MR. MANAGER, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS THIS EVENING?

[4. Manager’s Comments]

FIRST ONE, I'D LIKE TO ASK OFFICER MARZULLO TO COME FORWARD, ADAM MARZULLO, IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD.

ADAM. SO AND I KNOW WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF FOLKS FROM THE POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE AND POLICE OFFICERS, POLICE CHIEF, IF YOU ALL WOULD COME FORWARD AND AND ADAM'S FAMILY TOO YOUR WIFE AND YOUR DAUGHTER JUST.

SHE'S FIVE, RIGHT? ADAM.

FIVE. ADAM STANDING IN FRONT OF MY FRIEND.

HAVE YOUR WIFE STAND BESIDE YOU. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, EVERY NOW AND AGAIN WE RECOGNIZE SERVICE FOR WHAT IT IS. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE RECOGNITION FOR OFFICER ADAM MARZULLO, WHO WAS RECENTLY RECOGNIZED AS THE PAL OFFICER OF THE YEAR AND THE NATIONAL POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE OFFICER OF THE YEAR, THE HENRICO PAL OFFICER OF THE YEAR AND THE NATIONAL POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE OFFICER OF THE YEAR.

THAT IS NO SMALL FEAT.

OFFICER MARZULLO BEGAN HIS LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREER WITH HENRICO COUNTY AFTER GRADUATING FROM INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA WITH A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN CRIMINOLOGY IN 2014.

HE IS A GRADUATE OF THE 60TH BASIC POLICE ACADEMY.

HE SERVED IN PATROL OPERATIONS AS A FIELD TRAINING OFFICER, GENERAL INSTRUCTOR, FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR, AND CURRENTLY AS PRCHAL OFFICER WITHIN THE COMMUNITY POLICING UNIT.

SINCE GOING TO THE SCHOOL SERVICE UNIT IN 2022, OFFICER MARZULLO HAS FOCUSED ON YOUTH MENTORSHIP AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH OUR POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE.

HE CREATED THE HENRICO PAL FISHING PROGRAM, AN INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN YOUTH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE OUTDOORS WHILE CONTINUING TO MENTOR STUDENTS THROUGH THE YOUTH LEADERSHIP COUNCIL AND LOCAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS.

[00:05:06]

KNOWN FOR HIS LEADERSHIP, INTEGRITY AND COMMITMENT TO YOUTH ENGAGEMENT, OFFICER MARZULLO CONTINUES TO MAKE A LASTING IMPACT THROUGHOUT THE HENRICO COMMUNITY.

HE BELIEVES THAT BUILDING TRUST AND RAPPORT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY IS ESSENTIAL, AND HE ACTIVELY SEEKS TO CREATE INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE EVERY INDIVIDUAL FEELS VALUED AND SUPPORTED. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT GIVES ME GREAT HAPPINESS THIS THIS EVENING TO RECOGNIZE OFFICER MARZULLO AND SIR TO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO FOR OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY AND THE RESIDENTS OF OUR COUNTY.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE OFFICER MARZULLO? NOW, ADAM, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET AWAY WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. I APPRECIATE THE HONOR, AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S BEEN A THE MOST KIND OF MOST IMPACTFUL TIME AS A POLICE OFFICER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH OUR KIDS. AND IT'S NOT JUST THE KIDS, IT'S THE COMMUNITY AS WELL THROUGH PARENTS AND ALL THE COMMUNITY INITIATIVES.

AND IT'S JUST BEEN A GREAT TIME. SO I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. KENNY RAGLAND ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS.

KENNY. THANK YOU, MR. COUNTY MANAGER.

OUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

GOOD EVENING. ON BEHALF OF THE HENRICO POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE, ITS BOARD, ITS OFFICERS AND STAFF MEMBERS.

I'D LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR RECOGNIZING OFFICER ADAM MARZULLO.

THIS IS NO SMALL FEAT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE THOUSANDS OF OFFICERS ENGAGING YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA.

ADAM, OUR VERY OWN HENRICO COUNTY POLICE OFFICER, WAS SELECTED AS THE OFFICER OF THE YEAR.

ADAM, HE. I TELL HIM THIS ALL THE TIME, BUT IT'S TRUE.

HE EPITOMIZES THE VERY ESSENCE OF WHAT PRCHAL IS ALL ABOUT.

OFFICERS AND HUMANIZING THEMSELVES.

SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR RECOGNIZING HIM, AND HE'S A REFLECTION OF WHAT HENRICO COUNTY IS ALL ABOUT. AND THAT'S HIGH QUALITY SERVICE.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SO, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, WE ALSO, AS A MATTER OF COURSE, RECOGNIZE OUR HERITAGE OR COMPONENTS OF OUR HERITAGE IN OUR COUNTY.

AND I'M GOING TO ASK MR. DANIEL STAUFFENBERG TO COME FORWARD.

SO MAY IS RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY AS JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH IN OUR COUNTY JOINS COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN CELEBRATING THIS IMPORTANT OBSERVANCE.

THIS MONTH PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE THE MANY CONTRIBUTIONS THAT JEWISH AMERICANS HAVE MADE TO OUR NATION AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH CULTURE, EDUCATION, BUSINESS, PUBLIC SERVICE, AND COUNTLESS OTHER AREAS OF CIVIC LIFE HERE IN OUR COUNTY. WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE JEWISH RESIDENTS, LEADERS, ORGANIZATIONS AND FAMILIES WHO HELP STRENGTHEN AND ENRICH OUR COMMUNITY EACH DAY.

THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS CONTINUE TO HELP MAKE HENRICO A WELCOMING AND VIBRANT PLACE FOR ALL. AT THIS TIME, DANIEL, I'D LIKE.

DANIEL STAUFFENBERG IS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FEDERATION OF RICHMOND. DANIEL, I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME WORDS TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, DANIEL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE SO MANY GREAT FACES.

I'M HONORED TO FOLLOW OUR FRIENDS AT THE HENRICO POLICE, WHICH WE'VE HAD A WONDERFUL AND LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH.

NOT SURPRISED THAT THEY'RE DOING FANTASTIC WORK THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

AND YOU STOLE SOME OF MY REMARKS, SO I'LL DO MY BEST HERE.

SHALOM AND GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND MY FELLOW RESIDENTS.

AS WAS SAID, MY NAME IS DANIEL STAUFFENBERG.

I'M THE CEO OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FEDERATION OF RICHMOND, AND I'M REALLY HONORED TO REPRESENT THE JEWISH COMMUNITY HERE TONIGHT, NOT JUST AS THE CEO, BUT AS A PROUD RESIDENT OF HENRICO COUNTY.

AS YOU MENTIONED, MAY IS RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY AS JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, A TIME TO HONOR THE RICH HISTORY, CULTURE, AND ENDURING CONTRIBUTIONS OF JEWISH

[00:10:05]

THESE CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE STRENGTHENED THE FABRIC OF OUR DEMOCRACY HERE IN HENRICO COUNTY. WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE A REALLY VIBRANT JEWISH COMMUNITY THAT CONTRIBUTES IN COUNTLESS WAYS EVERY DAY THROUGH CIVIC LEADERSHIP, PHILANTHROPY, EDUCATION AND SERVICE TO THOSE IN NEED.

THESE EFFORTS REFLECT A CORE JEWISH VALUE TIKKUN OLAM THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR AND IMPROVE THE WORLD. HOW MANY OF US HAVE LEARNED TO SWIM AT THE WEINSTEIN JCC? GRABBED, HOPEFULLY A DELICIOUS BRISKET OR KNISH FROM THE RICHMOND JEWISH FOOD FESTIVAL, BEEN SERVICED BY ONE OF OUR AMAZING COUNSELORS OR OR PROVIDERS AT JFS RICHMOND.

MAYBE EVEN. WE'VE CELEBRATED A BAR BAT MITZVAH WITH A FRIEND, OR WATCHED A SHOW AT A NOVEMBER OR THALHEIMER THEATER.

JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH IS NOT ONLY A CELEBRATION.

IT IS AN INVITATION TO LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER, TO APPRECIATE THE DIVERSITY THAT STRENGTHENS HENRICO, AND TO REAFFIRM OUR SHARED COMMITMENT TO RESPECT, INCLUSION AND UNDERSTANDING.

THE JEWISH AMERICAN STORY BEGAN IN 1654 WHEN A SMALL GROUP OF JEWISH REFUGEES ARRIVED IN NORTH AMERICA SEEKING SAFETY AND FREEDOM FROM PERSECUTION FOR GENERATION, JEWS OFTEN FLED OPPRESSION, EXPULSION OR FORCED CONVERSION IN SEARCH OF A PLACE TO LIVE VIBRANT JEWISH LIVES OPENLY, SAFELY AND WITH DIGNITY.

JUST OVER A CENTURY LATER, PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON AFFIRMED A NEW PROMISE THAT THIS NATION WOULD GIVE TO BIGOTRY NO SANCTION TO PERSECUTION, NO ASSISTANCE. AND HERE IN VIRGINIA, THE 1786 STATUTE FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM HELPED MAKE THAT PROMISE REAL, ENABLING JEWISH COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING THOSE WHO CAME TO OUR REGION IN THE 1760S TO GROW AND THRIVE AS PART OF THE COMMONWEALTH'S FOUNDATION.

THAT PROMISE REMAINS CENTRAL TO THE AMERICAN IDEAL.

THOUGH WE KNOW IT IS NOT ALWAYS FULLY REALIZED IN TODAY'S ERA, AS ANTISEMITISM AND HATE REACHES RECORD HIGHS, WE ARE REMINDED THAT FREEDOM AND INCLUSION REQUIRE CONSTANT VIGILANCE AND RENEWED COMMITMENT. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS OFFERED GENERATIONS OF JEWS AND ALL PEOPLE A LEVEL OF OPPORTUNITY AND BELONGING UNMATCHED IN HISTORY.

AT A TIME WHEN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY FACE DIVISION AND MISUNDERSTANDING, OBSERVANCES LIKE THIS REMIND US OF WHAT BINDS US TOGETHER OUR SHARED HUMANITY, OUR COMMON VALUES, AND OUR COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO BUILD A MORE JUST AND COMPASSIONATE SOCIETY.

ON BEHALF OF OUR JEWISH COMMUNITY, I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO HENRICO COUNTY FOR RECOGNIZING JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH AND FOR ITS ONGOING COMMITMENT TO FOSTERING A SAFE, VIBRANT, AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY.

WE EXTEND OUR HAND IN FRIENDSHIP TO ALL THOSE WHO SEEK TO STRENGTHEN AND UPLIFT THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY WE CALL HOME.

TODA RABA. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL DONE DANIEL. THANK YOU.

SO WE ALSO RECOGNIZE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT OUR COUNTY AGENCIES PROVIDE IN SERVICE.

AND TO THIS END, I'M GOING TO ASK LAURA TODDY TO COME FORWARD, OUR DIRECTOR OF MENTAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES.

AND IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE OF MENTAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES, WILL YOU ALSO COME FORWARD? I KNOW WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF YOU THAT ARE BEING RECOGNIZED.

THIS IS A SERIES OF RECOGNITIONS THAT HAVE COME ABOUT FOR OUR STAFF RECENTLY, AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IT'S NECESSARY TO RECOGNIZE THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

AND SO AS THEY COME FORWARD, THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES RECOGNIZED HENRICO AREA MENTAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES. THE PREVENTION SERVICES UNIT, FOLLOWING ITS 2025 PREVENTION BLOCK GRANT SITE VISIT. PRAISING THE TEAM AS A LEADER IN COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND ENGAGEMENT AND CREATIVE AND EFFECTIVE USE OF RESOURCES.

[00:15:05]

WITH TEN FULL TIME AND 12 PART TIME STAFF.

THE UNIT WAS COMMENDED FOR DELIVERING COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL PREVENTION STRATEGIES THAT EXCEED MINIMUM EXPECTATIONS AND FOR MAINTAINING INNOVATIVE PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS. THE REVIEW PRAISED THE TEAM'S ROBUST YOUTH PROGRAMING, INCLUDING WISE GUYS, WISE GUYS 2.0, QUEENS AND DREAMS YOUTH AMBASSADORS AND THE TEEN JOB PREP PROGRAM.

THESE INITIATIVES SUPPORT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

DBDS ALSO NOTED THE PREVENTION SERVICES UNIT, DEEP COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS, STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHOOLS AND AGENCIES, AND COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY BY EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY TO CONTINUE PREVENTION EFFORTS INDEPENDENTLY.

THE REPORT EMPHASIZED THAT THE WORK IS ROOTED IN TRUST, MENTORSHIP AND LONG TERM INVESTMENT IN YOUTH AND FAMILIES, RATHER THAN TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS.

THEIR WORDS, NOT OURS.

THE REVIEW CONCLUDED WITH STRONG PRAISE FOR STAFF'S PROFESSIONALISM, COMPASSION, CREATIVITY AND DEDICATION TO SERVING THE HENRICO COMMUNITY UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF JACLYN SMITH WHITE.

I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE FOLLOWING STAFF MEMBERS DAVID ROSS, SURPRISE PARKER, MICHAEL HARRIS, RODNEY GORE, CHARLENE BROWN, LUCILLE PETERSON, EARLENE CRUM, QUINCY SYKES, LATOYA RUCKER, KENDALL ROBINSON, YOLANDA HALL, JACQUELINE.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. I STAND ON BEHALF OF THE MENTAL HEALTH VOCATIONAL TEAM, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK OUR COUNTY MANAGER AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE RECOGNIZED.

AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO SHOUT OUT MY TEAM.

THIS HAS BEEN A LONG AND RIGOROUS PROCESS.

I'VE BEEN WITH THE TEAM FOR ABOUT TEN MONTHS, BUT THE TEAM HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS.

SO IT'S A LOT TO GO THROUGH.

AND FROM WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD, THIS PROCESS CAN REALLY IMPACT TEAMS. BUT THIS PROCESS REALLY HAS BROUGHT US TOGETHER.

WE'RE ALL STILL STANDING, STILL ON THE TEAM AND LOOKING FORWARD TO GREATER WORK TO COME. AND WE REALIZE THAT THIS ISN'T JUST A BRAG FOR OUR TEAM, IT'S A BRAG FOR THE AGENCY AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAD TO COME TOGETHER TO MAKE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE.

SO WE JUST THANK YOU AND WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU. MR. CHAIR, I HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. MANAGER. COLLEAGUES, ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES?

[5. Board of Supervisors’ Comments]

I'M GOING TO ASK FOR MADELINE ROSE TO PLEASE COME AND STAND AWKWARDLY AT THE PODIUM WHILE I TALK ABOUT YOU FOR A SECOND.

SO MADELINE FIRST, I THINK, MADE AN IMPACT IN THIS SETTING.

WHEN SHE SPOKE JUST AT A MEETING ABOUT CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY.

AND SHE'S A TUCKER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY WITH PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC AND HAD A PRESENTATION THAT WAS SO IMPRESSIVE THAT WE OFFERED HER AN INTERNSHIP AND WANTED HER TO SHARE HER TALENTS WITH US OVER THE SUMMER.

SO FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, HER VERY FIRST IMPRESSION UPON THIS GROUP HAS BEEN ONE OF NOT JUST BEING VERY TALENTED, BUT REALLY WANTING TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. SOME REALLY WHY, WHY WE ARE RECOGNIZING HER IN PARTICULAR TODAY IS MADELINE IS A SENIOR AT TUCKER HIGH SCHOOL.

SHE'S IN THE ADVANCED COLLEGE ACADEMY SPECIALTY CENTER.

SHE IS SHE GRADUATED SUMMA CUM LAUDE EARLIER THIS MONTH FROM REYNOLDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND WILL GRADUATE FROM TUCKER HIGH SCHOOL ON THURSDAY.

SHE'S ON HER WAY IN THE FALL TO VIRGINIA TECH TO STUDY NATIONAL SECURITY.

MADELINE PARTICIPATED ALL FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL IN TUCKER'S MARINE CORPS JROTC PROGRAM. AND OVER THE COURSE OF THAT TIME, SERVED AS A CADET PLATOON SERGEANT, EXECUTIVE OFFICER, AND COMMANDING OFFICER.

SHE PARTICIPATED ON THE MOTIVATION, ACADEMIC MARKSMANSHIP, MARKSMANSHIP, AND DRILL TEAMS, INCLUDING PARTICIPATING IN THE NATIONAL DRILL CHAMPIONSHIP. MADELINE WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF ONLY 14 MARINE CORPS OR NAVY JROTC STUDENTS IN THE COUNTRY. AND THERE'S AN R.

THEY'RE NOT THE COUNTY IN THE COUNTRY.

ONE OF 14 STUDENTS IN THE COUNTRY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS JROTC FLIGHT ACADEMY, MANAGED BY THE COMMANDER OF THE NAVAL AIR FORCES. THIS IS AN EIGHT WEEK SUMMER STEM PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR 11TH AND 12TH GRADE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE JROTC PROGRAMS. IT IS A PROGRAM THAT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $28,000 AND IS FULLY FUNDED BY THE MILITARY WITH NO SERVICE OBLIGATION.

AND I CAN SAY AS A VETERAN, THAT'S UNUSUAL. THEY USUALLY WANT SOMETHING BACK WHEN THEY SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON YOU.

AT THE END OF THE EIGHT WEEKS AT ELIZABETH CITY STATE UNIVERSITY IN NORTH CAROLINA, MADELEINE WILL HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN A PRIVATE PILOT LICENSE AND A DRONE LICENSE. MADELEINE WILL LEAVE FOR CSU IN JUST OVER A WEEK AND A HALF.

SO I READ ALL OF THAT AND FELT THAT WE COULD NOT, AS A COUNTY, NOT LET YOU GO OFF ON THOSE JOURNEYS WITHOUT BEING RECOGNIZED FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY STELLAR WORK THAT YOU HAVE PUT IN.

AND WE ARE SO PROUD. I'M GOING TO MAKE MY WAY DOWN TO YOU, BECAUSE WE WANT TO PRESENT YOU WITH A CERTIFICATE AND A GIFT.

[00:25:12]

AND A WONDERFUL GIFT HERE.

AND PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY A FEW WORDS.

THANK YOU. COUNTY MANAGER. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THIS IS BEING ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN REALLY IMPACTFUL FOR ME.

AND SO I FEEL VERY, VERY HONORED TO BE RECOGNIZED BY YOU GUYS TODAY.

I'VE SEEN MANY RECOGNITIONS THROUGHOUT THE TIME THAT I'VE COME TO MEETINGS. AND I HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY SHOUT OUT MY ROTC PROGRAM.

I'VE GOT TO SAY, TUCKER'S IS THE BEST IN THE COUNTY, IF NOT THE STATE.

WE, WE WORK REALLY HARD TO TRY AND GIVE OUR CADETS OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW AND THRIVE IN LEADERSHIP. AND I KNOW I PERSONALLY HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH FROM BEING IN THAT PROGRAM OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

I'VE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF PEOPLE ON THE FLY FOUR YEARS AGO, LET ALONE HAVE MADE A PRESENTATION TO YOU A FEW YEARS AGO WITHOUT THE CONFIDENCE THAT THAT PROGRAM GAVE ME TO PUT MYSELF OUT THERE, AND THEY JUST HAVE MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON MY LIFE AND I'M VERY EXCITED FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. SO THANK YOU FOR THE RECOGNITION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS ROUNDTREE. MR. SMITH, MR. ROGERS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. MR. CHAIR, WE MOVE INTO PRESENTATION.

[6. Recognition of News Media]

[7. Presentation]

[7a. Proclamation - National Homeownership Month - June 2026.]

AND IT PLAYS A ROLE IN ENRICHING LIVES AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT IT MAKES IN THE COMMUNITY. OUR CHAIR, REVEREND ROSCOE COOPER, IS GOING TO PRESENT THIS TO ERIC LEBEAU, OUR DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION.

HE'S JOINED BY CARMEN NOWICKI, DIRECTOR OF HOUSING ADVOCATE FOR COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION, AND EMILY HURLEY, HOUSING SPECIALIST.

AND BRENDA D'ORAZIO AND BRENDA HICKS FROM HOME, INC..

MR. MANAGER COLLEAGUES. WHEREAS, NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE MANY BENEFITS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP AND TO ENCOURAGE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE HOMEOWNERSHIP.

AND WHEREAS HOMEOWNERSHIP IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM, AND IT STRENGTHENS COMMUNITIES ECONOMICALLY AND CULTURALLY, AND ENCOURAGES RESIDENTS TO BUILD ROOTS AND INVEST IN THEIR COMMUNITY, CREATING A SENSE OF BELONGING, SAFETY, AND CONNECTION.

AND IT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE HEALTH AND PROSPERITY OF LOCALITIES IN OUR STATE AND NATION, INCLUDING HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA.

AND WHEREAS HOMEOWNERSHIP NOT ONLY ENHANCES THE WELL-BEING OF THE HOUSEHOLD AND CREATES A SOURCE OF PRIDE AND COMMUNITY, BUT OFTEN THE HOME IS THE FAMILY'S LARGEST ASSET, PROVIDING A SOUND BASIS FOR LONG TERM FINANCIAL SECURITY AND GENERATIONAL WEALTH.

WHEREAS CURRENT HOUSING MARKET CONDITIONS PRESENT NEW CHALLENGES, WITH AN EVER INCREASING NEED FOR ATTAINABLE HOMES, AND THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION, OTHER COUNTY AGENCIES AND MANY COMMUNITY PARTNERS, THE COUNTY CONTINUES TO ENHANCE ITS PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT HOME BUYERS THROUGH THE DOWN PAYMENT AND CLOSING COSTS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

THE HOME PURCHASE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND PROGRAM, TO NAME A FEW. AND WHEREAS THE COUNTY IS COMMITTED TO REDUCING BARRIERS TO HELP MAKE THE DREAM OF HOMEOWNERSHIP A REALITY FOR RESIDENTS IN HENRICO COUNTY.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA RECOGNIZES THE MONTH OF JUNE 2026 AS NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH, THE ECONOMIC IMPACT AND URGES ALL RESIDENTS TO RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF HOME OWNERSHIP PLAYS IN ENRICHING LIVES AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT IT MAKES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, AND TO THANK THE ORGANIZATIONS AND AGENCIES THAT SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ATTAINABLE HOUSING. TANYA AND BRACKETT CLARK.

MAY 26TH, 2026. ROSCOE COOPER, THIRD BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER.

COME ON BACK. DON'T LEAVE ME.

DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING.

[00:30:01]

SO THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER.

MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO ACCEPT THIS PROCLAMATION ON BEHALF OF COUNTY STAFF, NOT JUST DCR, BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER COUNTY AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO WAKE UP EVERY DAY EAGER AND EXCITED TO HELP WORKING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ACHIEVE THE DREAM OF HOME OWNERSHIP. JOINING ME TONIGHT IS EMILY HURLEY WITH DCR, AS WELL AS BRENDA HICKS WITH HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES MADE EQUAL HOME, INC.. UNFORTUNATELY, CARMEN NOVICKI, DAVID JOLEEN, JOSHUA, A BUNCH OF OUR STAFF COULDN'T MAKE IT.

AND ALSO BRENDA D'ORAZIO.

SO BRENDA AND BRENDA HICKS, WE GOT TWO BRENDA'S.

WE JUST SAY THE BRENDA'S BRENDA HICKS AND BRENDA D'ORAZIO WORK ON OUR EMPLOYEE HOME PURCHASE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WITH US.

ALSO FOR WHO ADMINISTER OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND PROGRAM.

SO JAVON, SHELBY AND WOODY COULD NOT MAKE IT TONIGHT DUE TO OTHER CONFLICTS CONFLICTS.

BUT AS YOU ALL KNOW, HENRICO CONTINUES TO BE A LEADER IN THE HOUSING SPACE BY PROMOTING AND SUPPORTING HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH ALL FROM ALL ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS. I TALKED ABOUT OUR MANY PROGRAMS. AGAIN, WE HELP PEOPLE ENTER THE OWNERSHIP MARKET, WHICH IS LIKELY THE BIGGEST ASSET THAT A FAMILY WILL EVER OWN AND THE SINGLE LARGEST OPPORTUNITY FOR GENERATIONAL WEALTH BUILDING.

I WILL CLOSE BY SHARING A STORY ABOUT THE IMPACTS THAT OUR PROGRAMS ARE HAVING IN THE COMMUNITY, AND I CAN TALK OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. SO I TALKED TO THE MANAGER ON THE WAY DOWN THE STAIRS ABOUT PURCHASING A BIKE.

SO A FEW, PROBABLY ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I BOUGHT A BIKE AT A LOCAL RETAIL STORE AND I WAS TALKING TO THE GUY HE WAS.

THEY HAVE TO DO ALL THIS, I GUESS TUNING OR MAKING SURE THE SHERIFF KNOWS THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BIKE IS WORKING PROPERLY.

SO I JUST HAPPENED TO BE TALKING TO THIS GUY, AND I DIDN'T REALIZE HE'S THE ASSISTANT MANAGER OF THE STORE. AND I SAID, HE'S LIKE, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO RIDE? AND I'M LIKE, WELL, WE HAVE PLENTY OF CAPITAL TRAIL, YOU KNOW, THE CAPITAL TRAIL AND OTHER TRAILS. AND HE'S LIKE, OH YEAH, I'M MOVING NEAR A TRAIL TO NEXT WEEK.

I'M CLOSING ON MY HOME.

SO I'M LIKE, OKAY, GREAT.

AND I SAID, SO YOU MUST BE BUYING IN VARENA.

AND HE'S LIKE, YEAH, BUT I'M NOT NEAR THE CAPITAL TRAIL. I'M NEAR THE PARK AND THE YMCA. I SAID, YOU'RE EITHER BUYING AT LANDMARK OR YOU'RE BUYING AT PARKSIDE TOWNS.

HE SAID, I'M ACTUALLY BUYING AT LANDMARK.

SO YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE BUYING UNDER THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND PROGRAM.

HE'S LIKE, HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT PROGRAM? I'M LIKE, I KIND OF KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT.

BUT HE TOLD ME, AND THIS IS THE PART THAT STRUCK ME, THAT HIT ME. HE'S LIKE, I WAS THINKING ABOUT MOVING BACK TO ROANOKE, WHERE I'M FROM. HE SAID, I CAN'T AFFORD TO PURCHASE A HOME IN THIS COMMUNITY. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THAT TRUST FUND PROGRAM, I WOULD BE MOVING BACK TO ROANOKE TO TRY TO FIND A MORE AFFORDABLE PLACE TO LIVE.

SO THAT STORY STRUCK ME.

AND THEN WE WERE IN THE RENTAL OFFICE FOR ONE OF THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS. WALNUT RIDGE, REVEREND COOPER, THAT'S IN YOUR DISTRICT. AND JUST TO HEAR THE STORIES FROM THE SALES FOLKS THAT TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT THE PROGRAM IS HAVING ON THE LIVES OF PEOPLE THAT NEVER THOUGHT THAT HOMEOWNERSHIP AND BUYING A HOME WAS WITHIN REACH.

SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT, AND THANK YOU ALL TO THE OTHER COUNTY AGENCIES AND THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT MAKE HOMEOWNERSHIP A REALITY.

MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU WOULD MOVE INTO YOUR AGENDA,

[8. Public Hearing Items]

WE BEGIN WITH MR. NEWBY, WHO WILL DESCRIBE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE

[8a. 105-26 Ordinance - Adopting a Recodification of the Ordinance of the County of Henrico, Virginia, Titled “The Code of the County of Henrico, Virginia of 2026. ]

ANDREW. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, IT'S MY GREAT PLEASURE TO PRESENT THIS ITEM FOR A PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING. THIS BOARD PAPER CODIFIES THE HENRICO COUNTY CODE.

THE CODE IS UPDATED PERIODICALLY, TYPICALLY EVERY 15 YEARS WITH THE COUNTY'S CODE PUBLISHER, CIVIC PLUS, TO DO FOUR THINGS IDENTIFY AND RESOLVE CONFLICTS AND INCONSISTENCIES, DELETE OBSOLETE PROVISIONS, AND MODERNIZE THE CODE TO REFLECT CURRENT NORMS, REMOVE REDUNDANT PROVISIONS, AND CONFORM TO CHANGES IN STATE AND FEDERAL LAW WHILE UPDATING CROSS-REFERENCES.

PREVIOUS RECODIFICATION OCCURRED IN 1980, 1995 AND 2010.

THIS WILL BE THE 2026 EDITION OF THE CODE, AND WITH THE CHAIR'S INDULGENCE, I'D LIKE TO THANK TWO PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO HAD A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THIS TEDIOUS BUT VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT.

THAT'S LEIGH ANN ANDERSON, OUR DEPUTY COUNTY ATTORNEY, CHIEF DEPUTY COUNTY ATTORNEY, AND KAREN GRISSETT, OUR BUSINESS SUPERVISOR.

KAREN IS THE KEEPER OF YOUR COUNTY CODE, AND SHE WAS ON EVERY ONE OF THESE CODIFICATIONS I JUST MENTIONED. 1980, 1995, 2010, AND 2026. AND SHE PROMISED THAT SHE WOULD STAND AND CHEER IF IT WERE APPROVED TONIGHT.

SO THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS NEWBY. COLLEAGUES. ANY QUESTIONS? MISS NEWBY, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYBODY PRESENT IN PERSON WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? ANYONE ON WEBEX TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? THERE'S NO ONE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU. THEREFORE, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

COLLEAGUES, IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED.

MOVED BY MISS ROUNDTREE. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND BY MISS ROGERS. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

[00:35:03]

THE ORDINANCE PASSES. THANK YOU.

GREAT WORK, YOU ALL. WHO'S SUPPOSED TO JUMP UP AND CHEER? NEXT, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, AGENDA ITEM 100 AND 6-26 IS A RESOLUTION FOR

[8b. 106-26 Resolution - Signatory Authority - Conservation Easement - Portion of Future New Market Park - Varina District.]

GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF I COULD FOR JUST A MOMENT, LET ME TEE THIS ONE UP BY NOTING WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN WORK SESSION.

MR. HUGHES SPOKE ABOUT A $2.5 MILLION COMMITMENT FOR PART OF THE NEW MARKET HEIGHTS TRAIL, WHICH WILL GO THROUGH THIS VERY PROPERTY, 3.1 MILE TRAIL FROM CAPITAL TRAIL TO THE RIVER.

THIS THIS IS THE COUNTY'S SECOND CONSERVATION EASEMENT.

AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE'S SO MANY THINGS WE DO IN THIS COUNTY THAT GO WITHOUT TOO MUCH RECOGNITION.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE TOOK A CONSERVATION ON THE EASEMENT ON THE WOODLAND CEMETERY, AND NOW WE ARE PARTNERING WITH A NONPROFIT FOR CONSERVING THIS PROPERTY, THE WETLANDS AND STREAMS THAT WILL BE PRESENT THEREIN.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, THIS BOARD PAPER WOULD AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A DEED OF CONSERVATION EASEMENT WITH BROADWATER INNOVATIONS, WHO IS A NONPROFIT CONSERVATION GROUP, TO PLACE A CONSERVATION EASEMENT OVER A PORTION OF THE FUTURE NEW MARKET HEIGHTS PROPERTY.

THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT WILL PROTECT THE KEY FEATURES OF THIS FUTURE PARK, AND IT WILL SERVE AS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE MITIGATION PROJECT THAT WE HAVE FOR WETLANDS AND STREAMS, WHICH WILL HELP US IN THE FUTURE AS WE GO FORWARD WITH OTHER PROJECTS IN THE COUNTY.

WITH THAT, MR. CHAIR, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THE BOARD MAY HAVE. THANK YOU, MR. YAP. COLLEAGUES. ANY QUESTIONS, MR. YAP. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THE ANYONE PRESENT AND PERSON WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? IS THERE ANYONE ONLINE THAT WILL SPEAK THIS ITEM? THERE'S NO ONE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.

HEARING NONE. THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

IS THERE A MOTION MOVED BY MR. SMITH? IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? SECONDED BY MISS ROUNDTREE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. THE RESOLUTION IS APPROVED.

THANK YOU SIR. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

MOVE BY MISTER ROGERS, SECONDED BY MISS ROUNDTREE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. THE ORDINANCE IS APPROVED. NEXT, MISTER CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU'D GO INTO PUBLIC COMMENTS. WE DO HAVE

[9. Public Comments]

AND THE CHAIR NOTED THE PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING THE BOARD.

FIRST UP IS JENNIFER LIEBERMAN.

LIEBERMAN, ARE YOU HERE? DON'T SEE YOU. ARE YOU ON WEBEX? THERE YOU ARE, MISS LIEBERMAN.

HI. MY NAME IS JENNIFER LIEBERMAN, I WILL FIRST SAY THAT I DID WANT TO GIVE AN ECONOMIC SPEECH, GIVEN SOMEONE'S COMMENTS, WITH ENGAGING IN SUPPORT FOR THE BOURGEOIS BOURGEOISIE AND AGAINST COUNTY BASED PROLETARIAT ENDORSED ECONOMIC GROWTH.

BUT SOMEONE HERE THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO GIVE A SORT OF SNIDE RESPONSE FACIAL RESPONSE AFTER MY FIRST SPEECH LAST TIME.

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU WON'T GIVE ME AT LEAST A HALF HOUR TO ACTUALLY EXPRESS MY MOST SINCERE DEVOTIONS, SO I SUPPOSE I NEED TO KEEP SPEAKING ABOUT NATURE WITH A SPRINKLE OF ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE TO EMULSIFY MY EXPANSIVE IDEA OF GOVERNMENTAL POLICY.

I AM THEN GOING TO TRY TO FURTHER ENTICE THE EMOTIONAL VIBRANCY OF MY SPEECH BY QUOTING EXCEPT CRIME BY ALEXISONFIRE, WHERE GEORGE PETTIT SHOUTS, LET THE CLERGY DAMN OUR EVERY EMOTION UNTIL EVERY IMPULSE IS A REVOLUTION.

BUT ANYWAY, THIS SPEECH IS TITLED APPROACHING THE CROSSHAIRS OF A HERETIC WHILE CONSTRUCTING AN UNFATHOMABLE FATE FOR THE UNHEARD MASSES.

TREES ARE SUCH AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE WHERE IT GIVES FOOD TO AND SHELTER TO PLANTS AND ANIMALS.

IT ENRICHES THE SOIL FOR MORE THINGS TO GROW, AND FROM A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE, GIVES SO MANY THINGS FROM AN ENERGY PERSPECTIVE. IT HELPS LOWER POWER BILLS BY GIVING SHADE TO THE HOUSING APPARATUS THAT EXIST, WHICH IN TURN HELPS LOWER THE BURDEN ON THE GRID.

WHILE WE ALLOW SUCH A DETRIMENTAL DISGRACE KNOWN AS DATA CENTERS, TO COEXIST WITH OUR SOCIETY, AS SHE MATTERS TO SO MUCH TO HENRICO FOR SOME REASON. REGARDLESS, I'VE TALKED PLENTY ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF TREES.

CLEARLY, I'M A TREE HUGGER, BUT IT'S SOMETHING I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IS THE NEGATIVES OF GETTING RID OF NATURE AND REPLACING IT WITH HUMAN MADE INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE'VE BEEN IN A DROUGHT FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, MONTHS. I THINK WE ALL KNOW THIS WHEN WE GET RID OF NATIVE PLANT LIFE THAT IS ABLE TO HOLD IN WATER AND REPLACE IT WITH NON-NATIVE GRASSES, CHEAPLY MADE HOUSING, AND OIL INFUSED ASPHALT.

THINGS GET WORSE AS THE WATER CYCLE GETS HARMED, WHICH CAN CAUSE A DROUGHT OR IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

WE DON'T HAVE NATIVE PLANTS TO ABSORB ALL THE WATER WHEN IT RAINS AND WHEN IT RAINS QUITE A LOT, IT CAUSES SOMETHING THAT THE AMERICANS, LIKE.

GEIST, WANTS A DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD THAT DESTROYS EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH.

FURTHERMORE, IN ANOTHER TIME, GIVEN IN ANOTHER DIRECTION, GIVEN TIME CONSTRAINTS, THE PATHWAY FOR GETTING AROUND IS APPROACHING MORE OF A DIRE CHALLENGE AS EACH DAY, AS MONEY GETS TIGHTER WITH HOW THE US GOVERNMENT HAS APPROACHED THEIR DEBACLE OF A FOREIGN POLICY, THIS COUNTRY HAS INVESTED HEAVILY IN BICYCLE PATHS, ROUNDABOUTS AND SIDEWALKS, WHICH AGAIN SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY NOVEL IDEA AND GREAT IDEA. BUT LET'S PAUSE AND THINK.

WHO USES SIDEWALKS? CHILDREN USE THEM TO GET TO SCHOOL, WHICH IS GREAT. BUT IF.

PEOPLE USE THEM AS A MEANS TO GO IN A CIRCLE, MEANING PEOPLE WHO HAVE TIME TO DO A VERY LOW EFFORT EXERCISE, PEOPLE WHO AREN'T WALKING ANYWHERE AS THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO WALK TO WORK, OR EVEN A BUS STOP BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SO FAR APART.

AND WHY? BECAUSE THIS COUNTY CARES MORE ABOUT RESTRICTIVE ZONING LAWS AND APPEASING THE HIGHLY ENGAGED VOTER OVER PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE, WHO DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY WITH SOMETHING THAT FEELS SO DAUNTING AND OUT OF REACH ANYWAY.

I FEEL LIKE TO SOME DEGREE, MY POINT IS NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD AS UNLESS SOMEONE HERE RIDES THE AFFORDABLE BICYCLE IN THE PARK BIKE PARKING AREA.

I'M THE ONLY PERSON HERE WHO ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY COMMUTES USING A BICYCLE, SAVE FOR THE RARE NEED OF USING A DIFFERENT FORM OF TRANSPORT, WHICH I WILL COMMEND TYRONE FOR HELPING APPROVE ANOTHER YEAR OF PUBLICLY FUNDED TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.

BUT WITH THAT, I. WITH THAT SAID, I SUPPOSE WHAT I'M ASKING FOR TODAY IS THAT YOU ALL TAKE A METAPHORICAL STEP, MEANING NOT LITERAL.

SET YOUR AUTOMOBILE AND ON FIRE AND DENOUNCE THE FORM OF MOBILITY AS A CAROUSEL OF HERESY.

NEXT, MR. CHAIR EMILY VAN DER SIDE.

ARE YOU HERE? MISS VAN DER SIDE, IF YOU WOULD GO TO THE PODIUM IN THE BACK.

THANK YOU. I JUST HAD A QUESTION

[00:50:09]

SO I LIVE ONE STREET OVER.

I LIVE OFF ELKO, AND THERE ARE TWO SCHOOLS ON THAT ROAD.

THERE'S A PUBLIC SCHOOL, ELKO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND A PRIVATE SCHOOL.

AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE ARE GOING TO BE ANY REGULATIONS OR REGULAR TESTING FOR THE WATER SUPPLY TO THOSE SCHOOLS.

MR. CHAIR. SO, MISS VAN DER SIDE TESTING OF WATER.

THE WATER FOR ELKO MIDDLE SCHOOL COMES FROM OUR WATER TREATMENT PLANT, WHICH IS TESTED MANY, MANY TIMES A DAY.

THE WATER GOING OUT IS THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO CONNECTION BETWEEN ANY KIND OF INDUSTRY AND THE PIPES IN THE GROUND THAT COME TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

ARE THERE ANY RECORDS? BECAUSE I ALSO WE HAVE A WELL ON OUR PROPERTY.

IS THERE ANY RESOURCES THAT I COULD BE PROVIDED TO JUST MAYBE MAYBE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. YES, MA'AM.

SO IF YOU WOULD, WOULD YOU GET.

MISS VAN DER SEEDS, THE DEPUTY HER CELL NUMBER AND IF IF I COULD I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW. WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PROGRAM THAT TEST WELLS WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP YOU WITH THAT. THANK YOU SIR.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU MADAM.

SO, MR. CHAIR, OUR FINAL SPEAKER THAT HAS SIGNED UP, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD IS MISS JOHNSON.

MISS JOHNSON, ARE YOU HERE? ARE YOU ON WEBEX, MISS JOHNSON? HE IS NOT, SIR. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ON WEBEX? THERE'S NO ONE TO SPEAK ON WEBEX.

OKAY. ANYONE ELSE IN PERSON THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THIS EVENING? MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SEEING NONE, YOU WOULD MOVE INTO YOUR GENERAL AGENDA. THE

[10a. 113-26 Resolution - Signatory Authority - Addendum to Commonwealth’s Development Opportunity Fund Performance Agreement - ASGN Incorporated - Three Chopt District. ]
