2019 GENERAL ASSEMBLY LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
Mr. Tibbs explained the proposed 2019 legislative agenda, He outlined the top five
priorities and noted one Board member had requested an additional item seeking full
reimbursement for the costs associated with Medicaid expansion. He said staff is seeking
endorsement of the agenda prior to it being forwarded to the legislators.
Vice Chairman Lofton suggested separating the taxing authority question for Frederick
County specifically from that initiative statewide in order to highlight Frederick County's
individual request for legislation. The Board agreed by consensus.
On motion of Supervisor Slaughter, seconded by Vice Chairman Lofton, the amended
legislative agenda was adopted unanimously on a voice vote.
2019 LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES
FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA
Priority Items:
Reconsideration of SB 549 re Proffers — 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
community 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. Further
Frederick County supports consideration of legislation that would enable the capturing of capital
costs relative to development through development impact fees or capital cost recovery.
2. Tax Exemptions — Frederick County supports reverting authority to the locality to continue existing
tax exemptions previously granted by the General Assembly, prior to January 1, 2003.
3. Local Taxing Authority —Frederick County desires legislation to provide local specific taxing
authority to increase taxes on meals and transient occupancy, without legislative imposition of
mandatory specific uses of the realized gain in revenue.
4. 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
Minute Book 44
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 10/10/18
County of Frederick, Virginia
094
needing additional taxing authority to address the impacts of urbanization and higher density, as
currently defined in the State Code).
Funding for Transportation improvements — Frederick County supports increased funding for loc
transportation improvements. Frederick County supports increased funding for revenue sharing
projects and opposes decreased funding for this program. In addition to funding, Frederick Couu
seeks support from the General Assembly to assist in lobbying the U.S. Congress to resume long
range planning coupled with potential funding strategies for the Interstate 81 Corridor.
6. Education Funding — Frederick County calls upon the Governor and General Assembly to fully
fund the Virginia Standards of Quality as recommended by the Board of Education and the
Standards of Accreditation. Further, Frederick County supports the full reinstatement of the C(
(Cost of Competing Adjustment) for teachers and support staff. In addition, Frederick County
supports the exclusive use of state lottery proceeds to fund public education.
Other Positions:
1. Wireless Infrastructure Bill - Frederick County opposes any bill which limits local control over
review and regulation of wireless facilities and/or regulates the fees localities can charge for
applications for approval of wireless facilities.
2. 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.
3. Additional Resources for Department of Corrections — Frederick County encourages the General
Assembly to provide sufficient resources to the Department of Corrections in order that they may
comply with the Code of Virginia requirement that they take state responsible inmates within 60
days of being notified by the courts.
4. 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.
5. Machinery and ToolsBPOL Taxes — Frederick County opposes any efforts to restrict local
government revenue sources.
6. 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.
7. Tax Incentives for Land Conservation — Frederick County supports increasing the tax incentives in
order to encourage landowners to participate in land conservation programs.
8. Medicaid Expansion — Frederick County supports full reimbursement for the local share of the
additional administrative costs associated with Medicaid expansion.

Public Hearings
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 909-18 .FOR CARRIE MYERS AND MATTHEW
GAMBINO - APPROVED
Submitted for Establishment of a Special Event Facility in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District. The
Property is Located at 233 Burnt Factory Road Stephenson, Virginia and is Identified with
Property Identification Number 55-A-152 in the Stonewall Magisterial District.
Planner Klein explained the permit request. He said the Planning Commission has
recommended approval of the permit with certain revised conditions.
Supervisor Dunn asked for clarification on the CUP requirement for certain uses of the
property.
The Applicant, Carrie Myers explained the request for the CUP.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing. The speakers were as follows:
Norman Lamson, Stonewall District property owner, said his property adjoins the subject
property. He said the CUP will adversely affect his property with noise making it uninhabitable
for the neighbors. He said approving the permit will take away his ability to either develop or live
on his property.
Heather Miller, Stonewall District, said she strongly objects to the CUP. She said
approving the CUP will change the character of the surrounding neighborhood and affect safety on
Burnt Factory Road.
Ed Ward, Stonewall District, said he is opposed to the CUP and cited the width of Pine and
Burnt Factory Roads. He questioned why the applicants want to compete with Jordan Springs
Minute Book 44
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 1Oil 0/18
County of Frederick, Virginia
which is close to the subject property and offers the same service.
Dawn Baker, Stonewall District, said noise will be a problem if the CUP is approved. She
said safety will be an issue on Pine Road since internet direction services route drivers on that rom
to reach the subj ect property. She noted concern about the water table.
Cynthia Ward, Stonewall District, said the zoning change that allows events centers was
intended to address agri-tourism, but that weddings and birthday parties have nothing to do with
agri-tourism.
Michael Bolling, Stonewall District, said the subject property is in a special land use zone
and a commercial enterprise in the neighborhood is inconsistent with what the neighbors want.
Doug Rawlins, Stonewall District, said he is in favor of the CUP approval.
John Wood, Stonewall District, said he is in favor of the CUP. He said the neighborhood
already has noise and road safety issues. He added that with two services at Burnt Factory church
on Sunday, there is a lot of traffic during that time on Burnt Factory Road.
Brian Hinson, Stonewall District property owner, said he is in favor of the CUP. He said
there is already noise such as football games in the area.
Carol Vincent, Stonewall District, said that there is already noise and traffic in the
neighborhood. She said she was in favor of the CUP.
The applicant, Ms. Myers, noted the water table will not be adversely affected since the
plan is to use restroom trailers and off -site caterers. She noted if the property is developed, traffic
will be permanently increased rather than only during weekend festivals.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Slaughter moved for approval of CUP #09-18 with the condition that it expire
upon the transfer of ownership of the subject property. Supervisor Trout seconded the motion.
Supervisor McCarthy discussed whether there was another agricultural operation at the
subject property that could supplement the subject property remaining in agricultural.
Vice Chairman Lofton said there are 12 special events centers in the Back Creek District
and he has received no complaints about noise or traffic.
Supervisor Dunn noted concerns about traffic and the use not really being agricultural. He
said he was not in favor of an unlimited number of events.
Supervisor Trout said she was in favor of the CUP because she believes in property rights
and prefers this use to seeing the land developed for housing.
Supervisor McCarthy noted that approving a CUP does not prevent development.
The motion for approval of CUP # 09-18 with the added condition of expiration upon the
transfer of the property ownership passed on a roll call vote as follows:
