RE: Revenue Sharing Application
DATE: July 15, 2008
At the March 12, 2008 Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board approved a resolution allowing
staff to submit a VDOT Revenue Sharing application for Renaissance Drive. Staff is now
seeking an updated resolution from the Board of Supervisors to proceed with application for
revenue sharing funds for the Renaissance Drive project from Route 11 to Shady Elm Drive.
This updated resolution is necessitated by the manner in which VDOT and the Commonwealth
Transportation Board have chosen to implement legislative changes to the project ranking system
for applications to the program.
The key changes to the resolution are that staff is recommending increasing the matching funds
from $1,000,000.00 to $1,001,000.00, and to withdraw the offer to manage the project locally.
Previously, staff was recommending that the County offer $1,000,000.00 in matching funds and
offer to manage the project in order to get into the first tier of consideration pursuant to
legislation updating the revenue sharing program. However, VDOT has opted to make those
legislative changes take effect in the next revenue sharing cycle. All that is required to get into
the first tier of consideration this year is that the County offer more than $1,000,000.00 in
matching funds.
