05-05-2014 reg meetingRegular Meeting May 5, 2014 Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors Monday, May 5, 2014 Regular Meeting VIRGINIA: The Regular Meeting of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors was held on Monday, May 5, 2014 in the General District Courtroom of the Edwin R. Shields Addition in Chatham, Virginia. Jessie L. Barksdale, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The following members were present: Tim Barber Tunstall District Coy E. Harville Westover District James Snead Dan River District Brenda H. Bowman Chatham-Blairs District Jerry A. Hagerman Callands-Gretna District Elton W. Blackstock Staunton River District Mr. Otis S. Hawker, Interim County Administrator, Mr. Greg L. Sides, Assistant County Administrator for Planning & Development, Mr. J. Vaden Hunt, County Attorney, and Ms. Rebecca Flippen, Deputy Clerk to the Board, were also present. Mr. Barksdale led the Pledge of Alliance. Approval of Agenda Motion was made by Mr. Blackstock, Seconded by Mr. .Harville, to approve the agenda which was unanimously approved by the board. Hearing of the Citizens Matthew Speck of the Staunton River District commented on the outcome of the Town of Greece vs. Galloway case and the Supreme Court giving limited approval to public prayers at a New York town's board meetings, citing the country's history of religious acknowledgment in the legislature. Mr. Speck hoped this would be encouraging to Pittsylvania County’s current case, and then offered a word of prayer. Diane Bower of the Callands-Gretna District and resident of Double Bridge Road, stated that tractor trailers were also using Double Bridge Road as a thoroughfare, creating extremely unsafe conditions as the road was not designed for that kind of traffic, and was not sure why the trucks were now using this road since it did not lead to Hwy 40, or anywhere else for that matter. Arthur Brunner, Peter Pilser, Annegret Wiegmann, Lettie Campbell, Lori Humson, Arlene Pilser, and Dee Dee Smoot, all residents of the Callands-Gretna District who live on Climax Road, made the following comments concerning tractor trailer trucks using Climax and Piney Roads as thoroughfares between Highways 57 and 40: that the flatbed trucks carrying wood and the milk tankers from the dairy were very respectful but all the t ractor trailers and wood chip trucks were speeding, crowding the roads; the roads are too narrow and were not built for that kind of traffic, and when they meet a car or another truck, one or the other of the vehicles has to run off the shoulder of the road in order to pass without a collision, thus damaging the roads as well as creating a safety issue; submitted photos and a DVD of the truck traffic and property damage from trucks running off the roads’ shoulders; concerns for the safety of children playing in their yards and getting on/off the bus while this kind of truck traffic was occurring; questioned if there was a conflict of interest for certain local officials who worked with the power plant and comments that were made concerning Main Street in the Town of Chatham not being able to take all the truck traffic; not wanting the Climax Road corridor widened-just wanting a No Thru Truck Traffic Restriction; and speed limits for the roads needing to be enforced. John Barker of the Callands-Gretna District and a resident of Climax Road commented on his accident on Climax Road involving a tractor trailer that resulted in him becoming disabled. Roy Ford of the Westover District made a comparison of a resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors in 2006 concerning Governor Kaine’s proposed transportation initiative that failed that year, (the failure of becoming a deciding factor for Mr. Ford and his brothers to sell their business) and the resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors concerning the General Assembly passing a timely budget and Medicaid Expansion. His company experienced loss of sales, and ultimately loss of jobs, as well as other related companies in Pittsylvania County, that Mr. Ford felt was directly related to the failure of the transportation initiative. Mr. Ford pointed Regular Meeting May 5, 2014 out that the CEOs of Danville Regional and Centra of Lynchburg came before the Board and said that if Medicaid Expansion in Virginia fails, both would be reducing workforces as a direct result of the failure, as well as 3,500 citizens in Pittsylvania County that would be without medical coverage. Medicaid Expansion coverage would add jobs to the area, Mr. Ford said. Mr. Ford gave more supporting comments on the benefits of Medicaid Expansion in Virginia. Mr. Ford concluded that what’s currently going on in Richmond is the worst example of partisan politics involving the General Assembly and that the Board should be careful on what kind of supporting resolutions they approve. Elizabeth Jones of the Banister District commented on partisan politics currently going on in the Virginia General Assembly concerning Medicaid Expansion. Ms. Jones stated that this expansion would directly benefit 3,500 residents in Pittsylvania County. Marie Paddock of the Callands-Gretna District and resident of Double Bridge Road/SR 804 (which is only 1.8 miles long) said tractor trailer trucks were now coming down that road starting at 6:30am until 7:00pm, is unclear where the trucks are going, and the road doesn’t even accommodate 2 cars meeting much less trucks without one of the vehicles having to go off the road shoulder. Ms. Paddock stated recently one of her neighbors mowing along the roadside frontage of their property was almost hit by one the trucks. Mike Reed of the Staunton River District commented on the issue concerning the heavy tractor trailer traffic on Climax Road and stated that by restricting the truck traffic from that road would only affect 1/10 of mile of Main Street Chatham to route the trucks to the 29 By-pass. Phillip Lovelace of the Callands-Gretna District supported the comments made by Elizabeth Jones concerning the need for Medicaid Expansion in Virginia and that the Virginia General Assembly needs to stop the partisan politics, made comments concerning the Joint Setback Study Subcommittee’s recommendations, questioning if lots currently owned but not yet with dwellings would be grandfathered in, and while he did agree lot sizes needed to be increased, that overall the entire study and subject needed to be thrown in the trash since the recommendations were only going to benefit a couple of large farms in the county and negatively impact everyone else living in the county. Eloise Neenon of the Chatham-Blairs commented on her concerns with the resolution passed by some localities involving Medicaid Expansion in Virginia and stated this expansion was extremely important for 3,500 citizens in Pittsylvania County alone, but not excluding the countless others in Virginia, who otherwise would not have medical coverage, and would help provide a significant amount of jobs in the medical fields. Ms. Neenon handed out information concerning Medicaid Expansion that she encouraged the Board members to read. The Honorable Michael Taylor, Sheriff for Pittsylvania County, invited everyone in attendance to the super gala event on May 10, 2014 supporting “It’s All About the Kids” and hoped everyone that could would attend at least one of the gala’s events that were stationed in various areas of the county. Debra Dix of the Chatham-Blairs District supported the comments made by the Climax Road residents, was opposed to any of the Joint Setback Study Subcommittee’s recommendations; and felt it was a sin to not vote for Medicaid Expansion in Virginia. Roy Byrd, Mayor for the Town of Chatham, commented on the alternative route for trucks coming to Main Street Chatham if there was a truck restriction on the Climax Road and that the citizens of the Town of Chatham had the same concerns as those of Climax Road and felt that by sending all the trucks to Main Street was just shuffling the problem from one area to another. This concluded the Hearing of the Citizens. Consent Agenda Motion was made by Mr. Snead, Seconded by Mr. Barber, to approve the Consent Agenda.

Presentations Jenny Lee Sanders, Registrar for Pittsylvania County, answered questions the Board of Supervisors had concerning the Registrar’s Office selling old curb side voting m achines to Campbell County and the City of Danville. Ms. Sanders explained they were machines that were being phased out and those 2 localities were going to use them through this year’s elections, and paid $100 for each machine; 17machines going to Campbell County and 13 going to the City of Danville, for a total of $3,000 paid to Pittsylvania County. While Ms. Sanders was present, the Board of Supervisors also discussed the Registrar’s request to donate surplus computer equipment to Goodwill. These were computers that were no longer being used and all information contained on them had already been removed by the IT Department. Motion was made by Mr. Harville, Seconded by Mr. Blackstock, to authorize the donation of the surplus computers to Goodwill, which was unanimously approved by the Board. Unfinished Business At their adjourned meeting on April 22, 2014 a Motion was made by Mr. Harville, Seconded by Mr. Barber, to send the recommendations submitted by the Joint Setback Study Subcommittee to the Planning Commission for their review. Mr. Hagerman stated the Board had just received the recommendations right before the Board meeting started and made a Substitute Motion, Seconded by Mr. Blackstock, to table the issue until the May 5, 2014 Board of Supervisors meeting in order for the Board members to have time to review the recommendations. At the April 22 meeting, the Board voted 6-0 to approve Mr. Hagerman’s Substitute Motion, with Mr. Harville abstaining from voting and now the committee’s recommendations were back before the Board for their consideration. Motion came from Mr. Harville, Seconded by Mr. Blackstock, to forward the study to the Planning Commission for further review and suggestions. The Board of Supervisors agreed by a 6-1 majority vote, with Mr. Hagerman in opposition, to forward the study to the Planning Commission, but expected there to be improvements made on the recommendations. New Business Motion came from Mr. Harville, Seconded by Mr. Barber, to have the Finance Committee further review the adopted FY2014/15 budget. Mr. Harville’s Motion failed by a 3 to 4 majority vote, with Mr. Blackstock, Ms. Bowman, Mr. Hagerman and Mr. Barksdale opposing. Motion was made by Mr. Hagerman to rescind Resolution 2014-03-03 adopted by Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors for the Governor of Virginia and the Virginia General Assembly to pass a budget as soon as practicable to ensure the continued functioning of state and local governments; and that the issue of Medicaid Expansion under the Affordable Care Act should be decoupled from budget negotiations and considered a separate legislative session to facilitate prompt passage of a state budget. Mr. Hagerman’s Motion failed for lack of a Second. Motion was made by Mr. Hagerman to hold a public hearing for citizen input on a No Thru Truck Traffic Restriction Engineering Study for SR 790/Piney Road (from SR 40 to SR 799/Climax Road); SR 799/Climax Road-entire length from Hwy 57 to Hwy 40; SR 750/Green Regular Meeting May 5, 2014 Pond Road (from Hwy 57 to SR 649/Anderson Mill Road); SR 750/Oxford Road (from Hwy 40 West to SR 649/Anderson Mill Road); and SR 649/Anderson Mill Road (from SR 750/Oxford - Green Pond Roads to SR 799/Climax Road).
