Here.

Supervisor O'Brien?

Here.

Supervisor Jones?

Supervisor Herring?

Here.

And Supervisor Rutherford?

I know she's here.

I think I forgot to unmute myself from here.

Before we do that, Sandy, do we have any comments via email, online, website?

We do not, no.

Charise, take it away.

would vote to accept the proposed changes so that we can send the plan back to the DEQ and that Dominion Energy can get their permit to move forward with building the captive industrial land.

Does anybody have any questions?

What are the consequences if we say no?

It is a conundrum.

I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, they're part of where they have this coal ash also includes this landfill, so that's my understanding.

And if I'm not mistaken, we're not voting on this till later in the agenda, correct, Charise?

Say it again.

I guess, are you guys sticking around or are you heading out, I guess?

It looks like Christine is coming up again later.

Introduction of our COO PD.

Unmuted now.

I am very pleased to introduce to you all.

Just confirm.

I was going to give Ruth the floor if she wants to say anything to the commission.

There's a lot of good projects going on at the Planning District Commission, so I'm happy to be a part.

Ian.

So I just wanted to briefly go through some of the key dimensions of the plan as well as sort of where we are at right now.

So if you wouldn't mind going to the next slide, Christine.

Oh, no.

Well, it's in the email.

Sorry, that was, so I should have just shared my own screen, Christine, I'm sorry.

That was my fault.

But I'd be happy to take, oh, Commissioner Solla-Yates.

How are we thinking about that?

And I would encourage, you know, if that's something that the city wants to look at, that can definitely live within the action items section.

Thank you.

Yeah, Commissioner Andrews.

Sorry.

Cause there's obviously slight variations depending on where you are in the planning district.

Hearing none.

All right.

Awesome.

Back to Charise.

OK. Hopefully everybody can see my screen.

So the Home American Rescue Plan, Home ARP in short, it's, if I can navigate my screen.

Can Christine share it for you?

No, I had to share it because it was corrupted on her end.

If you want, if I can share my screen, that would be fun.

Hmm.

Thank you.

Stalking or Human Trafficking, other populations and that was defined as prevention of once again becoming unhoused people who are in and out of being unhoused who may not currently be unhoused at the time they fall into this category to serve those of greater risk of housing instability and veteran households households with veterans as had a household or veterans within the household

Next slide, please.

We will do a creative gap analysis, which is a requirement to go into the amendment and submit that to HUD and create and submit an amendment to the 2021 action plan for the release of the funds.

Next slide, please.

So if anyone has any questions about this, please direct them to me and I can answer your questions for you.

Any questions for Sharice at this time?

So every other slide was missing from the presentation because it was further down the page.

Apologies.

Oh no, that's fine.

They're all there.

They're all there.

Is that required?

So that's why that decision was made.

I just want to make sure I understand.

It's the internal home consortium agreement that we have with our localities and sub-recipients.

For the purposes of the home ARP funding, we are required to use the existing agreement in order to allocate the home ARP funds.

Thank you.

I had a similar question, but was wondering, is that related to the sort of the gap finding exercise that's required or is that, are you looking at different gaps?

Thank you.

All right, any other questions for Sharice?

All right, I'm hearing, yeah,

If and when approved, we can then seek reimbursement from that 5% planning grant money.

Christine, if you could just give us what you want to say on the financial report, or if there's anything you need to add.

January, we saw a net gain of 9,246, which means we have a revised net gain for the fiscal year in the amount of 11,756.

Yeah, I know.

We did it.

Does this interface at all with the old bike 76 corridor study we did in 2012?

Again, that could change drastically depending on how much we need to spend in admin for a body based on the spend down of the actual grant and also with some upcoming anticipated personnel changes that may also affect that bottom line by the end of the fiscal year.

And then David, I don't mean to call you out, I forgot to warn you of this, but did you want to discuss the ED evaluation at this point or did you want to wait until later in the agenda?

The subcommittee to have a meeting either the week of the 21st or the week of the 28th in time to have your discussions prior then to the April 7th commission meetings.

Thank you so much, David, for taking that on.

That is all I have for my updates.

You almost done yet?

Well, not that I'm counting, but there are nine days left.

Everybody going to be wrapping stuff up pretty efficiently?

There'll be a lot of negotiating over the next week, for sure.

Mr. Payne, you're here today.

A proposed school reconfiguration and school construction, so definitely monitoring how the budget works out at the state level, what level of additional loans and other support for schools there be, but that's a big thing we're tackling now.

All right, moving on, Lyle.

Don't know how we're going to get out of it, but that's yet another thing.

All right, Mr. Galloway, Albemarle.

I'll hit three things.

This past month, we started looking at developer incentives for our housing Albemarle plan.

Thank you.

Jim,

Does anyone have any questions about what we've done with reconstitution, the budget, or so far on incentives?

Are you looking at parking?

We are, that is one of the things that is in the mix for potentially reducing some of the parking needs as an incentive for affordable housing.

It's going to be hard.

If no questions, I'll let it go.

Chair Rutherford, make sure you call on Mr. Andrews first next time.

Okay.

I got you.

We'll start with the new blood first, Rachel.

And that's folded into our lives fine.

You're still confused.

So that's where we stand with that and of course we're in budget season but I'm sure Tommy has some such stuff to add and if anyone else has anything to add or heard about the diamond or rather the bow tie or especially on the Fluvanna side if they've heard anything any information back from the citizens you know please let me know because we do want to kind of sit down and work with VDOT and all the stakeholders.

Not yet.

And I think our county administrator was to just how strongly opposed after this public meeting on the 23rd of February happened that the community was opposing it.

All right, Tommy.

We're kind of just sailing along pretty smoothly other than for the budget price.

Well, I can't say, unfortunately, we're still working through it, but a lot of concern about a solar project outside of Gordon.

Is that it, Tommy?

Did you notice that Rachel's Internet service is working?

Western end of the county, come on Tommy, come this way.

Oh, that's true.

He might've been on Comcast, so he's only a mile or two from me, so I don't understand that, I've heard.

I have two little things.

So that's next Thursday.

That was part of our last meeting.

That's pretty much all I have, sir.

I'll also announce that for a second.

Moving on to Fluvanna, Tony.

Is Tony still here?

And welcome aboard.

Thank you.

Nelson Caddy.

There was someone I could reach out to or if those are maintained somewhere in a state department or something.

I would maybe ask the Louisa supervisor from the Mine Run district to chime in here.

Mountain Road district.

Mine Run is in Orange County.

Which county are you talking about?

I've had two different surveyors shout about boundary lines with Augusta County.

Are you talking about the Wintergreen side?

No, it's not related to that.

What else you got?

Thank you.

Did it take you five, six months?

Right.

So we're going to shake things up.

It's the first time for everything.

What's upcoming, Christine?

That's all for next month.

Did we decide, David?

Thank you for your patience.

All in favor, say aye.

Aye.

Thank you guys, see y'all.
