write, or understand English. In addition to language access measures, other major components of the PPP include: public participation design factors; a range of public participation methods to provide information, to invite participation and/or to seek input; examples to demonstrate how population-appropriate outreach methods can be and were identified and utilized; and performance measures and Greene County Transit, Inc. established a public participation plan or process that will determine how, when, and how often specific public participation activities should take place, Greene County Transit, Inc. will make these determinations based on a demographic analysis of the population(s) affected, the type of plan, program, and/or service under consideration, and the resources available. Efforts to involve minority and LEP populations in public participation activities may include both comprehensive measures, such as placing public notices at all transit stations, stops, and vehicles, as well as targeted measures to address linguistic, institutional, cultural, economic, historical, or other barriers that may prevent minority and LEP persons from of1964 and its implementing regulations. objectives to ensure accountability and ai means for improving over time. and which specific measures are: most appropriate. effectively participating in our decision-making process.

LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN FOR PERSONS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP) LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN FOR PERSONS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP) Introduction and Legal Basis LEP is a term that defines any individual not proficient in the use of the English language. The establishment and operation of an LEP program meets objectives set forth in Title VI oft the Civil Rights Act and Executive Order 13116, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). This Executive Order requires federal agencies receiving financial assistance to address the needs of non-English speaking persons. The Executive Order also establishes compliance standards to ensure that the programs and activities that are provided by a transportation provider in English are accessible to LEP communities. This includes providing meaningful access to individuals who are limited in their use of English. The following LEP language implementation plan, developed by Greene County Transit, Inc. is based on FTA As required, Greene County Transit, Inc. developed a written LEP Plan (below). Using American Community Survey (ACS) Census data, Greene County Transit, Inc. has evaluated data to determine the extent of need for translation services ofi its vital documents and materials. LEP persons can be a significant market for public transit, and reaching out to these individuals can help increase their utilization of transit. Therefore, it also makes good business sense to translate vital information into languages that the larger LEP populations in the community can guidelines. understand. Assessment of Needs and Resources analysis as recommended by FTA guidance. The need and resources for LEP language assistance were determined through a four-factor Factor 1: Assessment of the Number and Proportion of LEP Persons Likely to be Served or Encountered in the Eligible Service Population The agency has reviewed census data on the number ofindividuals in its service area that have limited English Proficiency, as well as the languages they speak. U.S. Census Data - American Community Survey (2011-2015) Page 17 Data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) were obtained through www.census.gov by Greene County Transit's service area. The agency's service area includes a total of 494 (2.79%) persons with Limited English Proficiency (those persons who indicated that they spoke English "less than very well" in the 2011-2015 Information from the 2011-2015 ACS also provides more detail on the specific languages that are spoken by those who report that they speak English less than very well. Languages spoken at home by those with LEP are presented below. These data indicate the extent to which translations into other language are needed to meet the needs ofLEP ACS Census). persons.
