THANK YOU, MA'AM. MR. MANAGER, BEFORE WE JUMP INTO TONIGHT'S AGENDA, I'D LIKE TO TAKE A QUICK POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE AND TURN IT OVER TO OUR VICE CHAIR MS. O'BANNON TO READ A QUICK STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: THIS IS A STATEMENT FOR THE HENRICO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. THE ENTIRE BOARD.

EARLIER TODAY THE HENRICO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THE COUNTY MANAGER STOOD WITH THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. ON BEHALF OF THE HENRICO COUNTY FAMILY, WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO THOSE GRIEVING FROM THE TRAGIC AND SENSELESS TAKING OF INNOCENT LIFE THAT OCCURRED LAST WEEK NEAR ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

THE SHOCK WAVE OF RAW PAIN AND FEAR FROM THOSE MOMENTS WAS FELT AROUND THE WORLD AND WE HERE IN HENRICO COUNTY CANNOT REMAIN SILENT. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT HENRICO COUNTY STANDS WITH THE ASIAN COMMUNITY.

WE OFFER OUR PLEDGE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT BY YOU.

WE WILL SEEK EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT YOU, YOUR FAMILIES, YOUR HOMES AND YOUR BUSINESSES WHICH ARE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY'S FOUNDATION AND AS A COMMITTED PARTNER, WE WILL TAKE ACTION TO ENSURE YOU REMAIN SAFE AND PROSPEROUS.

WE VOW TO YOU THAT HENRICO COUNTY WILL STRIVE TO BE A PLACE OF INCLUSION, RESPECT AND FREEDOM.

THE HENRICO FAMILY IS DETERMINED TO BE THAT LIGHT THAT LETS LOVE REIGN. THANK YOU.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM.

MR. MANAGER, AS WE MOVE INTO THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT, WE'LL START FIRST WITH OUR APPROVAL OF OUR MINUTES FROM ORMARCH 9 MEETING.

[4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES – March 9, 2021, Regular and Special Meetings ]

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: MOVE FOR

APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: MOTION MADE BY MS. O'BANNON AND SECOND BY MR. THORNTON. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

[01:10:03]

ANY OPPOSED? IT CARRIES.

>>> I HAVE SEVERAL COMMENTS THIS EVENING FOR THE BOARD OF

[5. MANAGER’S COMMENTS ]

SUPERVISORS. WE BEGIN WITH A COMMENT OF RECOGNITION. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN WE HAVE AN EMPLOYEE THAT IS RECOGNIZED IN SOME WAY THAT I THINK THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF.

IN THIS CASE I'M REFERRING TO DEPUTY COUNTY ATTORNEY MARISSA MITCHELL. MARISSA, COME ON FORWARD AND I WILL KEEP MY MASK ON BECAUSE I KNOW THE BOARD WILL WANT TO RECOGNIZE YOU BUT SHE HAS BEEN A MEMBER OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SINCE 2003. SHE IS A PAST MEMBER OF THE HENRICO COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION AND SHE IS A CURRENT MEMBER OF THE VIRGINIA STATE BAR COUNSEL. SO WHY IS MS. MITCHELL BEING RECOGNIZED? BECAUSE SHE HAS RECENTLY BEEN INVITED TO JOIN THE BOYD GRAVE CONFERENCE.

THIS IS A PRESTIGIOUS GROUP OF 100 LAWYERS, PROFESSORS AND LEGISLATORS THROUGHOUT THE COMMONWEALTH IN THE MISSION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF CIVIL JUSTICE IN THE COMMONWEALTH BY STUDY, DISCUSSION AND CONSENSUS. BEGAN OVER 35 YEARS AGO WAS A SMALL INFORMAL GROUP OF ATTORNEYS INTERESTED IN LAW REFORM. THE BOYD GRAVES CONFERENCE HAS GROWN IN STRUCTURE AND MEMBERSHIP AND IT IS BY INVITATION ONLY. THE CONFERENCE IS GOVERNED BY A STEERING COMMITTEE AND CHAIR AND MEETS ANNUALLY TO DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE SUPREME COURT OR GENERAL ASSEMBLY FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO VIRGINIA'S LAWS ON CIVIL PROCEDURE.

MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, PLEASE JOIN ME IN CONGRATULATING MS. MITCHELL FOR RECEIVING THIS INVITATION AND HER EXCELLENT SERVICE TO OUR COUNTY.

>> THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY HUMBLING THING TO GET THIS INVITATION TO THE BOYD GRAVES CONFERENCE.

JOE RAPASARTA SERVED ON THIS BOARD AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS WORK. I'M EXCITED TO SERVE AND LEARN FROM THE DIVERSE GROUP OF FOLKS IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION.

I'M ALSO REALLY GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP FROM JOE AND NOW TOM WHERE WE'RE REALLY ENCOURAGED AND SUPPORTED TO STRETCH OURSELVES AND SERVE IN THIS WAY.

AND OF COURSE FROM THE LEADERSHIP OF THE COUNTY AS A

WHOLE SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> MR. CHAIRMAN, MY SECOND COMMENT THIS EVENING INVOLVES OUR ORGANIZATION.

OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN THERE IS SOMETHING THAT SOME SORT OF EXTERNAL RECOGNITION THAT COMES FORWARD THAT REALLY WE NEED TO CAUSE, WE NEED TO PAUSE AND CELEBRATE. BECAUSE IT IS INDICATIVE OF SOMETHING AND I'M NOT GOING TO RUIN THE SURPRISE, BUT I'M GOING TO ASK OUR HR DIRECTOR, MS. YVETTE GEORGE TO COME FORWARD AND SHARE EXCITING NEWS WITH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

JUST WANT TO READ A STATEMENT. CREATING A CULTURE WHERE EMPLOYEES FEEL ENGAGED, APPRECIATED, AND FULFILLED IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY HARD TO DO.

BUT HENRICO COUNTY HAS DONE THAT.

HENRICO COUNTY HAS BEEN NAMED RICHMOND TIMES DISPATCH 2021 TOP WORKPLACES WINNER. I DO NOT CONTRIBUTE THAT TO MYSELF OR MY TEAM. I CONTRIBUTE THAT TO THE EMPLOYEES. THIS IS THE FIRST ENGAGE WANT SURVEY COMPLETED WITHIN HENRICO COUNTY AND RECEIVED THIS AWARD ON ITS FIRST SUBMISSION. THIS DISTINCTION IS DETERMINED BY THOSE WHO KNOW OUR ORGANIZATION THE BEST AS I'VE STATED. OUR EMPLOYEES.

IT STARTS WITH A SURVEY THAT WENT OUT TO ALL GENERAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. ONE OF MANY QUESTIONS ASKED IS WHAT ARE THREE WORDS THAT THEY WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE THE CULTURE OF HENRICO COUNTY? THE MAIN WORD WAS INCLUSIVE.

THEY ALSO USED FORWARD THINKING, CARING, CUSTOMER-ORIENTED, FLEXIBLE, AND INTEGRITY AND THOSE ARE JUST A FEW.

HENRICO COUNTY IS A TOP WORKPLACE BECAUSE OUR EMPLOYEES TOLD US THAT WE DESERVE THIS AWARD.

AMID OUR CURRENT HEALTH CRISIS, CIVIL UNREST AND OTHER ECONOMIC FACTORS, THIS AWARD LETS HENRICO COUNTY LEADERS KNOW WE'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. IT LETS US KNOW WE HAVE A STRONG CONNECTION WITH OUR EMPLOYEES AND A CULTURE OF SUCCESS.

[01:15:03]

THIS SURVEY WAS COMPLETED BEFORE, AND I SAY THAT AGAIN, BEFORE THE RECENT COMPENSATION PLAN WAS REVEALED.

SPEAKING HIGHLY ON WHAT MATTERS THE MOST, AND THAT IS HENRICO'S CULTURE. THE HIGHEST SCORES OF VALUES SEEN FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT BY THIS CONSULTANT.

SO AGAIN, I CONGRATULATE HENRICO COUNTY AS A WHOLE FOR FIRST TIME BEING NOMINATED AND RECEIVING THE RICHMOND TIMES DISPATCH 2021

TOP WORKPLACES WINNER. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: VERY COOL.

[APPLAUSE] MR. MANAGER, THAT WAS QUITE THE

SURPRISE. >> THAT IS A FIRST EVER FOR OUR COUNTY AND A LOT OF CHANGES IN THE RANKS OF THE AGENCY HEADS, BUT WHAT THIS GROUP IS DOING IS ALL ABOUT PUBLIC SERVICE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE VALUES PROPOSITION THAT CAME FORWARD.

SOME OF THE -- WHAT THE CONSULTANT SHARED WAS SOME OF THE SCORES THAT HAVE COME OUT OF THE COUNTY ARE SOME OF THE HIGHEST EVER SEEN BY ANY ORGANIZATION AND I THINK THAT'S DUE TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE ELECTED BODY IN THE EXPECTATIONS YOU PUT FORWARD FOR THE WORKFORCE.

SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO TO CREATE THIS CULTURE.

MY FINAL COMMENT IS THE -- BIWEEKLY UPDATE ON COVID.

AND TO PRESENT THAT INFORMATION TO THE BOARD AND COMMUNITY IS DEPUTY COUNTY MANAGER TONY MCDOWAL.

TO TONY?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I'LL JUMP RIGHT INTO IT. THE FIRST SLIDE HERE SHOWS YOU THE CONTINUED POSITIVE DECREASE OR POSITIVE TREND, A DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF COVID-19 INFECTIONS THAT ARE REPORTED WITHIN HENRICO COUNTY. THIS MIRRORS WHAT WE'RE SEEING AROUND THE REST OF THE COMMONWEALTH AND IN MOST PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES. AND IN FACT, OUR SEVEN-DAY AVERAGE OF PERCENT POSITIVITY IS 5.1% WHICH IS HALF A PERCENT BELOW THE COMMONWEALTH AS A WHOLE AND WE CONTINUE TO BE ONE OF THE TOP HEALTH DISTRICTS FOR THE NUMBER OF TESTS BEING PERFORMED ON A REGULAR BASIS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZATIONS THAT ARE OCCURRING, THE DATA IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW FOR HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS BECAUSE THE DATA IS GETTING LOADED IN LATE.

IN OTHER WORDS WE HAVE BEEN GETTING DATA FROM NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER, JANUARY, GETTING LOADED IN SO I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC DATA FOR HENRICO. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATE AS A WHOLE, THIS IS A CHART THAT SHOWS HOSPITALIZATIONS ON THE DAY THE HOSPITALIZATION OCCURRED AND YOU SEE AGAIN, A STEEP DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZATIONS ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH AS WELL AS A DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF ICU BEDS BEING USED FOR COVID-19 AND VENTILATORS IN USE VERSUS GENERAL HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS. SO WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF DEATHS REPORTED BY THE DATA REPORT, REALLY A VERY STEEP DECLINE THERE ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE CHART SHOWING THAT REALLY SOME FINALLY SOME POSITIVE NEWS IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF DEATHS AFTER A DIFFICULT FEW MONTHS GOING INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WINTER. THIS CHART IS DATA COMPILED FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL. IT RANKS ALL OF THE STATES IN THE COUNTRY ON WHERE THEY ARE ON THE PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION FULLY VACCINATED AS WELL AS WITH AT LEAST ONE DOSE.

YOU SEE THAT VIRGINIA RANKS NUMBER 23 AND OUR AVERAGE OF AT LEAST ONE DOSE IS 25.5%. ALMOST EXACTLY AT THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE CLOSE IN BOTH COLUMNS TO OUR -- TO STATES THAT CAME IN 22 AND 24 AND SO FORTH AND YOU SEE THE DISTRIBUTION OF DIFFERENT STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HERE IN THE COMMONWEALTH IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEN MOST POPULOUS LOCALITIES, EITHER CITIES OR COUNTIES, OF THOSE TEN TOP MOST POPULOUS LOCALITIES, HENRICO COUNTY IS STILL LEADING THE PACK IN TERMS OF THE RATE PER 100,000 OF RESIDENTS WITH AT LEAST ONE DOSE.

THIS ALSO EQUATES TO YOUR PERCENTAGE SO THIS WOULD BE 25%.

CHESTERFIELD WOULD BE 23.5% AND SO FORTH.

WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PHASING IS THAT THE RICHMOND HENRICO HEALTH DISTRICT IS STILL OPERATING IN PHASE 1-B.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT SOME HEALTH DISTRICTS AROUND THE COMMONWEALTH HAVE MOVED INTO OR ARE GETTING READY TO MOVE INTO PHASE 1-C. THAT IS TRUE.

WE ARE NOT IN 1-C YET. WE DON'T HAVE AN EXACT DATE.

BUT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE PROBABLY HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT THAT THERE IS A PUSH FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO BE IN PHASE 2 BY MAY 1. SO PHASE 2 IS WHERE ALL ADULTS

[01:20:04]

ARE ELIGIBLE FOR VACCINATION. THAIF THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BY MAY 1 BUT OBVIOUSLY IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS WE SHOULD ANTICIPATE GOING INTO PHASE 1-C SO WE'LL BE READY FOR PHASE 2 AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY. IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE COMMONWEALTH ABOUT A WEEK AGO ANNOUNCED THAT IT WAS STANDING UP -- A WEEK OR 10 DAYS AGO WHAT THEY'RE CALLING COMMUNITY VACCINATIONS OR CVCS. THESE ARE MASS VACCINATION SITES RUN BY CONTRACTORS WORKING FOR THE STATE SERVING COMMUNITIES WHERE -- THAT HAD THE MOST DIFFICULTY REACHING PEOPLE THAT ARE VULNERABLE. THOSE COMMUNITIES INCLUDE THE SITE LOCATION IN DANVILLE AND PRINCE WILLIAM AND THEY'RE BEING PRIORITIZED FOR RELIABLE DELIVERY OF UP TO 18,000 DOSES AT EACH SITE. IF YOU PRIORITIZE THE DOSES TO THE CDCS THAT'S A QUESTION ABOUT A LARGE STATE LIKE HENRICO.

HENRICO COUNTY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT WE FEEL WE'RE UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO BE A REGIONAL VACCINATION SITE BEYOND JUST RICHMOND HENRICO HEALTH DISTRICT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PROVEN CAPABILITY AND WE HAVE SHOWN THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO PROVIDE AS MANY AS 700 VACCINATIONS PER HOUR.

>> LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. >> YES, SIR.

>> TYRONE NELSON: FIRST OF ALL, OKAY.

SO I FEEL LIKE THIS WHOLE THING IS WEIRD AGAIN.

WHO IS MAKING THE DECISIONS ABOUT WHO MOVES INTO PHASE WHAT, WHEN -- I THOUGHT THE PHASING WAS ACROSS THE BOARD.

>> NO, SIR. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE GOVERNOR HAS GIVEN EACH ONE OF THE HEALTH DISTRICTS TO OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE INTO ITS PHASE AT A CERTAIN POINT.

IN OUR HEALTH DISTRICT, THEY HAVE NOT CHOSEN TO MOVE INTO 1-C

YET. >> TYRONE NELSON: SAY THAT ONE

MORE TIME. >> EACH HEALTH DISTRICT WILL CHOOSE WHEN IT MOVES INTO THE PHASE.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S BASED LARGELY ON HOW MUCH PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE WORKING THROUGH THE PREVIOUS PHASE.

SINCE WE STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO, WITH 1-B, WE'RE NOT READY TO

MOVE INTO 1-C YET. >> TYRONE NELSON: OKAY.

SO WHO IS ADVOCATING? >> THERE IS NO METRIC, MR. NELSON. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> TYRONE NELSON: IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE NOT GETTING THE SHOTS -- I JUST FEEL LIKE WE HAVE BEEN BEGGING FROM THE BEGINNING FOR -- LIKE, WE KEEP SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST MEGASITES IN THE WHOLE TIME I FEEL LIKE WE'VE BEEN BEGGING FOR, PLEASE, GIVE US MORE SHOTS AND WE CAN VACCINATE MORE PEOPLE. NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE AGAIN YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT NOT -- WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE -- SO OTHER SITES HAVE BEEN PRIORITIZED FOR WHATEVER REASONS.

I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO GET INTO WHY THESE SITES -- YOU SAY THEY HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING TO PEOPLE. IS THAT WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY?

>> THOSE SITES WERE CHOSEN BASED ON THE PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION AND NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THOSE AREAS WHO WERE IN HIGH RISK CATEGORIES THAT WERE NOT -- THEY WERE NOT -- THE STATE WAS NOT SEEING THE NUMBER OF TAKEN VACCINATIONS THAT WAS DESIRED. WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS PEOPLE TRAVELING AND WE'RE HEARING ANECDOTAL STORIES.

SO I HAVE TO PREFACE IT WITH THAT.

WE'RE HEARING STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE TRAVELING FROM ALL OVER

THE STATE TO GO TO THE SITES. >> TYRONE NELSON: I KNOW.

I'VE -- I WANT TO BE SENSITIVE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYBODY IN THE MEDIA SO LET ME MAKE SURE I SAY THIS.

NOBODY IN THE MEDIA THINKING I'M PICKING ON PETERSBURG OR PORTSMOUTH OR DANVILLE OR PRINCE WILLIAM.

WHEN ARE WE -- THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH VACCINES TO GO TO THE STATE LEVEL AND THE STATE LEVEL IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH VACCINES TO SPREAD OUT.

SO PRETTY MUCH WE ARE BEING SHORT CHANGED SO THAT THESE VACCINATION CENTERS GET THE SHOTS.

OKAY. IF THAT'S THE RATIONALE.

BUT THAT'S ALSO HURTING THE OTHER COMMUNITIES.

SO IF OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE IN 1-C, SO WE'RE GOING TO STAY IN 1-B FOR HOW LONG? WE'RE GETTING LESS VACCINATIONS -- THAT WILL KEEP US IN 1-B, RIGHT?

>> THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. >> TYRONE NELSON: I'M NOT FUSSING AT YOU. IT'S AGITATING BECAUSE WE -- WE PRODUCE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND THEN WE GOT TO STILL, YOU KNOW,

[01:25:01]

I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I'VE GOT PEOPLE ASKING ME, TWO OR THREE PEOPLE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF MY CHURCH WHO I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND UNTIL YOU JUST SAID THIS, SAID CAN YOU -- I LIVE AROUND THE STREET FROM THE RACEWAY BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO SEND ME TO PETERSBURG TO GET A SHOT. SO THIS WHOLE THING IS JUST KIND OF STRANGE. WHO DO WE NEED TO TALK TO?

WHAT CAN WE DO? >> JUST A COUPLE POINTS, THE LOCALITIES I LISTED, THE DANVILLE AND PETERSBURG, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE NOT SPONSORING THESE.

THESE ARE STATE SELECTED SITES WHERE THEY HAVE CONTRACTORS DOING THE WORK. IN HENRICO YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE DOING IT ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY.

>> TYRONE NELSON: THIS IS NOT VDH.

WELL, THIS IS VDH. >> STATE VDH, YES, SIR.

>> TYRONE NELSON: STATE VDH. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: SO THESE SITES YOU MENTIONED RIGHT HERE, WHO IS FOOTING THE BILL FOR THOSE FOUR? PETERSBURG, DANVILLE, WHO IS

PAYING. >> MR. SCHMITT, I SUSPECT THE

STATE IS PAYING FOR THAT. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: WHO IS FOOTING FOR THE BILL AT 600 EAST (INAUDIBLE) AVENUE?

>> WE ARE DOING THAT. HENRICO COUNTY CITIZENS.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THAT SUMS UP YOUR AGITATION LEVEL FOR ME.

>> MR. NELSON MENTIONED WE HAVE BEEN BEGGING FOR SHOTS, AND I WOULD SIMPLY TELL YOU THAT THE REASON THAT I'M REVIEWING THIS MATERIAL WITH YOU TONIGHT IS BECAUSE I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN A

PUBLIC FORUM AND BEG FOR SHOTS. >> TYRONE NELSON: WELL, TONY, YOU NEED OUR HELP. TELL US WHAT TO DO.

MAKE PHONE CALLS. YOU KNOW, THIS IS ABOUT EQUITY AND IMPARTIALTY. THERE ARE LOW INCOME BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE WHO STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN SHOTS IN THE RICHMOND HENRICO HEALTH DISTRICT. SO THEY ARE NOT JUST IN

PETERSBURG, DANVILLE AND -- >> MR. NELSON?

>> TYRONE NELSON: YOU TELL US WHAT YOU -- WHO WE NEED TO TALK TO. WE CAN'T TAKE LESS.

WE NEED MORE. WE GOT THE CAPACITY.

YOU KNOW? WE MIGHT AS WELL SHUT UP ASAND TO A HOSPITAL OR SOMETHING. WE HAVE THE RACEWAY.

WE ARE RUNNING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THROUGH THERE.

WHY GO BACKWARDS AND NOT FORWARD.

>> YOU BRING UP A POINT ABOUT US HAVING TO BEG, IF YOU WILL.

YOU AND I WENT TO HOW MANY AFTER HOURS CALLS?

YOU KNOW -- >> TYRONE NELSON: THAT'S WHAT

I'M SAYING. >> BREAKFASTS SO --

>> TYRONE NELSON: THIS IS DISHEARTENING.

I WONDER WHETHER OR NOT OUR STATE DELEGATION KNOWS, YOU KNOW, OUR GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEMBERS WHO REPRESENT THIS AREA KNOW WE ARE RECEIVING LESS VACCINATIONS THAN OTHER SPOTS

ACROSS THE STATE. >> SO LET ME AND THE STAFF WORK ON A CALL THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. I'D EXPECT (INAUDIBLE) AND

OTHERS ON THE CALL. >> I'D ADD THAT FROM A SERVICE TO THE RESIDENT PERSPECTIVE, THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE SET UP IS THERE. LIKE, TO RE-CREATE A WHEEL THAT IS READY TO SPIN. LIKE IT'S SPINNING.

SO TO MR. NELSON'S POINT, SEND THEM THERE.

THEY'RE -- IT'S READY. IT'S -- AND AGAIN, QUITE SIMPLY, WE'RE PAYING FOR IT. SO LIKE, IF THE STATE WANTS TO MAKE A QUICK IMPACT FOR COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA RESIDENTS AND I HOPE THEY'RE HEARING THIS, USE THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ALREADY EXISTS.

YOU CAN SET UP OTHER ONES IN OTHER AREAS.

THAT'S GREAT. YOU HAVE ONE READY TO SPIN.

YOU WANT TO SERVE THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.

SPIN IT.. >> SPIN THE LARGEST ONE.

>> TYRONE NELSON: I'M NOT SAYING DON'T SERVE THE AREAS.

NO ONE IS DRIVING FROM DANVILLE TO PRINCE WILLIAM OR PORTSMOUTH -- THEY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE TO PETERSBURG EITHER.

GIVE HE SHOTS THERE BUT DON'T MINIMIZE WHAT WE'RE DOING, YOU KNOW, YEAH. YEAH.

THIS IS DISHEARTENING. THAT'S ALL.

THIS IS -- I DIDN'T EXPECT TO HEAR THIS TONIGHT.

WE NEED TO DO BETTER SO WHOEVER WE NEED TO DO.

DR. DANNY AVULA. THAT'S OUR GUY.

LET'S TALK TO HIM. HE IS TEAM HENRICO.

LET'S TALK -- >> THOMAS BRANIN: MR. MCDOWEL, AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE THUNDER FROM NECK THE NEXT SLIDE, BUT AT THE RACETRACK TWO SATURDAYS AGO, HOW MANY SHOTS IN

ARMS DID WE TO? >> I DON'T RECALL THE EXACT DAY.

TWO WEEKS AGO ON THE BIGGEST DAY WE DID 7,010.

>> THOMAS BRANIN: 7,010 IN ONE DAY.

[01:30:02]

>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THOMAS BRANIN: 125 OVER THREE DAYS AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO THIS HUGE NUMBER OF 18,000 --

>> 3,000 PER DAY PER SIX DAYS A WEEK.

>> THEIR IDEA IS TO DO 18,000 IN A WEEK.

>> DO IT. JUST KEEP GIVING US OUR SHOTS PLUS MORE. DON'T TAKE FROM US.

LET US KEEP DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE -- THAT'S MY POINT.

>> THOMAS BRANIN: MY POINT IS THIS, MR. NELSON.

MR. SCHMITT SAID IT. MR. MCDOWELL IS TAPPING AROUND IT. WE HAVE SHOWN WE CAN DO IT.

WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DO IT. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR STATE FUNDS TO DO IT. GIVE US THE SHOTS.

PERIOD. I DON'T -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE THE STATE GETS CONFUSED WITH THAT.

>> THANK YOU, MR. BRANIN. AS FAR AS WHAT'S HAPPENING FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK, WITH THE DOSES THAT WE HAVE ON HAND THIS WEEK, 4600 SHOTS TOMORROW. THIS WILL BE AN ALL-DAY EVENT.

SECOND SHOTS IN THE AFTERNOON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

SATURDAY WILL BE AN ALL-DAY LONG EVENT WITH 300 SHOTS.

A NICE CAPTION THERE -- 3300 SHOTS.

A NICE CAPTION OF THE HENRICO FLAG WE'RE PROUDLY DISPLAYING AT

THE SITE. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE? THAT'S 4600 TOMORROW.

2,000, 2,000. SO DO SOME QUICK MATH THERE.

THAT'S 66, 86. 12,000.

>> TYRONE NELSON: WHAT IS THIRD SHOTS?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? >> THAT'S A TYPO.

I APPALL YAZ. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: IT'S FOR THOSE OVERACHIEVEERS. OVERACHIEVING CROWD.

THEY'RE COMING BACK FOR MORE. (LAUGHTER) SO MR. MCDOWELL, IN FOUR DAYS IF I DID THE MATH RIGHT, THAT'S 12,000 SHOTS. SO ABOUT 8,000 PEOPLE WILL GET FIRST SHOTS AND 4,000 SECOND SHOTS.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THAT FACILITY AND OUR TEAM ON OUR DIME HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO 28,000 SHOTS.

>> THEY'LL BARELY BREAK A SWEAT DOING WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

OKAY. INCREDIBLE.

THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS THIS EVENING.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU. ANY COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES?

[6. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ COMMENTS ]

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A COMMENT.

I'D LIKE TO MARK THE PASSING OF A NOTABLE HENRICOAN.

JANE HARDEN BRIN OF HENRICO PASSED AWAY ON MARCH 21, 2021.

SHE IS SURVIVED BY HER HUSBAND OF 53 YEARS, CARL BRIN, AND A DAUGHTER, GRANDSONS, COUSINS AND MANY FAMILY MEMBERS.

SHE WAS BORN IN FLORENCE, SOUTH CAROLINA, AND SHE ATTENDED MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY WHERE SHE RECEIVED A BACHELOR IN MATHEMATICS AND MET CARL, HER FUTURE HUSBAND.

THEY RELOCATED TO BLACKSBURG AND EVENTUALLY MOVED TO HENRICO IN 1982. SHE WAS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF RIVER ROAD UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AND SHE AND HER HUSBAND CARL WERE TWO OF A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WORKED VERY HARD TO ESTABLISH THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S HOMELESS SHELTER IN HENRICO. SO I'D LIKE TO NOTE HER PASSING.

THANK YOU. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

MR. BRANIN? >> THOMAS BRANIN: I'VE GOT A QUICK ONE. I'D LIKE TO THANK MR. HACKMAN AND THE THREE CHOPT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

I GOT AN INVITATION WHICH ALL OF THIS BOARD HAS BEEN JUST WAITING, WAITING TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY.

I GOT AN INVITATION TO COME AND SPEAK WITH THIS CHURCH GROUP AND I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WOULD BE DISTANCED AND IT WAS GOING TO BE OUTSIDE. I THOUGHT WHAT A GREAT IDEA.

ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL WE ALL PULLED UP.

THERE WAS OVER 25 PEOPLE THERE. AND WE PULLED UP AND I THINK WHEN I GOT THERE AT 8:30 IN THE MORNING, IT WAS 35, 36 DEGREES.

AND GOODNESS GRACIOUS, THIS GROUP STOOD OUTSIDE AND OPENED WITH A PRAYER AND WE TALKED ABOUT HENRICO BUDGET AND SO TO

[01:35:07]

THE THREE CHOPT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY AND GETTING BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS DESPITE THE WEATHER. SO NEAT, NEAT MORNING.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM OUR COLLEAGUES?

>> TYRONE NELSON: I HAVE ONE. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE PASSING OF A HIGH SCHOOL NURSE AT HIGHLAND SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL. MS. DIMPLE BASSET.

I WANT TO GO ON THE RECORD THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE HER LIFE AND LOVE FOR THE HIGHLAND SPRINGS COMMUNITY.

SHE WORKED AT THE SCHOOL FOR OVER A DECADE, HAD SURGERY A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND ENDED UP HAVING SUDDEN HEART ATTACK LAST WEEK. IT WAS -- DEFINITELY IMPACTED THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY AND THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL.

SO I WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT IT ON RECORD THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE HER WORK AND HER SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY AND HOPING FOR THE BEST FOR HER FAMILY.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.

SEEING NONE, DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS ANY NEWS MEDIA IN THE ROOM

[7. RECOGNITION OF NEWS MEDIA ]

BUT IF THERE ARE ANY TUNED IN VIA WEBEX, WE APPRECIATE THE COVERAGE AND THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN.

MR. MANAGER? >> MR. CHAIRMAN, WE MOVE INTO

[8. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS ]

PUBLIC HEARINGS. WE HAVE TWO ITEMS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. THE FIRST IS 88-21 WHICH IS A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED $17

[8a. 88-21 Resolution - Authorizing the Issuance of Not to Exceed $17,000,000 Principal Amount of County Projects VRA Special Fund Revenue Bonds, Series 2021 of the County of Henrico, Virginia, to Be Sold to the Virginia Resources Authority. ]

MILLION OF VRA SPECIAL FUND REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2021 TO THE VIRGINIA OR TO BE SOLD BY -- TO THE VIRGINIA RESOURCES AUTHORITY. MS. COATS?

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: I'M SORRY. PRIOR TO -- BEFORE YOU START, I WANT TO MAKE SURE FOLKS TUNED IN, THIS IS OUR PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF TONIGHT'S MEETING. AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO PARTICIPATE AND WATCH ONLINE, A QUICK REMINDER, GO TO HENRICO.US/SUPERVISORS. CLICK ON GUIDANCE AND WEBEX EVENT AND THE MODERATOR WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S YOUR TIME TO SPEAK. GO AHEAD.

>> NO PROBLEM. I'LL TAKE JUST A SECOND TO EXPLAIN THIS SINCE THIS IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL AND DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL BOND RESOLUTION THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN.

IN 2016 WE TOOK OUT A LOAN WITH A BANK FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO SYSTEM ABOUT $34 MILLION TO PAY FOR A PORTION OF THAT PROJECT. AS I HAVE LOOKED AT THAT RECENTLY, THE TERMS OF OUR EXISTING DEAL IS NOT ALL THAT FAVORABLE IN TERMS OF THE RATE AND THE LOGISTICS RELATED TO HOW WE DRAW DOWN THE FUNDS. SO THE WAY THAT WE CAME UP WITH -- TO GET OUT OF THE UNFAVORABLE TERMS BUT ALSO TO SAVE A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IS TO PARTICIPATE IN A POOLED BOND SALE THROUGH THE VIRGINIA RESOURCES AUTHORITY. IT'S A STATE AGENCY THAT ALLOWS LOTS OF LOCALITIES TO COME TOGETHER AND GET BONDS TOGETHER COLLECTIVELY TO SHARE THE COST OF ISSUANCE.

IN THIS INSTANCE I THINK THERE IS EIGHT OR NINE LOCALITIES IN THE POOL WITH US MEANING THE LEGAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEBT GETS SPLIT NINE WAYS WHICH ALWAYS WORKS OUT IN OUR FAVOR.

WHAT WE HAVE SEEN THAT THE RATE WE'RE ANTICIPATING IS .58 PER CENT AND WHAT THAT EQUATES TO ON AN ANNUAL BASIS IS A SAVINGS OF ABOUT $600,000. NEXT YEAR.

$2.5 MILLION OVER THE NEXT YEAR. THIS WILL ALLOW STAFF TO PARTICIPATE IN THE POOLED SALE UP TO $17 MILLION.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: WOW. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: YEAH.

BEFORE -- IT'S A PUBLIC COMMENT. ANY COMMENTS ON BEHALF OF MY

COLLEAGUES? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: SO IS THE $17 MILLION IS HENRICO'S PART OF IT.

>> THAT'S JUST THE BALANCE WE HAVE NOT DRAWN DOWN OF OUR OWN LOAN TO PAY FOR OUR PORTION OF THAT PROJECT.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: THANK YOU. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: I READ THE LATER HERE AND JUST BY BEING SMART, AGAIN, YOU ASKED THE PERFECT QUESTION EARLIER. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENS. $2.5 MILLION TO GET SMART ON HOW WE RESTRUCTURE FINANCING. THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENS.

SO ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE IN THE ROOM THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO OR AGAINST THIS ITEM?

MS. DAVIS, ANYONE ON WEBEX? >> THERE IS NO ONE ON WEBEX.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: MOVE THE RESOLUTION.

>> SECOND. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THOSE IN

[01:40:02]

FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED?

MOTION CARRIES. >> MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, ERIC WILL COVER 89-21 WHICH IS A RESOLUTION

[8b. 89-21 Resolution - Authorizing County Manager to Submit Fifth Amended Henrico County FY 2019-20 Annual Consolidated Action Plan and to Execute Contracts for CDBG and ESG Activities. ]

AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY MANAGER TO SUBMIT THE FIFTH AMENDED HENRICO COUNTY FY2019-20 CONSOLIDATIONS ACTION PLAN AND EXECUTE CONTRACTS FOR CDBG AND ESG ACTIVITIES.

>> THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. MR. CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, TONIGHT I'LL SHARE THE RECOMMENDED FIFTH AMENDMENT TO OUR ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 19-20.

THIS AMENDMENT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO HUD TO ACCESS ADDITIONAL CDBG AND ESG FUNDING AUTHORIZED UNDER THE CARES ACT.

WE'LL EXECUTE AGREEMENTS TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECTS OR PROGRAMS FUNDED. THIS FUNDING COMES FROM ROUND TWO AND THREE OF THE CARES ACT AWARD THAT WAS HELD FOR FUTURE ALLOCATION AS YOU'LL NOTE FROM A PRIOR BOARD MEETING.

APPLI APPLICATIONS WERE MADE TO APPLY BY NANDING AND RECEIVED BY FEBRUARY 16 THIS YEAR.

THERE ARE FIVE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR FUNDING TONIGHT. THE FIRST PROGRAM IS A PRO PROGRAM -- I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON THERE.

THE FIRST PROGRAM IS OAR OF RICHMOND.

IT WAS PREVIOUSLY FUNDED WITH CARES ACT FUNDS.

THIS FUNDING WOULD EXTEND THE DURATION OF THE PROGRAM AND SERVE ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUALS. WE RECOMMEND ■THEYBEUNDED FOR $40,000. THE NEXT WILL PROVIDE UP TO FOUR EMPLOYMENT NAVIGATORS TO HELP PEOPLE IN HENRICO GET WHACKEDED CAN EMPLOYMENT AND THEY'RE ANTICIPATING SERVING 1200 INDIVIDUALS WITH THE PROGRAM. WE'RE RECOMMENDING FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $340,000. THE NEXT PROGRAM WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS THE CENTRAL VIRGINIA LEGAL AID SOCIETY IN THE AMOUNT OF $64,000. THEY WILL PROVIDE LEGAL AS ASSISTANCE TO PEOPLE RELATED TO TENANT/LAND LORD ISSUES, UNEMPLOYMENT AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND OTHER RELATED ISSUES IN THE COUNTY. THEY PLAN TO SERVE 1500 PEOPLE.

LAST AS IT RELATES TO THE ROUND THREE CDBG FUNDING, WE'RE RECOMMENDING FUNDING AT THE WITH MODRICATIONS THEY'D NEED TO MAKE TO HELP KEEP THE FAMILIES THEY SERVE ON A DAILY BASIS SERVE. THEY NORMALLY SERVE 100 SENIORS A DAY. A LITTLE LESS NOW THAT COVID HIT. THAT'S THE AVERAGE POPULATION THAT THEY'RE SERVING. THE FIFTH -- WELL, BEFORE I MOVE ON, WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING THAT WE HOLD $275,098 FOR FUTURE ALLOCATION. THAT WILL COME BACK WHEN WE HAVE USES FOR THAT FUNDING. THE FIFTH PROGRAM IS A PROGRAM THAT YOU ALL AWARDED FUNDS TO PREVIOUSLY.

THEY'RE LOOKING TO EXPAND AND TOOLOGIST RENOVATE -- ALSO RENOVATE THEIR CURRENT SPACE. YOU FUNDED THEM FOR $100,000.

WE'RE RECOMMENDING THEY BE FUNDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL $100,000 TO FILL A GAP RELATED TO INCREASED COST FOR THAT RENOVATION. THIS SLIDE, I WON'T READ EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE HERE. WE WANTED YOU ALL TO GET A SENSE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN POPULS THAT HAVE BEEN SERVED OR WILL BE SERVED WITH THE CARES ACT FUNDING SHOULD YOU APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS TONIGHT. YOU SEE THE TOP LINE ITEM THERE.

WE'RE SERVING HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, HOMELESS FAMILIES WITH KIDS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, FOOD ASSISTANCE, REPRESENTERS FACING -- RENTERS FACING EVICTION OR POSSIBLE EVICTION IF THEY CAN'T PAY RENT, COVID VACCINE AND OUTREACH FOR THOSE THAT TEST POSITIVE, EMPLOYMENT AND THE HUMAN KIND PROGRAM AND CENTRAL VIRGINIA LEGAL AID SOCIETY AND OTHER PROGRAMS IN DESPERATE NEED DURING THE PANDEMIC.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS WE ACHIEVED WITH SOME OF THE FUNDING. SOME OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS DATA AN IS LITTLE BEHIND BECAUSE OF BILLING.

WE DON'T CONSIDER IT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT UNTIL WE HAVE BEEN BILLED FOR THE PARTICULAR ACTIVITY.

473 PEOPLE WERE SERVED THROUGH FOOD ASSISTANCE AND OVER 2400 PEOPLE SERVED WITH OUR HOMELESS SERVICES OR SHELTER PROGRAMS. WITH THAT, I CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: SO THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CURRENT BUDGET?

. >> THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO -- THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO OUR HENRICO COUNTY ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR 19-20. THE REASON THAT IT'S CONNECTED TO 19-20, HUD REQUIRES YOU LEAVE THE FUNDS IN THE FISCAL YEAR IN WHICH THE CARES ACT FUNDING WAS AWARDED AND THAT WAS 19-20.

[01:45:04]

WE BROUGHT THAT TO YOU MAY 12 LAST YEAR.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: OKAY. THANK YOU.

YOU MEAN 2019-20. FISCAL YEAR.

YOU SAID -- I KNOW. >> FISCAL YEAR 19-20.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: PEOPLE MAY HEAR 1920 -- IT'S 2019-2020.

THAT'S ALL. THAT'S ALL.

JUST TO CLARIFY THAT. THANK YOU.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: 101-YEAR-OLD ROLLBACK.

ANY QUESTIONS? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE IN THE ROOM THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?

ANYBODY ON WEBEX? >> THERE IS NO ONE ON WEBEX.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MA'AM.

>> PATRICIA O'BANNON: MOVE THE RESOLUTION.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: MOTION BY MS. O'BANNON AND SECOND BY MR. THORNTON. MOTION CARRIES.

MR. MANAGER? >> NEXT IS PUBLIC COMMENTS.

I HAVE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

[9. PUBLIC COMMENTS ]

ONE IN PERSON AND ONE ON WEBEX. THE INDIVIDUAL THAT'S HERE IS MICHELLE. IF YOU'D GO TO THE PODIUM IN THE BACK AND ADDRESS THE BOARD FROM THAT LOCATION.

WE HAVE ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL ON WEBEX.

JUST AS A REMINDER TO BOTH SPEAKERS, YOU MAY ADDRESS THE BOARD ON ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA AND THE BOARD DOES ASK THAT YOU KEEP YOUR COMMENTS LIMITED TO A FIVE-MINUTE TIME PERIOD. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO,

MICHELLE? >> HI.

ONE SECOND. LET ME MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR PAPERS. CAN YOU HEAR ME? GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS MICHELLE AND I'M HERE TO DISCUSS ANIMAL BITE PROTOCOL IN HENRICO COUNTY.

FIRST OF ALL, HOW MANY OF YOU OWN OR HAVE EVER OWNED A PET? HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN BITTEN BY YOUR PET? OKAY. IT HAPPENS.

SO LET'S FOLLOW THE FLOW CHART IN FRONT OF YOU FOR HOW YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY VETERINARIAN WOULD RESPOND TO A BITE FROM YOUR OWN PET. SO STEP ONE, A PERSON EXPOSED TO AN OWNED DOG, CAT OR FERRET. THE LOCATION IS KNOWN.

THE ANIMAL IS NOT SHOWING SIGNS OF RABIES.

NOW I MOVE ON TO THE TEN-DAY QUARANTINE WHICH WE'RE ALL A BIT TOO FAMILIAR WITH. DURING THIS TIME IF YOUR PET DIES FOR ANY REASON, WE SEE THE VETERINARIAN IS INSTRUCED TO EUTHANIZE THE ANIMAL AND TEST FOR BABIES.

IN JANUARY, MY CAT LEO DIED WHILE SEIZING FROM A HYPERGLYCEMIC EPISODE. IT WAS DURING THE BIG SNOWSTORM AND I GOT IN THE CAR SO FAST I FORGOT MY SHOES.

I TRIED TO GET THE HAIR OUT OF MY -- HIS MOUTH AND HE BIT ME WHICH PUT IN PLACE THE ANIMAL BITE FLOW CHART IN FRONT OF YOU.

AS WE SAT IN THE EMERGENCY VET OFFICE WITH AN UNFAMILIAR FACE, WE BEGAN DISCUSSING HIS REMAINS AND AT THIS TIME I WANTED TO BRING HIM HOME SO HE COULD BE BURIED WITH MY OTHER CHILDHOOD PETS. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT THE VET EXPLAINED THAT I COULD TAKE HIM HOME BUT I'D HAVE TO COME HOME IN A FEW DAYS BECAUSE OF THE BITE, HE'D HAVE TO BE DECAPITATED AND A POST-MORTEM HEAD SUBMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE DONE. HE WAS AN INDOOR CAT WITH REGULAR VACCINATIONS FOR RABIES AND NEVER WENT OUTSIDE.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DATA IN FRONT OF YOU ON PAGE 2, CATS AND DOGS ARE THE HIGHEST TESTED ANIMALS FOR RABIES.

CATS HAVE A 3% POSITIVITY RATE AND DOGS HAVE LESS THAN 1%.

WE HAVE NO DATA ON IF THESE CATS WOVEN THAT 3% WERE OWNED AND REGULARLY VACCINATED OR STRAY CATS.

MY PROPOSITION IS SIMPLE. IF YOUR OWN DOMESTICATED PET DIES AFTER A BITE OR DURING THE TEN-DAY CONFINEMENT UNRELATED TO RABIES, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION OF RABIES VACCINE ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR STATE TESTING.

IN 2016, 1,268 PEOPLE HAD TO HAVE THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH THE VET THAT THEIR BELOVED PET WOULD HAVE TO BE DECAPITATED AND SENT TO A STATE LAB. IT'S EXTREMELY TRAUMATIC AND I WANT IT TO CHANGE. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND HOPE

YOU CONSIDER THIS AMENDMENT. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MICHELLE. APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME

TO BE HERE TODAY. >> NEXT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I BELIEVE WE HAVE JOHN OWENS. MR. OWENS?

>> MR. OWENS, YOU CAN SPEAK. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

[01:50:02]

>> THERE WE GO. >> ALL RIGHT.

HI. MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, COUNTY MANAGER, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT. I WANT TO MAKE A PROPOSAL FOR A HORSE PEN BRANCH PARK HERE IN THE COUNTY.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. STORM WATER ISSUES HANGING OVER OUR COMMUNITY. I GUESS I SAW RECENTLY IN THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS SOME PROJECTS TO TRY TO ADDRESS STORM WATER ISSUES IN THE COUNTY. THERE WAS SOME FUNDING BUT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS WHERE MANY OF MY (INAUDIBLE) LIVE NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF HORSEPEN AND BROAD AND WEST WOOD TERRACE IN THE BROOKLAND DISTRICT.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MAP, THIS IS THE HENRICO COUNTY FLOOD ZONE MAP, WE'RE DEAD IN THE FLOOD ZONE BECAUSE THERE IS A BIG DRAINAGE DITCH WHICH IS ACTUALLY HORSEPEN BRANCH CONCRETED IN AND TRAVELS BEHIND THE HOUSE AND CONCRETE DITCH.

THERE IS A LOT OF STORM WATER DIRECTED THIS WAY.

THE SHOPPING CENTER BUILT ON TOP OF THE HORSEPEN BRANCH.

BUT, YOU KNOW, ALSO JUST BUILDING IN THE AREA SUCH AS FROM ST. RICKS HOSPITAL AND THE PARKING LOTS AND SUCH, THAT TRAVELS DOWN THROUGH OUR AREA, I BELIEVE.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO I'D BE CURIOUS -- THE DITCH CARRIES A LOT OF WATER DURING THE STORMS. THERE IS HOUSES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DITCH ON BOTH MILLHISER AND MORNINGSIDE. I LIVED HERE AND MY PARENTS LIVED IN THEIR HOME 50 YEARS. FLOOD INSURANCE IS OUT OF REACH FOR MOST IF NOT ALL THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE IT'S THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR BECAUSE THE AREA IS FOUND TO BE, YOU KNOW, A FLOOD POINT. ALONG THIS CONCRETE DITCH, THE MAIN FLOODING PROBLEM IS THIS ONE BLOCK.

JUST THE SIDES OF THE STREET ABUTTING THE DITCH, THE OTHER SIDES OF MILLHISER AND MORNING SIDE HAVE AN ADVANTAGE AND NEVER HAD STANDING WATER IN THEIR YARDS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO I PROPOSED THAT HENRICO COUNTY SEEK TO PURCHASE ALL THE HOUSES ON THE 6300 BLOCK OF MILLHISER AVENUE AND MORNINGSIDE DRIVE ABUTTING THE DITCH FOR A FAIR MARKET VALUE DETERMINED BY TWO REAL ESTATE APPRAISALS.

THE HOUSES IN THE AREA ARE USUALLY BETWEEN $200,000 AND $300,000 AND THERE IS ABOUT 14 HOUSES ON THE TWO STREETS.

ON THE SIDE ABUTTING THE DITCH. GIVE THE RESIDENTS A YEAR TO RELOCATE AND DEMOLISH ALL THE HOUSES ABUTTING THE DITCH.

THEN HENRICO COUNTY CAN CREATE HORSEPEN BRANCH PARK FROM THE PROPERTIES RECLAIMED. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, KIDS PLAY IN THE STREET WITH THEIR BASKETBALL HOOPS. SO ONE SUGGESTION IS TO BUILD TWO PAVED BASKETBALL COURTS WITH ATTRACTIVE FENCING TO GET THEM OUT OF THE STREET. MY HOUSE, I FREQUENTLY SEE PEOPLE WALKING THEIR DOGS THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ANOTHER CONCEPT IS TO BUILD A FENCED DOG ROOM WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR RESIDENTS TO ENJOY THEIR POOCHES. ONE IN (INAUDIBLE) IS QUITE NICE AND MAYBE A SMALL AMOUNT OF PARKING AND TWO HANDICAPPED SPACES AND MAYBE TEN TOTAL SPACES.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO THIS IS THE MODEL.

HAVE PARKING NEAR THE SHOPPING CENTER.

TEAR DOWN THE HOUSES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DITCH AND BUILD A DOG RUN ON MILLHISER AND TWO BASKETBALL COURTS ON MORNINGSIDE. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT PARK. I'D MISS LIVING HERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, IT'S A FLOOD ZONE.

I GUESS WHEN IT WAS BUILT HERE, YOU KNOW, 60 YEARS AGO OR WHENEVER IT WAS BUILT, IF PEOPLE WOULD REALIZE THAT AND THEN IF, YOU KNOW, CONDITIONS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE DRAINAGE FROM ST.

MARY'S AND OTHER PLACES AND THE CHARACTER OF THE CREEK BEHIND THE HOUSE. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU AND I KNOW YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE FUNDING AT THE MOMENT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT THERE IS STIMULUS MONEY AND ALWAYS PROBABLY FEMA MONEY FOR FLOOD MITIGATION AND THINGS.

SO JUST BE SOMETHING FOR YOU TO CONSIDER FOR THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. >> DANIEL SCHMITT: THANK YOU, MR. OWENS. I APPRECIATE YOU SENDING THE INFORMATION AND WE'LL GET A COPY OF THAT.

AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, WE HAVE DONE SOME FLOOD PLAN STUDIES IN THAT AREA SPECIFICALLY. HORSEPEN BRANCH IN ADDITION TO THREE OR FOUR OTHER ONES. APPRECIATE YOU SENDING THE

[01:55:01]

INFORMATION AND WE'LL TAKE A PEEK.

THANK YOU, SIR. >> ANYONE ELSE ON WEBEX?

>> NO, SIR. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TONIGHT.

>> DANIEL SCHMITT: MR. MANAGER, WE'LL HEAD INTO THE GENERAL

[10. GENERAL AGENDA ]

AGENDA. I BELIEVE FIRST ONE UP IS 90-21.

>> YES, SIR. I'LL ASK MR. TOKARS TO SPEAK TO

SO INDIVIDUALS ATTENDING THE RACES INCLUDING THE SPRAINING RACE APRIL 17 AND 18 WILL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE WITH SPORTS BETTING VIA MOBILE DEVICES AT THE RACE TRACK. THIS BOARD PAPER IS TO -- IS PROPOSED TO ALLOW COOPERATIVE MARKETING BASICALLY ADVERTISEMENT OF THE PLATFORM ONLY AT THE RACE TRACK.

NO WHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTY. >> FRANK THORNTON: SO PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND THIS WHO ARE LISTENING, THIS IS REALLY HAVING TO DO WITH THE NUMBER OF RACES BASICALLY THAT TAKES PLACE AT THE RACE TRACK, I BELIEVE, AND HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, I THINK THERE ARE ONLY USUALLY TWO PER YEAR.

SO I'M THINKING THEN SO THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND -- THIS IS -- THIS IS A BRAND NEW TOOL, BRAND NEW TOY.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD THIS AND THIS IS NOT OPENING IT UP TO EVERYONE ALSO. THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE

TO KNOW. >> YES, SIR.
