Work Session
March 20, 2018
VIRGINIA: The Work Session of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors began
at 4:34 PM on Tuesday, March 20, 2018 in the Main Conference Room of the County
Administration Building, located at 1 Center Street in Chatham, Virginia 24531. The following
members were present:
Tim R. Barber Tunstall District
Joe B. Davis Dan River District
Ronald S. Scearce Westover District
Ben L. Farmer Callands-Gretna District
Elton W. Blackstock, Jr. Staunton River District
Robert W. Warren Chatham-Blairs District
The Honorable Charles H. Miller, Jr., Banister District, was absent from the meeting.
Mr. David M. Smitherman, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board; Mr. J. Vaden
Hunt Esq., County Attorney; Mr. Greg L. Sides, Assistant County Administrator for Planning &
Administration, Mr. Richard Hicks, Assistant County Administrator for Operations, Mrs. Kim
Van Der Hyde, Director of Finance, and Mrs. Kaylyn McCluster, Deputy Clerk, were also
present.
Approval of Agenda
Motion was made by Mr. Blackstock, seconded by Mr. Barber, to approve the agenda,
which was unanimously approved by the Board present.
Presentations
Mr. Don Thomas, Wingate Appraisal Service, gave a Reassessment Recap for the 2018
County reassessment. He stated that there was a total of 49,891 real estate parcels and 5,425
total manufactured homes. The overall percent change from the prior year was 6.3% (taxable
property classes only). Thomas stated that the total parcels appealed was 1,077 (2.2% of total)
and the total value adjustment from those hearings was $6,143,500 (0.1% of the total). Mr.
Barber asked about the sales and the area that they were in and how were they based. Mr.
Thomas stated that location is very unique to real estate and that they try to pull the sales in the
communities that they are in to assess those particular properties. Mr. Blackstock said that he
had been asked a question by a citizen, therefore he was going to ask for clarification, that when
they started through the RFP, did anyone ask them to increase the tax value? Mr. Thomas stated
that it was an unacceptable assignment condition and no such conversations occurred.
Ms. Kelly Bailess presented to the Board the potential of moving some of the voting
precincts; 305-Riceville, 108-West Blairs, 402-Keeling, and 704-Mt. Hermon. The 640 Rescue
Squad is not ADA compliant, and also has no handicap parking. The Riceville Missionary
Baptist Church offered to allow use of the Family Life Center for Elections. The Keeling
precinct which is located in the Keeling Fire Department has moved elections into the bay
because of a large conference table preventing the flow of voters, and in the bay area there is no
7.a.a

March 20, 2018
air conditioning and the entrance is not ADA compliant. Within the same parking lot, is Oak
Grove Baptist Fellowship Hall, which has ample parking, is handicap accessible, and has air
conditioning. The Church has agreed to allow the use of the fellowship hall for elections. The
Blairs precinct has had some issues with elections being held in the building due to the traffic
pattern on Highway 29 not being safe. Since there is no crossover going southbound, there is
one access road and very limited parking to the very busy fire station which now has a helicopter
pad that causes further restrictions for signs and parking. Bailess stated that White Oak Worship
Center has welcomed the opportunity of allowing the use of their facility for the precinct for
elections. It has ample parking with handicap accessibility, as well as enough space to host
elections. The Mt. Hermon precinct is located at Mt. Hermon Courtyard and now has roof leaks
and the lighting and heat and air conditioning has been cut back. Bailess stated that the building
managers are almost impossible to contact to coordinate with to schedule setup and delivery and
each election costs $300 to rent. While looking for other options, Ms. Bailess stated that she has
run into a lot of issues that include precinct boundaries, not enough space, or parking. She has
not found a viable space for the Mt. Hermon precinct yet, but she has reached out to The Hughes
Center to see about possibly using their gymnasium. Mr. Blackstock questioned if the state
board would have a problem with voting in places of worship and Ms. Bailess said that they
would not, that the Virginia code states that it is an allowable place. Mr. Farmer asked about the
process of having to notify the citizens, and Bailess responded that when they find a new
location, they have to hold a public hearing, vote on it, and then letters are sent out to the voters
within two (2) weeks of the elections. Mr. Blackstock asked about adding the public hearing to
the business meeting and Mr. Hunt said that there was a placeholder on there and that he would
take care of it. Mr. Davis asked if the state had any consideration when it comes to a situation
like this when you have to be within that one-mile radius, and Bailess said that there is another
option of changing the precinct boundary lines which would cause redistricting for the County.
Mr. Warren stated that if they went that route and adjusted those lines, we could have some real
big adjustments in the numbers because of the condensed population and wide developments.
Bailess agreed and also noted that you cannot have a precinct with more than 5,000 voters.
Mr. Steve Nesbitt gave a presentation on the Preliminary Feasibility Analysis and
Comprehensive Solid Waste Planning and Business Advisory Services. Nesbitt stated that there
is opportunity for economies of scale and that there is a highly competitive/consolidated “waste-
shed” with a modest commercialization potential. He stated that there is a revenue potential and
they had it broken down by different cities/counties; although some of them were already in
current contracts and would be several years before they were available. (Presentation can be

Staff Reports
Mr. Hicks spoke on the Green Box sites and stated that there had been advertisement for
bids to pick up the remaining green boxes that the County has. Hicks recommended that the
Board award the bid on the green box collections to First Piedmont for $245,559.60 yearly. Mr.
Blackstock said that he has been receiving a tremendous amount of complaints about some of the
sites and that there is trash is overflowing. Hicks said that it was possible that moving forward,
there could be some additional boxes added to help offset that. Mr. Farmer echoed Mr.
Blackstock in that he has gotten numerous phone calls because his area was hit with the green
box removals. He also asked if this would cause an impact to employment and the reduction of
jobs, and Mr. Smitherman stated that there would be a reduction of two (2) truck drivers due to
the bid and one of them would be through retirement. Mr. Blackstock continued to speak on his
7.a.a
Packet Pg. 6 Attachment: 03-20-2018 WS Meeting - draft (1113 : Minutes)
Board of Supervisors
Work Session
March 20, 2018
concern of the overflowing green box sites due to the reduction. He stated that with social media
and the way technology is now, it gets blasted all over very quick and looks very bad and that it
is a problem that needs to be resolved. Mr. Warren questioned if it was a problem to be more
flexible with our hours and holidays in order to minimize those problems and Hicks stated that
he would be looking at the Landfill hours to try and fix some of these problems. Mr. Blackstock
stated his concern about going to head to head with a private business, because we don’t have to
make money and they do. Mr. Davis stated that the numbers don’t add up in order for the Board
to make money, but Mr. Smitherman stated that the number shown was not gross, and could
potentially be much more.
Hicks then spoke on an unsolicited conceptual Landfill management proposal. He stated
that there was a change in the law a few years ago, and it dealt with public and private
partnerships and the Board of Supervisors had previously adopted a policy on unsolicited
proposals and it sets out guidelines and a timetable. Hicks received a call from SANTEK Waste
Services wanting to give the County an unsolicited proposal for operation of the Landfill. He
stated that if the Board was interested, they would have to open it up for other vendors, but that it
was totally up to them; and it was also no cost related to do this. Mr. Blackstock asked if
Arcadis could have a hand in this, but Mr. Smitherman responded that they had already shown
that the County was running a pretty lean operation with what we are already doing. Mr.
Smitherman stated that it wouldn’t hurt to at least let them look at it and see if they could run it
any more efficiently than we already are. Mr. Farmer asked if SANTEK would want to do more
than just operate, and put their own trucks on the road, Mr. Smitherman said that this proposal
was just to get them inside the gate. Mr. Smitherman said they were asking for a general
consensus to look at this proposal. The Board agreed that there was a consensus to look at the
proposal.

Hearing of the Citizens
Keith Myers from the Staunton River District spoke on the road conditions of Route 640
in the Grit area; referred to as Mansion Road. He stated that it was one of the most traveled
roads in the County. Myers said that it has fallen into much disrepair and is one of the worst
roads that he has to travel on as there are drop offs on that road that are as much as sixteen inches
deep. He would appreciate any help they could get from the Board to assist in getting Mansion
road fixed.
Ben Davenport from the Chatham/Blairs District spoke and stated that he had lived here
all his life. He commended the animal shelter and stated it had been needed for a long time.
Davenport stated that he is on the Go Virginia State Board, and that Danville and Pittsylvania

best mega site in the state, and that the Board will be viewed as visionaries. Davenport
encouraged them to continue to invest in marketing and site development.

Mr. Smitherman started by saying that Fire & Rescue adds about $1 million and
one employee to the budget and also states that in the new proposed budget there are
certain basic minimum requirements such as using our purchasing policy, using the
incident command system, maintaining an active duty roster, and maintaining a 70%
response rate. He then directed discussion to Mr. Slemp regarding the proposed budget
for Fire & Rescue Agencies and the feedback that he has gotten from that matter. Mr.
Slemp spoke about how him and some of the fire and rescue agencies had been going
around and doing needs assessments in the County to try and determine things that the
different agencies needed, and also things that they didn’t need. There were certain
places where they were able to save money by lending out supplies from one agency to
the other. He spoke highly of how they were all coming together and working together
more every day. He said that he was able to tweak the budget some and save some
money in certain line items. He did point out that not all fire stations are able to provide
their firefighters with their own masks, which is a major health and safety issue. Mr.
Slemp states that there are some concerns with the new budget, but that they are all in
agreement that they are all in the same place and they all want to get better. He turns
discussion over to Scottie Adams.
Mr. Adams spoke and requested for support of their budget if they could stay
within the budget and work with Mr. Slemp on areas that needed improvement. He also
thanked the County Administrator for putting that into the budget. He stated that he felt
that the needs assessment needed to be done across the board so they had visited every
fire and rescue squad in the County. He stated that there were currently 156 vehicles on
the insurance, not counting the SOT trailers. After visiting all agencies, they were able to
find savings and recommendations for the insurance and will be presenting them to the
Fire/Rescue Association and then get it back to the Board. An example was given of one
fire station having 14 trucks, but the County only insuring 10 of them. The other 4 would
be left up to the agency to either get rid of or pay for the insurance themselves. There are
21 fire stations and 12 rescue squads within the County, and the argument was made that
depending on the location and call volumes, not every station would need the same
amount of trucks to be insured. Mr. Blackstock asked for clarification on the trucks that
would be paid for by the agency, and Mr. Adams stated that they would like to keep the
trucks on the County insurance but would like for it to come off the block funding. Mr.
Hunt said that he thought that could be worked out legally. Mr. Warren said that he’s
understanding it that each department is falling below the 7 trucks per locality on
average, and Mr. Adams confirmed that. Mr. Adams requested that they present their
proposal to Fire and Rescue and then present it back to the Board. Mr. Slemp said that
very little would change since they are already on the insurance policy and Mr. Adams
said that they were planning to meet on Tuesday to adjust the value on some of the trucks
to reflect what they are really worth, and hopefully that will reduce some of that cost as
well.
Mr. Adams stated that there were 11 agencies present at their workshop and no
one wanted to sign the service agreement. He said that their goal is a 12-minute response
time. They do not have members who stay at their rescue buildings and they also don’t
want their members running 100mph down the road to try and make that response time.

He stated that they do want accountability, but that they don’t agree with the service
contract. They want to work with Mr. Slemp and also report back to the Board monthly.
Mr. Blackstock made a suggestion that the Fire and Rescue agencies sit down
with Mr. Slemp and have a working document for the Board to go through so that they
can look at it and work through their differences. Mr. Adams agreed and said that they
were for that. Mr. Slemp said that he felt that the agencies are worried about the
“contract” part, and that is their fear. Mr. Smitherman suggested that a memorandum of
agreement be made instead of a contract.
Mr. Warren questioned the mechanism of being able to count the first 10-minute
responses and Mr. Adams stated that they don’t have a system that will record that. Mr.
Scearce asks if there was any way to put a note in the system to record who was actually
the first to respond, even in personal vehicles, but Mr. Adams said that they can’t input
that into the system that they currently have. Mr. Warren states that it seems that the
responders are actually doing a better job than the numbers are really reflecti ng and he is
more concerned about actual on the scene time versus response time. The downfall is
that there is no where in the CAD system to input this information. Mr. Slemp said that
right now they do not have a centralized system that can do this type of thing but does
want that type of system in the future.
Mr. Adams then spoke on the titling of vehicles. There is a vehicle going to
Renan any day and there is a concern titling the vehicle to the County and to Renan and
would rather have an agreement versus a joint title. He gave a handout from Campbell
County Board of Supervisors as an example. Mr. Blackstock voiced his concern that the
taxpayer previously has no claim that the equipment that has been bought as a board. He
thinks it’s not fair and just not smart and that there could be some hang ups with the
County’s name on every vehicle title. He stated that he wouldn’t have a problem if a
document were developed where it was signed by the appropriate officials from the
agency as well as the County Attorney and County Administrator saying that the County
would be able to get the money back legally if something were to happen. Mr. Warren
agreed with Mr. Blackstock’s statement and he commended Fire and Rescue for their
cooperation and collaboration. Mr. Adams stated that he wants to come up with a set of
specs to report back and Mr. Warren stated that he wants to be kept in the loop on
purchases, because Economic Development could affect the need for services in certain
areas. Mr. Smitherman said that they could work with Mr. Hunt and Mr. Slemp on the
document for titling.
Mr. Scearce asked if grant money would be available for the mask issue and Mr.
Slemp said that the money that was put into the budget was for new air bottles, but some
of those people were able to find grant money for that so they are hoping they will be
able to use that money for the masks. Mr. Farmer commended Fire & Rescue for all their
hard work.

Motion was made by Dr. Miller and a second by Mr. Davis to approve the agenda.
Mr. Hicks started with reviewing the proposals for the Armory. He spoke on 4
proposed uses and had a handout that showed what they were, as follows:
Pittsylvania County Schools – Ready for Success
Chatham First – Local Arts, Community and Commerce
Pittsylvania County – Public Safety Training Center and Emergency Operations
Center – E-911 Center
Pittsylvania County Parks and Recreation – Fitness and Youth Practice Facility
Mr. Hicks explained that the Ready for Success program was hoping to be able to
work with troubled youth instead of having them go through the County’s CSA program.
Chatham First is a locally based arts and farmer’s market. Hicks stated that the Public
Safety Training Center does need to be addressed because of the current flooding issues,
7.a.d

but that is a longer-term project. The last option was for Pittsylvania County Parks and
Recreation to use it as a fitness and youth practice facility. The Armory is currently
being used by the Parks and Recreation department for youth basketball practice.
Hicks stated that if the schools were to use it for their Ready for Success program,
that the gym portion could still be used by the Parks and Recreation department. Mr.
Davis stated that he was hoping that would be the case, for it to still be used by Parks and
Recreation. Hicks pointed out the current zoning of the property, and the fact that if the
property was used for a school it would need a Conditional Use Permit by the Town
Council by the Town of Chatham.
Dr. Miller stated that anything that would help to get away from the CSA debt
would be agreeable to him. Mr. Scearce asked if there was any knowledge of the cost
savings of CSA if the school were to use the facility, and he also asked if it were used for
a youth facility, if there would be any equipment installed and the cost to the County for
that. Mr. Smitherman added that he had spoken with Mark Moore about the need for a
fitness facility in the community, but all of that would be 100% County cost; unless
someone wanted to make a charitable contribution. The schools initial run would be to
have two small classrooms. Mr. Smitherman said that he and Dr. Jones had walked
through the Armory and saw very minimal costs to get up and going; especially since
they don’t see the need for A/C. Although, they are required to have a playground for
CSA type services. Mr. Smitherman also stated that if the school were to use the facility,
they were still able to incorporate some of the other proposals. They would still be able
to have recreation uses being that the kids wouldn’t be there after school hours. Mr.
Davis asked how that would be written into a proposal with other facilities that could use
the space. Mr. Smitherman noted that there are other things there that could be used in
other ways, such as the building pad that could potentially be used for Public Safety in
the future; and the schools could also use the building in the back for their maintenance
shop. Mr. Hunt stated that the County could enter into some kind of contractual joint use
agreement which would outline that it could be used for multiple things and Mr. Davis
stated that he liked that the best so far and he felt that it was the best overall pick.
Mr. Davis recommended to ask the schools to come up with a proposal agreement
so that we could see what it would save the County and then to take the matter to the full
Board at a work session. Dr. Miller made the motion to reach out to the schools for
further information, and it was seconded by Mr. Davis. Mr. Hunt suggested that staff
make it a point to set up a meeting with the schools and with Mr. Cocke, Chatham Town
Manager, in the near future. Mr. Davis also asked if there would be any additional
maintenance costs, although we have been maintaining it for years. Mr. Smitherman said
that there is a little fence work needed and equipment for the playground. Also, A/C in
classrooms at some point, but only the split units. The classrooms need paint and wax on
the floors as well, but hopefully these could be a shared cost. Dr. Miller stated that the
local arts could be contracted out as well and that this could be built into the lease
agreement, as making the building available for community activity.
A motion was made by Dr. Miller, with a second from Mr. Davis to adjourn at 4:16 pm.

Public Hearings
4A.) PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE PUBLIC HEARING
A Public Hearing was held tonight to hear citizen input on a proposed real estate tax increase;
details of said proposed real estate tax increase are as follows:
1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property, excluding additional
assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s
total assessed value of real property by 6.68 %.
2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would
levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total
assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $.55 per
$100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate.”
3. Effective Rate Increase: The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors proposes to
adopt a tax rate of $.70 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the
lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be $.15 per $100, or 27%. This
7.a.e
Packet Pg. 24 Attachment: 04-09-2018 Special Call Meeting - Draft (1113 : Minutes)

difference will be known as the “effective tax rate increase.” However, individual
property taxes may increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above
percentage.

VIRGINIA: The Finance Committee of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors was

New Business
Mr. Smitherman gave a short presentation reviewing the revenue options, that included the
implementation of the Solid Waste Fee and potential cuts. Smitherman stated that the feedback
received at the Community Budget Meetings was not that revenue should not be raised, but was more
centered around how it should be raised. He stated that some of the revenue options were personal
property, real estate, and the Solid Waste Fee. To implement the Solid Waste Fee, there is a required
public hearing that must be held, and it is also too late to be put on the June billing. Smitherman
stated that he made contact with KeyStone and confirmed that it can be added to the December
billing, and they can collect the entire yearly fee. Some potential cuts that Smitherman spoke about
were cutting two (2) compactor sites that would save $280K, the Landfill Reserve that would save
$450K, a two (2) week non-public safety furlough that would save $240K, five (5) deputies with a
savings of $240K, Wayside Park with $72K in savings, COLA that would save $300K, the Salary
Study Phase II that would save $140K, and a new Public Safety Position that would save $80K.

Finance Committee
April 10, 2018
A motion was made by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Scearce, that the Finance Committee
recommend the approval of the FY2018-19 budget as presented with the following changes: Real
Estate Tax Rate at .62, Personal Property Tax Rate at $9, and the Vehicle Registration Fee at $40.75,
$100,000 to be budgeted for a recruitment and retention incentive program for Sheriff’s Deputies, and
a Public Hearing be scheduled as soon as possible to consider the establishment of a $10 per month
Solid Waste Fee.
Mr. Blackstock asked about the total revenue of the .62¢ real estate tax rate and Smitherman
stated that it would be $1.2 million additional revenue. Mr. Farmer stated that he doesn’t feel
comfortable going above the number that was advertised. Mr. Barber stated to put the Sheriff
positions back in if there is additional money. Mr. Blackstock stated that the money from the
Sheriff’s vacancy savings would, most of the time, be there. Mr. Barber also stated his concern about
Fire & Rescue being upset again. Mr. Scearce stated that the proposed agreements were put out and
that is what they are upset about, but there would be a meeting on Wednesday, April 11, 2018, to sit
down and discuss all of that with the Fire & Rescue Association and hopefully that would help to
clarify things and get them back to being satisfied. Mr. Barber then brought up the Land Use
Program, and he feels that agriculture is the backbone of our County, and does not want to make large
changes to that Program. Mr. Warren stated that he did not want to see the budget balanced on the
backs of the County employees by doing the furloughs, and he also did not want to see any compactor
sites cuts in order to balance the budget; which is why he will be supporting the motion on the table.
Mr. Blackstock stated the need for a new compactor site and Mr. Warren asked if they could
accelerate the compactor site that Mr. Blackstock was speaking of, and also asked if they could use
part of the $450K in landfill reserve next year to go ahead and get three (3) compactor sites. Then, the
next year, just drop that amount down to cover that cost. Mr. Barber stated that Berry Hill had been
brought up a lot in the public meetings, and Berry Hill really is the key to reducing taxes in the future.
Mr. Warren stated that he had just attended a RIFA meeting and that Berry Hill is now the number
one viewed site in the State of Virginia, and the State is helping to market that area as well.
Mr. Blackstock stated that the motion is basically about revenue, and on the expenditure side,
they want to make some changes to include three (3) compactor sites versus two (2). With the extra
revenue that is generated above the 4.4 million they should guarantee the Sheriff that he gets his five
(5) positions. The $100,000 that Mr. Davis mentioned for retention will come off of vacancy savings
and make a change in the budget for that, since you have to cut somewhere to include $100,000 more
in the budget. Mrs. Van Der Hyde recommended the Budget Resolution include what the Board is
doing for Real Estate, Personal Property, and the License Fee; and, that they advertise for the Solid
Waste Fee. The County budget will have to be re-advertised, because it changes. The changes can be
part of the amendment, and if it does happen to spill over the amount that it just spills over, but it’s
being advertised and will be a new figure.
The Honorable Shirley Hammock, Commissioner of Revenue, asked if the Board was
proposing picking up where they left off two (2) years ago with the same Ordinance. She stated that
right now there are 868 permanent affidavits on file. When the Board last adopted, they allowed
citizens to come in and say that the house is vacant and that they will never rent it, they then signed a
permanent affidavit and took that fee off. Mr. Hunt suggested that a Legislative Committee be held
to discuss that matter and Mr. Smitherman agreed. Blackstock asked if the Public Hearing for the
Solid Waste Fee had to be on May 3, 2018. Mrs. Van Der Hyde stated that her only concern with
waiting and not holding it on that day is that the Constitutional Officers have to go ahead with the
software in order for the billing to be correct. Mr. Hunt said there was no magic number about May

3, but made it clear to the Board that they need to follow through with agreeing to put the Solid Waste
Fee in place. Blackstock stated that they could hold that Public Hearing at the May Business Meeting
and Mr. Hunt agreed. Blackstock stated that he would like for the Board to commit to leaving Land
Use alone, and the rest of the Board agreed.
Mr. Davis asked how much of the vehicle registration fee the County receives and Mrs. Van
Der Hyde stated that it all comes to the County. The increase from $38.75 to $40.75 is really a $2
increase across the board on all registrations.
A motion was made by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Scearce, to amend his motion to include a
$2 increase to all registrations, which was unanimously approved by the Committee.

Mr. Blackstock adjourned the meeting at 7:22 PM.

Attachment(s): Treasurer_4-17-18 Meeting
Reviewed By:
SUMMARY:
In order to memorialize an understanding of the working relationship between Constitutional
Officers and the County, the County enters into Cooperative Agreements to clarify said
relationship, and ensure all employees of Constitutional Offices are made a part of, and are
subject to, the County's personnel system and policies. Each Constitutional Office was provided
an opportunity to review personnel options in the best interests of their employees, and opt into
the County's personnel system, or opt out, while abiding to mandated employment laws. The
Cooperative Agreements are also a means by which the Board of Supervisors can ensure that
Constitutional Officers operate in accordance with policies and procedures established by the
Board of Supervisors, in light of supplemental funding provided by the County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE:
The approximate cost associated with the Treasurer’s Office following the County’s pay plan is
$20,000 for FY2018. This amount is already budgeted in the salary increase line item and will
not require an additional appropriation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the Cooperative Agreement between the
County and the Treasurer’s Office, and authorize appropriate signatures where required.

May 6 - 12, 2018
Whereas travel has a positive effect on Virginia and the nation’s economic prosperity and image
abroad, it also impacts business productivity and individual travelers’ well-being.
Whereas travel to and within the United States provides significant economic benefits for the
nation, generating more than $2.3 trillion in economic output in 2016, with $990.3 billion spent
directly by travelers.
Whereas travel is among the largest private-sector employers in the United States, supporting
15.3 million jobs in 2016, including 8.6 million directly in the travel industry and 6.7 million in
other industries.
Whereas travelers’ spending directly generated tax revenues of $157.8 billion for federal, state
and local governments, funds used to support essential services and programs.
Whereas tourism continues to have a positive impact on Pittsylvania County, with over $73
million in travel related expenditures, 657 people employed in local tourism positions, over $2
million in local tax receipts, and $14 million in local payroll in 2016.
Whereas international travel to the United States is the nation’s No. 1 services export. In 2016,
travel generated $245 billion in exports, creating a $84 billion trade surplus for the United
States.
Whereas meetings, events and incentive travel are core business functions that help companies
strengthen business performance, educate employees and customers and reward business
accomplishments-which in turn boosts the U.S. economy. In 2016, domestic and international
business travelers spent $307.2 billion.
Whereas leisure travel, which accounts for more than three-quarters of all trips taken in the
United States, spurs countless benefits to travelers’ health and wellness, creativity, cultural
awareness, education, happiness, productivity and relationships.
Whereas travel is a pillar of economic growth, creating jobs at a faster rate than other sectors.

SUMMARY:
1. 305-Riceville: In May of 2017, Mike Shelton, 640/Riceville Fire Chief, contacted the
Registrar’s Office and notified it that his Board had met and voted to no longer allow the
County to use the squad building as the 305- Riceville voting precinct. Upon further
inspection, it has been determined that the building is not ADA compliant, has no
handicap parking, and does not have enough parking to accommodate the seven (7)
Election Officials and 1,100 registered voters. The Riceville Missionary Baptist Church
has offered to allow the County to use the Family Life Center as a voting precinct. The
Family Life Center has four (4) handicap parking spaces, meets all ADA requirements,
and is located at 1444 Riceville Road, Java, Virginia 24565, within sight of the current
voting precinct. Mr. Shelton has allowed us to continue to use the Rescue Sq uad until a
new facility has been chosen. For the reasons previously stated, the Family Life Center
has ample space and amenities to be a voting precinct and is the ideal location.
2. 402-Keeling: The 402-Keeling precinct, with 1,381 registered voters, located in the
Keeling Fire Department, has moved elections into the bay, because of a large conference
table preventing the flow of voters. The bay has no air conditioning and its entrance is
not ADA compliant. Within the same parking lot, is Oak Grove Baptist Fellowship Hall,
which has ample parking, is handicap accessible, has air conditioning, and has an open
area for setup, which is an ideal place to server the voters and the election officials. Oak
Grove Baptist Fellowship Hall is located at 2217 Oak Grove Road, Keeling, Virginia

SUMMARY:
On February 23, 2017, a Letter of Intent signing ceremony was held in Hurt during which
Pittsylvania County, Town of Hurt, Town of Altavista, and City of Danville, signed a letter
stating that the locales would work together to create a new regional industrial facility authority
to market and develop the Southern Virginia Multimodal Park in Hurt. This authority would be
named the Staunton River Regional Industrial Facility Authority (“SR RIFA”). After the s igning
ceremony, Staff from the locales have been working together, with input from their governing
bodies, to negotiate the terms of a SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement. Said
document has been approved by legal counsel and is before the Board for consideration. This
document must be approved by all “member” locales; as of April 4, 2018, Altavista has already
approved the document.
FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE:
The SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement contains the following cost -revenue sharing
percentages: 50% Pittsylvania County; 4% Town of Hurt; 23% Town of Altavista; and 23%
City of Danville. The initial fee of creating SR RIFA and contributing towards a potential land
option is $100,000; of which Pittsylvania County is responsible for paying $50,000 or 50% (as
stated in the Revenue-Cost Sharing Agreement).
RECOMMENDATION:
County Staff recommends the Board approve the attached SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing
Agreement.
MOTION:
I make a Motion to approve the execution of the SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing
Agreement.

Section 4. - Project Costs; Contributions.
a. Generally. In order to receive and as a condition of receiving its respective
Member Share of Facility Generated Income and Revenues under this Agreement, each Member
Locality (i) shall make an initial contribution as set forth in Section 8 below and (ii) shall make
additional contributions according to its Member Share, as such contributions may be
unanimously agreed upon by the Members from time to time in conformance with the provisions
of Section 4(b), in the form of adopting an annual budget for the Authority or passing a specific
resolution of the Authority for each such additional contribution by all Members. The budget
shall include funds for the acquisition, construction and development of any Authority Facility,
as well as for marketing and promotion of any Authority Facility. In the event that a Member
does not agree, or for whatever other reason, fails to contribute its Member Share as set forth in a
unanimously adopted budget or resolution by the Authority, the Authority, by unanimous vote of
the remaining Members, shall have the right to waive such additional contribution obligation by
that non-contributing Member, and the Member Shares of all of the Members shall be
recalculated based on the additional contributions actually made by the other Members.
However, no such waiver may be made by the Authority, if doing so shall cause the Member
Share of the non-contributing Member to be equal to or less than zero percent (0%). If such
waiver is not made by the Authority, the procedures under Section 16 below shall be employed -
- the non-contributing Member shall be deemed to be a Non-Appropriating Member Locality and
the amount not contributed by that Member shall be deemed to be a Member Locality
Obligation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any future contributions by a
Member Locality to the Authority shall be voluntary and subject to an appropriation by the
governing body of the Member Locality. The failure of the governing body of a Member
Locality to appropriate funds for any future contribution to the Authority shall not be a breach of
this Agreement.
b. Recruitment Incentives; Additional Recruitment Incentives. As part of the
Authority’s mission, the Authority may offer, from time to time, grants or incentives
(collectively, the “Recruitment Incentives”) to an industry or business client in order to recruit
such industry or business to locate within any of the Authority Facilities. The cost value of the
Recruitment Incentives offered by the Authority shall be solely determined and based upon
expected direct taxes paid by the project via the taxable value of machine, tools and real
property. The total value of the Recruitment Incentives offered by the Authority shall be
dependent upon the targeted return on investment years as unanimously agreed upon by the
Members; however, this provision shall not preclude any Member Locality, on its own behalf
and expense, from voluntarily offering additional incentives for a particular project’s
Recruitment Incentives package. In the event of such additional incentives by a Member
Locality (the “Additive Member Locality”), the Authority, by unanimous consent of the
12.b.a
Packet Pg. 134 Attachment: SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement11 from CW (002) (1124 : SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement)
5
Member Localities, may deem the value of such additional incentives as a credit toward the
Additive Member Locality’s Member Share of the Recruitment Incentives offered for a future
project, and the provisions of Section 7 below shall apply.
c. “Opt Out” of Additional Contributions for a Proposed Project. In the event that a
proposed project would require additional contributions (whether in cash or other property) from
every Member according to its respective Member Share, and one or more Members wish to opt-
out from such additional contributions for that project, the Authority, prior to engaging in that
project, shall determine by unanimous vote and resolution by its Board of Directors whether one
or more of the following would apply: (i) the opting-out Member's share of the revenue from
that particular project would be reduced by a fixed dollar amount or by a fixed percentage of up
to one hundred percent (100%); (ii) the opting-out Member's share of the revenue from all, but
not less than all, Authority projects would be reduced by a fixed dollar amount; and/or (iii) the
percentages of the Member Shares would be adjusted based on the value of each such additional
contribution made.
d. Utility Extensions. With respect to utility extension installations to an Authority
Facility, the costs of any such installation ("Utility Extension Costs") shall be deemed to be the
exclusive cost of the Member Locality whose service jurisdiction includes the area of such
installation. Utility Extension Costs shall be excluded from a cost of the Authority that
otherwise would be shared by the Member Localities according to the respective Member Share.
Accordingly, Utility Extension Costs shall be disregarded for purposes of any Dissolution of
Authority; however, if the Authority, in its sole discretion, advanced Utility Extension Costs for
the benefit of a Member Locality and such advance is unpaid, the value of assets of the Authority
to be distributed to that Member Locality shall be reduced by an amount equal to the unpaid
balance of the advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the costs of utility extension
installations to the SVMP shall be at the exclusive cost of Pittsylvania (or the Pittsylvania
County Service Authority, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia, as the case
may be).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Altavista shall have no
obligation to provide utility services to the SVMP. Any future extensions of utility lines or
expansions in treatment or supply capacity by Altavista shall be addressed in a future agreement
according to the terms and conditions stated in any such future agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Hurt shall have no obligation to
provide utility services to the SVMP. Any future extensions of utility lines or expansions in
treatment or supply capacity by Hurt shall be addressed in a future agreement according to the
terms and conditions stated in any such future agreement.

12.b.a
Packet Pg. 135 Attachment: SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement11 from CW (002) (1124 : SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement)

a. Income Generated by the Authority. The parties agree that any and all income
generated as a result of sales, leases, conveyances, and/or interest on funds held by the Authority
shall constitute income generated by the Authority. Such income generated by the Authority
shall be held and utilized by the Authority in accordance with the Act to further promote
economic development within the localities of the Members, as the Authority in its discretion
deems appropriate.
b. Additional Funding Contributions by all Member Localities. The parties agree
that additional funding shall be necessary for the acquisition, construction and development of
the SVMP and other Authority Facilities designated from time to time. The parties further agree
that in the event the Member Localities unanimously determine that such additional funding for
such purposes needs to be contributed to the Authority, then each Member Locality shall
contribute its respective Member Share of such funding, subject to the provisions of Section 4
above and Section 16 below.
As provided in Section 4(a) above, any future contributions by a Member Locality to the
Authority shall be voluntary and subject to an appropriation by the governing body of the
Member Locality. The failure of the governing body of a Member Locality to appropriate funds
for any future contribution to the Authority shall not be a breach of this Agreement.
Section 6. - Administration of the Funding for Projects. The parties agree that the
administration and support given to each Authority Facility as well as support given to the
Authority shall be allocated and determined by the Authority. Unless otherwise determined by
resolution of the Authority, Pittsylvania shall serve as fiscal agent of the Authority for the
development of the SVMP and all other Authority Facilities.
Section 7. - Pursuit of Other Funding. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any one
or more Member Localities from pursuing, and successfully receiving, other funding sources to
pay for site development of, or Recruitment Incentives for, any Authority Facility ("Grant
Applicant Member Locality"). However, one Member Locality cannot and shall not bind any
of the other Member Localities (or the Authority, as the case may be) to any grants without the
express written approval of all Member Localities (or the Authority, as the case may be).
Moreover, in the event that a Grant Applicant Member Locality is obligated to return grant
monies or to make other reimbursements to the grant source or its designee, the amount of such
returned monies or reimbursements shall be deemed to be a cost of the Authority and subject to
the cost-sharing provisions of Section 4 above, so long as (i) the Grant Applicant Member
Locality had obtained written approval from all Member Localities (or the Authority, as the case
may be) of the Grant Applicant Member Locality's grant conditions; and (ii) the purposes of the
grant were in furtherance of the acquisition, construction or development of an Authority
Facility, including without limitation Recruitment Incentives.

Section 8. - Initial Contributions. The Member Localities hereby acknowledge the initial
contributions to the Authority as follows:
Member Locality Contribution
Pittsylvania $50,000.00
Hurt $4,000.00
Altavista $23,000.00
Danville $23,000.00
Total $100,000.00
All other contributions from a Member Locality to the Authority shall be acknowledged by the
Treasurer of the Authority, who shall update the respective Member Shares of the Member
Localities.
Section 9. - Sharing of Machinery and Tools Tax Revenues. Once one or more industries
or businesses have located within any Authority Facility, the Host Locality will begin to realize
tax revenues from such industries or businesses for machinery and tools tax. The Host Locality
alone shall determine the rate at which machinery and tools are taxed and the due date of such
taxes. The Host Locality agrees that subject to Section 16 below, upon receipt of machinery and
tools tax remitted by an industry or business located within an Authority Facility, the Host
Locality shall appropriate the total of taxes so received, pay the same to each of the Non-Host
Localities according to the respective Member Share, and retain the remaining amount.
Section 10. - Sharing of Real Property and Personal Property Tax Revenue. Once one or
more industries or businesses have located within any Authority Facility or purchased real
property in any Authority Facility, the Host Locality will begin to realize tax revenues from such
industries or businesses for real property and personal property. The Host Locality alone shall
determine the rate at which real and personal property is taxed and the due date of such taxes.
The Host Locality agrees that subject to Section 16 below, upon receipt of such real property
taxes, personal property taxes or both remitted by an industry or business located within an
Authority Facility, the Host Locality shall appropriate the total of taxes so received, pay the
same to each of the Non-Host Localities according to the respective Member Share, and retain
the remaining amount.
Section 11. - Sharing of Miscellaneous Tax Revenues. Once one or more industries or
businesses have located within any Authority Facility, the Host Locality will begin to realize
12.b.a
Packet Pg. 137 Attachment: SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement11 from CW (002) (1124 : SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement)
8
other tax revenues from business license tax, meals tax, lodging tax and any alcohol tax or any
income and other Facility Generated Income and Revenues in addition to those described in
Sections 9 and 10 above. The Host Locality alone shall determine the tax rates for these taxes
and their due dates. The Host Locality agrees that subject to Section 16 below, upon receipt of
such taxes remitted shall appropriate the total taxes so received from these industries or
businesses located in the Authority Facility, pay the same to each of the Non-Host Localities
according to the respective Member Share, and retain the remaining amount. The parties further
agree that should the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia authorize a locality to
levy and collect a new local tax and should the Host Locality choose to implement such future
tax on property located within a Host Locality, then the parties agree that such new tax revenues
realized from a joint regional authority will be shared equally in the same manner and fashion as
other taxes within this Agreement.
Section 12. - Payment of Tax Revenues; No Pledge of the Credit or Taxing Power. All
tax revenues due to the Non-Host Locality under this Agreement shall be paid by the Host
Locality within sixty (60) days after receipt and appropriation of such tax revenues. If any tax
delinquencies occur, each Non-Host Locality will pay its respective Member Share of the cost of
collecting past due taxes, and will receive its respective Member Share of the penalties and
interest accrued and paid. In accordance with Virginia Code ' 15.2-6406, as amended, the
sharing of tax revenues of the governing body of a Member Locality pursuant to this Agreement
shall not constitute a pledge of the credit or taxing power of such Member Locality.
Section 13. - Decisions by or Consent from the Member Localities. Except for decisions
or consents pertaining to Dissolution of Authority, the amendment of this Agreement, or
additional contributions to the Authority, or except as otherwise required by law, the requirement
of any decision or consent of a Member Locality under this Agreement may be satisfied, but
shall not be required to be satisfied, by a writing executed by those certain directors of the
Authority who were appointed by that Member Locality.
Section 14. - Dissolution of Authority. In the event of Dissolution of Authority,
Dissolution of Authority shall be made pursuant to Virginia Code ' 15.2-6415, as amended.
Reference is here made to Section 4(c) above with respect to Utilities Extension Costs and
Section 16 below.
Section 15. - Limitation of Liability. The Authority shall ensure the payment of all
obligations, costs, and expenses for the implementation of any Authority Facility anticipated
under this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that no Member Locality shall be liable or
responsible for the financing or for any debts of any Authority Facility, except with the prior
express, written consent of that Member Locality or except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.

Section 16. - Non-Appropriation Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Member Locality fails during any fiscal year to appropriate or
allocate sufficient funds to pay the amounts to be paid by that Member Locality (the "Non-
Appropriating Member Locality") pursuant to this Agreement which become due and payable
during such fiscal year (the "Member Locality Obligation"), then the Member Locality
Obligation of that Non-Appropriating Member Locality shall terminate at the end of the fiscal
year in which such non-appropriation occurs. However, unless the Member Locality Obligation
is waived by the Authority and the Member Shares of the Member Localities are recalculated as
set forth in Section 4 above, the unpaid balance of the Member Locality Obligation shall be
applied against the Non-Appropriating Member Locality's Member Share of all sums otherwise
payable and due to such Non-Appropriating Member under this Agreement.
As provided in Section 4(a) above, the failure of the governing body of a Member
Locality to appropriate funds for any future contribution to the Authority shall not be a breach of
this Agreement.

party shall be deemed a continuing or further waiver of the same term or condition or a waiver of
any other term or condition of this Agreement.

Professional Corporation, pertaining to the formation of the Authority and the negotiating,
drafting, and execution of the Development Agreement which shall be the responsibility of the

hereby.

and deliver all such further documents as may be reasonably required to carry out and
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

a. If the parties are unable to resolve a Member Controversy, the parties shall
attempt to resolve the same by mediation by a mediator of The McCammon Group, who is
experienced and knowledgeable in the subject matter of such Member Controversy, in
accordance with the rules of such mediator or such other rules as the parties in dispute may then
agree. If a party fails to respond to a written request for mediation within thirty (30) days after
service or fails to participate in any scheduled mediation conference, that party shall be deemed
to have waived its right to mediate the issues in dispute, and any unresolved Member
Controversy may be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction, so long as the venue is
12.b.a
Packet Pg. 139 Attachment: SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement11 from CW (002) (1124 : SR RIFA Cost and Revenue Sharing Agreement)
10
located outside the geographic area of the Member Localities in dispute.
b. The mediator from The McCammon Group shall be selected by the parties in
dispute. The mediator shall conduct mediation at the location to be agreed upon by the parties in
dispute or absent such agreement, by the mediator, so long as the location is not within the
geographic area of the Member Localities in dispute. Within two (2) days after selection, the
parties in dispute shall furnish the mediator with copies of the notice, this Agreement, the party's
(or parties') response, and any other documents exchanged by the parties in dispute. If the
mediation does not result in settlement of the Member Controversy within thirty (30) days after
the initial mediation conference, then the mediator shall make a written recommendation as to
the resolution of the Member Controversy. Each party in dispute, in its sole discretion, shall
accept or reject such recommendation in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of such
recommendation. If such recommendation is not so accepted by both parties in dispute or a
settlement is not so reached within such ten (10) day period, any remaining Member Controversy
may be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction, so long as the venue is located outside the
geographic area of the Member Localities in dispute.
c. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this
Section 20 shall not preclude any party, prior to an election for or pending mediation of a matter,
from pursuing in a court of competent jurisdiction temporary injunctive or other equitable relief
to protect the parties' respective interests under this Agreement or under the Act.
d. The compensation and expenses of the mediation and any administrative fees or
costs of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties in dispute.
Section 21. - Default. The parties retain all rights at law and in equity to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement in accordance with applicable law.
Section 22. - Headings. The descriptive headings in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
Section 23. - Notices. Any notice required or contemplated to be given to a party by any
of the parties by any other party shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery, certified
or registered United States mail, or a private courier service which provides evidence of receipt
as part of its service, to the Clerk of that Member, with a copy to that Member's attorney and to
the attorney of the Authority. Any party may change the address to which notices hereunder are
to be sent to it by giving written notice of such change in the manner provided herein. A notice
given hereunder shall be deemed given on the date of hand delivery, deposit with the United
States Postal Service properly addressed and postage prepaid, or delivery to a courier service
properly addressed with all charges prepaid, as appropriate.

construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The parties have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly
by the parties and no presumptions or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any

Virginia.
