The Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) is the metric that the County annually uses to determine COLA’s. The CPI that should have been used for FY2023 was 7.4%. However, at that time, the County Finance Director, in consultation with the Interim County Administrator, adjusted this rate to 3.6% since the County had made several salary adjustments during FY2022. At the time of the FY2023 County Budget approval, the State had not yet approved a FY2023 Budget. The County received Budget estimates for Constitutional Offices on June 8, 2022. It is the intention of the State to provide a 5% salary increase for FY2023, effective August 1 and another 5% salary increase for FY2024. The County also received notification that the Department of Social Services (“DSS”) employees will receive a 5% salary increase for FY2023, effective July 1 and a $1,000 bonus in December. Considering the recent economic downturn and a review of the current CPI, which was 9.2% as of May 31, 2022, County Staff feels strongly that all employees should receive a 5% COLA. Not only would this increase provide some assistance with increased day-to-day costs but would also ensure equity among all employees. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: The budgetary impact for the 1.4% additional increase would equate to roughly $50,000 and would allow all County employees on the County’s Pay Plan to receive a 5% COLA for FY2023 effective August 1, 2022. This increase would be covered by carryover funds from the FY2022 County Budget. Only DSS employees would receive their increase on July 1 and their increase would be covered primarily by State funds and would not require additional local funding. RECOMMENDATION: County Staff recommends the Finance Committee recommend the full Board approve a COLA 5.b Packet Pg. 14 in the amount of 5% for all County employees on the County’s Pay Plan, effective August 1, 2022. MOTION: “I make a Motion to recommend to the full Board approve a COLA increase of 5% for all County employees on the County’s Pay Plan, effective August 1, 2022.” 5.b Packet Pg. 15 Finance Committee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACTION ITEM Agenda Title: Health/Dental Insurance Premium Review (Staff Contact: Kim Van Der Hyde) Staff Contact(s): Kimberly G.

Slemp Agenda Date: June 21, 2022 Item Number: 5.d Attachment(s): Gretna Public Library Presentation 2_14_22 a Reviewed By: SUMMARY: The Gretna Library renovation that is underway included new outdoor spaces, including a small, fenced patio for children that opens onto open patio space with covered tables with power for the public to work and use the library’s Wi-Fi, even when the Library is closed. No other additional changes are planned for the original 1999 exterior. This renovation is funded by the County ($500,000) and funds raised by the PPL Foundation ($453,000). The Danville Regional Foundation (“DRF”) and the J.T. Minnie-Maude Charitable Trust also encouraged the Library Board and the Library Foundation to consider expanding the outdoor plans for the Library to take advantage of the Library’s lot size and location between Gretna Middle and High Schools. DRF provided an additional $20,000 in Grant funds to hire a landscape architect for this purpose. The Library Foundation worked with Trenda Leavitt of Beechgrove Design Landscape Architecture to develop more extensive plans based on the public input it collected during the recent Library Expansion Study, a survey of other libraries, and ideas from Library Staff and Library Journals. The new plans, detailed in the attached Landscape Presentation, will make the Gretna Library an even more engaging community resource and a destination for families. It includes a welcoming entrance plaza and entrance signage for the (already planned) digital sign, book benches that form a recurring public art project, and a gateway that leads to an expanded work/reading patio, a curving walk around an open lawn surrounded by native trees shading colorful Adirondack chairs for reading or visiting, a small open stage area covered by shade sails and two curving amphitheater-style benches, three (3) sets of reading hammock bollards (the hammocks can be checked out from the library to users), a boxwood Music Maze for children with three (3) music stations, an expanded fence-enclosed children’s reading garden, an educational pollinator garden with sculpture and water feature, a walking trail with dog station and bottle filling and dog water station, and a freestanding studio building for programs and classes. Even the water collection pond is included and planted as a Rain Garden to be both beautiful and educational. If constructed, the expanded landscape elements, most of which would be available for the public to enjoy seven (7) days a week, 365 days per year, even when the Library is closed. The Gretna 5.d Packet Pg. 17 Library is expanding its operational hours from the current forty0eight (48) hours per week to fifty-two (52) hours per week to include four (4) Saturday hours and anticipates expanding that to six (6) Saturday hours (10:00 am - 4:00 pm) when the exterior work is completed. This will provide the public with more opportunities to use both the Library and the exterior spaces, and for local groups and the Library to host programs in the new spaces. For the Committee’s review and consideration, a related presentation is attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: The expanded landscape plan is estimated to cost $450,000. Some of these elements are included in the original plans and funding ($80,000), but the new elements total approximately $370,000. DRF has committed to fund $150,000 of that total, contingent upon the County’s willingness to contribute to this Project. County Library Staff anticipate that most local charitable foundations will also expect the County to contribute to the Project. Additional Grant Applications, totaling $70,000 are currently pending or in work. One (1) private donor has contributed $25,000 to the project for the Children’s Reading Garden, and other private donors are in discussions with the Library Foundation. The Friends of the Gretna Library is contributing $20,000. DRF has suggested that a $100,000 contribution to the Project from the County would be a reasonable cost share of approximately twenty-two percent (22%) of the total effort.

Number: 5.e Attachment(s): Reviewed By: SUMMARY: A September 2021 Report from the Virginia Department of Elections recommends additional upgrades to the County’s Elections and Training Center (“ETC”). These recommendations revolve around the physical aspects of the building such as security improvements and handicap access. Christopher C. Slemp, Director of Operations, and Kelly Keesee, Registrar, will lead discussion regarding the needed improvements. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: Kelly Keesee has identified approximately $100,000 in the Registrar’s FY22 Budget that was earmarked for a June Primary. This Primary is not taking place and these funds could be transferred and used for the needed improvements. RECOMMENDATION: County Staff recommends the Committee recommend the full Board approve the discussed improvements using the Registrar’s FY22 Budget funds identified not to exceed $100,000. MOTION: “I make a Motion recommending the full Board approve the improvements recommended by the Virginia Department of Elections to the ETC using the funds identified in the Registrar’s FY22 Budget not to exceed $100,000.” 5.e Packet Pg. 72 Finance Committee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACTION ITEM Agenda Title: EMS Billing Rates Increase (Staff Contact: Kasey Seay) Staff Contact(s): Christopher C.

Current Proposed • Basic Life Support (non-emergent) $600 $600 • Basic Life Support (emergent) $600 $650 • Advanced Life Support (non-emergent) $750 $775 • Advanced Life Support (emergent) $750 $800 • Advanced Life Support II $900 $1000 • Treat/No Transport $400 $400 • Patient Refusal $75 $100 • Mileage $16 $18 The FRC is requesting the Board hold a Public Hearing at its July 2022 Business Meeting to allow citizen comments prior to enacting said proposed revisions. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: These changes have no impact on the County’s FY23 Budget. RECOMMENDATION: County Staff recommends the Committee recommend the full Board authorize County Staff to advertise for a Public Hearing at the July 2022 Board’s Business Meeting regarding the above, potential County EMS billing rate changes.

Slemp Agenda Date: June 21, 2022 Item Number: 5.g Attachment(s): Reviewed By: SUMMARY: Currently, Virginia’s EMS Agencies rely on area hospitals, working in conjunction with local EMS Councils, to provide drugs and drug boxes for all highly controlled substances. Locally, the County also keeps lessor-controlled substances in stock and has other controls to track and administer these medications. Virginia is the only state to still use a drug box exchange program. Recently, the County’s Public Safety Department has been made of aware of changes coming from the Virginia Board of Pharmacy that will lead to stricter controls of medications. Additionally, the Drug Enforcement Agency is revising its rules and regulations that could bring serious changes to the drug box exchange program. Chris Key and Kasey Seay will lead a discussion concerning the future of the County’s medication procedures and the possible financial situation this may bring.

Slemp) Staff Contact(s): Christopher C.Slemp Agenda Date: June 21, 2022 Item Number: 5.h Attachment(s): Reviewed By: SUMMARY: In the current FY22 County Budget, there is a $49,000 excess amount in the Line Item to fund Volunteer Virginia Line of Duty Death Benefits and to fund Volunteer Retirement Benefits for those Agencies that participate. At their April Meeting, the Fire and Rescue Commission (“FRC”) Meeting discussed these issues and the FRC requested that the Board consider transferring $24,000 from this Line and to the volunteer allotments. This is being requested due to Agencies having excess expenses in the current Fiscal Year due to inflation and excess cost of fuel and other Fire and Rescue supplies and equipment. The FRC has proposed that single service Agencies would receive an additional $750, and dual service Agencies receive $1,500. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: The requested amount is within the County’s current Budget’s funds. RECOMMENDATION: County Staff request the Finance Committee recommend the full Board support the requests as presented. MOTION: “I make a Motion to recommend the full Board transfer $24,000 from Line Item 100-4-032200- 530600 to Line Item 100-4-032200-566100 in the FY22 County Budget, and that single service Agencies be given an additional $750, and dual service Agencies be giving an additional $1,500.” 5.h Packet Pg. 76 Finance Committee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACTION ITEM Agenda Title: FY23 Funding Matrix (Staff Contact: Chris Key) Staff Contact(s): Christopher C. Slemp Agenda Date: June 21, 2022 Item Number: 5.i Attachment(s): Reviewed By: SUMMARY: In FY22, the Fire and Rescue Commission (“FRC”), along with the Board of Supervisors (“Board”), approved a new funding matrix which gave each Volunteer Fire and Rescue Agency a base amount of funding, and then additional funding based on call volume (the “Matrix”). Due to increases in call volumes, additional funding was needed in the FY23 County Budget to appropriately fund the Matrix. There is a need for an additional $24,000 to fund the Matrix correctly and give those agencies with increased call volume the appropriate amount of funding. This increase was requested in the FY23 County Budget but was not funded. $24,000 is being requested from the County’s FY23 Contingency Budget Line to correctly fund the Matrix. At the April FRC Meeting, the FRC discussed this Budget issue and voted to request the Board to appropriately fund the Matrix. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: These funds are being requested from the County’s FY23 Contingency Budget Line. RECOMMENDATION: County Staff recommends the Finance Committee recommend the full Board approve the transfer of $24,000 from the County’s FY23 Contingency Budget Line to appropriately fund the Matrix. MOTION: “I make a Motion to recommend the full Board approve the transfer of $24,000 from the County’s FY23 Contingency Line to Line item 100-4-032200-566100 to appropriately fund the Matrix.” 5.i Packet Pg. 77 Finance Committee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACTION ITEM Agenda Title: FY23 Additional Contingency Funding (Staff Contact: Chris Key) Staff Contact(s): Christopher C.

However, the FRC has endorsed a plan to give fire departments an additional $3,500 base amount and $1,500 base increase for EMS agencies. Also, Angel Search and Rescue would receive an additional $1000. This amounted to an overall increase of $91,000 to line 100-4-032200-566100. Additionally, it was requested to increase the EMS pay per call from $15 a call to $25 a call. This would amount to an overall increase of $77,500 for line 100-4-032200-566400. These requests were not funded but those requested amounts were placed in the contingency funds. The Fire and Rescue Commission (FRC) has discussed this matter at the May meeting and a motion was put forth to request the Board of Supervisors (Board) transfer funds from FY23 contingencies to the appropriate fire and rescue budget lines to fund the requested increases. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: If the full Board approves the above requests, $97,000 would need to be transferred from the FY23 County Budget Contingency Line to Line Item 100-4-032200-566100, and $77,500 would need to be transferred from FY23 County Budget Contingency Line to Line Item 100-4-032200- 566400 allowing from an increase in the EMS pay per call of $25/call.” RECOMMENDATION: For the Committee’s review and consideration.
