CITIZENS COMMENTS
The speakers were as follows:
Michael Holly, representing the Clorox Company, discussed his company’s proposed cat
litter manufacturing facility. He noted an upcoming community meeting that will allow residents to
ask questions.
Rick Brown, Back Creek District, referenced a proposed low-cost housing project saying
such developments result in higher demand on 911 services and additionalchildren in the schools.
He urged the Board not to rezone industrial land for residential purposes.
Charlie Gardner, Stonewall District,said he opposes anything to do with the Clorox
company. He noted concerns about traffic, truck noise at night, dust and light concerns at the
current Carmeuse quarry and said new development at the site will ruin the community.
Chris Jenkins, Stonewall District, discussed safety concerns for the Clear Brook fire and
rescue personnel. He noted the Board’s earlier discussion about realigning Brucetown Road, I-81
improvements, and relocation of the fire house. He said the traffic congestion and intersection
problems should be addressed and said the Board could require Clorox to contribute to a new
building for the fire hall.
Brenda Fristoe, Stonewall District, said the Clorox facility is not the answer to transportation
problems. She referenced the 2035 Comprehensive Plan and asked the Board to follow that plan
and vote no on a proposed cat litter facility.
Richard Kennedy, Shawnee District resident and representative of the Top of Virginia
Chamber of Commerce, said both the local chamberand the state chamber are in support of the
Frederick County Board of Supervisors

Clorox proposal for a cat litter manufacturing facility.
Arthur Bragg, Stonewall District, said the Clorox community meeting is happening too late
in the process. He noted his petition submitted earlier and said Clorox needs to look elsewhere.
He noted noise and light concerns and invited the Board to visit and see the condition of Brucetown
Road.
Lora Jarrell, Opequon District, said there is a misconception that retirees are the only ones
on a fixed income. She said sacrifice is necessary for funding the public schools and asked the
Board to listen to all constituents and not only those with the same viewpointas their own.
Mark Georgiana, Stonewall District, noted the traffic concerns on Brucetown Road. He
said he was a former Carmeuse employee and noted an earlier proposal to change the quarry
entrance to Route 11 instead of Brucetown Road which could alleviate some traffic concerns.
Kenneth Burcham, Stonewall District, noted his concern about the Clorox proposal. He
asked where the funding for the roads would come from. He noted concerns about waste products
and water issues.
Greg McFarland, Stonewall District, said the citizens do not want the Clorox facility. He
noted concerns about traffic and the current waste pile at Carmeuse and said other problems will
arise if the cat litter facility is allowed to be built.
Lynelle McFarland, Stonewall District, said it was highly suspicious that a front-page article
on the Clorox proposal appeared in the Winchester Star this week. She said the residents chose
to live in a rural area rather than an industrial area. She questioned how gas lines on the subject
property were funded. She said decisions a long time ago allowed Carmeuse to damage the
communityand asked the Board to remember that all decisions will impact the residents.
Amanda Feaster, Shawnee District, spoke in favor of keeping the real estate tax rate at
$0.61per $100 of assessed value. She referenced school support staff needing salary increases
andthe need for School Resource Officers for each school building and said a tax increase should
be discussed to address funding shortages.
The Rev. Heidi David Young, Gainesboro District, quoted Martin Luther. She noted the
requested public safety positions that are not funded in the current budget, and said she is
concerned and frustrated that public safety and schools are not fully funded. She said the current
path is self-defeating and asked the Board to change course.
Mary Meredith, Stonewall District, asked the Board to vote against changing a rural piece
of land to an industrial use. She said the proposed project is not what Brucetown needs citing road
safety and traffic concerns.
Jennifer Hall, Shawnee District, spoke in favor of the Blackburn workforce housing project.
She said she is Director of Community Engagement at the United Way leading the Valley
Assistance Network and is also a member of the steering committee for the Northern Shenandoah
Valley Housing Coalition. She noted current entry level salaries andsaid the current affordable
housing crisis makes the proposed project necessary for the County.
Joseph Jablonski, Red Bud District, said he is the Volunteer Coordinator for the Valley
Assistance Network. He spoke in favor of the Blackburn workforce housing project.

Evan Wyatt of Greenway Engineering spoke in favor of the comprehensive plan
amendment that would allow the Blackburn workforce housing project to progress.He asked that
the request be forwarded to public hearing.
Shawn Graber, Back Creek District, asked the Board not to move forward with the current
budget proposal. He asked the Board to trim the budget so that the real estate tax rate would not
have to go up, saying that spending has gone up. He said he prefers that the Board slow down
andpay for projects as they are done.

ADOPTION OF FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020BUDGET AND APPROPRIATIONS AND SETTING
OF 2019TAX RATES –APPROVED
Supervisor Slaughter moved that that the Board adopt Budgetand Tax Rate Resolution
Option A. Supervisor Wells seconded the motion.
Supervisor Slaughter noted the proposed budget will fund a School Resource Officer in
each school.
Supervisor Trout said more funds are needed and she is disappointed that the Board was
not supportive of a tax increase. She said she would support the proposed tax rate and budget as
a step in the right direction.
Vice Chairman Lofton said he could not support the proposed budget resolution because
of the airplane tax rate and the lack of the requirement of categorical funding for the schools.
Supervisor Dunn discussed teacher salaries in Frederick County compared to surrounding
jurisdictions, his support of additional school buses, and the fire and rescue needs. He said he
supports exploring impact fees as an alternative to raising real estate taxes.
Supervisor McCarthy said he supports the budget dollar amounts but does not support the
resolution options as presented. Hesaid he would prefer a hybrid of the two options which would
incorporate a line item for categorically funding school maintenanceonly.
Supervisor Wells referenced Supervisor Trout’s previously noted concern about citizen
input coming earlier in the budget process. He said services cost money and the County cannot
continue to refuse to address critical needs, adding that nearby jurisdictions have higher taxes and
the residents are continuing to live there. He said the County cannot remain in the past.

Comprehensive Plan and a public hearing will allow the Board to learn more before deciding on the

housing is the highest and best use of the land.

residential development will have a financial impact on fire and rescue services and schools.

outof respect for the Supervisor in whose district the project is located, she would be in favor of the
matter going to public hearing.
Supervisor Trout said she is supportive of the workforce housing project and is in favor of
sending matter to public hearing.

Proposed Emergency Response Performance Guide
DATE: April 15, 2019
At the February 21, 2019 meeting of the Public Safety Committee, the committee discussed
a proposed Emergency Response Performance Guide, which would help establish response
time goals for emergency incidents within Frederick County. The Public Safety Committee
referred the guidelines to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation of approval.
It was noted that the proposed guide would be discussed at the Chiefs Working Group
meeting.
At the Board of Supervisors March 13, 2019 meeting, it was noted that the proposed guide
was discussed at the Chiefs Working Group, but the Board had not received an
endorsement of the proposal. The Board referred the proposed Emergency Response
Performance Guide back to the Chiefs Working Group for a recommendation.
At the March 21, 2019 meeting of the Chiefs Working Group, the proposed Emergency
Response Performance Guide was discussed and unanimously endorsed by the Chiefs
Working Group. (An excerpt of the minutes is attached to this memo.)
The proposed Emergency Response Performance Guide is back before the Board for action.

CHIEFS WORK GROUP MEETING
Minutes Excerpt March 21, 2019
Review of the Emergency Response Performance Guide. The guide was one of
o
the recommendations in the Study. It was presented at the Public Safety
Committee and recommended to the Board of Supervisors for endorsement.
CWG discussed it and reviewed the information at their February 2019 meeting.
It is strictly a goal for the system, there is no punitive action for not meeting the
goals, but it will give us a clear picture at hoincidents. The
information contained within the Guideline was pulled from the Fire and Rescue
Study, NFPA 1710, and NFPA 1720 and then combined to meet the needs of
st
Frederick County. The initial response time goal is for 1 due responses only,
st
the Effective Response Force time is for calls outside the 1 due and automatic /
mutual aid responses. We will be able to run a report monthly to compare
response times to see where improvements are needed. At the request of
County Administration, they would like an endorsement from the CWG before
presenting it for a final endorsement by the Board of Supervisors.
Chief Linaburg requested a motion to endorse the Response Guideline.
A motion was made by Chief Keeler, seconded by Chief Lauck.
The motion passed unanimously on voice vote to endorse the Response
Guideline.

Re: Amendment to Frederick County Code, Chapter 155 (Taxation), to add
An Article III-A (Exemption for Surviving Spouses of Certain Persons
Killed in the Line of Duty) Ability to Limit Scope of Eligibility for
Exemption
==============================================================================
The Finance Committee discussed this item at meetings on February 26 and March
20, 2019, and at the latter meeting, recommended that the Board hold a public hearing on
the topic.
In short, the proposedaddition to the County Code would provide an exemption
from real property taxes for surviving spouses of certain public safety personnel killed in
the line of duty, as such exemption ispermitted, but not required, under applicable state
law, Virginia Code Title 58.1, Chapter 32, Article 2.5. As authorized under state law, the
exemption would apply to the surviving spousesof sworn employees or members of,
essentially, any Virginia state or local agency engaged law enforcement, corrections,
firefighting, emergency medical services, civil defense (includiVirginia National
Guard), or emergency management.
Previously the proposed amendment was discussed at Code and Ordinance
Committee Meetings held on February 11, 2019, and June 28, 2018.
