8.B Frederick/Warren County Line –Property Issue---------------------------------------H
This is a request for the Board of Supervisors to consider a boundary adjustment
to the Warren/Frederick County lines in the Foster Hollow Road area. By way of
background, this apparent boundary dispute came up via the Virginia Department
of Elections relative to voting precinct lines around the State. The Department
wanted to ensure correct voting district classificationswith the area in question
affecting the Congressional districts because Warren County is in the 6th District
and Frederick County is in the 10th.
8.C Reduction/Offset of FrederickWater DebtObligation---------------------------------I
Frederick Water has contracted with Perry Engineering to construct the replacement
ball fields at Clearbrook Park and has worked with the County to get an approved
site plan for those ballfields. The County has identifiedcertain features that would
benefit the users of said fieldsincluding the use of LED lighting technologies within
the complex.Frederick Waterhas advisedthe cost of the features exceeds their
budget for this project.To accommodate the County’s desirefor the more efficient
lighting, as well as provide other additional improvements to the site, Frederick Water
has asked if the County would be willing to off-set the costs for those features by
forgiving Frederick Water’s existing debt obligation in theamount of $657,083.23.

ServiceArea (SWSA) and remove 109 acres from the SWSA. She said this amendment also seeks
to designate the 109 acres for industrial uses.She said the Planning Commission recommended
denial of thisamendment.
Vice Chairman Lofton clarified that the subject property is not within the Brucetown Rural
Community Area.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing.
Kay Dawson, Red Bud District, said recently disclosed information needs to be reviewed
before a decision is made.
Unknown resident of Brucetown Road discussed waivers for the kiln height at the
Carmeuse quarry and said the cat litter plant will cause additional pollution. He noted other
employers in the County which do not cause pollution.
Tina Bragg of Stephenson noted problems with the existing Carmeuse plant including
lights, noise, and dust, and said the roads can’t handle more traffic.
George Sempeles, Red Bud District, said industry pays the lion’s share of the budget and
failure to pass this amendment will cost the County $500,000 per year. He added that Clorox will
be a good neighbor.
Lindsey Wade, Stonewall District, said she searched for two years before purchasing her
home for a little over $200,000 in the Brucetown area. She said she was not expecting a plant
down the road and that it will damage property values.
Charles Brown, a 38-yearemployee of Clorox, cited the environmental and sustainability
record of Clorox, adding that Clorox will be a good neighbor. He noted that the Amherst, Virginia,
plant has received a 0 waste to landfill rating.
Susan Herbaugh, Stonewall District, said she is a direct neighbor of the subject property
and is concerned about the history of the area and does not want her home to lose value. She
asked the Board to vote no on the amendment.
Tom Macomber, Stonewall District, said the proposal contravenes the Comprehensive
Plan. He said there is no positive impact in the proposal to justify amending the Plan.
Tom Edens, of Brucetown, said he has beenconcerned for years about strip mining at
Clear Brook and is concerned about traffic, noise and air pollution from the proposed Clorox plant.
He noted that Clorox has offered $1,000,000 toward road repairs but has been given $5,000,000
by the state. He asked the Board to honor the Comprehensive Plan.
Doug Long of the Winchester & Western Railroad said the railroad is interested in reducing
the carbon footprint of the Clorox project by taking trucks off the road. He said the railroad will give
land to realign Brucetown Road.
Chris Jenkins, Chief of the Clear Brook Volunteer Fire Department, cited the dangers of
emergency vehicle accidents for EMS personnel. He discussed the road widths in the Brucetown
area compared to the vehicle widths. He invited Board members to serve a shift at the fire hall to
get a better idea of the danger of large EMS vehicles on narrow roads.
Stacy Sampson, Stonewall District, asked the Board to vote no on the plan amendment.

She said the County says it wants to maintain safe roadways but amending the comprehensive
plan will make it less safe. She said all residents will be at risk if more traffic is added.
Unnamed resident discussed the projected $500,000 revenue saying that employees from
out of state will pay taxes in their home states rather than in Frederick County. He noted the added
infrastructure costs and asked the Board to vote no.
Rick Warner, 28-year Clorox employee in Amherst, Virginia, notedthe company’s
partnerships sayingCloroxwill be a tremendous community partner.
Dave Rinehart asked the Board to vote against the comprehensive plan amendment
saying avote in favor will change Brucetown and Clear Brook forever. He said property values will
go down if big industry wins, and the current comprehensive planis the hero of the story by
providing protection against industrial overreach.
Victoria Hitchcock, Stonewall District, said she is a direct neighbor of the subject property
an understands change and progress. She cited current noise and light pollution fromthe
Carmeuse quarry adding that the roads are not built for industrial traffic.
Brian Nuri, Opequon District, notedthe environmental issues surroundingthe proposal.
He said theCounty needs businesses, but not the one currently proposed. He asked the Board to
keep the community smartly developed.
Cathy Whittier reminded the Board they are dealing with two global corporations that have
money and do not care about the residents. She said the Board must decide between the
corporations and the residents and asked the Board to direct Clorox to find land already zoned for
industrial use.
Michael Holly of the Clorox Company highlighted how the proposal would help achieve the
broadgoals of the comprehensive plan noting projected tax revenues. He said theproject will not
impact the community center, contains green initiatives, will not increase the sewer water service
area, will not discharge water into the ground, but will provide new jobs and balance the tax base.
He noted the company will minimize visibility of the complex by placing it in the interior of the
property, will improve site lines by planting trees, and will minimize noise onsite. He said Clorox
has a proven track record and the proposal meets the requirements of the comprehensiveplan.
He reminded the Board that the plan has been modified a few times in recent years.
Brenda Fristoe, Stonewall District, asked the Board to vote no because the proposal does
not conform to the comprehensive plan. She said the property in question is designed to be a buffer
between industrial activity and the Rural Community Center. She asked the Board to vote no and
to protect the residents and maintain the 2035 Comprehensive Plan.
Elmer Simsack, Stonewall District, referenced a small Oklahoma town that had strip-mining
and later became a superfund site. He said he is concerned about increased activity at the quarry
to serve the Clorox facility.
Arthur Bragg, Stonewall District, said the proposal does not conform the comprehensive
plan. He noted the historic area surrounding Brucetown and asked the Board to vote no on the
amendment.
Eric Federman, 19-year Clorox employee, noted the company’s outreach programs saying
Frederick County Board of Supervisors
Regular Meeting Minutes * May 22, 2019

the company hopes to bring similar outreach to Frederick County. He urged the Board tovote yes
on the amendment.
Vice Chairman Lofton read a letter of support for the proposal from John Riley, Vice Chair
of the Frederick County Economic Development Authority. He quoted: “The EDA is supportive of
this project. The EDA Board unanimously agrees that it is very important to show businesses, like
the Clorox Company, that Frederick County is a safe and easy place to do business. Frederick
County and Virginia are known for their positive business climate. Welcoming Clorox would only
further concrete Frederick County's position as a premier east coast location for manufacturing and
other businesses.”
Tim Stowe, engineer representative of the Applicant, said the comprehensiveplan is a
guide rather than legislation, and can be amended to seize opportunities. He said water is provided
for in the proposal and what is needed isthe sewer water service area location change and the
land use change. He said Clorox has modified language in response to concerns and he asked the
Board to accept the proposal.
Susan Howard, Stonewall District, noted noise in the community from the Carmeuse quarry
and asked the Board to consider the residents who live in the area of the proposed project. She
said no one would want to live next to the quarry as it is now, and that the County does not need
what the Applicant is promising.
Susan Watkins said there has been much growth in the area in five years and she
questioned how much planning there has been for infrastructure. She said the residents do not
want the Clorox plant and that there is a difference between Amherst County and Frederick County.
She asked the Board to vote no.
Tina Rinehart said she lives twomiles fromthe quarry and there is noise all night. She
noted trucks speeding and dangerous road conditions and asked the Board to vote no.
Brenda Fristoe, StonewallDistrict,continued her remarks saying she had met with the
Economic Development Authority and does not believe the dollar figures given to the Authority by
Clorox. She said the Authority should guide businesses to appropriate parcels of land.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Slaughter moved for denial of CCPA #02-19. Supervisor Wells seconded the
motion.
Vice Chairman Lofton said the comprehensive plan can be amended, adding that there
have been two amendments for land in and around the Brucetown and Clear Brook area. He said
the current vote is not to decide on a proposal by Clorox but rather a vote on the land use of a
particular parcel. He said a vote to amend the plan does not imply or guarantee that a proposal
brought forth by Clorox will be approved. He said the Carmeuse quarry has been in operation for
over 50 years, and if the amendment is denied, Carmeuse will continue to operatewith no proffers
forthcoming. In reference to how industry helps the whole county, he said that industry provides
tax revenuewithout demands on services,adding that the landowner of the parcel wishes to sell
and if this amendment is denied,the next optionwill be residential development on the site. He
concluded saying that residential growth does not increase revenue, noting that the Board recently

Regular Meeting Minutes * May 22, 2019

turned down another opportunity and he fears that real estate taxes will continue to increase to
raise revenue.
Supervisor McCarthy said he is not opposed to changing the comprehensive plan but the
ability to do road improvements needs to be addressed. He said he does not want the proposed
$500,000 in revenue to be canceled by the millions it will take to upgrade the roads. He continued
saying he learned recently that there are numerous other parcels either owned by Carmeuse or
which there is an option for purchase by Carmeuse. He said he also learned that Carmeuse has
only 15 to 30 years of material necessary, instead of 50 years as previously discussed, toserve
Clorox on its current location. He said Carmeuse would probably be returning to the Board for
futureamendmentsto gain access to the other propertieswhichit owns or on which it hasoptions
topurchase, and these opportunities will increase traffic as a conveyor will not be of use with the
distance to the additional parcels. He urged the Board to fully study the costs of transportation
before voting on the matter.
Supervisor Slaughter said the citizens have said all that is necessary. She said the Board
is looking at both Clorox and Carmeuse as they will be in partnership. She noted her concern
about the failing road network saying that it will take 30 years to recoup the $15 million necessary
to upgrade the roads in the ares of the proposal. She said she does not want future Boards to be
strong-armed toagree to re-zonings to supply the needs of the Clorox plant.
Supervisor Dunn said the sentiment in the room supportsthe reasoning of Supervisor
Slaughter. He said the possibility that the conveyor belt will not be a possibility means the traffic
issues and road costs are much more likely.
Vice Chairman Lofton said he cannot understand the reference to using tax revenue to pay
for county road improvements, noting that companies do not pay taxes to pay for roads. He said
all other taxes at the state level, such as the gasoline tax, are what fund transportation costs.
Supervisor McCarthy said all taxes are paid by the citizens and therefore road
improvements are paid by the citizens in one way or another.
Supervisor Dunn said Clorox has tried to minimize its impact and if the Board votes no on
the amendment, Carmeuse will still be operating in 50 years.
Supervisor Dunnmoved to delay the vote until the July meeting for Carmeuse to respond
with information about its sources of material. There was no second to the motion.
Supervisor Slaughter’s motion for denial of CPPA #02-19 carried on a roll call vote as

COMPREHENSIVE POLICY PLAN AMENDMENT (CPPA) #01-19 BLACKBURN PROPERTY
WORKFORCE HOUSING –URBAN DEVELOPMENT AREA (UDA) EXPANSION AND LAND
USE DESIGNATION CHANGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT #01-19 FOR BLACKBURN PROPERTY REQUEST -DENIED
Assistant Planning Director Perkins said this is a request to amend the Kernstown Area
Plan of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan to add 71.849 Acres to the UDAand also seeks to designate
the 71 acres for workforce housing. The Applicant is requesting the UDAexpansion and land use
designation change to allow for the development of workforce housingthat is intended to provide
affordable housing opportunities for residents of the community locatedwithin reasonable proximity
of workplaces in the community. Shesaid the Planning Commission sent this item forward tothe
Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for denial.
Avram Fechter of Equity Plus, the Applicant,explained the definition of workforce housing
as that for citizens earning 60% of the median income in the County. He said in Frederick County,
those with annual incomes of $35,000 to $50,000 would qualify for the housing. He noted the
proposal is for single family homes rather than apartments or attached units.
Supervisor Wells and the Applicant discussed the tax credit program used to finance the
program.
Supervisor Trout and the Applicant discussed the rules on rents and terms of leases.
Supervisor McCarthy and the Applicant discussed the wait list in relation to discrimination.
Vice Chairman Lofton,the Applicant, and Evan Wyatt, engineering consultant representing
the Applicant,discussed the location of the proposed project siteand its wetland characteristics.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing.
Kerri Ann Kite, Shawnee District,expressed her support for the workforce housing project.
John Wright, Red Bud Districtresident and President of the FrederickCounty Professional
Firefighters Association, said he supports the comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning for
the project saying housing costsare out of reach for many.
Heidi David Young, Gainesboro District, spoke in favor of the project and asked the Board
to use compassion and wisdom when voting on the issue.
Tamara Bayliss, Back Creek District, said she supports affordable housing, and this is a
wonderful opportunity to provide for those working in the service industry in the County. She said
the Planning Commission did not give compelling reasons for denying the project.
Mike Faison, Gainesboro District, read a letter of support for the project fromthe chairman
of the Frederick County NAACP. He said denying workforce housing in higher income districts is
akin to red-lining and suggested that the County could be inviting further scrutiny if the Board denies
the project.
John South, Back Creek District, said the need for workforce housing is real but the
proposed location does not meet the requirements of being close to services. He cited traffic
concerns.
Jennifer Hall, Shawnee Districtresidentand United Way Valley Assistance Network
employee, explained workforce housing and how it is different from government, Section 8, or low-

income housing. She urged the Board to vote for the amendment.
Brian Nuri, Opequon District, said property values are rising but incomes are not keeping
up. He said affordable housing makes areas more attractive to professional employers.
Matthew Motz, Back Creek District, said those opposing the proposal are being framed as
anti-poor and anti-police officer. He said the reality is the particular parcel of land is not suited for
the development. He cited road conditions which will lead to a tax burden in the future. He said
the class of person is not what will cause an increase in necessary services, but rather an increase
in the number ofpersonscauses an increase in the demand for services. He asked the Board not
to overturn the Planning Commission’s decisions.
Tom Maloney of Apple Valley Road said the roads are not currently ready for the proposed
project.
Tom Hindman, business partner of the Applicant, referenced letters of support from the
Frederick County Education Association, and Fellowship Bible Church, and cited employee
statistics form Valley Health.
Rick Brown, Back Creek District, commended the Board for maintaining the current tax
rate and said industry pays the bills. He said there is plenty of affordable housing in the area. He
said Apple Valley Road is not designed for traffic and asked the Board not to change the
comprehensive plan.
Darla McCreary, Back Creek District, said affordable housing is needed but the proposed
site is not appropriate. She said the project will not bring revenue to the County and will not result
in home ownership. She concluded saying the project is not harmonious with the surrounding area
and asked the Board to vote no.
Steven Pettler, representing the Applicant, said the proposal is not for low income or
subsidized housing. He said the comments have been addressing the impacts of the proposed
development, but the item for debate is a comprehensive plan amendment that would allow the
opportunity for the project to be explored. He noted a plan amendment is necessary for transferred
development rights to be used, and heconcluded saying it is unfair to the Applicant to have the
Board focusing on the impacts when the Applicant cannot discuss those until the rezoning process.
Bob Bolter, Opequon District, is involved with Faithworks Inc. He noted recent rent
increases have displaced many, and said it is essential to amend the comprehensiveplan. He said
the site is uniquely suited to the proposed development.
Tabitha Jablonski,Red Bud District, spoke in support of affordable housing saying she is
concerned about young families not being able to afford to live in the County.
Roy Sampson, Back Creek District,said there is a lot of available affordable housing and
the proposed site is not the place for the development. He said the roads need updating and the
proposal will hurt the values of other homes in the neighborhood.
Joseph Jablonski, Red Bud District resident and employee of Valley Assistance Network
said there are a few affordable unitsin the County,but they are grabbed so quickly they are really
not available.He said having the workforce housing option will actually increase the number of
homeowners in the area by allowing people to save for a down payment.

Steve Lobell, Back Creek District, said the area cannot support the type of housing
proposed. He said workforce housing is needed, but not in the currently proposed location.
Richard Kennedy, Shawnee District resident and representative of the Top of Virginia
Chamber of Commerce, encouraged the Board to vote for the plan amendment in order totake the
next step and analyze the project.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Because of the late hour, Chairman DeHaven polled the Board. By consensus, the Board
agreed to continue the meeting.
Vice Chairman Lofton moved for approval of CPPA # 01-19and Supervisor Trout
seconded the motion.
Supervisor Trout said she was appalled by some of the prejudicial remarks regarding the
people living in workforce housing. She asked the Board members to vote yes to allow further
discussion of the proposed project.
Vice Chairman Lofton said he was originally conflicted because industrialdevelopment is
his preference, but the proposed site has been for sale and is not conducive to industrial
development. He said he would like the opportunity to explore the impacts of the project to the
surrounding community, adding that workforce housingis needed.
Supervisor McCarthy said he would like to have the discussion on impactsbefore the plan
is changed, and hemoved to amend the main motion to delay the vote until the August meeting to
allow additional road impact data to be obtained. Supervisor Slaughter seconded the motion.
Vice Chairman Lofton said he is not in favor of a delay, and it appears the applicant is
being asked to go through the rezoning process now.
Supervisor McCarthy said he would like the transportation information before deciding on
a plan amendment.
Supervisor Dunn noted that if the plan amendment is made, but the project is not approved,
the land designation remains residential.
Supervisor Trout agreed with Vice Chairman Lofton, citing that theparcel has beencast
asideas not viable for industrial development.
Chairman DeHaven said he did not know why the Board would continuecomprehensive
planning if they were going to have rezoning discussions prior to consideration of the
comprehensive plan.

RE:Virginia Adopt-A-Highway
Dear Sgt. Steward:
As we close out another fiscal year, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the Community
InmateWorkforces contribution to the Virginia Adopt-a-Highway Program.
In partnership with Frederick County Clean Sweep, the Regional Detention Center adopted two roadways
(Sulpher Spring Road and Aylor Road) in 2017. According to the states records, from the adoption date in
January of 2017 until the close of March 2019, the CIWF had contributed 1,058 man hours collecting litter
along its two adopted roads. This is an in-kind contribution of $25,910,benefitting both the county and the
state litter control programs.These adoptions represent only a portion of the crews efforts during the year.
Altogether, Virginia AAH estimates that its 18,000 volunteers provide $1.35 million in cleanup services
each year to the state.This is money that is saved for other much-needed expenses outside of litter pickup.
Therefore, I would encourage the CIWF to renew these adoptions when they expire in 2020.
In closing, Itrust that the CIWF andjail staff are proud of thisoutstanding commitment toward a cleaner
and greener Frederick County.
Regards,
Gloria M. Puffinburger

Overview
Frederick County has been working with Tischler-Bise to develop a Capital Impacts
Study and Model designed to evaluate the anticipated need for capital facilities based on
growth and to determine the cost of those capital facilities to the County. Further, the
model determines the cost to the County for mitigating the infrastructure impacts
associated with re-zonings. This Capital Impact Study also assists in ensuring the

Report from 05/09/19 DIM-OC meeting.
The Development Impact Model - Oversight Committee (DIM-OC) met on Thursday,
May 9, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. to review of the Capital Impacts Study and updated
Development Impact Model.
At the DIM-OC meeting a presentation was made to DIM-OC by the consultant,
Tischler-Bise, thatcovered what the model does and does not analyze, and methodologies
and cost analysis of cash proffer-eligible categories. Details and screenshots were
provided of how the model will be used and the consultants went through an example of
input and resulting impact.
Following the presentation and informed discussion, DIM-OC moved to accept the
Capital Impacts Study and implement the use of the Capital Impacts Model, effective
July 1, 2019. This motion for approval was conditioned on an adjustment to the school

component of the model in order to reflect the use of school attendance zones for the
attributable impact of a project on a service area school. Based on the Committees
direction, the model has been amended to update the school scenarios by attendance zone
for each facility.
School capital impact service area adjustment.
In an effort to achieve a greater level of attribution of capital impacts to service areas, the
model evaluated more granular service areas for the Schools, and also Fire and Rescue,
capital impact analysis.
Several service area options were discussed with County Staff when determining the
service area for the School analysis. As noted in the report, a properly calibrated service
area is needed to accurately identify the local school utilization (enrollment compared to
capacity) at each of the three grade levels. More general and larger service areas (i.e.,
Countywide or Urban and Rural) would reflect utilization of the schools within that area
being analyzed. More detailed service areas (i.e., based on school attendance zones)
would result in the model analyzing only the utilization of the specific school that would
be directly affected by the development.
sed on the
General Service Areas (i.e., Urban and Rural) with the Elementary School analysis
splitting the Urban Service Area into North and South areas. This would provide some
flexibility as school boundaries are adjusted to address growth-related needs. After
review from the Frederick County Development Impact Model Oversight Committee
(DIM-OC), a consensus was reached that the service areas should be the school
attendance zones. Thus, when a development is being inputted into the Capital Impact
Model, the local school at each grade level is chosen. The model then analyzes just the
utilization of those schools. This adjustment is consistent with the consensus of the DIM-
OC.
Recommendation.
The Development Impact ModelOversight Committee forwarded a recommendation to
accept the Capital Impacts Study and implement the use of the Capital Impacts Model,
effective July 1, 2019.
This motion for approval was conditioned on an adjustment to the school component of
the model to reflect the use of school attendance zones for the attributable impact of a
project on a service area school. This adjustment has been incorporated into the study and
model.
Action from the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate at this time.
Tischler-Bise and County Staff will be available to provide a brief overview of how the
study and model is anticipated to be implemented by Frederick County.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview
TischlerBise has been retained by Frederick County, Virginia, to analyze the capital impacts of new
development. The objective is to quantify the capital costs generated by new development in the County,
specifically in light of changes to Cash Proffer law in Virginia. The assignm

TischlerBise evaluated capital impacts for the following categories of public capital improvements: (1)
Public Schools, (2) Parks and Recreation, (3) Public Safety: Sheriff, (4) Public Safety: Fire & Rescue, (5)
Public Safety: Animal Protection, (6) Library, (7) General Government, (8) Courts, and (9) Environmental
Services/Solid Waste. Methodologies and calculations are presented in this report as s
documentation for estimating capital impacts from new growth as well as potential support for cash
proffers.

CAPITALIMPACTSSTUDY
Frederick County, Virginia
Background on Cash Proffers
Cash proffers are one-time voluntary monetary commitments made at the time of rezoning
impact on certain public facilities from new residential development. The funds ultimately collected from
cash proffers are used to construct capital improvements to mitigate capital impacts with the goal of
maintaining levels of service. Funds can only be used for capital improvements that provide additional
capacity, not operations or maintenance. Cash proffer are calculated using level of service standards to
account for infrastructure that may currently have excess capaci
Cash proffers cannot be used to correct existing deficiencies. However, since cash proffers do not apply
t-
new growth can be mitigated through cash proffers. Cash proffers are a small part of an overall funding
strategy and should not be regarded as a total solution for infrastructure financing needs. Therefore, other
strategies and revenue sources are needed to offset the impact to infrastructure from new growth.
Cash proffers are authorized under Virginia Code §15.2-2303 and §15.2-2298. A major change to cash
proffer authority was enacted in 2016 affecting Section 15.2-2303.4(B) that added requirements to the
acceptance of cash proffers. The new section states that localities cannot require an unreasonable proffer
1
submit an unreasonable proffer.
The implementation of this change to the cash proffer law hingesunreasonable proffer, or
more positively, defining a reasonable proffer. Defining reasonable proffers requires the analysis of
existing capacity in public facilities as well as the demand for additional capacity from growth. This report
and the accompanying Capital Impacts Model address this requirement specifically for Frederick County
and provides a tool for ongoing implementation of the cash proffer law.
Furthermore, the changes to the cash proffer law restrict the infrastructure categories to public
transportation facilities, public safety facilities, public school facilities, and public parks and further
restricts the impacts that can be addressed to capacity improvem
projects.
Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303.4(B) was revised in 2019 from restricting a local governing body frommerely requesting or
1
accepting an unreasonable proffer, to restricting a local governing body from requiring an unreasonable proffer. This allows a
local governing body to discuss and negotiate with a developer t

Capital Impacts Approach
TischlerBise evaluated possible methodologies and documented appr
of land use for the infrastructure categories addressed in this study. The formula used to calculate each
capital impact is diagrammed in a flow chart at the beginning of each chapter. Specific capital costs have
been identified using local data and current dollars (2019). Because cash proffers reflect a point in time,
the calculations and study should be updated periodically (typiclect the direct
impact of new development on the need for new facilities and inf
or indirect impacts.
Capital impacts and resulting cash proffer amounts are calculated to recognize three key elements: need,
benefit, and proportionality.
First, to justify a cash proffer for public facilities, it must be demonstrated that new
development/rezonings will create a need for capital improvements (including an assessment of
existing capacity).
Second, new development/rezonings must derive a benefit from the payment of the cash proffers
(i.e., in the form of public facilities constructed within a rea
Third, the cash proffer to be paid by a particular type of development (land use) should not exceed
its proportional share of the capital cost for system improvements.
For each capital impact calculation, the report includes a summary table indicating the specific fa
used to derive the amounts.
The capital impacts outlined in this report reflect the actual cost to the County generated from new
residential and nonresidential development, and as such, each retrue capital impact
generated by type of land use for each public facility category.
The Capital Impacts Model developed for the County by TischlerBise is the tool to use to determine if a
r not. The Model provides a cash
proffer calculation for County staff to use in determining the reasonableness of a c
particular development project.

Methodologies
Any one of several legitimate methods may be used to calculate cash proffers. The choice of a particular
method depends primarily on the service characteristics and plan
being addressed. Each method has advantages and disadvantages in a particular sit
extent can be interchangeable, because each allocates facility costs in proportion to the needs created by
development.
Reduced to its simplest terms, the process of calculating cash proffers involves two main steps: (1)
determining the cost of development-related capital improvements and (2) allocating those costs
equitably to various types of development. In practice, though, cash proffers can
become quite complicated because of the many variables involved
development and the need for facilities. The following paragraphs discuss
calculating cash proffers and how those methods can be applied.
Plan-Based Calculation. The plan-based method allocates costs for a specified set of improvementsa
specified amount of development. The improvements are identified by a facility plan and development is
identified by a land use plan. In this method, the total cost offuture
demand to calculate a cost per unit of demand. Then, the cost per unit of demand is multiplied by the
amount of demand per unit of development (e.g., housing units or square feet of building area) in each
category to arrive at a cost per specific unit of development (e.g., single family detached unit).
Incremental Expansion Calculation. The incremental expansion method documents the current level of
service (LOS) for each type of public facility in both quantitatasures, based on an
existing service standard (such as square feet per student). This approach ensures that there are no
existing infrastructure deficiencies or surplus capacity in infrastructure. New development is only paying
its proportionate share for growth-related infrastructure. The level of service standards are determined
in a manner similar to the current replacement cost approach use
However, in contrast to insurance practices, the cash proffer revenues would not be for renewal and/or
replacement of existing facilities. Rather, revenue will be used to expand or provide additional facilities,
as needed, to accommodate new development. An incremental expans
public facilities that will be expanded in regular increments, wsed on current
conditions in the community.
Cost Recovery or Buy-In Calculation. The rationale for the cost recovery approach is that new develop
is paying its share of the useful life and remaining capacity ofalready built or land already
purchased from which new growth will benefit. This methodology is often used for oversized systems.
At the beginning of each capital facility chapter the chosen met

Generic Cash Proffer Calculation
In contrast to development exactions, which are typically referr-level improvements, cash
proffers fund growth-related infrastructure that will benefit multiple development pr
jurisdiction. The basic steps in a generic cash proffer formula are illustrate Figure 1.
The first step is to determine an appropriate demand indicator, the particular type of
infrastructure. The demand/service indicator measures the number
unit of development. For example, an appropriate indicator of th
enrollment and the increase in enrollment can be estimated from the average number of stud
housing unit. The second step in the generic formula is to determine infrastructure units per demand unit,
typically called level of service (LOS) standards. In keeping with the school example, a common LOS
standard is square feet per student. The third step in the generic formula is the cost of various
infrastructure units. To complete the school example, this part
per square foot for school construction.

Credits
A general requirement common to cash proffer methodologies is th credits. Two types of
credits should be considered, future revenue credits and site-specific credits. Future revenue credits are
necessary to avoid potential double payment situations arising from a one-time cash proffer payment plus
the payment of other revenues that may also fund the same growth-related capital improvements.
Future revenue credits are dependent upon the cash proffer methodology used in the cost The
incremental expansion methodology is best suited for public faci
in the future. Because new development will provide front-end funding of infrastructure, there is a
potential for double payment of capital costs due to future principal payments on existing debt for public
facilities. That is, because new development that may pay a cash proffer wil
for the same type of infrastructure, a credit is included in the to account for this.
(A credit is not necessary for interest payments if interest cost)
The second type of credit is a site-specific credit for system improvements that have been included in the
cash proffer calculations. A site-specific credit is handled during implementation and would reduce the
impact on the infrastructure needs covered in the cash proffer p Policies and procedures related
to site-specific credits for system improvements should be addressed in
Cash Proffer program. However, the general concept is that developers may be eligible for site-specific
credits or reimbursements only if they provide system improvements that have been included
proffer calculations. Project improvements normally required as part of the developm
process would not be eligible for credits against cash proffers.

Several service area options were discussed with County staff when determining the service area for the
School analysis. A properly calibrated service area is needed to accurately identify the local school
utilization (enrollment compared to capacity) at each of the thr
service areas (i.e., countywide or Urban and Rural) would reflect utilization of the schools within that area

For nonresidential land uses, the standard 50 percent adjustment is applied to Office, Indu
Institutional development types. A lower vehicle trip adjustment this type
of development attracts vehicles as they pass-by on arterial and collector roads. For example, when
someone stops at a convenience store on their way home from work

PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAPITAL IMPACTS
Public School capital impacts are determined using the incremental methodology and costs are allocated
100 percent to residential development. The methodology is based on the cost to provide future public
school capacity due to growth and is calculated using the current average Frederick County public school
student generation rates, Capital Improvement Plan (by type of unit), level
of service standards (capacity), and local costs.
The incremental methodology used to calculate the capital impacts is illustratedFigure 31. It is intended

School Capital Impact Service Areas
Several service area options were discussed with County staff. A properly calibrated service area is needed
to accurately identify the local school utilization (enrollment compared to capacity) at each of the three
grade levels. More general and larger service areas (i.e. countywide or Urban and Rural) would result in
utilization of the schools within that area being analyzed. While more detailed service areas (i.e. based on
school attendance zones) would result in the model analyzing only the utilization of the specific school
that would be directly affected by the development.

Credit for Future Debt Payments for School Improvements
Because the County has debt financed recent school construction projects and will be debt financing
future school construction, TischlerBise recommends including a credit for future principal payments.
Along with debt from previous projects, the County anticipates tings
Elementary School and the Aylor Middle School projects.
A credit is necessary since new residential units that may pay school cash proffers will also contribute to
future principal payments on school debt through property taxes.Credits are calculated on a per student
basis to reflect the proportionate share of debt service per development unit, which is based on demand
specific to the land use receiving the credit (i.e., for schools
to property value, which would shift the cash proffer approach away fro
tax.
The credit amount of $9,322 is subtracted from the gross capital cost per student to derive
cost per student for school facilities

Parks & Recreation Level of Service and Cost Factors
For all the Parks & Recreation components, except Indoor Recreation Facilities, capital impacts are
calculated based on current levels of service for existing parks and facilities. The analysis first establishes
a countywide level of service for each type of facility and then determines whether there is excess capacity
or a deficit in each park region for that type of park. Figure 49 lists the level of service and cost factors for
District Parks, Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Unpaved Trails, and Paved Trails.
Levels of services are calculated at a Service Area level for each type of park based on acreage totals. Level
of services are calculated at a Service Area level for each type. The
methodology is based on the assumption that the County will main
developing parks to serve new development. In some cases, there are not any facility types in a Service
Area (District Park and Paved Trails in the Rural Service). In t
applied.
The figure also lists the construction cost per unit of each facility. Most cost factors originate from the
calculate
the cost per capita. For example, in the Urban Service Area the
acres per 1,000 persons and the construction cost for an acre of
capital cost per person in the Urban Service Area for District Parks is $124.51.

Parks & Recreation Input Variables and Capital Impacts
Factors used to determine parks and recreation capital impacts are summarized in Figure 52. Capital
impacts for Parks & Recreation facilities are based on household size (i.e., persons per housing unit) and
are only determined for residential development.
The top portion of the figure summarizes cost factors per demand unit by type of facilit
there are seven components to the capital impact calculation:
District Park (determined by Service Area)
Community Park (determined by Service Area)
Neighborhood Park (determined by Service Area)
Unpaved Trails (determined by Service Area)
Paved Trails (determined by Service Area)
Community Center (determined by Service Area)
Indoor Recreation Facilities (determined Countywide)
Parks & Recreation capital impacts are the product of persons per housing unit multiplied by the total net
capital cost per person. An example of the calculation for a single family housing unit in the Urban Service
Area is: the net capital cost per person for the Countywide portion ($184.46) and the net capital cost per
person for the Service Area portion ($185.79) are multiplied by the persons per housing unit (2.62) and
then summed to arrive at the capital impact for this component for a single family unit of $970 (rounded).
Since the household sizes differ between Service Areas, the capital impact for
in the lower portion of Figure 52.
Please note: Costs are shown for infrastructure
share of the cost to provide the facilities. Despite capacity bein some Service Areas, there is

law, capacity triggers are required for cash proffer acceptance.capacity triggers are integrated into

Cost Allocation for Fire & Rescue Facilities
Proportionate share factors are used to allocate demand to resid
where appropriate. For facilities that serve both residential and nonresidential development and without
Fire & Rescue service call data, TischlerBise recommends using a proportionate share allocation based on
a functional population approach. The functional population approach estimates the residential and
nonresidential activity in the county by using the hours in a day. For the residents
their day is estimated to be split with 20 hours attributed to r
nonresidential purposes. For resident workers, 14 hours are attr to residential purposes and 10
hours to nonresidential purposes. For non-resident workers in the county, 10 hours are attributed to
nonresidential purposes in Frederick County.
Figure 59 provides detail on the approach and results, which indicate that
demand in Frederick County is from residential development and 2

Frederic shelter is 13,369 square feet and has a value of $2,507,000. This results in a
total cost of $187.52 per square foot. In Figure 71, floor area is attributed 100 percent to residential
development. To find the level of service, the floor area is div current population
(13,369 square feet / 86,702 residents = 0.15 square feet per person). This factor is multiplied by the
average cost per square foot to calculate the cost per person of $28.13.

Animal Protection Cash Proffer Eligibility
To be eligible for a cash proffer, the facility must be for Public Schools, Parks and Recreation, or Public
Safety (Sheriff, Fire, and Animal Services) and a development requires additional capacity in excess of
capacity available in current facilities. For Animal Protection, there are no facilities listed in the CIP that
would indicate a capacity increase is necessary to service future population, therefore, the capital impacts
found in Figure 72 are not included in the cash proffer calculation at this time.

To illustrate the Capital Impact Model (CapIM Model), the following figure provides the results from a
hypothetical development project of 100 single family housing units and 20,000 square feet of retail
development. The development is in the Urban Service Area, Evendale ES, Admlbrook HS
attendance zone, and the Millwood fire district. Results show projected growth and corresponding capital
impacts for cash proffer eligible infrastructure. The results also capture the capacity triggers included in
the model that reflect where excess capacity currently exists in County infrastructure. The figure is merely
provided to illustrate the results of a hypothetical development and do not reflect an actual development.
However, they do reflect a legally supportable and reasonable cash proffer amount for these hypothetical
developments.

APPENDIX B: CASH PROFFER BACKGROUND
Definition
A proffer is an offer by a landowner during the rezoning process
It is a form of conditional zoning, which applies additional conditions, or requirements, in addit
existing requirements and regulations. A proffer can include the acceptance of cash payments to mitigate
the impacts of a rezoning, called cash proffers, and are allowed under Virginia Code §15.2-2303 and §15.2-
2298. Frederick County meets the requirement under 15.2-2298 of a decennial growth rate of 5 percent
or more.2
Cash proffers are voluntary one-time payments used to fund capital improvements necessitated by new
growth. Cash proffers are akin to impact fees, which have been utilized by local governments in various
3
forms for at least fifty years. However, unlike impact fees, cash proffers only apply during the
-Cash proffers are not to be used to correct existing
deficiencies but to provide additional capacity to serve new groBecause cash proffers do not apply
to by-right development and only apply during the rezoning process, on
new growth can be mitigated with a cash proffer system. Cash proffers therefore have limitations for
infrastructure funding and should not be regarded as the total solution for capital improvement needs.
Rather, they should be considered one component of a comprehensi
provision of public facilities with the goal of maintaining curr of service in a community.
Limitations are:
Cash proffers only apply to rezonings and are not collected on any by-right development.
Cash proffers can only be used to finance capital infrastructure that provides additional capacity
and cannot be used to finance ongoing operations and/or maintenance and rehabilitation.
Virginia law restricts the infrastructure categories to public transportation facilities, public safety
4
facilities, public school facilities, and public parks.
Cash proffers cannot be
accounted for separately and earmarked for the capital expenses .
Cash proffers cannot be used to correct existing infrastructure deficiencies unegotiated
apart from the cash proffer system presented herein, or if there is a funding plan in place to
correct the deficiency for all current residents and businesses
However, 15.2-2298 provides authority to localities that meet the growth criteria in 15.2-2298 to utilize the conditional zoning
2
authority under 15.2-2303. This study meets the stricter requirements of 15.2-2298.
Other than Transportation Impact Fees, localities in the Commonwa are not authorized to implement impact
3
fees.

Because cash proffers reflect a point in time, the calculations hould be updated
periodically (typically 3 to 5 years). Costs reflect the direct
need for new facilities and infrastructure and do not reflect se
Approach
To ensure a reasonable relationship to new development and rezonings in particular, the cash proffer
study focuses on ,
Demonstrating an Impact. All new development in a community creates additional demands on
all, public facilities provided by local government. If the supply of facilities is not increased to satisfy that
additional demand, the quality or availability of public servicere community will deteriorate.
Cash proffers are calculated in a manner to determine what the applicable cost of development-related
facilities, to the extent that the need for facilities is a const that is subject to the
cash proffers. In this study, the impact of development on improvement needs isalyzed in terms of
quantifiable relationships between various types of development
based on applicable level-of-service standards.
Demonstrating a Benefit. A sufficient benefit relationship requires that cash proffer funds be segregated
from other funds and expended only for the categories for which the proffers were collected. Cash
proffers must be expended in a timely manner 5 and the facilities funded by the proffers must benefit the
development paying the proffers. However, this does not require that facilities funded with cash proffer
revenues be available exclusively to development paying the proffers. In other words, existing
development may use and benefit from these improvements as well.
Procedures for the earmarking and expenditure of revenues are outlined in Virginia Code (see specifically
§15.2303.2(B)). These requirements are intended to ensure that developments benefitcash
proffers paid. Thus, an adequate showing of benefit must address procedural as well as practical issues.
Demonstrating Proportionality. Proportionality is established through the procedures used to id
development-related facility costs, and in the methods used to calculate the cash proffers for various
types of facilities and categories of development. The demand for facilities is measured in terms of
relevant and measurable attributes of development. For example, school improvements is
measured by the number of public school-age children generated by development.
5 Virginia Code §15.2-2303.2(A) states: The governing body of any locality accepting cash payments volun
after July 1, 2005, shall, within twelve (12) years of receiving full payment of all cash proffered pursuant t
application, begin, or cause to begin (i) construction, (ii) sit-of-way acquisition, (v) surveying, or
(vi) utility relocation on the improvements for which the cash payments were proffered.

The above requirements are further reinforced in the Code of Vir§15.2-2303.4 (effective
January 9, 2019). Specifically, Section 15.2-2303.4(B) states that localities shall not require an
unreasonable proffer
failure or refusal to submit an unreasonable proffer.
The implementation of the proffer changes hinges on defining an unreasonable proffer, or more
positively, defining a reasonable proffer. The figure below provides further detail on the approach to meet
requirements of the law.

ballfields on their property in the Stephenson area. These ballfields are to be replacements for the current County
operated fields at Clearbrook Park. As you also know, Carmeuse, per the terms of our lease agreement
for the existing Clearbrook ballfields, has exercised their option to terminate that lease and has provided us with the
requisite notice. The County will be vacating the existing ballfields in November
Frederick Water has contracted with Perry Engineering to construsworked withthe
County to get an approved site plan for those ballfields. During the site plan and design conversations, the County
has identified certain features that would benefit the users of The largest of those features is the use of
LED lighting technologies within the complex, which would result in greater efficiencies and performance from an
energy perspective.
In conversation with Frederick Water, the cost of the featuresexceeds their budget for this project. In an effort to
accommodate the Countys desire for the more efficient lighting, as well as provide other additional improvements
to the site, Frederick Water has asked if the County would be willing to off-set the costs for those features by
forgiving Frederick Waters existing debt obligation in the amount of $657,083.23.
In exchange for the reduction in the debt obligation, the County would r

c.Installation of sod for all five fields so they will be playable by March 2020.
In addition, Frederick Water will give Frederick County an easement for its use of the ballfields with the intent to
transfer fee simple ownership to the County once the Opequon Water Treatment Plant is operational.
By way of background concerning the obligation, the Board of Supervisors loaned proceeds to the Frederick
County Sanitation Authority to facilitate the establishment of w
Abrams Creek drainage areas. The first loan occurred in April 1972 in the amount of $500,000 loaned over a period
of three fiscal years. The second loan occurred in December 1974. The total amount loaned for the project was
$1,106,500.00.
In 1987, the Board of Supervisors voted to defer payment of principal and interest on this loan to facilitate the
Sanitation Authoritys ability to float a revenue bond with the
of water and sewer facilities in the Bufflick Road area.This loan has been carried on both Frederick Waters and
Frederick Countys financial statements as a payable and receivable respectively.

DATE:

Overview
Frederick County has been working with Tischler-Bise to develop a Capital Impacts
Study and Model designed to evaluate the anticipated need for capital facilities based on
growth and to determine the cost of those capital facilities to the County. Further, the
model determines the cost to the County for mitigating the infrastructure impacts
associated with re-zonings. This Capital Impact Study also assists in ensuring the
Please find attached the Capital Impacts Study, Frederick County, Virginia. The
Executive Summary provides an overview of the study. This is supported by more
detailed information regarding the study and model.
Report from 05/09/19 DIM-OC meeting.
The Development Impact Model - Oversight Committee (DIM-OC) met on Thursday,
May 9, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. to review of the Capital Impacts Study and updated
Development Impact Model.
At the DIM-OC meeting a presentation was made to DIM-OC by the consultant,
Tischler-Bise, thatcovered what the model does and does not analyze, and methodologies
and cost analysis of cash proffer-eligible categories. Details and screenshots were
provided of how the model will be used and the consultants went through an example of
input and resulting impact.
Following the presentation and informed discussion, DIM-OC moved to accept the
Capital Impacts Study and implement the use of the Capital Impacts Model, effective
July 1, 2019. This motion for approval was conditioned on an adjustment to the school

component of the model in order to reflect the use of school attendance zones for the
attributable impact of a project on a service area school. Based on the Committees
direction, the model has been amended to update the school scenarios by attendance zone
for each facility.
School capital impact service area adjustment.
In an effort to achieve a greater level of attribution of capital impacts to service areas, the
model evaluated more granular service areas for the Schools, and also Fire and Rescue,
capital impact analysis.
Several service area options were discussed with County Staff when determining the
service area for the School analysis. As noted in the report, a properly calibrated service
area is needed to accurately identify the local school utilization (enrollment compared to
capacity) at each of the three grade levels. More general and larger service areas (i.e.,
Countywide or Urban and Rural) would reflect utilization of the schools within that area
being analyzed. More detailed service areas (i.e., based on school attendance zones)
would result in the model analyzing only the utilization of the specific school that would
be directly affected by the development.
sed on the
General Service Areas (i.e., Urban and Rural) with the Elementary School analysis
splitting the Urban Service Area into North and South areas. This would provide some
flexibility as school boundaries are adjusted to address growth-related needs. After
review from the Frederick County Development Impact Model Oversight Committee
(DIM-OC), a consensus was reached that the service areas should be the school
attendance zones. Thus, when a development is being inputted into the Capital Impact
Model, the local school at each grade level is chosen. The model then analyzes just the
utilization of those schools. This adjustment is consistent with the consensus of the DIM-
OC.
Recommendation.
The Development Impact ModelOversight Committee forwarded a recommendation to
accept the Capital Impacts Study and implement the use of the Capital Impacts Model,
effective July 1, 2019.
This motion for approval was conditioned on an adjustment to the school component of
the model to reflect the use of school attendance zones for the attributable impact of a
project on a service area school. This adjustment has been incorporated into the study and
model.
Action from the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate at this time.
Tischler-Bise and County Staff will be available to provide a brief overview of how the
study and model is anticipated to be implemented by Frederick County.

TischlerBise evaluated capital impacts for the following categories of public capital improvements: (1)
Public Schools, (2) Parks and Recreation, (3) Public Safety: Sheriff, (4) Public Safety: Fire & Rescue, (5)
Public Safety: Animal Protection, (6) Library, (7) General Government, (8) Courts, and (9) Environmental
Services/Solid Waste. Methodologies and calculations are presented in this report as s
documentation for estimating capital impacts from new growth as well as potential support for cash
proffers.

Background on Cash Proffers
Cash proffers are one-time voluntary monetary commitments made at the time of rezoning
impact on certain public facilities from new residential development. The funds ultimately collected from
cash proffers are used to construct capital improvements to mitigate capital impacts with the goal of
maintaining levels of service. Funds can only be used for capital improvements that provide additional
capacity, not operations or maintenance. Cash proffer are calculated using level of service standards to
account for infrastructure that may currently have excess capaci
Cash proffers cannot be used to correct existing deficiencies. However, since cash proffers do not apply
t-
new growth can be mitigated through cash proffers. Cash proffers are a small part of an overall funding
strategy and should not be regarded as a total solution for infrastructure financing needs. Therefore, other
strategies and revenue sources are needed to offset the impact to infrastructure from new growth.
Cash proffers are authorized under Virginia Code §15.2-2303 and §15.2-2298. A major change to cash
proffer authority was enacted in 2016 affecting Section 15.2-2303.4(B) that added requirements to the
acceptance of cash proffers. The new section states that localities cannot require an unreasonable proffer
1
submit an unreasonable proffer.
The implementation of this change to the cash proffer law hingesunreasonable proffer, or
more positively, defining a reasonable proffer. Defining reasonable proffers requires the analysis of
existing capacity in public facilities as well as the demand for additional capacity from growth. This report
and the accompanying Capital Impacts Model address this requirement specifically for Frederick County
and provides a tool for ongoing implementation of the cash proffer law.
Furthermore, the changes to the cash proffer law restrict the infrastructure categories to public
transportation facilities, public safety facilities, public school facilities, and public parks and further
restricts the impacts that can be addressed to capacity improvem
projects.
Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303.4(B) was revised in 2019 from restricting a local governing body frommerely requesting or

accepting an unreasonable proffer, to restricting a local governing body from requiring an unreasonable proffer. This allows a
local governing body to discuss and negotiate with a developer t

Capital Impacts Approach
TischlerBise evaluated possible methodologies and documented appr
of land use for the infrastructure categories addressed in this study. The formula used to calculate each
capital impact is diagrammed in a flow chart at the beginning of each chapter. Specific capital costs have
been identified using local data and current dollars (2019). Because cash proffers reflect a point in time,
the calculations and study should be updated periodically (typiclect the direct
impact of new development on the need for new facilities and inf
or indirect impacts.
Capital impacts and resulting cash proffer amounts are calculated to recognize three key elements: need,
benefit, and proportionality.
First, to justify a cash proffer for public facilities, it must be demonstrated that new
development/rezonings will create a need for capital improvements (including an assessment of
existing capacity).
Second, new development/rezonings must derive a benefit from the payment of the cash proffers
(i.e., in the form of public facilities constructed within a rea
Third, the cash proffer to be paid by a particular type of development (land use) should not exceed
its proportional share of the capital cost for system improvements.
For each capital impact calculation, the report includes a summary table indicating the specific fa
used to derive the amounts.
The capital impacts outlined in this report reflect the actual cost to the County generated from new
residential and nonresidential development, and as such, each retrue capital impact
generated by type of land use for each public facility category.
The Capital Impacts Model developed for the County by TischlerBise is the tool to use to determine if a
r not. The Model provides a cash
proffer calculation for County staff to use in determining the reasonableness of a c
particular development project.

Methodologies
Any one of several legitimate methods may be used to calculate cash proffers. The choice of a particular
method depends primarily on the service characteristics and plan
being addressed. Each method has advantages and disadvantages in a particular sit
extent can be interchangeable, because each allocates facility costs in proportion to the needs created by
development.
Reduced to its simplest terms, the process of calculating cash proffers involves two main steps: (1)
determining the cost of development-related capital improvements and (2) allocating those costs
equitably to various types of development. In practice, though, cash proffers can
become quite complicated because of the many variables involved
development and the need for facilities. The following paragraphs discuss
calculating cash proffers and how those methods can be applied.
Plan-Based Calculation. The plan-based method allocates costs for a specified set of improvementsa
specified amount of development. The improvements are identified by a facility plan and development is
identified by a land use plan. In this method, the total cost offuture
demand to calculate a cost per unit of demand. Then, the cost per unit of demand is multiplied by the
amount of demand per unit of development (e.g., housing units or square feet of building area) in each
category to arrive at a cost per specific unit of development (e.g., single family detached unit).
Incremental Expansion Calculation. The incremental expansion method documents the current level of
service (LOS) for each type of public facility in both quantitatasures, based on an
existing service standard (such as square feet per student). This approach ensures that there are no
existing infrastructure deficiencies or surplus capacity in infrastructure. New development is only paying
its proportionate share for growth-related infrastructure. The level of service standards are determined
in a manner similar to the current replacement cost approach use
However, in contrast to insurance practices, the cash proffer revenues would not be for renewal and/or
replacement of existing facilities. Rather, revenue will be used to expand or provide additional facilities,
as needed, to accommodate new development. An incremental expans
public facilities that will be expanded in regular increments, wsed on current
conditions in the community.
Cost Recovery or Buy-In Calculation. The rationale for the cost recovery approach is that new develop
is paying its share of the useful life and remaining capacity ofalready built or land already
purchased from which new growth will benefit. This methodology is often used for oversized systems.

Generic Cash Proffer Calculation
In contrast to development exactions, which are typically referr-level improvements, cash
proffers fund growth-related infrastructure that will benefit multiple development pr
jurisdiction. The basic steps in a generic cash proffer formula are illustrate Figure 1.
The first step is to determine an appropriate demand indicator, the particular type of
infrastructure. The demand/service indicator measures the number
unit of development. For example, an appropriate indicator of th
enrollment and the increase in enrollment can be estimated from the average number of stud
housing unit. The second step in the generic formula is to determine infrastructure units per demand unit,
typically called level of service (LOS) standards. In keeping with the school example, a common LOS
standard is square feet per student. The third step in the generic formula is the cost of various
infrastructure units. To complete the school example, this part
per square foot for school construction.

Credits
A general requirement common to cash proffer methodologies is th credits. Two types of
credits should be considered, future revenue credits and site-specific credits. Future revenue credits are
necessary to avoid potential double payment situations arising from a one-time cash proffer payment plus
the payment of other revenues that may also fund the same growth-related capital improvements.
Future revenue credits are dependent upon the cash proffer methodology used in the cost The
incremental expansion methodology is best suited for public faci
in the future. Because new development will provide front-end funding of infrastructure, there is a
potential for double payment of capital costs due to future principal payments on existing debt for public
facilities. That is, because new development that may pay a cash proffer wil
for the same type of infrastructure, a credit is included in the to account for this.
(A credit is not necessary for interest payments if interest cost)
The second type of credit is a site-specific credit for system improvements that have been included in the
cash proffer calculations. A site-specific credit is handled during implementation and would reduce the
impact on the infrastructure needs covered in the cash proffer p Policies and procedures related
to site-specific credits for system improvements should be addressed in
Cash Proffer program. However, the general concept is that developers may be eligible for site-specific
credits or reimbursements only if they provide system improvements that have been included
proffer calculations. Project improvements normally required as part of the developm
process would not be eligible for credits against cash proffers.

derive demand from housing types. (A household is a housing unit that is occupied by year-round
residents.) When persons per housing unit are used in the calculations, infr

Institutional development types. A lower vehicle trip adjustment this type
of development attracts vehicles as they pass-by on arterial and collector roads. For example, when

PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAPITAL IMPACTS
Public School capital impacts are determined using the incremental methodology and costs are allocated
100 percent to residential development. The methodology is based on the cost to provide future public
school capacity due to growth and is calculated using the current average Frederick County public school
student generation rates, Capital Improvement Plan (by type of unit), level
of service standards (capacity), and local costs.
The incremental methodology used to calculate the capital impacts is illustratedFigure 31. It is intended

School Capital Impact Service Areas
Several service area options were discussed with County staff. A properly calibrated service area is needed
to accurately identify the local school utilization (enrollment compared to capacity) at each of the three
grade levels. More general and larger service areas (i.e. countywide or Urban and Rural) would result in
utilization of the schools within that area being analyzed. While more detailed service areas (i.e. based on
school attendance zones) would result in the model analyzing only the utilization of the specific school

Credit for Future Debt Payments for School Improvements
Because the County has debt financed recent school construction projects and will be debt financing
future school construction, TischlerBise recommends including a credit for future principal payments.
Along with debt from previous projects, the County anticipates tings
Elementary School and the Aylor Middle School projects.
A credit is necessary since new residential units that may pay school cash proffers will also contribute to
future principal payments on school debt through property taxes.Credits are calculated on a per student
basis to reflect the proportionate share of debt service per development unit, which is based on demand
specific to the land use receiving the credit (i.e., for schools
to property value, which would shift the cash proffer approach away fro
tax.
The credit amount of $9,322 is subtracted from the gross capital cost per student to derive
cost per student for school facilities

Parks & Recreation Level of Service and Cost Factors
For all the Parks & Recreation components, except Indoor Recreation Facilities, capital impacts are
calculated based on current levels of service for existing parks and facilities. The analysis first establishes
a countywide level of service for each type of facility and then determines whether there is excess capacity
or a deficit in each park region for that type of park. Figure 49 lists the level of service and cost factors for
District Parks, Community Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Unpaved Trails, and Paved Trails.
Levels of services are calculated at a Service Area level for each type of park based on acreage totals. Level
of services are calculated at a Service Area level for each type. The
methodology is based on the assumption that the County will main
developing parks to serve new development. In some cases, there are not any facility types in a Service
Area (District Park and Paved Trails in the Rural Service). In t
applied.
The figure also lists the construction cost per unit of each facility. Most cost factors originate from the
calculate
the cost per capita. For example, in the Urban Service Area the
acres per 1,000 persons and the construction cost for an acre of
capital cost per person in the Urban Service Area for District Parks is $124.51.

Parks & Recreation Input Variables and Capital Impacts
Factors used to determine parks and recreation capital impacts are summarized in Figure 52. Capital
impacts for Parks & Recreation facilities are based on household size (i.e., persons per housing unit) and
are only determined for residential development.
The top portion of the figure summarizes cost factors per demand unit by type of facilit
there are seven components to the capital impact calculation:
District Park (determined by Service Area)
Community Park (determined by Service Area)
Neighborhood Park (determined by Service Area)
Unpaved Trails (determined by Service Area)
Paved Trails (determined by Service Area)
Community Center (determined by Service Area)
Indoor Recreation Facilities (determined Countywide)
Parks & Recreation capital impacts are the product of persons per housing unit multiplied by the total net
capital cost per person. An example of the calculation for a single family housing unit in the Urban Service
Area is: the net capital cost per person for the Countywide portion ($184.46) and the net capital cost per
person for the Service Area portion ($185.79) are multiplied by the persons per housing unit (2.62) and
then summed to arrive at the capital impact for this component for a single family unit of $970 (rounded).
Since the household sizes differ between Service Areas, the capital impact for

Please note: Costs are shown for infrastructure
share of the cost to provide the facilities. Despite capacity bein some Service Areas, there is

law, capacity triggers are required for cash proffer acceptance.capacity triggers are integrated into

Cost Allocation for Fire & Rescue Facilities
Proportionate share factors are used to allocate demand to resid
where appropriate. For facilities that serve both residential and nonresidential development and without
Fire & Rescue service call data, TischlerBise recommends using a proportionate share allocation based on
a functional population approach. The functional population approach estimates the residential and
nonresidential activity in the county by using the hours in a day. For the residents
their day is estimated to be split with 20 hours attributed to r
nonresidential purposes. For resident workers, 14 hours are attr to residential purposes and 10
hours to nonresidential purposes. For non-resident workers in the county, 10 hours are attributed to
nonresidential purposes in Frederick County.
Figure 59 provides detail on the approach and results, which indicate that

Animal Protection is the third subcategory under Public Safety capital impacts. Similar to the Sheriff facility
type, there were no Animal Protection facilities included in theFrederick Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). Therefore, the CapIM Model uses an incremental methodology to calculate the capital impact,
. Additionally, since there is no identified animal shelter

Animal Protection Facilities Inventory and Level of Service
Frederic shelter is 13,369 square feet and has a value of $2,507,000. This results in a
total cost of $187.52 per square foot. In Figure 71, floor area is attributed 100 percent to residential
development. To find the level of service, the floor area is div current population
(13,369 square feet / 86,702 residents = 0.15 square feet per person). This factor is multiplied by the
average cost per square foot to calculate the cost per person of $28.13.

Animal Protection Cash Proffer Eligibility
To be eligible for a cash proffer, the facility must be for Public Schools, Parks and Recreation, or Public
Safety (Sheriff, Fire, and Animal Services) and a development requires additional capacity in excess of
capacity available in current facilities. For Animal Protection, there are no facilities listed in the CIP that
would indicate a capacity increase is necessary to service future population, therefore, the capital impacts

Figure 88 diagrams the general methodology used to calculate environmental services capital impact.
Costs are allocated 100 percent to residential development. It is intended to read like an outline, with
lower levels providing a more detailed breakdown of the components. The capital impact is derived from
the product of persons per housing unit (by type of unit) multipt per person.
Frederick County provides convenience sites at a Service Area level and landfill centers at a Countywide
level.

Environmental Services Level of Service and Cost Factors
Shown in Figure 76, since 100 percent of environmental services is attributed to residential development,
the level of service is calculated by dividing the current acreage by the population. As a result, there are
0.10 acres per person for convenience sites and 0.06 acres per person for landfill cen. The average
cost for the planned convenience site project is applied to the level of service to calculate the capi
impact per person.

Environmental Services Input Variables and Capital Impacts
Factors used to determine environmental services capital impacts are summarized below. Capital impacts
for environmental services are based on household size (i.e., persons per housing unit) and are only
determined for residential development.
The top portion of the figure summarizes cost factors per demand. In this case,
there are two components in the capital impact calculation, Landfill Centers and Convenience Sites.
Environmental Services are provided on a countywide basis. Since the household sizes differ between
Service Areas, the capital impact for each Service Area is listed in the lower portion of Figure 92.

APPENDIX A: EXAMPLE OF DEVELOPMENT RESULTS
To illustrate the Capital Impact Model (CapIM Model), the following figure provides the results from a
hypothetical development project of 100 single family housing units and 20,000 square feet of retail
development. The development is in the Urban Service Area, Evendale ES, Admlbrook HS
attendance zone, and the Millwood fire district. Results show projected growth and corresponding capital
impacts for cash proffer eligible infrastructure. The results also capture the capacity triggers included in
the model that reflect where excess capacity currently exists in County infrastructure. The figure is merely
provided to illustrate the results of a hypothetical development and do not reflect an actual development.
However, they do reflect a legally supportable and reasonable cash proffer amount for these hypothetical
developments.

APPENDIX B: CASH PROFFER BACKGROUND
Definition
A proffer is an offer by a landowner during the rezoning process
It is a form of conditional zoning, which applies additional conditions, or requirements, in addit
existing requirements and regulations. A proffer can include the acceptance of cash payments to mitigate
the impacts of a rezoning, called cash proffers, and are allowed under Virginia Code §15.2-2303 and §15.2-
2298. Frederick County meets the requirement under 15.2-2298 of a decennial growth rate of 5 percent
or more.2
Cash proffers are voluntary one-time payments used to fund capital improvements necessitated by new
growth. Cash proffers are akin to impact fees, which have been utilized by local governments in various
3
forms for at least fifty years. However, unlike impact fees, cash proffers only apply during the
-Cash proffers are not to be used to correct existing
deficiencies but to provide additional capacity to serve new groBecause cash proffers do not apply
to by-right development and only apply during the rezoning process, on
new growth can be mitigated with a cash proffer system. Cash proffers therefore have limitations for
infrastructure funding and should not be regarded as the total solution for capital improvement needs.
Rather, they should be considered one component of a comprehensi
provision of public facilities with the goal of maintaining curr of service in a community.
Limitations are:
Cash proffers only apply to rezonings and are not collected on any by-right development.
Cash proffers can only be used to finance capital infrastructure that provides additional capacity
and cannot be used to finance ongoing operations and/or maintenance and rehabilitation.
Virginia law restricts the infrastructure categories to public transportation facilities, public safety
4
facilities, public school facilities, and public parks.
Cash proffers cannot be
accounted for separately and earmarked for the capital expenses .
Cash proffers cannot be used to correct existing infrastructure deficiencies unegotiated
apart from the cash proffer system presented herein, or if there is a funding plan in place to
correct the deficiency for all current residents and businesses
However, 15.2-2298 provides authority to localities that meet the growth criteria in 15.2-2298 to utilize the conditional zoning
2
authority under 15.2-2303. This study meets the stricter requirements of 15.2-2298.
Other than Transportation Impact Fees, localities in the Commonwa are not authorized to implement impact
3
fees.

Because cash proffers reflect a point in time, the calculations hould be updated
periodically (typically 3 to 5 years). Costs reflect the direct
need for new facilities and infrastructure and do not reflect se
Approach
To ensure a reasonable relationship to new development and rezonings in particular, the cash proffer
study focuses on ,
Demonstrating an Impact. All new development in a community creates additional demands on
all, public facilities provided by local government. If the supply of facilities is not increased to satisfy that
additional demand, the quality or availability of public servicere community will deteriorate.
Cash proffers are calculated in a manner to determine what the applicable cost of development-related
facilities, to the extent that the need for facilities is a const that is subject to the
cash proffers. In this study, the impact of development on improvement needs isalyzed in terms of
quantifiable relationships between various types of development
based on applicable level-of-service standards.
Demonstrating a Benefit. A sufficient benefit relationship requires that cash proffer funds be segregated
from other funds and expended only for the categories for which the proffers were collected. Cash
proffers must be expended in a timely manner 5 and the facilities funded by the proffers must benefit the
development paying the proffers. However, this does not require that facilities funded with cash proffer
revenues be available exclusively to development paying the proffers. In other words, existing
development may use and benefit from these improvements as well.
Procedures for the earmarking and expenditure of revenues are outlined in Virginia Code (see specifically
§15.2303.2(B)). These requirements are intended to ensure that developments benefitcash
proffers paid. Thus, an adequate showing of benefit must address procedural as well as practical issues.
Demonstrating Proportionality. Proportionality is established through the procedures used to id
development-related facility costs, and in the methods used to calculate the cash proffers for various
types of facilities and categories of development. The demand for facilities is measured in terms of
relevant and measurable attributes of development. For example, school improvements is
measured by the number of public school-age children generated by development.
5 Virginia Code §15.2-2303.2(A) states: The governing body of any locality accepting cash payments volun
after July 1, 2005, shall, within twelve (12) years of receiving full payment of all cash proffered pursuant t
application, begin, or cause to begin (i) construction, (ii) sit-of-way acquisition, (v) surveying, or
(vi) utility relocation on the improvements for which the cash payments were proffered.

The above requirements are further reinforced in the Code of Vir§15.2-2303.4 (effective
January 9, 2019). Specifically, Section 15.2-2303.4(B) states that localities shall not require an
unreasonable proffer
failure or refusal to submit an unreasonable proffer.
The implementation of the proffer changes hinges on defining an unreasonable proffer, or more
positively, defining a reasonable proffer. The figure below provides further detail on the approach to meet
requirements of the law.

Cash Proffer Implementation and Administration Considerations
While cash proffers are voluntary contributions, there are procemust followed per Virginia law
and to ensure payers receive benefit from the proffer.
Accounting
Monies received are placed in a separate fund and accounted for separately and expenditures should be
indicated in the capital improvement plan. Within twelve (12) ye
committed cash proffers, a locality must begin construction or r

must pay the amount to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for

Cost Updates
All costs in the cash proffer calculations are given in current
Necessary cost adjustments can be made as part of the recommendeluation and update of
the cash proffer using consumer price index (CPI) or Marshall an
recommends using the Marshall Swift, which is specific to constr
differences. The index can be applied against the calculated cash proffers. If cost estimates
change significantly, calculations should be revisited. As cash proffer calculations are based on a snapshot
in time, an adopted Cash Proffer policy should be periodically rviewed and updated. A full update is
recommended no later than 5 years to reflect changes in developm
costs, funding formulas, etc.
Credits and Reimbursements

SUBJECT: Renewal of Cable Franchise Agreement with Comcast
DATE: June 6, 2019
Comcast of California/Maryland/Pennsylvania/Virginia/West Virginia, LLC has an existing non-
exclusive cable franchise within the County, which was granted b-year period in 2009. This
franchise and its governing agreement were set to expire on April 1, 2019; however, the Board of Supervisors at its
March 13, 2019 meeting granted a short-term extension to the existing agreement until June 30, 2019.
Staff has negotiated the renewal terms for the proposed agreement that would grant Comcas
franchise to provide cable television service within Frederick CSome of the terms of
the proposed renewal include:
Decreased density requirement from the current density of 30 homes per linear mile t
mile. In addition, Comcast has agreed to conduct a feasibility sleast 20 homes per
square mile.
There is a new provision for homes that do not meet the density requirement necessary to get service.
Those homeowners would have to pay for the running of cable beyo
provision did not exist in our previous franchise agreement.
High Definition (HD) output for County channels following a three-year waiting period.
County channels will remain in the basic service tier
Consideration for relocation of Frederick County Governments and Frederick County Schools current
cable drop, should we or the schools relocate our facility during the franchise term. Frederick County would
pay the costs for any cable run to a relocated facility located over 200 feet from the main line.
In exchange for the above, the only material concession made is giving up the existing Fire and Rescuetraining
channel.

receives such payment, after which period any such payment shall be considered
15
final.. If an audit discloses an overpayment or underpayment of franchise fees, the
County shall notify the Franchisee of such overpayment or underpayment within
ninety(90) days of the date the audit was completed. The County, in its sole
discretion, shall determine the completion date for any audit conducted hereunder.
Audit completion is not to be unreasonably delayed by either party.
12.6.2Upon the completion of any such audit by the County, the County
shall provide to the Franchisee a final report setting forth the County’s findings in
detail, including any and all substantiating documentation. In the event of an
alleged underpayment, the Franchisee shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt
of the report to provide the Countywith a written response agreeing to or refuting
the results of the audit, including any substantiating documentation. Based on
these reports and responses, the parties shall agree upon a “Final Settlement
Amount.” For purposes of this Section, the term “Final Settlement Amount(s)”
shall mean the agreed upon underpaymentor overpayment, if any, to the County
by the Franchisee as a result of any such audit. If the parties cannot agree on a
“Final Settlement Amount,” the parties shall submit the dispute to a mutually
agreed upon mediator within sixty (60) days of reaching an impasse. In the event
an agreement is not reached at mediation, either party may bring an action to have
the disputed amount determined by a court of law.
12.6.3The Franchisee shall be responsible for providing to the County all
records necessary to confirm the accurate payment of franchise fees. The
Franchisee shall maintain such records for five (5) years. The County's audit
expenses shall be borne by the County unless the audit determines the payment to
the County should be increased by more than five percent (5%) in the audited
period, in which case the reasonable costs ofthe audit, up to tenthousand dollars
($10,000)shall be paid by the Franchisee to the County within thirty (30) days
from the date the parties agree upon the “Final Settlement Amount.”If
recomputation results in additional revenue to be paid by Franchisee tothe
County, such amount shall be subject to an interest charge of the Prime rate. If the
audit determines that there has been an overpayment by the Franchisee, the
Franchisee may credit any overpayment against its next quarterly payment. The
auditor shall not be compensated on a success based formula, e.g., payment based
on a percentage of any underpayment, if any.Once the parties agree upon a Final
Settlement Amount and such amount is paid by the Franchisee, the Countyshall
have no further rights to audit or challenge the payment for that period.
12.6.4The audit provisions set forth in this subsection shall similarly
apply to the PEG capital support payments specified in Section 6 of this
Franchise.
SECTION 13–Enforcement
16
13.1The Franchisee shall at all times during the term of this Franchise
Agreement maintain at its own expense a performance bondrunning to the County in the
amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). Such performance bondshall be
conditioned on the Franchisee's observation, fulfillment and performance of each term
and condition of this Agreement. In case of any breach of such condition, the amount of
the performance bondshall be available to the County as compensation for all damages
and costs, including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees and other reasonable expenses
of enforcement of litigation, whether direct or indirect, resulting from the failure of the
Franchisee to observe, fulfill and perform any provision of this Agreement. The scope of
such performance bondshall include, in addition to ascertainable damages and costs,
payment of any fines or penalties for non-performance, liquidated damages as provided
in Section 13.2, and compensation to the County for damage to County property or for
loss of revenue due to any failure of the Franchisee to observe, fulfill or perform any
provision of this Agreement. The Franchisee shall pay all premiums chargeable for such
performance bondand shall keep the same in forceand effect at all times that the
Franchisee operates its system within the Franchise Area. The performance bondshall
not be terminated or otherwise allowed to expire prior to thirty (30) days after written
notice to that effect is given to the County.The Countyshall give Franchisee twenty (20)
business days’ notice of its intent to draw anyamount owed from the performance bond.
If the Franchisee has filed a lawsuit or an appeal to the Board of Supervisors as to an
alleged default or amount owed, the County’s ability to draw on the bond related to the
facts and circumstances in dispute shall be stayed pending final resolutionof the dispute.
13.2Because the Franchisee's failure to comply with provisions of this
Franchise Agreement may result in injury to the County, and because it may be difficult
to quantify the extent of such injury, the County and the Franchisee agree that, subject to
the procedures in Section 13.5, liquidated damages may be assessable against the
Franchisee for certain material violations of provisions of this Franchise Agreement and
that such liquidated damages may be chargeable against the Franchisee's performance
bondin theevent of non-payment by the Franchisee. The Franchisee hereby agrees that
the liquidated damages specified herein are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty or
fine. The liquidated damages shall only apply from the date of notice being provided to
the Franchisee.The following amounts shall constitute liquidated damages for the
specified injuries:
13.2.1For failure to supply information, reports, or filings lawfully
required under this Franchise Agreement: $50 per day for each day theviolation
continues;
13.2.2For failure to comply with any provision of this Franchise
Agreement pertaining to customer service: $100 per day for each day the violation
continues;
13.2.3For failure to pay franchise fees when due: $50 per day for each
day the violation continues, in addition to the outstanding amount of the unpaid
franchise fees;
17
13.2.4For failure to comply with any requirement pertaining to support
for the provision of PEG access programming including, without limitation, the
provisions of Section 6: $100 per day for each day the violation continues.
13.3The Countymay reduce or waive any of the above-listed liquidated
damages if the Board determines that such waiver is in the best interests of the County.In
no event shall liquidated damages be assessed for a time period exceeding one hundred
and twenty (120) days per violation.Nothing in this subsection is intended to preclude
the County from exercising any other right or remedy, including but not limited to
commencingrevocation proceedings and/or initiatingaction in law or equity in a court of
competent jurisdiction,with respect to a breach that continues past the time the County
stops assessing liquidated damages for such breach.
13.4In the event the County believes that the Franchisee has not complied with
the material terms of the Franchise, it shall notify the Franchisee in writing with specific
details regarding the exact nature of the alleged non-compliance or default.The
Franchisee shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of theCounty’s written notice: (i)
to respond to the County, contesting the assertion of non-compliance or default; or (ii) to
cure such default; or (iii) in the event that, by nature of the default, such default cannot be
cured within the thirty(30) day period, initiate commercially reasonable steps to
diligently remedy such default and notify the Countyof the steps being taken and the
projected date that the cure will be completed.In the event the Franchisee fails to respond
to the County’s notice or in the event that the alleged default is not remedied within thirty
(30) days or the date projected by the Franchisee, the Countyshall schedule a public
hearing to investigate the default. Such public hearing shall be held at the next regularly
scheduled meeting of the Board of Supervisors that allows the County to comply with
advertising requirements for public hearings. In no event may such public hearing be
held less than ten (10) business days following Comcast’s failure to cure. The County
shall notify the Franchisee in advance, in writing of the time and place of such meeting
and provide the Franchisee with a reasonable opportunity to be heard.
13.5If after notice and opportunity to cure under Section 13.4, the County
concludes that the Franchisee is in default of any provision listed under Section 13.2,and
the County has suffered an injury, the County may assess liquidated damages in
accordance with Section 13.2. The County shall , by certified mail, provide a notice of
intention to assess liquidated damagesto Franchisee ten (10) days prior to assessment.
The notice shall set forth the basis of the assessment, and shall inform the Franchisee that
liquidated damages will be assessed from the date of the notice unless the assessment
notice is appealed for hearing before the Board of Supervisors and the Board rules (1)
that the violation has been corrected, or (2) that an extension of the time or other relief
should be granted, or (3) the Board of Supervisors disagrees with the findings of non-
compliance or default. If the Franchisee desires a hearing before the Board of
Supervisors, it shall send a written notice of appeal, by certified mail, to the County
Administrator within ten(10) days of the date on which the County sent the notice of
intention to assess liquidated damages. After the hearing, if the Board of Supervisors
18
sustains, in whole or in part, the assessment of liquidated damages, the County
Administrator may at any time thereafter draw upon the performance bondfor the
amount reviewed by the Board of Supervisors after providing the Franchisee thirty (30)
days to pay said amount. Unless the Board of Supervisors indicates to the contrary, said
liquidated damages shall be assessed beginning with the date on which the County sent
the notice of intention to assess liquidated damages and continuing thereafter until such
time as the violation ceases, as determined by the County.
13.6The amount of liquidated damages per annum shall not exceed fifteen
thousand dollars ($15,000) in the aggregate. With respect to liquidated damages assessed
herein, all similar violations or failures occurring at the same timeandfrom the same
factual events affecting multiple subscribers shall be assessed as a single violation, and a
violation or a failure may only be assessed under any one (1) of the above-referenced
categories.Nothing herein is intended to allow duplicative recovery from or duplicative
payments by Franchiseeor its surety(s).

County on account of any suit, judgment, execution, claim or demand whatsoever

as a Class 4 misdemeanor. The maximum penalty for a Class 4 misdemeanor is
fine.
