RE: APPROPRIATE $12,889.74 FROM THE FOREST SUSTAINABILITY GRANT AND The Commissioner of Revenue applied for funding through the Virginia Department of Forestry's Forest Sustainability Fund for Local Government. The General Assembly established the Forest Sustainability Fund in 2022 for localities to apply for an allocation from the fund tol help offset lower, or forgone, tax revenue for property that is within forestry land use. Localities shall GIVE DIRECTION ON HOW THE GRANTI FUNDS ARETOBE: SPENT submit annually by November 15 to receive funding. Greene County was notified in December that it qualified for an allocation of $12,889.74 tooffset the lost revenue amount of $934,651.17. Virginia Code sections 58.1-3242.1 requires the funding to be utilized for public education generally or for projects related to outdoor recreation or forest conservation. In October 2022, the Board of Supervisors accepted and allocated a $7,500.00 grant from Sentara Healthcare toward the creation of a fitness trail within the Greene County Community Park. That funding allows for the purchase of a knee lift station, a body curl station, a bench dip station, and a push-up station, but there are other additional pieces of equipment the department had hoped to purchase to complete the trail. It is the recommendation of staff that the $12,889.74 inl Forest Sustainability Fund monies be used to expand the offerings for the trail, as well as cover the cost ofi installation of the new equipment and any mulching that may need to be purchased for the course. Upon motion by Steve Bowman, second by Davis Lamb and unanimous roll call vote, the Board approved the resolution as presented.

They also made the recommendation that the County fill the Fire Chief position and ask the Chief to recommend aj plan of action going forward. Also, just this afternoon, the Ruckersville Fire Company Chief sent a communication to the County withdrawing the company's request for career staffing. This email was to Brenda Garton, Interim County Administrator, from Fire ChiefEnoch Hoard of the Ruckersville Volunteer Fire Company and it stated that, "This email is to inform you and the county supervisors that Ruckersville Volunteer Fire Company wishes to withdraw its request for career staffing, a request made by our former Chief David Morris." Chief Hoard goes on to explain his rationale for doing SO.

The installation at this intersection can be accomplished this year using local district funds.

Mr. Frydl shared slides showing the proposed intersection and crash data. He said that, ifapproved by the Board, this project would start in the summer and would likely be completed very quickly.

Ms. Heflin said that she iss skeptical, but truly hopeful that this will help. Mr. Herring agreed with the comments from other Board members and said that ift this could potentially help to save a life, the Board has to take this IMPROVEMENTS ATTHE INTERSECTION OF ROUTES 29 AND 609 step.
