Joy Kirk, Back Creek District, made an appeal to the Board's fiscal responsibility saying
that it will be costlier if a smaller replacement Aylor Middle School is built and then added to
later. She urged the Board to build the larger school as originally requested by the School Board.
Katie Bochert, employee of Frederick County Public Schools, discussed growth as
explained on the yesfrederick.com website. She encouraged the Board to consider its connections
to the School Board and to work together with them for success.
Eva Stein, Opequon District, said she is a third grade student and spoke in favor of a
replacement Aylor School,
Bryan Nuri, Opequon District, used the analogy of buying clothes larger than needed to
allow for growth and advised building a larger Aylor replacement school. He said there is
tremendous growth in the County and the building will be needed, He noted the size in square
footage and student population of the Brambleton Middle School discussed in earlier meetings,
Shawn Graber, Back Creek District, discussed the recent school budget amendments and
the current County debt load. He suggested the School Board cut its budget in other places to
compensate for the new debt for the Aylor building. He suggested that a request for additional
funds be placed in the County real estate tax bills for the second half of the year so that the
residents who have offered to have their taxes raised can voluntarily pay more.
Amber Wallin, Opequon District, said she had spoken many times on the Aylor

replacement issue, She said much information has been requested and supplied and noted the
large amount of citizen support. She asked the Board to give the Aylor community what it has
requested.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMMENTS

COUNTY OFFICIALS:
AMENDMENT to the 2019 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET - APPROVED
Pursuant to Section 15.2-2507 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as Amended,
the Board of Supervisors will Hold a Public Hearing to Amend the Fiscal Year
2018-2019 Budget to Reflect: School Construction Fund Supplemental
Appropriation in the Amount of $45, 500, 000 for the Acquisition of Land, Design
and Construction of a Replacement Robert E. Aylor Middle School.
Supervisor Trout stated she wants to disclose for the record, relative to this item and
pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, that she is employed by
Frederick County Public Schools as a teacher and therefore is a member of a group who is or may
be affected by the item, and that she is able to participate in the transaction fairly, objectively, and
in the public interest.
Vice Chairman Lofton moved for approval of the Amendment to the FY 18-19 Budget for
School Construction Fund Supplemental Appropriation in the Amount of $45,500,000 for the
Acquisition of Land, Design and Construction of a Replacement Robert E. Aylor Middle School.
Supervisor Trout seconded the motion.
Supervisor McCarthy thanked the School Board and staff for their efforts in planning for
the replacement Aylor school. He noted that both Boards are trying to do the best for the County's
children.
Supervisor Wells thanked all who participated in the discussion. He noted his construction
background and said he knows that a bigger school is needed.
Vice Chairman Lofton said he made the motion because the School Board has said they
can build a 900-student capacity building for $45.5 million.
Supervisor Trout said the County is continuing to grow and she hopes that the larger
building can be built at this time.
Supervisor Dunn discussed the County's debt, how it might be paid, and whether the
School Board can find ways to cut costs or delay projects.
Chairman DeHaven said it would be wrong to build a building with a capacity of less than
900 students.
The motion approving the budget amendment carried on a roll call vote as follows:

Area (SWSA) and she highlighted the proffers. She said the Planning Commission recommended
approval of this rezoning at their July 19, 2018 meeting.
John Foote of Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh described the rezoning request including
the proffers. He noted the applicant has brought revenue to the County.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing.
Jack Drumheller, Stonewall District, said there has been tremendous change in traffic in
the County in the last 30 years resulting in many challenges. He said he is not opposed to the
rezoning but asked if it should happen before the new ramp is built which will allow a second
access to Stonewall Industrial Park.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Slaughter noted her concern about transportation challenges. She moved for
approval of Rezoning #01-18 for Stonewall IV. Supervisor McCarthy seconded the motion. He
noted his concern about agricultural land being rezoned for industrial use but added that this parcel
is in the appropriate place for such growth. The motion for approval of the rezoning carried on a

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — SHIPPING CONTAINERS — REFERRED BACK TO
PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF
This is a proposed amendment to Chapter 165 — Zoning Ordinance to restrict the use
of shipping containers (i.e. pre -fabricated, durable, steel shipping containers, also known
as inte►modal containers, cargo containers, freight containers, or iSO containers) as
accessory storage in certain zoning districts. Shipping containers are typically 8-feet (FT)
wide, 8-FT tall and 20-40-FT long. The current zoning ordinance does not specifically
address shipping containers, only where tractor trailers may be parked or stored.
Planner Tyler Klein provided background on the proposed amendment. The Board and
staff discussed the merits of the amendment and how it related to the various zoning designations
including residential, and also discussed its application in residential subdivisions. By consensus,
the item was sent back to the Planning Commission and staff for revision and review.
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — STORAGE FACILITIES. SELF SERVICE. IN RA
DISTRICT — NO ACTION
This is a proposed amendment to Chapter 165 — Zoning Ordinance to allow storage
facilities, self-service, in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District as a conditional use
(requiring an approved Conditional Use Permit — CUP). Currently, storage facilities,
self-service, are only allowed in the B2 (General Business), B3 (Industrial Transition),
M1 (Light industrial) and M2 (Industrial General) Zoning Districts.
Planner Tyler Klein provided background on the proposed amendment. The Board and
staff discussed the merits of the amendment and whether the Conditional Use permit is a better
mechanism than a rezoning for storage facilities. The Board considered holding a public hearing
and then by consensus chose not to act on the matter.

Supervisor Wells thanked all who participated in the recent Frederick County Fair adding
that it was a.great success despite all the rain.

checking the homes of vacationing residents.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMMENTS
Supervisor Dunn referenced the vote at the previous meeting on July 25, 2018, denying the
request for Rezoning #05-17 for O-N Minerals dba Carmeuse. He said he had misheard the
applicant's clarification about work hours. He said he had contacted the 19 residents directly
affected and 16 of those would prefer the new proffers, and he now wishes to change his vote.
Supervisor Dunn moved to rescind the vote taken on July 25 denying Rezoning #05-17, Vice
Chairman Lofton seconded the motion.
Mr. Tierney noted that County Attorney Williams has stated the need for a public hearing
on the matter before the Board takes action on the matter.
Supervisor McCarthy moved to amend the motion to rescind and set a public hearing for
the soonest possible meeting date should the applicant wish it to be reconsidered. Supervisor
Dunn seconded the motion which carried on a roll call vote as follows:

Alan Morrison, Gainesboro District, said the last two meetings have worried him. He said
the County continues to build houses without regard to infrastructure including schools, roads, and
fire and rescue. He said the County needs to slow down and get ahead of the growth. He said the
citizens have to use resources efficiently but he does not see the County government doing that.

ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION BY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
1-None
ITEMS FOR INFORMATION ONLY
1-Update on the new Stephenson Convenience Site
The new convenience site opened for public use on Monday, July 31, 2018. The contractor, Kee
Construction, is completing the final grading, seeding and stabilization of the site, construction of
the stormwater facility, placement of the fence and landscaping. All the site work should be
completed by the end of August. We should have final clean-up finished at the old Clearbrook
site by Friday, August 10, 2018.
2-pdate on the Frederick County Recycling Program and Contract
Gloria Puffinburger, Solid Waste Manager, updated the committee on the recycling program and
the hauling contract. The recycling program is still very successful, and we work very hard to
ensure we have good, viable markets. We discussed the current China ban on foreign recyclables
and how the United States is adjusting many of the markets to respond to the ban. Our local
recycler has many domestic markets, so we are in good shape for now.
We discussed that the reimbursement for the recycled paper markets have went away, Atone
time, Frederick County received reimbursements on recycled paper collections, but the market
return has diminished. However, we still have -a very robust recycling program and the waste
diversion is very important in managing our tonnage at the landfill. We will work on educating
the citizens and businesses to work harder on minimizing contamination of the collection units.
This will help our recycled items continue to find good recycling markets.
We are entering our fourth year of our waste collection contract with Allied Waste. The costs
have gone up due to allowed Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases and a small tipping fee
increase at the Landfill.
3-Update on the ongoing regional rainfall event affecting Frederick County
Over the past three (3) months, our region has experienced a higher than normal rainfall event,
Most areas have received 30-40 inches of rain since April 1, 2018. We have had impacts to many
of the citizens in the form of drainage complaints related to flooded basements, water ponding in
yards, major washouts of roads, driveways, etc. Staff have responded to over a hundred calls and
have done their best to assist when we can.
We have had a lot of road damage at Shawneeland and will be fixing culverts and roads over the
next few months. Due to the severity of the damage, a contractor, Perry Engineering Company,
Inc., has come in to assist with some of the major repairs while the staff works on road, ditch and
culvert repairs. We estimate that several hundred thousand dollars will be spent to repair the
roads.
As the costs come in forthe repairs, funds from the Shawneeland reserve will need to be
transferred to off -set these extra costs. We also informed the committee that we will need to
evaluate the current sanitary district fee structure during the budget process to ensure adequate
Minute Book 44
Board of Supervisors Meeting of W08118
County of Frederick, Virginia
0441
funding is available in the future. The current annual fees are $560 for improved lots and $190 for
unimproved lots.
We have also had many problems at the Regional Landfill due to the heavy rains. We have
experienced some significant leachate by-passes over the last couple of months which have
resulted in violations of our DEQ solid waste permit. Staff have been very transparent and
upfront with DEQ officials and continue to work on solutions and determine some future projects
that can help us handle the large rain events in the future. We are currently designing a large
leachate holding pond with a capacity of over 3,000,000 gallons. We anticipate the costs to build
this pond to be over two million dollars. Funding for these projects is available in the Landfill's
Reserve Fund balance.
We also need to upgrade the leachate force mains and do several other smaller projects to help
the Landfill better cope with future large rain events and assist in compliance with DEQ
regulations, We will continue to coordinate the design with the Landfill consultant, SCS Engineers
and DEQ.
There has also been an on -going issue with sludge that the Landfill is receiving from the Opequon
Wastewater Reclamation Facility (OWRF). They changed their process almost two (2) years ago
and their new process has sludge coming into the Landfill with high moisture and low solids. The
sludge has properties similar to jello. In working with the Frederick Winchester Service Authority
(FWSA) and OWRF staff, they have obtained another contract which allows them to haul the
sludge to a Landfill in Pennsylvania. Ultimately, they are seeking permission from Virginia DEQ to
obtain a land application permit to spread the sludge as a class A biosolids. They started shipping
the biosolids to Pennsylvania this week. The removal of most of the sludge from OWRF will really
improve our Landfill operations and help us in the future as we develop the landfill and strive to
comply with DEQ regulations.
4-Discuss a request from Wilde Acres/Mountain Falls Park to become a Sanitary District
Recently, Frederick County received a request from the Wilde Acres/Mountain Falls community to
become a sanitary district. There have been some recent changes to Virginia law that transfers
the responsibility regarding the creation of a sanitary district from the state to the Board of
Supervisors in localities.
The Board of Supervisors at their June 13, 2018 meeting sent a request to the Public Works
Committee to study and research creating a sanitary district. After some discussion occurred
during the Public Works Committee Meeting, the committee recommended that an ad hoc
subcommittee be formed to work with staff to determine the feasibility of forming a sanitary
district at Wilde Acres/Mountain Falls Park. The other task is to create a guidance document to
set up procedures for any future requests to create a sanitary district in Frederick County. A
motion regarding the creation of a subcommittee was made by citizen member Harvey "Ed"
Strawsnyder and the motion was seconded by Supervisor Wells. The committee unanimously
approved the motion. The following committee members volunteered to serve on the ad hoc
subcommittee:
Committee Chairman McCarthy
Supervisor Lofton
Committee Member Ed Strawsnyder
The subcommittee will look at general guidelines in creating a new sanitary district, review costs
to bring the roads up to certain minimum road standards, long term financing, estimated annual
fees, etc. Also, since this will require a lot of staff time, the subcommittee will determine how
much effort is reasonably expected of staff to determine the guidelines and proposed costs. It is
anticipated that the review by the ad hoc subcommittee could take 2-3 months before reporting
back to the Public Works Committee.
5-Discuss proposed carry forward requests from Solid Waste, Animal Shelter and Landfill
a. Solid Waste Budget 10-4203-000
Line item 10-4203-3004-01 Repair and Maintenance/Equipment. Request to carry
forward $19,500.00 for rehabilitation of the old compactor unit being removed from the
Clearbrook Convenience Center which will be used at a future site.
Minute Book 44
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 08/08/18
County of Frederick, Virginia
045
Line item 10-4203-3004-03 Repair and Maintenance/Building. Request to carry forward
$45,000.00 for site improvement -sat the Middletown Convenience Site. Work was
planned for FY 17/18 but was not completed.
Line item 10-4203-3010-00 Contractual Services. Request to carry forward $75,000.00 for
anticipated increased collection costs of the refuse collection and recycling program.
Line item 10-4203-9003-00 Lease/Rent Land. Request to carry forward $6,000.00 for
payment of the Greenwood Convenience Site lease from Greenwood Fire Hall.
The total for the four requests are $145,000.00. A motion was made by Supervisor
Wells to approve the request and was seconded by member Ed Strawsnyder. The
motion was unanimously approved by the committee to be sent to the Finance
Committee for further consideration.
b. Solid Waste Budget 10-4203-8900-00
We requested that all unspent funds left over from this line item be carried forward for
the completion of the Stephenson Convenience Center. Since we are at year end, we can
not determine an exact amount. A motion was made by Supervisor Wells and seconded
by Supervisor Lofton recommending the carry forward request. The committee
unanimously approved the motion to be sent to the Finance Committee for further
consideration.
c. Animal Shelter Budget 10-4305-000
Line item 10-4305-3001-00 Professional Health Services. Request to carry forward
$6,521.00 which is the unused portion of the spay/neuter funding. The funds were
appropriated from the Fleming donation for spaying and neutering shelter pets.
Line item 10-4305-3002-02 Professional Services Engineering and Design. Request to
carry forward $6,727.00 which is the unused portion of the new building design fund. The
funds were appropriated from the Loy donation for the design of the new shelter
building.
A motion was made by member Ed Strawsnyder and seconded by member Whit Wagner
recommending approval of the carry forward request. The motion was unanimously
approved by the committee to be sent to the Finance Committee forfurther action.
d. Landfill Budget 12-4204-000
Line item 12-4204-3004-04 Repair and Maintenance -Generators. Requestto carry
forward $80,000.00 to cover the remaining funds needed for maintenance of the 60,000-
hour genset generator. This maintenance includes replacing the engines and upgrading
the control systems,
Line item 12-4204-5408-03 Generator Spare Parts -Gas to Energy. Request to carry
forward $90,000.00 for chiller or blower replacements as needed. The gas treatment skid
has accumulated over 60,000 hours of operation and has begun to experience increased
breakdowns of blowers and gas chilling equipment.
Line item 12-4204-8006-00 Construction Vehicles and Equipment. Request to carry
forward $206,000.00 for a back up trash compactor. Currently, the Landfill owns two
Caterpillar 826k compactors. During times when either of those compactors are down
the current practice is to maintain a compactor at the MSW Landfill and either close down
the CDD Landfill or use a loader to pile the CDD waste up until both compactors are back
in service. Current trends of increased downtime due to electrical and electronics on the
equipment along with continued uptake in waste flow make it difficult to continue the
current practice and maintain adequate compaction of all waste.
Line item 12-4204-8900-00Improvements other Than. Request to carry forward
$3,330,000 for an additional leachate collection pond and blasting of MSW Cell3A. These

recommending approval of the carry forward requests. The motion was unanimously
approved by the committee to be sent to the Finance Committee for further
consideration.
