Good evening. My name is Kurt Bozenmayer, I'm from the Smith River district, and Iwould like to address the Board regarding the proposal to fund unexpected costs At the 8. July 2024 meeting, the Board of Supervisors was asked to fund a number of "unexpected costs" in the County, including $76k for school resource officers, $6k for animal shelter costs, $21k for JEB Stuart Rescue Squad, and $60k+ for replacement of the library HVAC system. The "agenda item" included "options" for funding these costs, including use of the Unrestricted Reserve Funds (listed as $11.2 million) or raising local taxes, such as the meals tax, the Personal Property Having paid taxes in Patrick County for over 20 years, have learned that the quickest way to have people hate you is to suggest "raising taxes." In discussion, the Supervisors indicated that they were reluctant to dipi into the URF funds (which are, at the end of the 20231 fiscal year, well above recommended levels) and reluctant to raise taxes that impact Patrick County residents, such as the meals tax or personal property tax. This led to tonight's public hearing on There seems to be some perception that the TOT tax does not impact PC residents and businesses, as it is paid by folks visiting from outside the County. However, each increase in TOT tax makes it more difficult for owners of campgrounds, bed- and-breakfasts, etc. to attract visitors, so this increase definitely DOES impact our Ithink there might have been ai third alternative to funding the unexpected costs: that $11.2 million in URE, if properly invested, should generate about $400k or more annually in interest or dividends. Why couldn'tt this interest be used for the unexpected costs? Then we wouldn'thave to dip into the principal or raise taxes. And now tonight the schools appear before you, asking for another million dollars. Are we going tot fund that byi increasing the TOT1 tax by another 10%?

J. Vaden Hunt, Esq., Attomey for the County ofl Pittsylvania, by U.S. postal mail  and electronic mail.  8  August 12, 2024  Page 30    New Business: Boy Scout Troop 69:  Several members of Boy Scout Troop 69 are working towards obtaining Eagle Scout designation. One of the criteria for Eagle Scout is communication. The Scouts presented questions to the Board for feedback and direction. Jane Fulk addressed Mr. Glenn Stovall's question citing the code of Virginia when there is a tie vote due to the  absence of a member.  2024 Troop 69 Boy Scouts of America  Glenn Stovall: What happens in the event therei is tie Vote during the absence ofa member? (A) Wel have adopted Roberts Rules of order. Witch isar nation-wide guideline tos standardize running official meetings. Roberts Rules states at tie would bet thes same asa "No". Asa Board we can look aheada and things! like "Bills and Appropriations" or something that must be done, we may go aheada and vote. Something like raising at tax or ani issue that wouldg greatly impact the County we cane elect tot table that issue untilt the next meeting whene everyone isb back. (A) As unpleasant ast taxes are, that isc our main source ofr money. There are severalt types oft taxes to tryt to makei it fair. So, ifidor not have property, won't paya anything where someone that hasa loto of property will. That isr not veryf fair. If, Thave really nice cars, trucks, boats, UTVs and the property owner doesn't, then lam paying thoset taxes and theya aren't. Other sources are from the State, we get millions from the Statet to help payf for Schools and certain salaries of positions required by the State. Feesf from various services andi from the courts andg grants. Ify youy wouid like tol learn morer maybey your Scout Leader can showy youh how to look up Patrick County's financial audit and look at what allt those sources are and where the moneys goes. (A) There are 2 ways taxes go up. lisa ast the cost ofe everything goes up and the County needs more moneyt to operate the Board cans vote tor raise at tax. Like the discussion we willl have tonight and about the transit occupancy tax. Like we hadt tor replace the HVACSystem int the Library, several years ago ity would have been cheaper. The otherr reason at tax willg go upi ist thev value of what the taxi ist based ong goes up. Soift the value ofy yourp property goes upa and the tax rates stayst the same, (A) Therei isal list of key things of what attracts a business toal locality. Things like Unemployment rate, a high rate means there areal lot of people withoutj jobs and the business willl havea workforce to hire. The construction on 58 willi improve transportation to improve shipping and receiving. Several Broadband projects toi improve communication. Education, our schools have been int the top: 25 schools int the Statef for the past 25) years, This past yeari int the top 10. Thisis veryi important asab business movingi ina and bringing peoplei in, their kids willl have a good education. P&HCC dedication tos support ther needs oft the County, meansi ifal business has certain certification ore educational needst they can work with P&HCC tof fulfill those needs. The County has 3 Enterprise Zones thato carrys some taxb benefits and makes obtaining grants easier.  EliFain: How does the county earn money for the budget?  Keandre Robinson: Why dot taxes have tol keeps going up?  the tax goes up even though we didn't raise taxes. Cameron Cassel: How are new Business being attracted tot the county?  August 12, 2024  Page 31    Tourism continues tor market the County and our Economical Development: and Chamber of Commerse have thingsi int the workst tos support business, and developing plans tok keept the Aiden Slate: What can be done toi improve technicalt trainingi inc our county schools? (A) Icant think ofr much that isr missing. Our technical schooli iss set up So when a student graduates theys graduate with a certification sot they can go out and work int that field. Programs include, Auto Mech, Buildingt traits, computer design/ /CNC, cosmetology, nursing, welding, agriculture, horticulture. PCHS also collaborates with Community collages to bring advanced credited courses and al lineman's course although that does have limits due toi inheritr risks. Iftherei is something youf feel isr missing, like ane electrical course, you would use this same process to address the School Board. Use data to show the need for the course and ask that they consider Evan! Kruse: How willl Patrick Co benefit from the construction ont the mountain? (A) Patrick Co is the short cut from the intersection of7 77 and 81, a very major truck route, to Danville, Greensboro, and the ports at VAE Beach. This would make ani ideal spotf fora a business to movei into. Easier access fort travelers and tourismt tos stop at our stores and spends some money in our shops. IF, people would drive safelyt the grade and the 41 lane wouldr make going upa and downt the mountain: safer ast the 21 lane created manyi issuesf for tractor trailers. Helpy witho quicker Owen Kruse: Has the county ever considered letting some oft the animals walk during the paradest to (A) Thisi is ag goodt thought, llike it, but nol Icannot say we have. This isr not at function oft the Bos. The Bosi isr responsible for more upperl level administrative, legislative, andi financial responsibilities. The BoS oversees the County Administrator, County! level councils and committees. The Administrator oversees those departments. The Head oft the animals shelter would! have to initiate putting the shelter animals ina a parade. Hopefully work with other animal shelters and come up with a plan. They would then submit the plant tot the Co. Administrator. Depending oni if therei isab budget needi it wouldn't come inf front oft the BoS tor make the decision on. Jude Spangler: What plans does Patrick County have for companies who want tob bring something like (A) Whatr make this at toughi issue is we alll have rights. As a property owner that pays taxes, one should have the rightt to do what they want to ont their property, with inr reason. So whati is reasonable? How do we definei it?Ofc course, ifitisa against the law or violates State of Federal regulations, that is easy for the government tos step ina and take that righta away from the property owner. Also, how toy we ensure we are being fair? You are my friends So we willa allow yout top puta a raçe track iny yourk back yard, but Mr. Kindrick here,! Idon't know, SO we won't let him. Not fair. Wes start with our Comprehensive Plan. Ad comp plan describes what the County looks! like now and what ity wantst tob be. Itisali living document: and provides guidance toe elected officials on planning related decisions. AC Comp Planr must be properly wordedi inordert to give strength to an ordinance. Fore example, ifour Comp Plan says we have 3E Enterprise Zones to  businesses we already have.  it.  response time fore emergency services.  help placet those animals?  solar powert tot the area?  August 12, 2024  Page 32    improve and: supporti industry, then make and ordinance that prevents building a building thata business need int that zone. Aj property owner int that zone couldo challenge the County andy win top put upt that building because the ordinance doesn't support the County'sgoal. We: are working ont the Comp Plan toe ensure ity will support those ordinances. An ordinance, ist the County's definition of what isr reasonable. So, ifour Comp Plans says our view shedi isi important tou us, we cani insuret the property has little tor nov visualy vantage point to passers-by. Ifito doesn't then itis outside ofr reason where the government can say no the the property owner. Our wildlife and forestt that iss supported by requirements from the State Forestry and Wildlife departments then we wouldi include a forest will not be cleared, withouta plant tor replacei it. We are working very) hard on both the Comp Plan and the Ordinance. I've lost track ofv whaty version we are on, but some things have recently come upt that would! lead ust to addi tot the ordinance. This defines where rights begin ande end sot the county cans step ina and Thati is the short answer, and this just doesn'tgof fors solar but anything else that may want to come into the county. Thati isv whyi is its soi important tol have a doctrinally sound Comp Plan and  fairly tellt the property owner yes orr no.  ordinance.

Unfortunately, there are no past records/data to accurately predict the annual costs of these services sO we are conservatively  estimating them at $500 per month or $6,000 per year.  JEB Stuart Rescue Squad:  When we were working through the budget in April/May we were told by their representatives that JEB Stuart Rescue Squad would cease operations on June 1, 2024 sO we took their Rescue Squad funding of $21,062 out of the budget.
