RE: MATTERS FROM THE PUBLIC  Mr. Todd Sansom, Vice Chair of the Greene County School Board, referred to a recent letter from the School Superintendent and School Board Chair regarding CARES Act funds. This letter outlines expenses incurred by Greene County Public Schools since the outbreak of the Coronavirus in March as well as expenses related to efforts to return to school this fall. Expenses include cleaning and disinfecting of buildings; expenses related to providing paid sick and paid family and medical leave; materials and supplies to enhancei the safety ofthose who enter buildings to include masks, PPE, cleaning supplies, plexiglass, thermometers, hand sanitizer, and signage; There are challenges to be met such as supporting remote learning through educational technology, including hardware, software, connectivity, assistive technology, and adaptive equipment; supporting needs of all students including mental health services and support and services allowable under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act; maintaining operations and continuity ofs services and many other additional services to comply with guidelines from the statel level. The School is eligible to receive an allocation through the CARES/ESSER Act funding for over $357,000 for COVID related impacts over the next two years. The set aside for private The Greene County School Board formally requests funds for a variety ofinternet related items including hotspots, web cameras, microphones for instruction, additional personnel hours for online learning preparation and training; and language translation services. Internet connectivity continues to be a constant barrier. The School is hopeful the County will see the urgency of connectivity shortcomings and help address them before children, particularly in rural areas, are left further behind. Education is essential therefore access is essential. They are hopeful that the Board of Supervisors will make improving internet connectivity their highest priority. The Ms. Gwen Baker spoke on internet access as well. She has to work from home since the business in Charlottesville closed. Internet access has become an extremely important part ofh her life. Itis very poor here in Greene County and she would love to see CARES Act money go towards better internet access. She also asked the Board to consider putting aside the expenditure  and to prepare and distribute more than 50,000 meals for students.  school use is estimated at $50,000 and will be deducted from the $357,000.

Aconcurrent public hearing is being held as the information is the same for all three requests. The applicant owns and maintains two mobile home parks, Park 1 and Park 2, which are currently zoned R-2. A Special Use Permit for the mobile home parks was granted in 2011. The applicant is planning to remove 41 mobile home lots from Park 1 and relocate them to Park 3. To do this, the applicant is requesting a rezone and a Special Use Permit for the adjacent parcel to the east, Park 3, to accommodate 41 mobile home lots.

The site plan submitted for the mobile home park shall bei in general accordance with the concept plan created by Timmons Group and dated 5/12/2020 The density on the parcel shall not exceed 72 mobile homes  Mr. Lamb felt clarification is needed that the five additional mobile homes in Park 2 will not be developed until the five existing apartments are: removed. Mr. Frydl said the density could not exceed 72 mobile homes and existing apartments would bei removed. Mr. Herring asked about edus and Mr. Frydl said the number of edus should be the same and will be reviewed during the  site plan process.  Mr. Frank Stoner and Mr. L.J. Lopez were present to discuss the requests.    Board of Supervisors August 11,2020 Sheet 6  The widening of Route 33 is scheduled for construction in early 2022. Direct access to Jennings Loop will be removed as part of the widening project. Part of reason for this application and some sense of urgency is to try to get a replacement location for the park prior to construction of Route 33 which will substantially disrupt access. The number ofunits is not increasing sO there should not be an increase in water and sewer usage. There is some concern about cost as some of the residents of the park are at the very low end of the income scale in Greene. Mr. Stoner said they would like an agreement to shift edus from Park 1 to Park 3. The apartment house isi in such poor condition that it will have to be torn down. One of the long-term motivations is to create opportunities on Route 29 at the intersection for more appropriate mixed-use development. Mr. Lopez said Route 33 Holdings has purchased the property for Park 3 with the intent to support affordable housing in the community as opposed to displacing residents. The application Ini response to a question by Mrs. Durrer regarding sewer, Mr. Stoner said the plan is to use drain fields as currently used in Park 1 and Park 2. Mrs. Durrer said she had heard complaints about sewage smells at the current parks. Not all residents will have the means to move their trailers and al lot ofthe trailers are older. She asked ift the applicant will be able toj provide financial assistance associated with the move. Mr. Stoner said they are seeking funding from VHDA to assist with this project and there may be grant funds available through Piedmont Housing Alliance. They do not want to see displacements. Mr. Lopez said discussions about the move are in early Mrs. Durrer said moving may create al hardship for people who don'tdrive and walk to the store now. Traffic backs up on Route 33 east at least % to 34 mile in the afternoons. This will put that much more traffic on Route 33 east. Currently, Park 1 residents go through the Wendy's Mr. Martin read each individual requests. The floor was opened for public comments on Ms. Gwen Baker expressed concern for the current residents of Park 1 paying for the cost ofmoving their home as many are low income. She was also concerned about traffic as well as Mr. Tim Anderson was concerned about drain fields being located behind his house. His well is located within 51 to 10 feet of the property line. The drain field will be elevated and runoff Mr. Scott Turbiner, 15300 Spotswood Trail, said he was also speaking on behalf of his neighbor at 15336 Spotswood Trail. He asked what guarantee is there that the park will not Ms. Christina Bateman, resident of. Jennings Loop, had concerns about the overall rezone and the costs to residents to move their homes. She noted current problems with plumbing in the park and traffic on Route 33. Having one entrance for 100 plus homes is al big deal. Mr. Lylel Durrer, 15337 Spotswood' Trail, said his property is directly across Route 33 from proposed Park 3. He and his family strongly oppose the rezone and asked the Board to deny the request. The applicant is moving the trailers to access the land for development. Mr. Durrer felt issues with providing water and sewer: need tol be addressed before any new major development in Greene occurs.

Board of Supervisors August 11, 2020 Sheet7  Mr. Durrer also said the consumption of natural resources, decreased land values, and changing  the character of the neighborhood should be considered.  The public hearing was closed.  Mr. Stoner said the mobile home park will definitely not encroach on other properties. He shared concerns for residents and is committed toi making sure residents have affordable strategies forrelocation. Traffic issues exist today and are exacerbated by the current configuration ofr roads around the intersection. A secondary emergency access route out of Park 2 can be provided if necessary. Mr. Stoner did not agree that land values will be affected. Thea application is completely consistent with the County's current Comprehensive Plan. The developer would make sure any drain field built would not cause problems for adjoining property owners. The park may connect to public sewer in the future. Mr. Stoner said it willl likely be 121 to 18 months before new lots are ready and another 12 to 18 months to move homes to the new park. It could take as long as three years to get everyone relocated. Additional commercial development will generate revenue for Mrs. Durrer felt this rezone would change the character of that piece of property and she did not like to see agricultural property used for something else. Greene was a big agricultural county at one time. She would like to discuss conditions ift the Board approves this. Mr. Lamb agreed that traffic does back up on Route 33 and hel had suggestions on how the traffic pattern could be changed to alleviate congestion. He said he appreciated the efforts by the Mr. Bowman said he attended the Planning Commission meeting and appreciates thei issues residents will face int terms ofmovingi int two to four years. Owners do not have toi move thei mobile home park and he likes that they are trying to maintain affordable housing in the area. Mr. Herring agreed with previous comments. The developer does not have to do this and is looking at ways to help offset the cost of moving. New infrastructure should resolve issues. This project will not create additional traffic asi it will be the same number of units. Mr. Martin was confident that the Health Department would not permit a drain field that would encroach on a drinking water source. The character of the area will change a bit but the property isi in a designated growth area. This is one oft the two most important intersections in our growth corridor and we've all been looking for positive commercial and retail growth that adds to our tax base and provides more jobs. Thisi is an essential area for economic development. Property values near this area will increase as it builds out.

RE: FIRE AND EMS STUDY  Ms. Meador said the County submitted a request to the Virginia Department of Fire Programs last year for ai review ofthe fire and EMS system in Greene County. The purpose oft the review was to provide an objective view ofservices and feedback on successful areas, areas that could use improvement, and subsequent recommendations. The review was conducted free of charge and recommendations provided should not be construed as legal advice or as a binding recommendation. This study is a good starting point and we must continue to move forward. Mr. Lee Day, Virginia Fire Services Council; Mr. Travis Rickman, Government Affairs Manager for the Department of Fire Programs; and Ms. Bettie Reeves-Nobles, Virginia Fire Mr. Day reviewed a summary of the study which was organized in five divisions: organizational development; communication, training; budget and administration; and delivery of Greene County should consider the feasibility of hiring a Chief/Director of Fire and Greene County should adopt and implement a strategic plan for fire and EMS services Greene County should create countywide Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for fire The County should improve the effectiveness of the Emergency Services Board by Greene County should consider hosting a strategic communication session to discuss ways Greene County 911 dispatch should submit monthly dispatch statistics to aid the locality The County should pursue a comprehensive joint training program between all three volunteer fire companies and EMS to ensure proper basic training, etc. and review on Greene County should implement an annual audit of all fire and EMS providers with line Greene County should complete an annual needs assessment for the delivery of fire and  Services Board, were present.  services.

He stressed continuity and centralized authority. The! Emergency Services Board is currently operating in a way that lacks structure. Budgeting is another area he stressed. Itis extremely important to know why the money is needed. A recruitment and retention plan will be vital to sustain volunteer Mr. Martin questioned the reaction to the potential ofa centralized authority. Mr. Lees said it was new to the fire companies but one or two of the companies seemed receptive. Mr. Martin also asked what was envisioned for mediated or facilitated communication on 911 dispatch. Mr. Rickman said it would be up to the County to hire an outside mediator or allow the centralized authority to handle. There seemed to be a lack of understanding as how 911 dispatch operates. Mr. Lamb said he liked the development of a strategic plan, the use of the Virginia Fire Mr. Herring felt the report hit on al lot ofkey areas such as financial reporting. An internal audit would provide clarity as to what money is being spent on and how much funding the County actually appropriates to emergency services. Bylaws for thel Emergency Services Board would be Mr. Bowman said he has been in public safety services for over 50 years and knows that the volunteers are dedicated, hardworking people who sacrifice a lot both personally and professionally. They need tol be supported and trained. He does not think most people understand the complex nature of running a fire organization both operationally and administratively. This study is a good start. The Board is now oni notice ofmajor deficiencies in fire servicei in the county. We are going to need to act, at some point, to correct some of the things in place. Mr. Bowman felt it is a fundamental duty ofl local government to provide fire, law enforcement, and EMS. Itis incumbent upon the Board to ensure service provided complies with standards and performance measures applicable. Our decision will impact lives and property. He will be drafting ai resolution Ms. Bettie Reeves-Nobles spoke on budgeting by the separate departments. There needs tob be standardized reporting and documentation of money received and spent.

RE: CARESACTUPDATE  Mr. Taylor provided an update on uses being considered for Greene County's CARES Act funds. Greene County received $1,729,131 in. June of2020 and expects $1,729,131 in September. The money came with a set of spending parameters and will have to be paid back if not spent in accordance with those parameters. CARES funds cannot be used for budgeted costs; can be used for substantially different than expected uses; and can only cover costs incurred between March 1 and December 30, 2020. Critical needs categories include: personal protective equipment (PPE), minor facilities modifications, business disruption relief, and space constraint mitigation. The Board of Supervisors approved $50,000 in FY 20 and another $50,000 in FY21 for PPE and minor facilities modifications. Business disruption grants were also approved for FY21 Space constraints mitigation is needed at the Registrar's Office, General District.Juvenile & Domestic District Courts, and Parks and Recreation Office. Mr. Taylor said spacei issues will be addressed by the strategic placement of four manufactured units. One will be an addition to the Registrar's Office, two will serve as satellite space for lower courts, and one will be the new Parks Progress towards implementation of Greene County EMS has included an inspection and evaluation of the existing Rescue Squad building that revealed numerous significant problems.

Board of Supervisors August 11, 2020 Sheet 13  ac cost-effective modular or manufactured rescue squad solution. There is justification for the use OfCARES Act funds to meet this critical community need. The budgeted amount for this project is $1.4 million. Additional use of funds includes: building safety modifications at $157,000; Circuit Court modifications at $30,000; installation of drop boxes at $11,000; and modifications CARES Act parameters allow costs of critical operations conducted that are substantially different than expected. Those costs include: the EMS UVA contract - $677,649; EMS StaffOps - $212,525; and public safety -$348,064. Community interactive public safety staff operations, though budgeted for, are sO substantially different due to the pandemic that they qualify for coverage with CARES Act dollars.
