FILL SHAWNEE DISTRICT BOARD OF SUPERVISORS VACANCY - APPROVED
Supervisor McCarthy moved for approval of the resolution authorizing the filing of a
petition for writ of special election to fill the Shawnee District Board of Supervisors vacancy in light
of the recent resignation of Supervisor Shannon Trout who is moving out of the County. Supervisor

special election to fill such vacancies but with election timing requirements, the earliest possible

PROCEDURE FOR INTERIM APPOINTMENT OF SHAWNEE DISTRICT BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS MEMBER - APPROVED
County Administrator Tierney outlined Virginia Code requirements for filling a Board
vacancy as follows; The local governing body has a period of 45 days after an office becomes
vacant to appoint a new member to the governing body. In order for the governing body to exercise
this power, it must do so within the 45-day period, because the power to make the appointment
otherwise transfers to the Judges of the Circuit Court for the locality thereafter. Here, as the
vacancy takes effect on November 14, 2019, the 45-day period ends on December 28.
Mr. Tierney continued saying staff recommends the following process, used to fill
previous vacancies, for finding a candidate to fill the seat until a special election can be held to fill
the unexpired term:
- Placing an ad/notice in the Winchester Star, county website, and social media. Candidates
would complete an information data sheeVapplication for the interim appointment and
provide a letter of interest, resume, and any other information they believe would be
beneficial to the Board's deliberations.
- Applications would be received in the County Administrator's office.
- All applications received would be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors, as they are received.
- Board members may contact any applicants to discuss their interest in the position,
-The deadline for applicants to apply would be Monday, December 2, 2019 at 5:00 p.m.
-The Board could announce its selection at its December 11, 2019 meeting,
On motion of Supervisor Dunn, seconded by Vice Chairman Lofton, the Board approved
the staff recommended procedure for an interim appointment to the Board of Supervisors. The

2020 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA — APPROVED
Deputy County Attorney Jay Tibbs reviewed the proposed 2020 Legislative Agenda saying
staff sought input from department heads and members of the Board of Supervisors.
The Board and staff discussed the non -priority Item 14 - Time Limit to Complete Residential
House Construction — Frederick County supports legislation that would enable localities to enact
ordinances that would require a builder or developer of a residential house to complete the structure
within one year from the issuance of the building permit. The Board and staff discussed the
deadline for transmission of the Legislative Agenda to the state legislators being December 5 which
would not allow time for further study of Item 14. Supervisor McCarthy moved for approval of the
proposed Legislative Agenda with the removal of Item 14 - Time Limit to Complete Residential
House Construction. Vice Chairman Lofton seconded the motion which carried on a roll call vote

2020 LEGISLATIVE RgUATIVES
FREDERICKCOUNTY, VIRGMA
Reconsideration of Proffer Legislation — Frederick County encourages the General Assembly to
reconsider the provisions of SB 549, which enacted § 15.2-2303.4 as an amendment to the Code
of Virginia, so that localities might have the flexibility to better work with the development
community in order to address the increased demand for public facilities and services (e.g.
schools, roads, parks, and public safety services) caused by increased residential growth.
Localities should be allowed to factor in committed capacity when considering a residential
rezoning. At a minimum, the legislation needs to provide guidelines for localities to follow for
implementation, Further Frederick County supports consideration of legislation that would
enable the capturing of capital costs relative to development through development impact fees or
capital cost recovery.
2. Tax Exemptions — Frederick County supports reverting authority to the locality to continue
existing tax exemptions previously granted by the General Assembly, prior to January 1, 2003.
3. Local Taxing Authority —Frederick County desires legislation to provide local specific taxing
authority to increase taxes on meals and transient occupancy, without legislative imposition of
mandatory specific uses of the realized gain in revenue.
Minute Book 45
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of November 13, 2019
County or Frederick, Virginia
137
4. Equal Taxing Authority for Counties Eligible for City Status - Frederick County supports
legislation to provide equal taxing authority for Counties based on population density (i.e.
Counties that already have the population density to be eligible for city status should also be
recognized for needing additional taxing authority to address the impacts of urbanization and
higher density, as currently defined in the State Code).
Funding for Transportation Improvements — Frederick County supports increased funding for
local transportation improvements. Due to insufficient funding the SmartScale program is only
able to address a fraction of the many worthy projects that are applied for at each application
cycle. Many projects with demonstrated need are not funded and to make matters worse, in
many cases the projects that are funded, while addressing immediate needs, tend to be low cost
items that provide short-term relief rather than more costly projects that provide a long-term
solution. Additionally, these low-cost, immediate need projects are then not scheduled until the
end of the next six -year program. The concept of SmartScale scoring is a good one, however the
inadequate funding leads to many unaddressed needs and important items such as future growth
not being considered,
Frederick County supports more equitable SmartScale Policy. The current 3 step process is not
equitable to localities such as Frederick County. It should not be possible for projects in other
areas to be funded with lower scores than projects in localities such as ours for no other reason
than the way the policy is written. This goes against the purpose of SmartScale and must be
corrected.
6. Increase in Dollar Amount Above Which the Board Must Approve Tax Refunds: Frederick
County supports a change to VA Code §58.1-3981(A) to increase the dollar amount above which
the Board must approve tax refunds from $2,500 to $5,000. The existing dollar threshold has not
changed since 1995 (1995 Acts of Assembly c, 108). This proposed change could reduce by
over half the number of tax refunds that must go to the Frederick County Board of Supervisors,
7. Broadband-- Frederick County supports legislation that provides additional tools for counties to
finance, build, and operate open access networks in partnership with commercial internet service
providers. Further, Frederick County urges the Commonwealth to provide adequate financial
assistance to counties to build the necessary telecommunications infrastructure to deploy
universal affordable access to the internet for all areas, particularly in underserved and rural
areas.
8. Interstate 81 Ftmding— Frederick County supports legislation that requires all funding collected
under the Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Plan and Fund be used solely for capital
expenditures related to Interstate 81 improvements with an operational expenditures for this
program being funded from the state budget.
Other Positions:
Education Funding -- Frederick County calls upon the Governor and General Assembly to fully
fund the Virginia Standards of Quality as recommended by the Board of Education and the
Standards of Accreditation, Further, Frederick County supports the full reinstatement of the
COCA (Cost of Competing Adjustment) for teachers and support staff. In addition, Frederick
County supports the exclusive use of state lottery proceeds to fund public education. Further
Frederick County supports the development of a statewide school modernization plan supported
by adequate state funding.
Minute Book 45
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of November 13, 2019
County of Frederick, Virginia
2. Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension Agency 229 Funding — Frederick County supports funding
from the General Assembly for the Virginia Research and Extension Innovation Initiative for
Agency 229. Funding could add additional Agriculture and Natural Resources Agents in Clarke
and Page Counties, which have been vacant due to a lack of adequate state funding. In addition,
the proposal would provide for a market adjustment for Extension agents. This market
adjustment is critical to addressing staff turnover.
3. Funding for Fails —The state should fully fund any increased costs or operational issues faced by
local or regional jails when a change to the definition of state -responsible prisoner or other term
results in an increase.
4. Additional Resources for Department of Corrections — Frederick County encourages the General
Assembly to provide sufficient resources to the Department of Corrections in order that they
may comply with the Code of Virginia requirement that they take state responsible inmates
within 60 days of being notified by the courts,
5. Medicaid coverage for jail inmates. — Frederick County supports legislation to eliminate the
ineligibility of incarcerated inmates to receive Medicaid benefits. Currently state and federal
law requires that incarcerated individuals lose their full Medicaid coverage, instead receiving
limited coverage to include hospitalization only, while they are in jail. This negatively impacts
the locality's contribution to local or regional jail budgets, especially with the increasing
numbers of chronically and mentally ill inmates on the rise. This proposed change would also
allow state inmates to receive Medicaid benefits while incarcerated.
6. Machinery and Tools/BPOL Taxes — Frederick County opposes any efforts to restrict local
government revenue sources.
7. UnfimdedNiaudaies —Frederick County opposes the enactment of any new mandates on local
governments or school systems unless state appropriations are made to fully fund those
mandates.
8. RevisionlUpdate of Virginia's bitter and Recycling Fund — Frederick County supports increasing
fees above the historical $25/quarter for beer/wine/soft drink retailers, wholesalers, and
restaurants (a.k.a. those who generate litter). Grant funding from this program is allocated
based on road mileage and population. Because there is no enforcement mechanism for those
who elect not to pay the fee, the program is woefully underfunded. In Frederick County, this
program covers only the operational costs for a part-time litter crew supervisor and leaves the
county to fund additional costs such as supplies, vehicle, and outreach programs to deter litter.
9. Recycling— Frederick County supports collaboration with the State to find alternative uses for
glass and plastic recyclables and the use of biodegradable alternatives.
10. Mining Reclamation Plans — Frederick County supports legislation that require localities receive
formal notice of any reclamation plans and amendments to said plans submitted for mining
operations located within the respective locality in order that the locality might have the
opportunity to review and provide comments regarding any reclamation plan and amendment,
11. Tax Incentives for Land Conservation — Frederick County supports increasing the tax incentives
in order to encourage landowners to participate in land conservation programs.

12. Medicaid Expansion — Frederick County supports full reimbursement for the local share of the
additional administrative costs associated with Medicaid expansion.
13. Tractor Trailer and/or Tractor Trailer Gab Parking on Residential Streets — Frederick County
supports legislation to enable localities to restrict the parking of tractor trailers and/or tractor
trailer cabs on residential streets unless loading or unloading deliveries,

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE FREDERICK COUNTY CODE CHAPTER 165 ZONING
ARTICLES I II AND IV -CONDITIONAL USE IN THE RA RURAL AREAS ZONING DISTRICT -
APPROVED
Planning Director Mike Ruddy said the Board of Supervisors directed the Planning
Commission to evaluate the CUP process and those listed conditional uses to ensure that the uses,
and scale of the uses, are appropriate for the zoning district in which they are allowed. He added this
would include identifying those uses that may be more appropriate in a commercial zoning district; such
as larger service stations, motels, and larger retail stores. He said this is a proposed amendment to
Chapter 165 — Zoning Ordinance that will: further define the conditional use country general store to
exclude all fuel sales and cap the square footage allowed at 3,500 square feet (SF); provide additional
regulations for specific uses (country general store); eliminate, combine, and refine certain conditional
uses; and codify certain Zoning Determinations relating to home occupations, cottage occupations, and
kennels to reduce the number of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) applications. He concluded saying the
purpose of the proposed amendment is to add clarity to specific uses where intensity of a given use is
important in considering its appropriateness for a CUP; and to provide consistency in allowance and
implementation of certain uses.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing.
There were no speakers,
