Board of Supervisors July 28, 2020 Sheet 5  RE: GREENE COUNTY WATER SUPPLY PROJECTUPDATE AND RESPONSETO  RAPIDAN SERVICE, AUTHORITY ACTION OF JULY16.2020 this exclusively and it was also discussed in closed meeting this evening. unaware oft the motion and voted against it. The motion included: toF RSA prior to the initiation of any new water service.  Mr. Martin said the Board held a special emergency meeting on. July 21, 2020 to discuss Mr. Taylor said the RSA Board took action on a motion that was hidden from the public and Greene County. The two Greene County representatives, Mr. Martin and Mr. Williams, were Effective July 17, 2020, all water availability fees in Greene County will be paid directly Effective July 17, 2020, water facility fees will no longer bel billed or collected by RSA. Effective July 17,2020, sewer facility fees will no longer be billed or collected by RSA. Each oft these actions is contrary to agreements signed by RSA and Greene County and one party alone cannot change a signed contract. This action by the RSA Board demands a response from Greene County. Our water supply project must proceed to provide service to existing and future customers. The RSA Board did not apply their usual rule of deference to Greene County and thinks everyone who pays real estate tax should pay a bigger share oft the costs of our water project. The Board of Supervisors sets the Greene County tax rates. Building the water system RSA was created as an authority on. June 2, 1969 by Orange, Madison and Greene counties. An authority is similar to aj partnership where members join together to achieve shared goals or to advance a common mission. RSA does not work like a partnership and is really more of a confederation oft the three counties. Separate books are kept for each County it serves and for each RSA was created to do two main things or "purposes". Purpose A was the acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance ofa a water transmission, storage, and distribution system in Orange County. This purpose was achieved. Purpose B was the acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance of water supply and treatment facilities plus a water transmission storage and distribution system in Greene County that will supply, treat and transmit water from a water impoundment site near Stanardsville to the Town of Stanardsville and to the Ruckersville community and the area along Route US 33 between Stanardsville and Ruckersville. Greene County is still waiting for RSA to fulfill its purpose of providing a decent water system for Stanardsville. More than 35 years after RSA was created, Greene County still does not have an impoundment. In 2005, Greene County agreed to take on our own water supply project and Greene County's Water Supply Project is on track and looking forward tol breaking ground next year. The site has been selected and property purchased. Engineering and design of our system improvements is complete. Following multiple presentations about the progress of our Water Supply Project, the RSA Board of Members was asked to act on a slate of gradual water facility fee increases consistent with the Stantec Plan of Finance that RSA has known about since 2017. Greene County asked the RSA Board to follow our lead on a matter of great importance that would affect only Greene County per their rule of deference. Thei majority oft the RSA Board, representatives from Orange and Madison, put Greene County's preferences aside and put our water supply plan aside. They refused to act on the facility fee increases and instead took three unilateral actions on July 16th, all of them in violation of existing agreements. Their actions are  was supposed to be RSA's job but they did not do it.  system it operates within those counties.  assumed millions of dollars ofRSA debt.  sabotaging Greene County's future.    Board of Supervisors July 28, 2020 Sheet 6  Mr. Taylor noted complaints about the water supply, or lack thereof, in Stanardsville. During a fire department training, the water supply tot the Stanardsvillea area was severelyimpacted. Mr. Taylor said the amount of water used during that training exercise would be equal to what RSA's lack of transparency and unwillingness to engage with the Greene County community about our needs, our priorities, and our programs with their system is a big problem. Itisr reasonable to expect RSA to bej proactive and helpful when service is interrupted. Customers want to know what is going on and what to expect. Getting information about a service outage RSA has a total of ten projects in Orange County and three each in Madison and Greene. Significantly more has been done toi improve systems in Orange than Madison or Greene. RSAis A safe and reliable water supply is al high priority and is critical to Greene County's future. Greene County has been frustrated by RSA's lack of attention and failure to fulfill its mission to our community for many years. It was RSA'sinattention to Ruckersville needs that drove Greene County to agree to build our own Water Supply Project. RSA has not fulfilled its purpose in Mr. Taylor said, at the direction of the Board of Supervisors, a resolution was drawn up whereby Greene County is requesting an amicable withdrawal from the Rapidan Service  would be used to fight a house fire.  four days after the fact is not good.  clearly pushing for Orange County's future.

There appears to be no plan to present to Greene County which takes away input from citizens, the Planning Commission, and thel Board of Supervisors as tol how we as a county will grow. They have stopped our growth and arel hindering our future. RSA had discussed taking on the funding fort this project and later said they could fund halft the project ifGreene turned over all financial resources we had and increased taxes toj pay for the other $30 million. No recreational activities would be available to citizens ifRSA builds. The Planning Commission asked a representative ofRSA to attend their meeting but no one showed up. Mr. Herring said he was very surprised by actions of the RSA Mr. Lamb referred to the water system service agreement section 4a.2 which states RSA shall collect the aforesaid water system facility fee on aj periodic basis in accordance with policy and procedures. RSA will disburse the County the amount of fees collected less the 10% administrative charge. They would have to get permission from Virginia Resource Authority to Mrs. Durrer said it is clear to her that RSA does not want Greene County. They want us Mr. Martin said hei is very sorry tos see what was tol have been aj partnership with our service authority turn into an adversarial relationship. The RSAI Board of Members voted to terminate the facility fee, ignoring the wishes and actions that the Greene County Board of Supervisors took on July 14. This much needed water project must be paid for somehow. If facility fees disappear, the only way to pay for the project would be significantly higher water usage rates. The second option would be to significantly raise real estate property taxes which he is dead set against.
