CITIZEN COMMENTS
Dr. David Sovine, Superintendent of Frederick County Public Schools, expressed his
appreciation and the School Board's appreciation for the work on the budget and the allocation
of $4.3 million in additional money. He noted that even with the additional funding the school
board would still have to cut needed staffng and equipment in order to accept the state's money
to enable a 2% salary increase. He went on to say the needs would not go away because they
were not funded. He stated that next year the schools would be facing an increase in the Virginia
Retirement System and increased debt service associated with the replacement Frederick County
Middle School. These two items total approximately $4 million. He hoped the Board of
Supervisors and School Board could engage in a dialogue to discuss the school's needs. He .
concluded by thanking the Board for their support of the school system.
Jay L. Marts, Gainesboro District, read the following statement:
"I ask you to vote ND on this tax increase and government expansion.
The budget increases over 5 %, property taxes increase over 7%, occupancy tax goes up and the
government employees receive a pay raise. This salary increase will put over $1500 into the
pockets of the average public servant and your will also cover the approximate 7% increase in
their health insurance.
There is an appropriate time to give incentives to government employees, such as when the
economy is strong and the private sector is thriving. This is not the case today.
This is a clear case of wealth re- distribution, same might say THEFT.
I previously reviewed the fifty -eight X58% County Department budget code line items c%
discovered that you were only able to find savings in one. A whopping �I400 in litter control. So
out of 2,$SO government employees, this doesn't event cover the increased funding for one of
them. NOT ONE.
I do not feel there was a serious effort to find any offsets in the budget to pay for these
government pay raises. dour only solution is to RAISE TAXES.
Today is Thomas Jefferson's birthday and I would remind you that "Back in the Day "... Our
founders instituted this government to secure our rights. Property high among them.
Additionally an important principle was that the power of the government must be derived from
the consent of the people.
We (the people) must consent.11l I do not believe you have our consent for the tax increase &
government expansion. Ilere are 100+ registered voters and taxpayers from the Gainesboro
District who say NO to this tax increase.
Thank you for allowing me to address the Board

they work to prepare for the fall HB2 application cycle. What follows is a preliminary list of
potential applications far the committee's consideration. Projects are not listed in priority order..
1. Route 37 from Exit 310 to Route 522

Warrior Drive and Warrior Drive from that location to its existing terminus is
being discussed as well.
2. Route 277 from Exit 307 to Double Church Road with realignment of Aylor Road.

��
developing a HB2 application list the intersections of Warrior Drive at Route 2i7, Clydesdale at
Route 522, and Paperrnill at Route 522 were discussed. Staff is expecting to potentially hear
about more as the Sheriff and his offices hear of them from the Deputies. The committee was
supportive of the list as presented; however, concern was noted regarding what form an
application for exit 313 improvements would take and noted that is should include County needs
on the east side of the interchange.
3. MPO Work Program
Staff provided the draft MPO work program to the Committee for review and comment.
The document is currently out for public comment.
4. Federal FAST Act
Staff provided a brief overview of the Federal Fixing America's Surface Transportation

VDOT but the key items were a renewed and increased focus on freight movement and an
attempt to start streamlining the environmental review and permitting process.
S. Ot11er
Mr. Racey noted that the new left turn signals are mostly working well however, there
needs to be some pause between when a vehicle arrives and the lights cycle to allow for the fact
that certain movement clear on their own.
