Board of Supervisors Regular First Meeting   6/7/2023

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So any discussion?

Alright.

I'm gonna ask Mr. Rosenberg, is that verbal consensus okay, or must we, should we have a vote on that?

Well, I would suggest, Madam Chair, that when you entertain a motion to approve the agenda, the member who makes the motion do so with the addition of this particular item.

If not, then the floor is open for a motion to adopt the final agenda with an amendment.

Thank you.

Without objection, if the clerk will call the roll.

Mr. Galloway?

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you, Supervisor Mallek, for bringing that to our attention.

Supervisor Andrews?

Thank you.

Supervisor Galloway.

Thank you.

Supervisor Mallek?

Thank you.

Supervisor McKeel.

Alright, thank you.

All right, thank you.

until we have completed both of them in order to provide the same respect and appreciation for the first proclamation as should be received by those for the second proclamation.

Supervisor Mallek, I will turn the floor over to you for the purpose of making a motion.

And I move this as a motion.

Without objection, if the clerk will call the roll.

Yes.

And I believe Mr. Brooks, you is here, or Mr.?

I'm here to introduce Mr. Brooks.

So I'd like to introduce.

Good afternoon, Mr. Brooks.

And thank you all so much for your time.

Supervisor Andrews?

and some of that I felt a little bit of, you know, Charlottesville has always been on the best side of that history, but your presentation really made me feel like we are a community that's working together in many respects and have made pieces that are doing great things and I really thank you for reminding us of that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Supervisor Mallek?

Thank you.

Supervisor McKeel.

So thank you very much.

Thank you.

Without objection, if the clerk will call the roll.

Yes.

Mr. Brookings?

So without further ado.

Good afternoon and welcome, and we will have the proclamation for you when you're finished with your comments.

Thank you, good afternoon.

You're welcome.

Happy Pride.

Supervisor Andrews, any comments?

Thank you.

Supervisor Galloway?

Thank you.

Supervisor Mallek?

Thank you very much.

Supervisor McKeel.

So with that, thank you, Donna.

Thank you.

And I'll turn the floor over to Vice Chair Andrews to read the procedural rules.

And our first speaker is Nancy Krenig.

Please feel free to move the microphone so it's pointed at your mouth.

Solar panels would be treated as such and therefore there would be runoff which would not be beneficial to the community.

I'm sorry your three minutes are up, but you are encouraged and welcome to leave your written comments with the clerk to ensure that they're both part of the record and that all the supervisors will get the remainder of your remarks.

I will send them by email.

Thank you.

Just so people are already followed by Don Long and Christine Putnam.

Good afternoon.

Thank you.

Don Long, please.

Thank you.

Christine Putnam, followed by Leah Young and Valerie Long.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Did you all get them?

We will.

So I look forward to you looking at the information that I provided.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Thank you.

I believe that's our final speaker.

Oh, that was the final speaker.

The floor is open for a motion to adopt the consent agenda.

Second.

Without objection, if the clerk will call the roll.

Yes.

All right.

Good afternoon, Mr. Fritz.

And my role here is simply to pull up the PowerPoint presentation and introduce Mike Zener, who is our consultant with the Berkeley Group.

And if you then again just identify yourself for the record, please.

Just listen to your discussion and I appreciate the time.

Supervisor Andrews?

If we could go back to the previous slide, though, just to have that one up there, because I think that's helpful.

I just throw that out for consideration.

So, Supervisor Andrews, go ahead.

I appreciate you listening to me.

Thank you.

Supervisor Galloway.

Right.

Correct.

Supervisor Mallek.

Now I understand the direction is we're not going to go through the 12 things right now.

Not at this point.

Thank you.

Supervisor McKeel.

Thank you, Donna.

I definitely concur with Supervisor McKeel and I appreciate our speaker from the community that part of the conversation and work product has got to be with those who engage in this as their business in order for us to have input from everyone to be able to make our best decisions.

Yes, it's a great opportunity.

Other general questions, Supervisor Andrews?

area around it and to set aside for decommissioning and things like that.

Is that something we should hold off on?

If you look at our agenda, I'm not sure we have time for each one of us to go through.

Would it be good just to ask supervisors to provide input back to staff on those 12 questions?

I would have a few comments if that's what we're going to do, just to respond to what we've heard.

OK, thank you.

Okay.

Mr. Zane, or anything more you would like to tell us at this point?

Thank you all, I appreciate the feedback.

I'm just saying

Yeah, and certainly our scope is focused on utility scale, but in anything we do, we try to ensure that we don't preclude those accessory type uses that I know are valuable to your community.

Board, at this time, we're only a few minutes behind.

We can do our 3.15 recess and ask that we come back as close to 3.30 as possible.

All right, excuse me, good afternoon everybody and welcome back.

Good afternoon, Mr. Henry.

Lance?

And so with that, I will go to the pause for questions slide.

Supervisor Andrews?

and those include land use, whether because of the timing of all the 90 days, 90 days, 90 days, whether that's going to be included as part of this process and that ends only.

If Mr. Henry or others can expand on that, I'll gladly step away.

I don't really have any questions at this time, but I appreciate having the update.

Supervisor Mallek?

I'm glad to know about the layout and the timetable and I'm eagerly awaiting what you find.

Supervisor McKeel?

Thank you very much Lance.

So thank you.

Mr. Sumner.

Good afternoon, Mr. Sumner.

I'm glad to entertain any questions.

Supervisor Andrews?

Or is that just interest on the five years?

And so it would be an interest-only payment.

Supervisor Galloway.

Thank you.

Supervisor Mallek?

Thank you, no questions.

Thank you, Supervisor McKeel.

Thank you, I appreciate the information.

Anything else, Mr. Henry?

Thank you.

Before I turn it over to him, do you have questions on any of the materials or the partnership development work that I just mentioned?

All right.

We will ask our questions.

Supervisor Andrews?

You used the word coincidental, but I just think the timing that you're laying out is brilliant, and I applaud your coordinating of these things.

Supervisor Mallek?

So we're creeping our way back to what their original need was, which was 100 acres.

Supervisor McKeel?

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

And Mr. Rosenberg.

Thank you.

Supervisor Andrews?

Thank you.

Supervisor Mallek?

Very clear.

Supervisor McKeel?

That was very helpful.

No?

And then good afternoon to both the Chair and the Vice Chair of the Albemarle County School Board.

Lee will present.

Good afternoon, Vice Chair Lee.

And all of those also start July 1st.

And we are feeling very positive about it and that it is in the best interest of our students.

That team served 100,000 healthy meals and I think that we cannot overestimate how important those meals were to the people receiving them So I'm just really proud that they were recognized

We're happy to take questions.

Supervisor Andrews?

I know some other people have children in the schools that are going to be particularly concerned about transportation issues.

Supervisor Galloway?

Is that going on or has that been dropped?

So the hope is that we can get closer to what is the true number of people's riding the bus as quickly as possible.

Thank you.

Did you want me to provide an answer?

If you have an answer to the attendance thing and that, yeah, absolutely, but I didn't need to bog us down.

Listening is that if the most important thing right now is conveying to the to the school Whatever your transportation need is that you can adequately predict because if you do not return your Transportation form and we're doing a lot of outreach to make sure people do but if you are not on the list by June 30th If after that you request something you are wait-listed I'm not saying we won't get everyone off the wait list But I just think it's important to note that whatever your needs are we are able to cater to them But you need to make them known as soon as possible

Supervisor Mallek?

Thank you very much.

Supervisor McKeel.

Maybe you could explain it better just quickly because I'm not sure everybody understands that might be listening what the bellwether report really is going to be about.
