legislative agenda, particularly the sanctity of life. He stated that we live in a society where life
has taken a back seat to convenience. He went on to say that all human life was sacred and it
was never intended to be taken by anyone other than God. We should never treat human life
rashly.
Mr. Morrison then spoke about the work session prior to the meeting. He thought the

The motion died for lack of a second.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Lofton, seconded by Supervisor Fisher, the Board adopted
the 20171egislative initiatives, as modified.
1. Medicaid coverage for jail inmates. — Frederick County supports legislation to eliminate the
ineligibility of incarcerated inmates to receive Medicaid benefits. Currently state law requires
that incarcerated individuals lose their Medicaid coverage while they are in jail. This negatively
impacts the locality's contribution to local or regional jail budgets, especially with the increasing
numbers of chronically and mentally ill inmates on the rise. This proposed change would also
allow state inmates to receive Medicaid benefits while incarcerated.
2. Tax Incentives for Land Conservation — Frederick County supports increasing the tax incentives
in order to encourage landowners to participate in land conservation programs.
3. Funding for Public Education — Frederick County supports the use of state lottery funds
exclusively for public education.
4. Funding for transportation improvements — Frederick County supports increased funding for
local transportation improvements.
5. Reconsideration of SB 549 — Frederick County encourages the General Assembly to reconsider
the provisions of SB 549, which enacted § 15.2 - 2303.4 as an amendment to the Code of Virginia,
so that localities might, have the flexibility to better work with the development cammunity in
order to address the increased demand for public facilities and services (e.g. schools, roads,
parks, and public safety services) caused by increased residential growth. At a minimum, the
legislation needs to provide guidelines for localities to follow for implementation.
6. Increased Funding for Revenue Sharing Projects — Frederick County opposes the proposal to
reduce the amount of funding available for revenue sharing projects. Frederick County supports
increasing the amount money to be made available for revenue sharing projects.
7. Local Approval for Wireless Communications Facilities — Frederick County supports the
continuance of local government authority to approve the locations and conditions for the
Minute Book Number 42
Board of Supervisors Closed Session and Regular Meeting of 09/14/16

o�
placement of wireless communications facilities. Any attachment or co- location of
communications infrastructure on local government buildings and facilities and the fees for such
attachment should be determined by the locality.
8. Commonwealth Opportunity Fund — Frederick County supports maintaining existing funding
levels the Commonwealth Opportunity Fund {COF). The COF has been the target of budget cuts
over the past several years. Existing funding levels for the program must be, at a minimum,
maintained.
Economic Development Leadership — Frederick County supports consistent leadership at the
Virginia Economic Development Partnership because relationships are vital to economic
development and maintaining those contacts over time is essential to a successful marketing
program. Virginia's unique one -term gubernatorial term in the past led to a situation of frequent
turnover of state economic development leadership. Consistency in leadership will maintain and
enhance the business community's confidence as it makes decisions about investments in
Virginia and will give Virginia's governors an experienced resource to accomplish their economic
development goals and objectives.
10. Career Technical and STEM Education — Frederick County supports funding, access, and
enhancements to Career Technical Education and Science, Technology, Engineering &Math
(STEM) programs in order to enable employers to hire a quality workforce.
11. Skill- Enhancing Non - Credit /Credentiaing Courses — Frederick County supports additional
funding to increase opportunities for more non - credit credentialing courses provided through
the Virginia Community College System in order to enhance the specific skills of workers needed
by employers.
12. Creating and Maintaining a Competitive Product — Frederick County supports the Virginia
Buildable Sites Initiative and other efforts to provide a more competitive product for those
businesses looking to locate or expand in the Commonwealth. Site readiness is important to
Virginia's economic development efforts. Currently, Virginia has the lowest number of
buildable /certified sites in the nation.
15. Tax Returns Filed Electronically. The Commonwealth states they would prefer electronic tax
filings for simplicity and to expedite returns. Current law allows free tax. filings for lower income
earners and a fee for higher income earners. If the Commonwealth truly wants to encourage
electronic filings for all taxpayers, change the law to have the same terms apply to all taxpayers.
16. Presidential primary - Current law requires that to qualify for placement on the presidential
ballot for primary elections, the candidates must get 5000 registered voters signatures including
200 signatures from each of the 1lcongressional districts. Change the law to eliminate the
requirement that presidential candidates need to get signatures from each of the 11
congressional districts. All the states electoral votes go to the candidate who garners the most
votes irrespective of which congressional district from which they were cast; and / or

18. Tax Exemptions — Frederick County supports reverting authority to the locality to continue
existing tax exemptions previously granted by the General Assembly, priorto January 1, 2003.
19. Equal Taxing Authority for Counties Eligible for City Status — Frederick County supports
legislation to provide equal taxing authority for Counties based on population density {i.e.
Counties that already have the population density to be eligible for city status should also be
recognized for needing additional taxing authority to address the impacts of urbanization and
higher density, as currently defined in the State Code).
20. Machinery and Tools /BPOL Taxes — Frederick County opposes any efforts to restrict local
government revenue sources. Machinery and Tools Tax (M &T} represents $5.7 million for the
County and Business and Professional License Tax. (BPOL} generates $6 million irrrevenues.
21. Education Funding — Frederick County calls upon the Governor and General Assembly to fully
fund the Virginia Standards of Ctuality as recommended by the Board of Education and the
Standards of Accreditation.
22, Cost of Competing — Frederick County supports full reinstatement of the COCA (Cost of
Competing Adjustment) for teachers and support staff.
23. Nutrient Waste Load Allocations — Frederick County apposes any reallocation of existing State
Water Control Board (SWCB) approved nutrient allocations.
24. High Speed Internet Availability - Frederick County supports efforts that would improve access
to high speed Internet for its citizens and businesses.
25. Changes to Legal Notices —With limited readership of the legal notices published in area
newspapers, localities should be allowed to provide notice electronically and not be required to
subsidize newspapers.
26. Unfunded Mandates — Frederick County opposes the enactment of any new mandates on local
governments or school systems unless state appropriations are made to fully fund those
mandates.
27. Funding for State Mandated Positions - Frederick County believes the state should meet its full
funding obligations for constitutional officers and other state mandated positions. Frederick
County supports budget language that is clear and concise as it relates to any proposed pay
increases for constitutional officers and other state mandated positions.
28. Funding for Jails —The state should fully fund any increased costs or operational issues faced by
local or regional jails when a change to the definition of state - responsible prisoner or other term
results in an increase.
29. FOIA Rules — Frederick County supports enactment of a FOIA provision to prohibit the release of
home address, certification, and other personal information of law enforcement officers.
Frederick County opposes the expansion of FOIA rules to provide for the release of County
Administrator working papers and any requirement that the evaluation of the County
Administrator and County Attorney take place in a public meeting.
30. District Courts — Frederick County supports legislation to increase the salaries and staffing of
district courts in order to bring them on par with employees of circuit courts and other state
agencies. This may include dividing the state into regional districts to account for the differences
in housing and cost of living in different parts of the Commonwealth.
