The County of Frederick proposes to increase property tax levies.
------------------- I
A.
1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property, excluding additional
assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s
total assessed value of real property by 5.78 percent.
2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would
levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total
assessed value of real estatewith the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.577 per
$100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate”.
3. Effective Rate Increase: The County of Frederick proposes to adopt a tax rate of
$ 0.61 per $100 of assessed value. This difference between the lowered tax rate and the
proposed rate would be $0.033 per $100, or 5.78 percent. This difference will be known as the
“effective tax rate increase”. Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage
greater than or less than the above percentage.
4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real property tax rate and
changes in other revenues, the total budget of the County of Frederick will exceed last year’s
by 5.8 percent.

information on tax rate options and requested that the Board reduce the tax rate on aircraft weighing
under 20,000 pounds from $0.50 per $100 of assessed value to $0.01 per $100 of assessed value.
He and Winchester Regional Airport Authority Chairman Gene Fisher said the lower tax rate would
unburden the airport and assist in on-going marketing efforts, adding that the Authority’s goal is to be
financially self-supporting. The Board and Mr. Sabo discussed the proposal, and Mr. Sabo offered to
provide the Board with a recent economic study and funding models for similar Virginia airports that
are self-sufficient.
TOURISM BUDGET DISCUSSION

Office, provided information on current marketing efforts at the Visitors Center. He requested the

occupancy taxrate to assist with marketing efforts. He noted it would generate enough funding that
no General Fund monies would be needed to fund the Visitors Center/Tourism Office.

requested, salariesof teachers versus principals, duties of a parent liaison, necessity for bus aides,
the salary for an athletic trainer, the need for extending registration and scheduling services, asset
preservation versus routine maintenance, plans for scheduled routine maintenance, the current
status of Head Start, and plans to expand the Preschool Initiative.

those of a guidance counselor, the duties of an athletic trainer, plans for asset preservation, and
whether bus routes had been added because of the pre-school program. He noted his opposition

Frederick County Board of Supervisors-School Board
Joint Work Session Minutes *February 27,2019.
Supervisor Trout suggested improving the timing of the budget process.She noted that it
is late in the process for the Board of Supervisors to be receiving definite numbers from the School
Board. Mr. Tierney and Dr. Sovine explained the factors guiding each board’s budget calendar.
SupervisorDunn commented he supported the pharmacy technician instructor position.
He proposed the Board modify the current revenue split of 57%/43% and fund an account to be
used for the most urgent need from either budget.He said all parties need to work toward impact
fees for new development as well as revisions to the proffer law.
Dr. Sovine said with the current revenue split, the School Board has made significant cuts
in its budget requests and changing the split to reduce the school’s portion would cause greater
hardship.
Supervisor Trout suggested using fund balance to fund capital projects. Mr. Tierney said
the proposed capital fund of $7 million could be used to address such needs. Supervisor Slaughter
agreed there were funds available while keeping the rainy-day fund at 20%of operating expenses.
Supervisor McCarthy said he would like to see SROs in all schools and hopes the School
Board will adjust their budget using funds budgeted for SSOsto offset the additionalcost for SROs.
Vice Chairman Lofton said he did not like the comparison to Loudoun County because only
certain aspects are compared rather than all.
Dr. Lamanna noted the salary disparity between Frederick County teachers and those in
surrounding jurisdictions.

TO:

FROM:
John J. Bauserman, Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal, Life Safety Division
SUBJECT:
Proposed Expansion to the Frederick County Fire Prevention Code Fee
Schedule
DATE:
February 14, 2019
The Fire Marshal’s Office is seeking approval to expand the current fee schedule to
offset the cost of conducting inspections and permitting. In accordance with Section 27-
97 of the Code of Virginia, the Frederick County Board of Supervisors adopted the
Statewide Fire Prevention Code as the Frederick County Fire Prevention Code
(FCFPC) in June of 2012. This code allows the Frederick County Fire Marshal’s Office
to establish a life safety/fire prevention fee schedule.
Section 107.10 Local fees
Per the Frederick County Fire Prevention Code …fees may
be levied by the local governing body in order to defray the cost of enforcement and
appeals under the FCFPC.
The primary focus of inspections that the Fire Marshal’s Office currently conducts are
concentrated towards businesses that are required to have an annual fire inspection to
maintain compliance with state or federal agencies. Examples would be nursing
homes, daycares, and public/private schools.We also doinspections on large life
hazard occupancies, to include hotels, motels, and restaurants. While all these
inspections are important, there is a need to expand our inspection servicesto include
all
commercial businesses in Frederick Countypromoting the overallsafety to our
residents, visitorsand firefighters.
Please reference the attached documentfor a detailed informational breakdown of the
proposed process and associated fees.
NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
The County of Frederick proposes to increase property tax
levies.
1.Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real
property, excluding additional assessments due to new
construction or improvements to property, exceeds last
years total assessed value of real property by 5.78
percent.
2.Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment:
The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real
estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total
assessed value of real estate with the exclusions
mentioned above, would be $0.577 per $100 of assessed
value. This rate will be known as the lowered tax rate.

MENDMENT
Proposed language:
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC), at their October and November
2018 meetingsand their February 2019 meetingdiscussed the requested Carter Tract
Amendment(CPPA #02-18). This CPPA request removes comparableacres of land from the
SWSA from the existing zoned extractive manufacturing area to allow for the inclusion of 109
acres of land. In determining the scope of the request, the CPPC looked at the broader area
in determining if an area could best support a sewer and water service area expansion and
an industrial land use designation.The SWSA boundary adjustment enables industrial land
uses which could utilize public water and sewer, improve the transportation infrastructure in
support of increased vehicular traffic and provide economic opportunities.
The scope of the review considered the following:
Review of the broader area to identify areas most appropriate for a SWSA expansion
and industrial land use designation.
Distance to the existing SWSA boundary.
Proximity to the existing extractive manufacturing operation.
Access to and from the Brucetown Road area including the overall transportation
network including key intersections on Martinsburg Pike.
Revisions to the SWSA, including the removal of land from the existing SWSA to allow
for the addition of comparable acreage into the SWSA.
Avoidingconflict with the residential uses of the Brucetown Rural Community Center.
The SWSA should remain south of Slate Runwith a buffer along the Rural Community
Center. This enables the land use north of Slate Run to remain agricultural and buffer
future industrial uses from the residential uses in the Brucetown Rural Community
Center.
The study which resulted from the discussion of CPPA#02-18 ultimately recommended that
the following amendment be incorporated into the Northeast Land Use Plan:
The area southeastof Exit 321, Interstate 81, Hopewell Road, and south of Brucetown Road
is comprised mainly of extractive manufacturing, ruralresidential and agricultural land uses.
The area is also located adjacent to the identified Brucetown Rural Community Center. The
followingitems resulted from this study and should be addressed with any future development
proposals inthis area:
An industrial land use designation was identified as most appropriate for aSWSA
boundary adjustment.
A detailed traffic study will be necessary for any future industrialdevelopment all
identified transportation needs [shall / should]be provided by the proposed
development. Traffic improvements [shall / should] include butmay not be limited to:
Improvements to Brucetown Roadto current VDOT standards including sufficient
pavement structure and right-of-way width to support the industrial traffic;
improvements to Hopewell Road and Martinsburg Pike and the relocation of Brucetown
Road north of its current intersection with Hopewell Road.
Access to the acreage which is nowincluded in the SWSA[shall / should] be via the
existing quarry entrance onto Brucetown Road; no direct access to Brucetown Road
[shall / should] be considered.
Recognize that water and sewer capacity is limited in this area and therefore any future
industrial uses should recognize the capacity constraints and construct the
infrastructure necessary to serve the industrial uses water and sewer needs.
Encourage the use of rail to minimize the increase in truck traffic on the Martinsburg
Pike (Route 11 North) corridor and along and Hopewelland BrucetownRoads.
Protect the overall environmental quality of the community. Avoid industrial land uses
which would require major emitter air quality permit from the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality.
Minimize disturbance and crossing of drainage swales. An enhanced riparian buffer
should be provided adjacent to Slate Run to improve the buffer and promote best
environmental practices.
Provide buffering between industrial uses and the Rural Community Center which shall
meet or exceed existing zoning ordinance buffer and screening requirements to
adequately protect the residential uses in the Brucetown Rural Community Center.
Maximize distance buffers in combination with landscape buffers to provide adequate
screening. Building height limitations shall also be implemented to protect the
viewshed of the residential uses in the Brucetown Rural Community Center.
To avoid conflict with the residential uses in the Brucetown Rural Community Center,
the SWSAexpansion should remain south of Slate Run andprovide for a buffer along
the Rural Community Center. This enables the land north of Slate Run to remain
agricultural and buffer future industrial uses from the residential uses in the Rural
Community Center.
