CITIZEN COMMENTS
Kathleen Bochert, employee of Frederick County Public Schools, noted the current
building problems at Aylor and asked the Board to address replacing the building.
Laonna Rauser, Back Creek District, said she is a Counselor at Aylor. She said the
building is run down andthe condition is stressful for students.
Amber Wallin, Opequon District, said there is a divide among Board members with some
favoring needs of retirement age residents and others favoring needs of the younger population.
She said there has been a long uphill battle to get the Aylor building replaced.
Stella Wallin, Opequon District, said she is a student at Aylor and wants to be able to stay
warm in her classroom and not hear the beeping of the CO2 monitor, adding that her school
should be safer.

Jessica Shostek and Sophia Guntang, Back Creek District, said they represented the
Aylor SCA. They said they know that the Board is not in agreement about the need for
replacement, but they are asking that the building be replaced.
Adeline Wallin, OpequonDistrict, said she is a student at Aylor and thinks the building
needs to be replaced.
Cora Rauser and Kate Guntang, said they are students and that it is hard to work in the
Aylor building because it is dark, noisy, and smells like mold.
Maura Guntang, Back Creek District, parent of an Aylor student, said the bandaid of the
CO2 monitors is very distracting to students and staff. She said other schools are in better
condition and asked the Board members how they would feel if their child attended Aylor.
Kyle Sakai, Aylor student, said the building is in bad shape and asked the Board to stop
delaying on replacing the building.
Gabi Sakai, said she had attended Aylor and was now at Sherando High School. She said
the community is not looking for a $30 million school like Frederick County Middle School but
rather just a safe school building. She petitioned the Board to take care of all the students.
Tara Shostek, Back Creek District, asked the Board to take into consideration that there
are many middle schoolers in attendance who feel passionately and are speaking to the Board.
She said the building is in need of replacement. She noted that during an intruder alert last year
the students spent an hour and a half under desks knowing their classroom doors would not lock.
She said the CO2 monitors chirp every 45 seconds.
Annie Jones, Opequon, said it is patently false that the air quality issue is being used as a
way to of getting a new building. She asked the Board members to listen to those who are in the
building and know the problems. Her daughter, Katherine Jones, said she has suffered from
headaches and congestion and now her family is moving out of the district to avoid her attending
Aylor.
Jackson Stein, Opequon District and Middletown Elementary student, said he has a
chronic illness and is concerned about attending Aylor next year. He said the County should
plan ahead for buildings and the only solution is to build a new school.
Eva Stein, Opequon District and Middletown Elementary student, askedthe Board to
please not wait to build the new school.
Adam Stein, Opequon District, said he is the parent of Middletown Elementary students.
He is hopeful his youngest child will attend a new Aylor School.
Ann Agregaard, Red Bud District, said she trulyhopesthe Board will fund a new Aylor
building. She invited the Board to her classroom at Aylor and described several problems in her
room. She noted the fans that were placed to address the CO2 issue have been the subject of
complaintsby the Fire Marshal because of the electrical cords on the floor and the fact that the
fans block doorways.
Joan Thorp, Back Creek District, said she spoke at an earlier meeting and now her
daughter has missed40 days of school at Aylor because of illness. She said her20-year-old son
had similar issues when he attended Aylor,and theproblems have now becomechronic. She
noted that old school buildings had windowsthat openedallowing fresh air to circulate whilethe

new school is a necessity.
Hanna Cadd, Opequon District, said she was a student and has now moved out of the
district. She said she had health issues while attending Aylor. She asked the Board to consider
building a new Aylor school.
Amber Wallin, Opequon District, continued her earlier remarks saying that she
understands after the new Frederick County Middle School was built there may be reservations
about letting the School Board build again. She said that the residents need the Board members
to hear and say they understand that the current Aylor building is not acceptable. She said
residents, both young and retirement age,may leave the area because of the Aylor situation.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
REZONING #05-17 FOR O-N MINERALS (CHEMSTONE)CARMEUSELIME &
d/b/a
STONE–PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED UNTIL APRIL 25, 2018
Submitted by Lawson and Silek, PLC., to Amend the Proffers for this Property; Rezoning 394.2
Acres from the EM (Extractive Manufacturing) District with Profferto the EM (Extractive
Manufacturing) District with Revised Proffers. The Properties are Situated Generally West of the Town of
Middletown.Specifically, the Middle Marsh Property is Located East of Belle View Lane (Route 758),
and West and Adjacent to Hites Road (Route 625) and is Further Traversed by Chapel Road (Route
627).The Northern Reserve is Bounded to the South by Cedar Creek and is West and Adjacent to
Meadow Mills Road (Route 624).The Properties are Identified with Property Identification Numbers 83-
A-109 and 90-A-23 in the Back Creek Magisterial District.
Assistant Director of PlanningCandice Perkins said the Applicant is seeking to revise the
profferspertaining to viewshed plans, berms, landscaping and cemetery accessrelated to
Rezoning #03-06 for O-N Minerals(Chemstone) which was approved in 2008.She said this
proffer amendment proposes to remove thepreviously proffered Overall Plan, Phasing I, II, III
and IV Plans and six of the twelve viewshed plans, and proposes to utilize a Generalized
Development Plan and nine viewshed plans.She continued saying this amendment seeks to
revise the timing of the installation of the berms, revise the heights of theberms, seeks to remove
the landscaping exhibit for the berms, revisesthe access for one of the twocemeteries and
removes the water supply and reclamation proffers.
In reference to the berm timing revisions, Ms. Perkins said the proposed amendment
states that the berms would be installed afterpermitting and one year prior to the extraction of
material for processing. She said this greatly reduces the timing for the landscaping to become
establishedand appears to allow for a significant earthwork prior to berm installationand added
there is no timing for Berm C south of Chapel Road.
Ms. Perkins noted that the approved proffers statethat “access via public secondary roads
shall be limited to the quarry entrance on McCune Road,” Proffer 2.1 prohibits access to Chapel
Road for quarry operations, and the proffered GDP also indicate a proposed tunnel under Chapel
Road.
Ms. Perkins said the Planning Commission at their February 21, 2018 meeting
unanimously recommended denialof this application. She notedthat the Applicant submitted
revised proffers following review bythe Planning Commission (dated March 2, 2018). Ms.
Perkins concluded saying that elements of the rezoning application have beenidentified that
should be carefully evaluated to ensure that they fully address the impacts associated withthis
amendment, specifically elements pertaining to the timing of Berms C and D, the berm heights
forBerm D and that the cemetery access should be evaluated.
Ty Lawson, representing Carmeuse, introduced Michael Wilmoth of Carmeuse who
provided an overview of the request. Mr. Wilmoth said the company met with the neighbors of
the property in question and the consensus was that moving the berm and changing the berm
timeline were good things. He discussed a list of 11 items that were requested by the neighbors
saying Carmeusehas been able to agree to eight of them.
Supervisor Dunn discussed berm heights and suggested that thethird-partynoise survey
11
Minutes * Closed Session and Regular Meeting
FREDERICK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
March 14, 2018
report on berm heights be shared with the neighbors to alleviate some of their concerns.
Mr. Lawson said the re-zoning and amendment process was begun in 2016 and that
County staff had suggested in 2017 that the company reviewwhat had been accomplished since
the original rezoning in 2008. He highlighted the changes.
Dr. Clarence R. Geierdiscussed the Phase I Archeological Survey which was conducted
on the property.
Supervisor Dunn inquired if there could be a change regarding the ten-year waiting
period before operations begin. Mr. Lawson said the proffer amendment calls for the waiting
period to be at least one year.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing.
The public hearing speakers were as follows:
John Owens, Back Creek District, wonders why the proffers are being changed now
saying the proffers are bad for the County and the citizens because they benefit Carmeuse and
not the citizens. He noted the money spent at Clear Brook, the new truck traffic that would come
and issues with water rights in the area. He asked the Board to think carefully before approving
the amendment.
Richard Dye, Back Creek District,said he has concerns about the section 2 berm. He
said he is in favor of the ten-year waiting period and the 30’ berm, adding that he wants to see
definitive language about what portion could encroach on the Middle Marsh Brook stream area.
Kevin Barrington, Back Creek District, said that blasting is the issue rather than berm
heights. He said the original rezoning in 2008 was irresponsible and is the real problem. He said
he had asked Carmeuse for several things and they are not compromising. He concluded saying
the 30’ berm is the way to go.
Bill Hunter, Back Creek District, said his concerns are with the documents. He said the
citizens have not been able to get involvement from the Board of Supervisors, yet Carmeuse was
able tomeet with the BackCreekDistrictSupervisor. He continued saying that Carmeuse was
not compromising, the neighbors have worked hard to get to agreement with Carmeuse and the
2008 rezoning sealed the fate of the neighbors who are losing equity in their homes. He referred
the Board members to the Vision Statement issued in March 2009which speaks to attracting
business to the County.
Mike Swigert, Back Creek District, said much of the controversy is the 2008 rezoning.
He said each resident has different requests, and that moving the berm is a good idea.
Robin Young, Back Creek District, said that Carmeuse has been condescending and
bullying to the neighbors. She reminded the Board that VDOT comments on the matter say
access to Chapel Road is granted contingent upon theapproval of VDOT.
Ed Streun, Back Creek District, said he prefers the berm be built later when excavation
begins saying the revised proffer at least gets the dirty part of the job out of the way.
Kurt Burgoyn, Back Creek District, said the issue is money and Carmeuse wants to spend
as little as possible. He said the 2008 rezoning was in favor of Carmeuse and now the new
proffers allow Carmeuse to do less to protect their neighbors. He asked the Board not to allow
Carmeuse to add to its bottom line at the expense of Frederick County residents. He asked the
12
Minutes * Closed Session and Regular Meeting
FREDERICK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
March 14, 2018
Board to vote to deny the amendment or at least send it back for further review.
Bruce Neal, Back Creek District,said Carmeuse will be mining stone and if done under
the original proffers it will be worse for the neighbors.
Keon Banks, Back Creek District, said in reference tothe timing of the berms that 365
days is not long enough for a tree to become secure enough to withstand blasting. He said he
would like to see more negotiations and that the proffer wording needs to be revised. He asked
the Board to assist with the resident-Carmeuse negotiations, adding that the wording of the
proffers is not yet where it should be.
Mary Bowser, Back Creek District, said the 2008 rezoning affected her. She said there
are few ways residents can have an impact on what is happening to them and asked for help with
the proffer language to assist in protecting the neighbors.
Paul Kisak, said he is a residentof Chapel Road, said he agrees with his neighborsthat
there will be damageto lifestyleand homes in the area. He suggested an extensionto allow the
Board to review the proffer language.Mr. Kisak said the residents literally will be living in an
earthquake zone. He supplied a written statement to be distributed to the Board members.
Paul Clevenger, Back Creek District, thanked Chairman DeHaven for voting against the
rezoning as a Board member in 2008. He said his biggest concern is the tree line area.
Bill Hunter added to his earlier remarks about the County’s visionstatement which
mentions quality of life. He said the majority of the citizens want moretime for the matter to be
considered, and also want no more compromise with Carmeuse unless the Board helps with
discussions.
Robin Young added to her earlier remarks reiterating that VDOT wants to be involved in
the matter but were unaware of the project. She asked the Board to table the issue, adding that
Supervisor Dunn has been out to visit with the residents and suggested more of that would be
helpful.
Paul Kisakadded to his earlier remarks saying the proffer language is not close to being
completed. He said that test blasting should be performed because all neighbors are being put at
risk.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Mr. Lawson responded to the public hearing comments. He said he appreciated the time
and comments of the Board and the project’s neighbors. He said there have been seven
amendments to the proffers and highlighted the proposed changes.
Vice Chairman Lofton requested a sidebar conversation with Mr. Lawson and the
Carmeuse representatives.
Chairman DeHaven called a three-minute recess.
Chairman DeHaven recognized Vice Chairman Lofton.
Vice Chairman Lofton said there were issues still outstanding and moved that the vote be
postponed. Supervisor Wells agreed with the postponement. Supervisor Slaughter suggested that
the public hearing be continued until April 25stating that it would be helpful to hear from the
citizens to ensure that an agreement has been reached. Vice Chairman Lofton amendedhis
motion to request continuing the public hearing until April 25.Supervisor Dunn seconded the

motion which carried on a voice vote.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #09-17:GREGORY A. BISHOP(SHENANDOAH
MOBILE,LLC)COMMERCIAL TELECOMMUNICATIONFACILITY-
APPROVED
Submitted to Construct a Wireless Commercial Telecommunication Monopole Tower with
Supporting Equipment in a Fenced Compound.The Property is Located at 219 Round Hill Road,
Winchester, Virginia and is Identified withProperty Identification Number 52-A-254 in the Back Creek
Magisterial District.
Mark Cheran, Zoning & Subdivision Administrator, introduced the conditional use permit
request. He said if the Board were to approve the permit, the following conditions are
recommended by the Planning Commission:
1.All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times.
2. The tower shall be available for collocating personal wireless services providers.
3. A minor site plan shall be approved by Frederick County.
4. The tower shall be removed by the Applicant or property owner within twelve (12) months
of abandonment of operation.
5. In the event a telecommunications tower is not erected within twelve (12) months of the
approval of this Conditional Use Permit, the CUP will be deemed invalid.
6. Any expansion or modification of this use will require a new Conditional Use Permit.
Inaddition, Mr. Cheran said that should the Board of Supervisors find that the waiver to
the required setback is acceptable, a motion to recommend approval of the setback reduction of
69’ to allow the tower to be 134’ from the identified property would be appropriate.
Supervisor Dunn inquired if the setback were big enough to accommodate the collapse
of the tower. Mr. Cheran explained the structure is designed to collapse on itself. Supervisor
Slaughter verified the tower height of 138’.
Lynn Koerner, site acquisition specialist with Shentel provided an overview of the
process for choosing the proposed site.
Supervisor Dunn asked whether the surrounding property owners had been notifiedof the
request, and Mr. Cheran replied affirmatively.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing. There were no speakers. Chairman
DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairman Lofton moved for approval of the conditional use permit #09-17 with the
six conditions recommendedby the Planning Commission and including the setback waiver as
requested by the applicant. Supervisor Slaughter seconded the motion.
Supervisor Dunn asked whetherthe Planning Commission had received any objectionsto
the permit. Mr. Cheran said that no objections had been received but one resident spoke in favor
of the project because it will boost his wireless service.

PROPOSED SPRINGDALE ROAD TRUCK RESTRICTION –PROPOSAL TO CLOSE
ROUTE 649 TO TRUCKS FROM ROUTE 11 TO ROUTE 651–APPROVED
The Proposed Alternative Route is Route 651 and Route 11.This Restriction Will Apply to
Commercial Vehicles Exceeding 30 Feet in Length.
Assistant Planning Director-Transportation John Bishop introducedthe Truck Restriction
Proposal. He said the section of Springdale Road in question is a rural secondary road with
narrow pavement
measuring approximately 20’ at the widest location. He said staff observed that the roadway is
narrower than that along most of its length, resulting in insufficient area for trucks and passenger
vehicles to pass without one or the other moving off of the roadway. Mr. Bishop added the
roadway is very winding and includes a railroad crossing that is on a significant elevation
change, and a reasonable alternative route exists in the form of Apple Valley Road to Shady Elm
Road with an additional alternative expected to be implemented in the form of the Renaissance
Drive Extension. Mr. Bishop concluded saying the Transportation Committee has considered
this item and recommendsapproval.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing. There were no speakers. Chairman
DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairman Lofton moved that the Board of Supervisors adopt the resolution
requesting that the Commonwealth Transportation Board, or its designee, consider restricting
thru truck traffic on Springdale Road (Route 649), from Route 11 to Shady Elm Road (Route
651).Supervisor Slaughter seconded the motion which carried as follows:

2018-2023 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN(CIP
)
The CIP is a Prioritized List of Capital Projects Requested by Various County Departments and
Agencies.The Plan is Created as an Informational Component of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan.
Assistant Planning Director Candice Perkins introduced the item. She said the CIP is a
document that provides project recommendations fromvarious County Agencies and tables that
outline the projects and costestimates for those projects, and shows projects for the ensuing five-
year period, as well aslong term projects (6 + years out).Ms. Perkins said the 2018-2023 CIP
follows the format that was recently adoptedwith the 2017-2022 CIP. She said the inclusion of
projects on the CIP is in no way an indication thatFrederick County will be funding projects.
She added that the CIP is strictly advisory; it is intended for use as a capitalfacilities planning
document, and not for requesting funding allocations.Ms. Perkins said once adopted, project
priorities and cost estimates may changethroughout the year based on changing circumstances
and itis alsopossible that particular projects may not be funded during the yearthat is indicated
in the CIP.She said this year’s CIP continues to reinforce the connection between theCIP, the

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Dr. David Sovine, Superintendent of Frederick County Public Schools, responded to the
earlier comments from the Board regarding the schools’ facilities and operations. He said his
budget requestfor FY 19 addresses many capital needs, and he highlighted someof the larger
needs. He reminded the Board that at the January 16 joint meeting,the high maintenance costs
at Aylor since 2011 were discussed. He said the Aylor building first appeared on the School
Board CIP in 2004. Dr. Sovine said that FCPS has a much lower ratio of maintenance personnel
to student population than the state average andwhile thestaff is talented, they havechallenges
with the limited budget.
Joy Kirk, Back Creek District, said the area is growing and the schools are becoming
overcrowded which causes wear and tear on the buildings. She said the County needs to be
funding the maintenance requests of the schools.
Brandi Hammond, Shawnee District, addressed Vice Chairman Lofton’s remarks about
ongoing school maintenance. She said in other localities buildings are updated and renovated,
but this can’t be done without adequate funding. She referred the Board members to the School
budget document titled Impact of Reduced Fundingand highlighted the item regarding costs
rising because of lack of preventive maintenance.
Carrie Carmichael, Shawnee District, reiterated the importance of school funding and
asked the Board to give the schools the funding they have requested.
Dana Newcomb, Gainesboro District, said the Board of Supervisors and tax payers have
the responsibility for providing funding to constructand maintain the school facilities. He said
the responsibilityforidentifying andexecuting the maintenanceof the school buildings belongs
to the School Board and administration. He said he was impressed with the School Board’s
16

ability to mobilize supporters of their cause to speak during the meeting, but their comments
show the schools’ inability to conduct routine building maintenance. He saidit was unethical to
reflect the maintenance responsibility back to the Board of Supervisors.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMMENTS
SupervisorDunn recognized the Deputy County Administrator Jay Tibbs and Assistant
FinanceDirectorSharon Kibler for their work in creating the Vehicle ReplacementProgram
Model.
Supervisor Dunn said he has visitedAylor and talked to the studentsand teachers.
Supervisor McCarthy commended the young members of the audience for doing their
civic duty by attending the meeting and sharing their views.
Supervisor Trout said the integrity of the School Board should not be questioned adding
that the School Board did not manipulate or plan the attendance of the parents and students at the
meeting.She thanked Ms. Hammond for her comments on maintenance adding that the Board
members should be good stewards of the tax payers’ money. Supervisor Trout said if funds for
maintenance are not provided, then the Board of Supervisors is the reason for the school
buildings failing.
By consensus, the Board agreed to a joint School Board-Board of Supervisorswork
session on March 28.

______________________________________________________________________________
The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, February 27, 2018, at 8:00 a.m. All members
were present.The following items were discussed:
Chairman McCarthy began the meeting with an acknowledgment of the great service of
committee member Dave Ganse who recently and suddenly passed away. Mr. Ganse had served on this
committee for four (4) years. A resolution honoringMr. Ganse and recently deceased committee member
James T. Wilson will be acknowledged atthe February 28, 2018 Board of Supervisors meeting.
***Items Requiring Action***
1.Adoption of the revised charter for the Shawneeland Sanitary District Advisor Committee:
At the request of Supervisor Lofton, Back Creek District Supervisor, staff was tasked with
reviewing and updating the Shawneeland Advisory Committee procedures and guidance
document that was most recently updated in 2005. Mr. Loftonfelt that an update to this
document could assist county staff in working with the Advisory Committee better and providing
more structure to the committee. Over the last coupleof years, there has been a decline in
receiving adequate committee meeting agendas, lack of reporting, poor communication with
advisory members and the fact that information wasn’t being reported out of the advisory
committee to county staff.
Recently, Supervisor Lofton, along with District Manager Kevin Alderman, Assistant County
Attorney Erin Swisshelm and myself met to review the older document and make edits and
updates to the procedure document. Through several edits, a proposed charter is being
recommended for consideration by the Board of Supervisors. The revised charter outlines a much
cleaner outline of how the Advisory Committee should function and how the advisory committee
will be a part of the Public Works Committee structure.
County Staff will provide additional direction to the advisory committee and will provide draft
agenda documents and ensure meeting minutes are reported to the Public Works Committee for
passage onto the Board of Supervisors. The charter also assists Frederick County to ensure the
advisory committee members are engaged and attend the quarterly advisory committee meetings.
Public Works CommitteeReport

March 22, 2018
After some additional discussions, it was recommended that the attached charter forthe
Shawneeland Sanitary District Advisory Committee be forwarded on to the Board of Supervisors
for consideration and approval. Supervisor Wells recommended approval of the motion and
Supervisor Lofton seconded the motion. The committee unanimously approved the motion.
(Attachment 1)
2.Adoption of the Proposed Vehicle Replacement Program:
Jay Tibbs, Deputy County Administrator led a discussion about a proposed vehicle replacement
program for vehicles owned by Frederick County.Inthe past, it has been difficult to know when
a vehicle should be replaced. Staff has developed a model input/points system to evaluate
vehicles and determine in a more systematic way when a vehicle should be replaced. Attached is
a summary of the current vehicles thatare proposed to be replaced in order to see how the model
works.
There was wide support from the committee about the proposed vehicle replacement model and
the committee endorsed the program. The committee recommended that the Vehicle
ReplacementProgram Model be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration
and approval. Supervisor Wells recommended approval of the motion and committee member
Gene Fisher seconded the motion. The committee unanimously approved the motion.
(Attachment 2)
3.Disposition of the old Frederick County Middle School:
Recently, the Frederick County School Board conveyed back to the Frederick County Board of
Supervisors the old Frederick County Middle School located at 441 Linden Drive withinthe City
ofWinchester, Virginia. It is the intent of Frederick County to attempt to sell the property and
the building. Tofully know all the issues related to the property and the building, Frederick
County engaged the services of Marsh & Legge Land Surveyors to perform a boundarysurvey,
as-built survey, a review of allutilities and easements, etc. Scot Marsh, L.S. discussed his
findings with the committee and provided a summary report and exhibit map that shows the entire
property and improvements.
The entiretract of land is 22.7960 acres with the building being two stories with 64,000 square
feet each floor. We discussed the status of all the utilities on the property and adjacent property
owners. In summary, the property is valuable and there have been several inquiriesfrom local
companies with a strong interest in purchasing the property.
Therefore, it is the committee’s recommendation that we place an advertisement to accept bids
for the purchase of the old Frederick County Middle School. We have provided a draft
advertisement that would be placed in the local papers to receive bids from companies. The
committee recommends that the Board of Supervisors allow staff to receive bids for the property
and buildings. It is noted that Frederick County has the right to reject any and all bids as so noted
in the advertisement. Committee member Whit Wagner recommended approval of the motion to
advertise for bid and Supervisor Wells seconded the motion. The committee unanimously
approved the motion.

***Items Not Requiring Action***
1.Update on the new Stephenson Convenience Site:
Mike Stewart, Senior Project Manager gave an updateon construction activities at the new
site. Wet soil conditions have slowed grading operations at the site, however, some progress
is being made. The lower parking area and slab have been graded to final elevations. All
topsoil has been removed and grading along the entrance road has been on-going. Placing a
new water main will begin this week and utility movements are on-going. We are
anticipating that the project will be completed on-time.
2.Update on use of the existing Clearbrook Convenience Site:
We reported to the committee that in further discussions with Carmeuse, they have extended
the date on use of theexisting site. Their concern is that they have to perform blasting
operations every day in close proximity to the existing site. They usually blast everyday
around 4:30 pm. Therefore, we have agreed to close the existing Clearbrook site at 4:00 pm
each day starting on March 19, 2018. This will allow them to blast each day and not create a
safety issue. The weekend hours will remain unchanged. By performing the early closing,
we will be able to operate our existing site till the end of May 2018. We should be able to
operate at the new Stephenson Convenience Site by then and cease operations at the
Clearbrooksite.
3.Update on Frederick County’s Glass Recycling Program:
Staff gave an update on the status of glass recycling for Frederick County. We gave the
committee a brief summary of why we stopped glass recycling in November 2016. Our only
option was to pay a very expensive tipping fee with no guaranteethat the material would be
recycled. Under this option, there still would be a possibility thatFrederick Countywould
have to pick up and haul the material to the landfill.
Since that time, staff have continued to look for markets to recycle glass but there is still no
viable market. Gloria Puffinburger, Solid Waste Manger has done additional research
looking at local glass recycling markets. She has discussed options with the Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ), the Glass Recycling Institute, Virginia Recycling Association
and Virginia Association of Counties (VACO). The attached memorandum from Ms.
Puffinburger describes her research along with charts describing the local market options and
what adjacent localities are doing.
In summary, there are no viable cost-effective options for the glass recycling program for
Frederick County. Due to our remote location, there are no glass processors in the region that
would allow our glass to be marketable. The committee took no additional action and we will
continue to not recycle glass at this time. We will continue to look for possible markets and
if something becomes available, we will inform the Board of Supervisors.

1.Revenue Sharing Agreement-Northern Y(see attached):
An agreement governing revenue sharing funds and match for the Tevis Extension from
the roundabout north and east to Route 522. The current project cost estimate is
$3,500,000.00. The state revenue sharing funds awarded $2,193,145.00. The exit clause
