HIGHWAY MATTERS
Mr. James Hamrick, Resident Engineer, Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT), appeared to discuss highway matters of interest
to the Board of Supervisors and reported he did not have any new items
to discuss.
Mr. Wiggins discussed the poor drainage conditions and the gutters
in the York Point area that were being replaced by VDOT. He asked if
they were going to replace all of the gutters.
Mr. Hamrick indicated the gutters would be replaced, and VDOT
would do whatever needed to be done in order to fix the drainage
problems.
Mrs. Noll asked Mr. Hamrick to extend her thanks to Mr. Elliott
for accompanying her throughout the County to inspect areas in need of
repair.
Mr. Burgett reported there were a lot of potholes on Breezy Point
Drive and asked that VDOT look at the road. He also mentioned the
turning radius on that road had deteriorated, and he asked that it be
inspected.
Mr. Hamrick explained that VDOT had a long list of potholes as a
result of the snow and ice.
Miss Rapp discussed a list of requests she gave to Mr. Hamrick
earlier. She relayed her thanks to Mr. John Mazur and VDOT for
installing the proper signs in the Woodlake subdivision. She mentioned
that she would soon be meeting with the homeowners association
presidents in her district to discuss road needs, and she asked Mr.
Hamrick to keep her informed of work planned for her district. She then
noted she had received a letter from Woodlake Crossing stating the signs
had finally been installed, but the sign on Lakeland Crescent needs to
be realigned or repositioned.
Mr. Hamrick indicated the sign was addressed day before yesterday.
Miss Rapp asked for the status of Tinnette Drive.
Mr. Hamrick indicated the road is not in the VDOT system. The
drainage is a different situation, and VDOT is looking into it to see if
the drainage should be tied into VDOT's.
Miss Rapp spoke of the Olde Port Cove subdivision and the
citizens' requests for paving, and she asked when that might be done.
Mr. Hamrick replied that the paving schedule would start the
middle of April, and Olde Port Cove was one of the areas on the list.
Miss Rapp requested a copy of the paving schedule. She reported
that water was standing on both sides of Cary's Chapel Road, and she
stated a speed limit sign was down on the ground on Yorktown Road on the
right-hand side going toward Tabb High School.
Chairman Zaremba mentioned the condition of the turnaround area at
the end of Skimino Road near Camp Peary, and he asked what could be done
to improve it. He reported that the Transportation Safety Commission had
asked for a representative from VDOT to appear at its meetings.
Mr. Hamrick indicated a VDOT representative will attend the
Commission's meetings on a quarterly basis.
CITIZENS COMMENT PERIOD
Mrs. Pam Pouchot, 103 Kimberly Court, spoke on issues concerning
permits required by Section 17-57 of the York County Code. She explained
the permit she received prohibited her from handing out leaflets indoors
on County property, and she felt the ordinance did not specifically
prohibit the activity indoors. Mrs. Pouchot indicated she felt the
ordinance was being enforced selectively, and it should be rescinded or
amended as necessary to reflect those who are exempt from the
requirements.
Ms. Martha McCartney, 109 Quaker Meeting House Road, appeared
before the Board representing the Heritage Humane Society Board of
Directors, and asked for approval of its funding request that was
submitted to the County for FY01. She indicated that during 1999 a total
of 212 dogs and cats were brought to the facility from York County,
which represented 14.5 percent of the total number of animals brought to
the facility. She explained that Williamsburg and James City County each
contributed $20,000 to the Society, but it has received no funding from
York County since 1992 when the shelter was run by another organization.
The only funding the Peninsula SPCA receives from York County is for
pound services, and she stated the Society was willing to work with the
County's Animal Control if the State Veterinarian feels the facility is
certified for pound services.
Mr. Jack Sharkey, 106 Nelson District Road, voiced his concerns
about the Edgehill Subdivision stormwater and drainage problems. He
reported the residents have had major problems for over ten years, and
he explained the problems were from neighborhood culverts, roadways, and
driveways too small to accommodate drainage, as well as lack of state
maintenance. He requested that money be budgeted to solve Edgehill's
drainage problems.
Mr. Gil Granger, 302 Harrison Avenue, Williamsburg, asked the
Board to rescind its previous vote to condemn his property on Water
Street. He felt a parking deck would not be the best use for the
property; however, he offered to build one for the County if that was
what the Board really wanted. He stated he had no desire to sell his
property. He presented a sketch of the project he was considering for
the property, and he indicated his willingness to spend $2 to $2.5
million to accomplish the project.
Ms. Angie Thomas, 3400-A Preamble Lane, invited York County
residents to participate in a community cultural arts project in
partnership with the York County Public Library. She explained that
"Mermaids on Parade" was a celebration of the cultural arts
which would kick off the International Waterfront Arts Festival on April
27 - May 21, 2000. She has initiated a community effort in the County
where individuals can submit poetry which will decorate a 10-foot
mermaid in collage form and later be displayed at the York County
Library in Tabb. She stated the theme for poetry submissions was
"Famous People Who Have Inspired Me."
COUNTY ATTORNEY REPORTS AND REQUESTS
Mr. Barnett explained the County's position regarding Mrs.
Pouchot's concerns on permits. He stated the requirements for permits
for certain activities, including distribution of leaflets and other
materials, parades, and demonstrations, was adopted to give certain
local governments control over outdoor activity on public property.
Local governments have the right to regulate the use of public property
just as a private property owner has. The County can regulate as to
time, place, and use of a facility, and it can make sure there are no
incompatible uses of the property at one time. He stated the ordinance
was adopted primarily to regulate events, to let the County know in
advance of any large crowds expected, and to make staff aware of any
health or safety issues to consider and be prepared for. He further
stated if the request was for the property to be used in an
inappropriate way, the County could simply deny the request. Mr. Barnett
stated he did not feel the current ordinance needed any amendment, but
he would be happy to meet with the Board to further discuss the
ordinance if the Board wished. He then noted that the General Assembly
had concluded its session this year, and he soon would be providing the
Board members with a compendium of the legislation.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORTS AND REQUESTS
Mr. Stuck spoke of the scheduled work sessions for Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday on the proposed FY01 Budget, and he asked the
Board to schedule specific topics for a particular night so that
necessary individuals would be present to address the Board's questions.
He spoke on some of the issues they might consider discussing at the
sessions such as school allocations, compensation, and contributions,
and he asked for guidance as to the addition any other topics.
Chairman Zaremba asked that all agencies be notified of the
particular work session when their interests would be discussed. He
stated he would like to have contributions addressed on Tuesday night as
well as employee compensation. Mr. Zaremba indicated he might be out of
town on Wednesday.
Ms. Noll suggested they meet on Tuesday and Thursday and discuss
the school budget on Thursday.
Discussion followed, and the Board members agreed that the work
sessions would be scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday.
Mr. Stuck reviewed the topics to be covered, stating that
Tuesday's work session would be on employee compensation and
contributions, and Thursday's session would be school funding. He asked
the Board if they wished to have the School Board staff present.
After a brief discussion, it was agreed that since Dr. Staples and
Mr. Jarrett would probably be present, no other school staff would be
needed.
Mr. Stuck then noted that this past week one of York County's
firefighters who was off-duty at the time, Lt. Marty L. Tomasek, and an
off-duty James City County firefighter were recognized for rescuing an
elderly woman from her burning home in Williamsburg. Mr. Stuck also
spoke about the State's attitudes about local government, noting he had
made some previous remarks stating he felt some government issues should
be decided at the local level. He stated one of those issues involved
workers' compensation rights for firefighters and the police, and he
apologized for any of his remarks that may have unintentionally offended
some of those employees.
MATTERS PRESENTED BY THE BOARD
Ms. Noll reported she was happy to see so many people today at the
ribbon cutting ceremony at York Hall. She thanked the Beautification
Committee and VDOT for the daffodils that have been planted along Route
17 and other highways. She invited citizens to come to the Tabb Library
on April 1, 2000, to assist the master gardeners with planting a
learning garden to be called "Yorkscape."
Mr. Wiggins thanked the volunteers who worked on the Peninsula
Regional Neighborhood Conference. He mentioned there were 33 communities
honored including York Point, Brandywine, and Jacob's Springs in York
County. He discussed the decisions of the previous Board and stated he
felt those decisions needed to be honored. He further explained that the
citizens elected their respective supervisors who voted on County
issues, and the current Board had no intention of going back and
reversing the decisions that were made by the previous Board. He stated
it was possible legally, but ethically the Board should not change
previous decisions.
Mr. Burgett spoke on the Household Chemical Collection Program and
how easy York County has made it to get rid of household chemicals. He
stated it was a wonderful service to the citizens, and he complimented
employees at the landfill for doing a nice job. He asked the Board to
consider some real estate tax relief for senior citizens at a future
work session. He reiterated his pledge to do away with the decal tax,
and he asked that it be included as a topic for an upcoming work
session.
Chairman Zaremba stated a program was already in place that
targets senior citizens in an effort to ease their tax burden. He stated
they may want to review and discuss this program in the future,
including Mr. Burgett's suggestions.
Mrs. Noll indicated her agreement, stating the subject hasn't been
revisited for a while, and perhaps the minimum income amount needs some
adjustment.
Chairman Zaremba elaborated on the ribbon cutting ceremony and the
program performed by the Fife & Drum Corps and the Fire Department.
He stated the Board would have work sessions on Tuesday and Thursday on
the proposed FY 2001 Budget, and he invited citizens to come to the
sessions. He encouraged citizens to read Citizen News and the Citizens
Guide to York County Government which contains very informative articles
on County government and its operations. The Guide contains information
on all County offices and the phone numbers to contact for County
services or information He then mentioned last year's snow storm and the
discussion on the feasibility of purchasing snow removal equipment, and
he noted Citizen News included a good article on the responsibilities
for snow removal. Mr. Zaremba then noted that the last year had been
spent renovating York Hall, and that all the County's boards and
committees could use the rooms in the building for their meetings. He
also stated there is a series of rooms in the basement as well as the
large open space on the first floor that will be allocated to citizen
committees and organizations, and he asked those individuals who have an
interest in utilizing space in York Hall to let the Board know because
it will be considering space allocations for the building very soon.

NEW BUSINESS
GREATER PENINSULA WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Stuck explained that the purpose of proposed Resolution R00-3
was to approve an intergovernmental agreement between the political
subdivisions of the Greater Peninsula Workforce Investment Area and that
the effort was being coordinated by the Peninsula Alliance for Economic
Development and the Peninsula Mayors and Chairs to improve workforce
training efforts on the Peninsula. He indicated that Mrs. Smith was
present to answer any questions the Board might have.
Mr. Burgett asked about the language in Paragraph 9 of the
contract regarding recommendations for nominees.
Mrs. Smith explained that York County was a member of the
Peninsula Alliance for Economic Development (PAED), and it has contacted
the economic development entities in the area which are putting together
a set of nominations for consideration. The PAED Executive Director,
Rick Weigel, has been in contact with Jim Noel.
Mr. Burgett asked if they will be appointing members of the
Alliance.
Mrs. Anne Smith, Director of Community Services, indicated they
would not, that the Alliance is just the conduit for gathering a list of
viable candidates for appointment.
Mr. Stuck explained that the recommendations would be coming from
the Alliance. He stated this process was part of a great deal of
discussion on making sure that the private sector had a strong voice in
workforce development, and having the Alliance gather the nominations
was felt to be the best way to insure that all business needs were met.
He stated the appointments will be made by the Consortium.
Miss Rapp asked if the need for a good mix of business types was
being considered.
Mrs. Smith stated an effort to achieve diversity in function and
geography was hopefully a part of the plan. There will be about 50
members, and there is an effort to get education involved as well as
community-based organizations. She then explained the consortium that
was being established by the agreement.
Chairman Zaremba expressed his concern that another bureaucracy
was being created.
Mrs. Smith stated the effort was to avoid just that and try to
pull all the fragmented pieces together under a single umbrella. The
PAED is a key player because it is the voice of the business community
and knows what is needed to provide an educated workforce on the
Peninsula. She stated the key is to try to pull it all together into a
cohesive system.
Chairman Zaremba asked if a paid director position would result
from the agreement.
Mrs. Smith indicated it would not, that current staff will be paid
out of federal funds. The agreement continues the current staff
oversight of federal job training programs. There are no plans to hire
more staff.
Chairman Zaremba indicated the voting weight goes mostly to
Hampton and Newport News with two votes, and the rest of the members get
only one, and he asked what the rationale was for that decision.
Mrs. Smith indicated she had not had an opportunity to check, but
she believed it was a population-based decision, which is usually the
way the voting weight is based.
Chairman Zaremba questioned the language dealing with
appropriations for remaining obligations for JTPA activities.
Mrs. Smith stated that portion of the agreement meant that if
Federal funds came to the area and were misused, then the obligation
would be on each of the member localities for returning those funds. She
stated no funds have been misused, and there is no expectation of any
returns.
Mr. Burgett then moved the adoption of proposed Resolution R00-3
which reads:
A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BETWEEN THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE
GREATER PENINSULA WORKFORCE INVESTMENT AREA
WHEREAS, the business community and local governments on the
Greater Peninsula recognized as early as 1996 that improving the area's
workforce needed to be afforded high priority; and
WHEREAS, the Peninsula Mayors and Chairs created a Workforce
Development Commission in 1997 to begin creating a vision for an
effective workforce development system; and
WHEREAS, the local governments understood that success in economic
development must be linked with creating and maintaining a well-trained
and skilled workforce and that workforce development should be a major
priority for the Peninsula Alliance for Economic Development (PAED); and
WHEREAS, the Peninsula Mayors and Chairs have sought funding
through the Hampton Roads Partnership to establish a model workforce
development system for the Peninsula; and
WHEREAS, the Peninsula Mayors and Chairs are committed to
participating with the Hampton Roads Partnership in exploring ways to
ensure that workforce development issues will be addressed on a
region-wide basis; and
WHEREAS, the Cities of Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and
Williamsburg, and the Counties of Gloucester, James City, and York (the
"Local Governing Bodies") have established a "Greater
Peninsula" service delivery area and have created a Local Workforce
Investment Board ("Local Board") that is business driven, has
interest in the entire workforce development system, and that will
qualify for federal and state designation under the Act; and
WHEREAS, the Peninsula Alliance for Economic Development, local
Chambers of Commerce and other business entities supports this
collaborative undertaking; and
WHEREAS, the Local Governing Bodies intend to further this effort
by establishing the Greater Peninsula Workforce Development Consortium
and appointing representatives to this Consortium; and
WHEREAS, the York County Board of Supervisors has received and
reviewed a proposed Intergovernmental Agreement for Workforce
Development Services between the political subdivisions of the Greater
Peninsula Workforce Investment Area and has found that Agreement to be
acceptable:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the York County Board of
Supervisors this 15th day of March, 2000, that the County Administrator
be, and hereby is, authorized to execute the Intergovernmental Agreement
for Workforce Development Services Between the Political Subdivisions of
the Greater Peninsula Workforce Investment Area substantially in the
same form as that transmitted to the Board by report of the County
Administrator dated March 1, 2000.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Walter C. Zaremba, Chair of Board of
Supervisors and therefore the Chief Elected Official for York County, is
appointed as the representative to the Greater Peninsula Workforce
Development Consortium and James S. Burgett, Vice Chairman, is appointed
to serve as alternate.
On roll call the vote was:
Yea: (5) Wiggins, Burgett, Rapp, Noll, Zaremba
Nay: (0)
REVENUE SHARING PROGRAM
Mr. Stuck made a presentation explaining the basis for the Revenue
Sharing Program which provides road funding by the State through local
matching money. York County has participated for about 8 years now, and
the maximum any community may receive at this time is $500,000.
Currently, the County receives a little over $2 million in Secondary
Road Funds. The County has to apply for this funding with a list of
proposed projects. He stated the program is very flexible, and the
County is able to shift projects if necessary. In order to make
application, Mr. Stuck stated the Chair must sign the recommended letter
contained in the Board's agenda book, and he asked that the Board
authorize Chairman Zaremba to sign said letter.
Discussion ensued regarding the possibility of asking for more
than $500,000 in the event the program is undersubscribed.
Mr. Mark Carter suggested that if the Board wanted to ask for
more, it should add additional money to the final project on the list
which is the Yorktown Streetscape improvements because no matter what
amount of money could be made available, appropriate projects to fit the
amount could be worked in the program.
Mr. Wiggins asked if the projects on the list could be changed
around.
Mr. Stuck stated there was some flexibility depending on the
project.
Mr. Carter stated the project had to be on the list; and once it
was on the list, more money could be requested to devote to that project
by pulling some money from another project on the list.
Mr. Stuck also noted that money from a project dropped from the
list could be used for another project on the list.
Mr. Wiggins indicated he would like to see the County do something
about the drainage problems in the County, which he felt was a more
pressing issue.
Chairman Zaremba asked what alternative programs did the County
have to address the drainage issue.
Mr. Stuck explained that VDOT had very limited funds and that
drainage was a low priority to them. Other than the County's routine
maintenance work, the Board shouldn't expect VDOT to spend much money on
outfalls or ditches. The County has done a couple of projects in its
stormwater capital plan that should have had VDOT funding, but VDOT said
it did not have the money. He suggested that the Board could revisit the
County utility improvements program and decide if additional funds could
be allocated to it to address drainage problems. He stated the Board
could also change the percentage allocated from the Meals Tax by putting
a higher percentage into stormwater drainage. The Board could also move
toward a stormwater tax which is what Hampton and Newport News have gone
to because of the Federal mandate. Mr. Stuck stated the bottom line is
that it takes money to make the problems go away, so money either has to
be shifted from something else or the Board must raise taxes.
Mr. Wiggins stated he felt the County was doing a lot to improve
the looks of the County but not very much to improve the drainage
situation. He stated he felt solving the drainage problem was more
important than aesthetics.
Chairman Zaremba suggested that the Board take a tour to view the
drainage problems first-hand after a bad rain.
Mr. Wiggins indicated that the problems could be viewed now.
Mrs. Noll indicated the Board still needed to move forward with
the Revenue Sharing Program.
Miss Rapp reminded the Board that there are other areas in York
County that have drainage problems, and they need to discussed as a
whole project.
Mrs. Noll stated a work session needed to be scheduled on this
issue.
Chairman Zaremba then moved that he be authorized to sign a letter
to the Virginia Department of Transportation indicating the County's
intent to participate in the FY2000-2001 VDOT Revenue Sharing program in
the amount of $500,000.00
On roll call the vote was:
Yea: (5) Burgett, Rapp, Noll, Wiggins, Zaremba
Nay: (0)
