AGENDA
A meeting of the Public Safety Committee was held on Wednesday December 14, 2016,
at 8:30 a,m., at the Frederick County Public Safety Building, 1080 Coverstone Drive,
Winchester, VA. Committee members present were: Committee Chairman Gene Fisher,

Chief Denny Linaburg, Major Steve Hawkins, Communications Director LeeAnna Pyles, Deputy
County Administrator for Human Services Jay Tibbs, Deputy Fire Chief Larry Oliver, and
Sheriff Lenny Millholland. The following items were discussed:
Discussion Items
1. Departmental Budget Increases for FY18
Sheriff Millholland stated that his department's significant FY18'budget increase of $2.9
million would be allotted for vehicle replacement and new personnel. In his submission, his
department is looking to obtain approximately 25 cars per year to replace the existing fleet of
140 cars which currently have high mileage and maintenance costs in addition to hiring and
training 12 new deputies.
Director LeeAnna Pyles has requested a $63,000 increase for her department's FY18
budget submission. This would go to upgrade the dispatch centers current phone system in order
to receive Text to 9 -1 -1. This is starting to become the "norm" at dispatch centers, where
citizens have the ability to text in an emergency if their situation warrants. Given that Interstate
81 runs through the county and our proximity to Interstate 66, both major transportations routes,
the Director would like Frederick County to have this feature available. She noted that some
other localities along the I -81 corridor in our region are planning to implement this technology as
well.
Chief Linaburg presented his department's FY1$ budget increase request of $6.3 million
to the Committee. As in years past, personnel and training are a large part of his budget. request.

He is requesting for funding of 29 additional personnel. Clothing, vehicle replacements, radios
and gear are factored into the increase as well. Chief Limburg emphasized that the self -
contained breathing apparatus' are coming to the "end of life" and need to be replaced. This is a
vital piece of equipment for fire fighters. He advised that his office has applied for a grant that
would offset some of the cost (up to $1 million dollars) of the estimated $3 million dollar cost. It
will be spring of 2017 before there will be any announcement of the grant award.
2. RFP Study Update
Chief Limburg updated the Committee on the status of the Fire &Rescue Study. He
advised that a committee had been established and a Request for Proposal was prepared and
advertised with a number of firms responding to the RFP. He went on to say that a sub-
committee has been meeting to review the proposals and they have narrowed the interview list
down to 4, including PSSI, CPSM, Fitch and ESCI. Interviews will be held on Tuesday,
December 20, 2016.
3. OtherBusiness
Helen Lake inquired about the dropping of radio signals out in the field. Director Pyles
stated we are in the process of upgrading the Sheriff's Office radios which will cost between
$25, 000 - $30,000. It was reiterated that there are "dead" spots within the County and we are
working on minimizing the issue. Major Hawkins added that his office has obtained new radios
at no cost however they need batteries, antennas and programming. Fire &Rescue's Fred Kinder
and Captain Karl Steudl, who is retiring at the end of January, have been working in tandem to
reprogram these radios. The both of them have extensive knowledge of our radio system and it
keeps the cost to a minimum. By week's end, the Sheriff s Office will test 10 of these new radios
in the field.
Chief Limburg gave kudos to Chief Henry Shiley (Co.12) who is retiring at year's end
after 53 years as Chief of Middletown Volunteer Fire &Rescue Company.

Improvement Plan. Staff also noted that this recommendation is contingent upon what format
the Board of Supervisors chooses to adopt for the Capital Improvement Plan.
The Committee reviewed and endorsed the Staff recommendation by consensus..
2. Gainesboro School Transportation
Mr. Wayne Lee of the Frederick County Public School System was present to update
the Committee on the transportation at the Gainesboro School on Route 522 North.
Previously the Committee had requested more information on an alternative route to Route
522 via Gainesboro Road. Mr. Lee noted that one of the issues with Gainesboro Road is that
the crossover of Route 522 is not wide enough to hold a bus.
Mr. Oates asked about the possibility of shifting the southbound lanes of Route 522
to allow for a wider median and noted that there appears to be right -of- -way available. Mr.
Lee stated that this had not been considered.
Mr. Fisher asked whether (other issues aside) a stop light would allow vehicles to exit
the facility and head North on Route 522. The answer was yes, but additional safety concerns
were noted.
Mr. Tierney noted that the sight distance at the existing entrance cannot be fixed and
that the only real long term solution is to get the traffic to Gainesboro Road.
Staff asked whether a signal warrant had been completed for Gainesboro Road at Route
522 that took into consideration school traffic using Gainesboro Road. Tt had not.
Mr. Fisher reiterated that warning lights are necessary such as those used on Route
460 in Bedford County.
Mr. Racey asked how many buses would not have to access Route 522 at all if the school
traffic was sent to Gainesboro Road. While the exact number was not available the estimate
was 10 -15. A number of individuals discussed the possibility of keeping the existing entrance to
the school as a right in/right out access.
The consensus of the Committee was to continue looking into the possibility of getting
school traffic an entrance onto Gainesboro Road, changing the existing access point for the
schools to a right n/right out entrance, extending the left turn lane of Route S22 at Gainesboro
Road and evaluate a signal at Gainesboro and Route 522.
Mr. Fisher noted his hope that the traffic issues for the 12th elementary school will be
addressed prior to consiruction. Mr. Lee noted that the school division is working hard on
that and is currently having discussions with Shockey for additional access. Mr. Lee noted that
ultimately two - thirds of the student population in the 12�' elementary school is expected to
be from the Snowden Bridge Development.
Mr. Oates noted that this discussion highlights the need to look at infrastructure when
schools are planned.
3. Transportation Forum Report
Staff provided the feedback received from the Transportation Foram to the Committee
as well as photos from the event (attached). Staff also noted that there was a great turnout and
that they had received numezous compliments on the event.

Executive Director of the Sanitation Authority Eric Lawrence addressed the Board and
stated the proposed amendments were minor revisions. Currently the names,' addresses and
terms of authority members are included in the Articles of Incorporation and therefore reflect
members who no longer have a role on the Sanitation Authority Board. The Articles of
Incorporation will simply state that the membership will consist of five members with 4 year
terms. Mr. Lawrence further stated another revision is to empower the authority members to
establish their own compensation as deemed appropriate. The Frederick County Sanitation
Authority makes no profit and its operations and finances are independent of Frederick County's
tax supported services. Frederick County Sanitation Authority members and its customers pay
the compensation of its board members. The Sanitation Authority Board has stated its intent to
increase the compensation from $200 per month to $300 per month.

OTHER PLANNING ITEMS
REZONING APPLICATION #1.2 -16 - SNOWDEN BRIDGE STATION -
PROFFER AMENDMENT — RESOLUTION #056 -17 — APPROVED
Assistant Planning Director Candice Perkins presented the application to amend the
proffers from Rezoning #03 -OS for 59.223 acres of land. She stated this minor proffer amendment
Minute Book Number 42
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of Ol /11117
County of Frederick, Virginia

seeks to amend a transportation proffer that previously dedicated public right -of way for the
construction of the realignment of Redbud Road. Since the 2005 rezoning was approved, the
proposed realignment for Redbud Road has been relocated to the Graystone property and therefore
a public right -of- -way dedication is not necessary. The Applicant is requesting to revise the
proffer to make this dedication a private access easement for five properties should they no longer
have access to Redbud Road once itrs relocated (Ezra Lane). This amendment would bring the
proffers for this site into alignirlent with #04 -16 which was approved in June of 2016, making
the eastern portion of this roadway private. She further stated this site is located within the Sewer
and Water Service Area (SWSA) and is located within the limits of the Northeast -Land Use Plan
of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies these properties
with an industrial land use designation. The subject properties are currently zoned M1 (Light
Industrial) District and therefore consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, The proffer
statement has been modified to eliminate previously completed proffers, reduce the
maximum allowable square footage based on land subsequently rezoned ( #04 -16) and the
applicant has increased the monetary contribution from $0.01 per structural square foot to $0.10
per building square foot for Fire and Rescue.
Supervisor Dunn asked if any property owner affected objected.
Ms. Perkins replied no.
Upon motion by Supervisor Slaughter, seconded by Supervisor Dunn, the Board

Supervisor Dunn stated the Parks and Recreation Commission had met and discussed
Frederick Heights Park which is underutilized. The commission is considering expanding that
park by putting in a multi -use bike path. This park will serve eastern Frederick County and as
the park grows, so will the need for its services which will need to go through the budget
process. He stated he hopes to have the Board's support at that time.
Secondly, he commended Eagle Scout Blake Sandy for his work on a project at Sherando
Park facilitating access to the restrooms.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Susan Brinkmyer, Stonewall District, addressed the Board and stated she is in support
of the School Board's proposed projects. She stated waiting is not wise and they will pay more
later. She asked the Board to move forward and open this for public comment.
John Nelson, Opequon District, and principal of Sherando High School, addressed the
Board and stated he is in support of construction of the fourth high school. He addressed the
safety and security issues, and severe weather concerns with the outside classrooms. He noted
entering and exiting during an evacuation is problematic. He stated students are taught
differently today, teachers teach differently today and asked the Board to consider building the
school for future standards.
Tom Chunta, Opequon District, addressed the Board regarding their inaction to move
forward on the construction of the fourth high school. He addressed the safety issues and
concerns. He stated construction costs will always rise and to delay would not be financially
prudent and asked the Board to schedule this for public comment.
Brandi Hammond, Shawnee District, addressed the Board and stated she is concerned
about the CIP not moving forward. Space is needed and they are already behind schedule. She
stated she is worried about future growth and the current environment is not conducive for
educating students. She too addressed safety concerns, class sizes and the ability to attract
quality teachers. She asked the Board to think about future children coming up.
Elizabeth Mistretta, Opequon District, and principal of Evendale Elementary, addressed
the Board and stated that her position gives her a different perspective. She stated all students
deserve quality education and an optimal learning environment. She asked the Board to support
the School Board's CIP.
Carrieanne Hite, Shawnee District, addressed the Board and stated she supports the CIP

and building of the fourth high school. She felt the design of the proposed school was thoughtfill
and in alignment with the recommendation of the Department of Education and was not in
excess. With respect to post, new schools cannot compare to the recommended standards of
schools built in the past_
Craig Walshner, Gainesboro District, addressed the Board and their inaction on the CIP
and the fourth high school. Stated they are at 103% capacity and three years down the road, it
will be worse. As an athletic director, there is less opportunity for the students due to number of
kids and the room for them. New schools need to accommodate the future and he asked the
Board to hold a public hearing.
Tracey Sawyer, Opequon District, and Sherando High School teacher, addressed the
Board and stated she is in support of the fourth high schaol. 31% of science classes are already
overcrowded. Currently, Sherando does not meet the needs. She has to keep moving her
classroom and has been doing so for fourteen years, as she has not had a room of her own. She
stated due to overcrowding, this creates safety issues and inadequate learning issues.
Joe Salyer, Stonewall District, addressed the Board and stated he is concerned about
educating the students and being able to keep up with the trends. If history repeats itself, growth
will continue, new occupational opportunities will surface and educational needs of our youth
will change. He encouraged the Board to support the education of our youth and noted the need
for the fourth high school.
Rhonda Bodensehatz, Opequon District, and Sherando Business Department chair,
appeared before the Board and addressed the overcrowding and how that affects students and
colleagues. There is no room for teachers, a closet has now become a room for three teachers,
students have long lines to the restroom. Students miss announcements due to overcrowding and
getting to class. Students have electives, but cannot get into that class due to space and end up
taking a class just because there is a seat for them. They end up unmotivated and can tend to
have behavioral problems. She supports and encourages the Board holding the public hearing on
the fourth high school.
Jennifer Williams, Shawnee District, parent and substitute teacher, addressed the Board
and stated she has been in all schools and sees the overcrowding. Does not understand the delay,
With the recent economy and development, where does the Board expect these children to go?
She asked the Board to please move forward with the CIP and public hearing on the renovations

and the fourth high school.
Jason Treseidder, Shawnee District, parent and teacher, addressed the Board with
reference to the overcrowding and lack of support. He stated the CIP and the Board's Comp
Plan encourages growth and the need to have schools large enough to support the growth. He
asked the Board to reconsider having the public hearing.
Elizabeth Howe, Opequon District, teacher and administrator in Frederick County
Schools, addressed the -Board and asked them to please provide the fourth high school. She
addressed the overcrowding and stated James Wood High Scllool is outdated. She stated
teaching is not the same as in 1966 or 1996. It is different now and the Board needs to take steps
to become a premier school division so they can address the needs of students.
Jim McConnell, Shawnee District, and teacher, addressed the Board with reference to
the growing number of students with attention issues. Wheu these students get into the
overcrowded/larger classrooms they become distracted and they are already behind. Asked the
Board to think about all students and invest in all students.
Alan Morrison, Gainesboro District, addressed the Board and stated it is their duty and
that of the citizens to provide education but it is their responsibility to do it right. He stated there
is a misconception and that it is the Board who provides the money based on the proposals the
School Board submits, but it is the Schoo] Board who controls how the money is spent. He
stated with the high rate of residential development, the taxes will not support the services those
houses require. He also addressed security and stated that they have cast out of the schools
civility, morality and spiritual direction, and as long as they prohibit those things, they will never
have security regardless of the facility they put in place. He asked the Board to not Fairfax
Frederick County as that seems to be the path they are on.
Joy Kirk, $ack Creek District, and President of FLEA, addressed the Board and
referenced some concerns that had not been addressed due to overcrowding. She referenced the
modulars and additions, and pointed out the cafeteria remains the same, the hallways do not get
wider and students have to use those hallways to get where they need to be. There is only so
much jostling that someone may take and kids,may react inappropriately. Stated they are already
over 100% capacity and it needs to be 80 %, room to grow. She asked the Board to look at all the
scenarios and ask all the questions.
Dr. David Sovine, Superintendent of Frederick County Schools, asked the Board to
Minute Book Number 42
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of Ol /ll /17
County of ia'rederick, Wirginia
zz�
reconsider their decision to take no action on the School Board's request and appropriate the
funds needed to fund the top three priorities, those being the Armel Elementary renovations, the
construction of the fourth high school and 12`" elementary school. These projects will help
address the overcrowding and future enrollment growth. He noted other projects on their CIP
that need to be addressed as they have been on the list far over a decade. He stated further delay
of projects will add to the cost. Dr. Sovine stated that he and the School Board are committed to
working with the Board of Supervisors to address the issues and are available to answer any
questions.
Mike Curse, Gainesboro District, addressed the Board and referenced proffers and how
the laws are changing. He stated that Frederick County has to pay for more than just schools and
they need to keep that in mind.
BOARD Ok' SUPERVISORS COMMENTS
Chairman DeHaven stated that they are committed to working with the School Board and
others in the community to find a path tc bring this community forward. He stated they are
committed to working together and that it will not get easier. He stated he appreciated everyone
#aking their time to come out.
Supervisor Wells thanked everyone for coming out and they took their comments to
heart. He reiterated Chairman DeHaven's comments in that they are committed to working
together to find a path.
Supervisor Dunn thanked everyone for coming out. He stated his concerns going forward
are cost. He stated in addition to the School Board's request, is the need in the future for a new
county courthouse, and a new administration building. He proposes delaying the request for five
years as county debt would then go down and they will have saved money to have more of a
down payment and less of a load. He understands they need to work together and is willing to
talk with the citizens.
County Administrator Garton stated that Supervisor Fisher is in Richmond and that the
Governor had made an announcement that Navy Federal Credit Union would be investing $100
million to expand its operations in Frederick County and would create fourteen hundred new
jobs.
