The Town would appreciate any contribution that the County could make towards this project. Mr. Taylor said that Ms. Morris has the understanding of the ARPA guidelines that only the stormwater costs would be an allowable expenditure. Mr. Taylor said that hes strongly recommends that any amount appropriated fori this project by thel Board of Supervisors should be designated for the expressed purpose of stormwater and should not exceed $246,320. Mr. Herring asked Ms. Morris, ifv we expended $400,000 for an ambulance and the amount we have earmarked for Broadband, what would be left. Ms. Morris said that total would be $297,568. Mr. Bowman said that he feels the Board should consider something for the Town, but also feels that we should hold onto some of those funds for use by public safety.

Mr. Dye said that he felt that statement referred to the match. Ms. Heflin echoed Mr. Bowmans comments on the use of our remaining ARPA funds. Mr. Lamb also agreed. Ms. Durrer said that she feels we do need to designate some ofour funds towards the stormwater aspects of this project. Mr. Herring also agreed. He asked ifthis is at time sensitive request.

RE: VDOTQUARTERLY MEETING AND SECONDARY SIX YEAR PLAN Ms. Carrie Shepheard, Resident Engineer, was present to share her quarterly update. She shared that not much has changed in the way oft the Route 29/33 Intersection Improvement Project, the Route 670 Connector Road Project or the Route 638 Turkey Ridge Road Bridge Replacement Project. Bingham Mountain Road construction will be completed this summer. Construction on Simmons Gap Road will begin once it has been fully funded in the Six Year Plan as of. July 1, 2022. The Route 810 Scenic Byway sign installation is still pending. The request for traffic calming at Holly Hill Drive was investigated. The speed study has been completed and it has been found that this does not qualify for VDOT traffic calming. The signage on Route 33 Business will be installed east of Route 230 once the Streetscape project is completed. Per the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), improvements are scheduled to be installed at the intersection of Route 29 and Route 609 this week which include stop bars at east and westbound Fredericksburg Road and in the median refuge, and chevrons, right turn arrow and left curve with intersection warning signs for southbound Route 29. Ms. Shepheard said that they are hoping that those improvements help with the safety of this intersection and that VDOT will continue to monitor after those improvements are installed. Mr. Bowman asked ift these steps were taken based on the crash information. Ms. Shepheard said they were. She said that she would share the report with the Board. Mr. Lamb said that there have been 31 accidents at that intersection. Mr. Lamb asked ifVDOT could reduce the speed limit and install rumble strips across the road. Ms. Shepheard Board of Supervisors May 10, 2022 Sheet 10 said that VDOT would like to make the improvements she just mentioned and monitor their success before they move onto more expensive remedies. Mr. Bowman asked how VDOT would evaluate those improvements. Ms. Shepheard said they like to monitor for one to three years to see the benefit. She said they get accident data immediately. Ms. Heflin asked that Ms. Shepheard share the report with the Board regarding the Route Ms. Shepheard recapped the current draft plan priorities of the Secondary Six Year Plan which include Simmons Gap Road, which will be fully funded this July, Ice House Road, which will be funded July, 2023, South River Road, which will be funded July, 2024 and Welsh Run Road, which will be funded July, 2025. There is nothing planned for FY27 and FY 28 and there 29 and Route 609 intersection. are unallocated funds in the amount of $337,596. Mr. Frydl shared aj presentation which showed visuals oft the projects that Ms. Shepheard just went over. He said that the Board could consider adding additional area of Welsh Run Road and a portion ofl Entry Run Road. Mr. Joel Warren was present to question the Route 29 and Route 33 construction that is beginning and whether it will impact the flow of traffic from Moore Road. He said that he is worried that the new road where the apartments are is going to is going to create aj problem since there is no light there. Ms. Mallory Lamb was present via Zoom to share that she feels the intersection at Route 29 and Route 609 is extremely unsafe. She does not feel that the measures that VDOT took are enough. She said we should be proactive, not reactive, and should shave down the bank. Mr. Herring asked Mr. Shepheard to address the comment regarding Route 29 and Route 33. She said that the decision to allow no left turn at Stoneridge intersection was made because Route 29 is a corridor ofs statewide significance and VDOT did not want to increase delay time on Route 29. Ms. Heflin said that Mallory had a good point about putting money towards intersection improvements rather than just putting that money towards increasing site distance at the intersection of Route 29 and Route 609. Ms. Shepheard said that the estimate for the low-cost options was about $10,000. To shave the banks and add the vertical curves could be a Smart Scale project. Another option would be to make that intersection a R-Cut which would eliminate some oftheconflicting movements. There is also revenue sharing option with a 50/50 match as aj project. Mr. Bowman said that Route 29 Northbound in Northern VA, VDOT did a shave down. He would love to know the cost as he feels that is the kind of project that needs to be done here. The Board thanked Ms. Shepheard for her presentation.

Mr. Lamb asked ifh he ever connects with thel hotel. Mr. Yost said that the marketing manager is on the committee, but she has been busy and has not been able to attend many oft the meetings.

Ms. Heflin asked about article 2 number 7 that states that they should annually participate in thel budget process by preparing and presenting the' Tourism Budget directly to the Board. Mr. Taylor said that the intention was for them to speak to the investment of the TOT dollars for tourism purposes. Ms. Heflin said that article 2 number 4 says the meeting shall be held bi-monthly at such times and locations that the council may find convenient.

He said that the upcoming reassessment due for January 1, 2023 can only be a tabletop reassessment by Pearson's. He said that he is also looking into a full-blown reassessment which would be effective. January 1, 2025. Mr. Lamb said that he is unsure how an assessment can be done during the inflation that we are experiencing. Mr. Taylor said that there is curiosity about future values and the changes in interest rates. The values will be reached fairly, using the same criteria, the same market data, the same history. There is uniformity that all are being treated the same by the same professional. Once those values come to the Board and the Board applies the rate with the tax levy there is an opportunity for an adjustment in the rate as the Board sees fit. Ms. Heflin clarified that we' re only going to do a tabletop reassessment rather than the full one because they'r 're too busy. Mr. Taylor said that there is too much work involved in doing the full reassessment to go door to door and they do not have the stafft to doit. Ms. Heflin asked ifwe reached out to other firms. Mr. Taylor said yes. She asked if our neighboring counties are having the same issue. Mr. Taylor said that hel had spoken with a neighbor and got a reference for a firm that was unable to accommodate us at this time. Mr. Herring said that the tabletop process is a normal process that happens frequently. Mr. Mr. Bowman said that this is something that should be discussed during the budget process Taylor said iti is. and there could be a schedule as to when full blown assessments should be done.
